 |
|
Hi,
I am new to Cisco environment. I am trying to upgrade the current IOS
to ver 12.2 on a 2500 series router. I am taking following steps:
1) configure terminal
2) config-reg 0x2101
^Z
3) router# reload
4) Router(boot)#copy tftp flash
Partition Size Used Free Bank-Size State Copy
Mode
1 8192K 5181K 3010K 8192K Read/Write
Direct
2 8192K 5771K 2420K 8192K Read/Write
Direct
[Type ?<no> for partition directory; ? for full directory; q to abort]
Which partition? [default = 1]
System flash directory, partition 1:
File Length Name/status
1 5305376 c2500-d-l.112-8
[5305440 bytes used, 3083168 available, 8388608 total]
Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 192.168.1.100
Source file name? c2500-js-l.122-7.bin
Destination file name [c2500-js-l.122-7.bin]? c2500-js-l.122-7.bin
Accessing file 'c2500-js-l.122-7.bin' on 192.168.1.100...
Loading c2500-js-l.122-7.bin ...from 192.168.1.100 (via Ethernet0): !
[OK]
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm]y
Flash contains files. Are you sure you want to erase? [confirm]y
%Error: Image size exceeds flash size
Kindly let me know if I am making any mistakes here. upon running copy
tftp flash I get this option to select flash partition "[Type ?<no> for
partition directory; ? for full directory; q to abort]". I am hit
"enter" key on the key board for the full directory selection but I am
getting above error message.
My IOS image is functional I downloaded it to a tftp from a functional
2500 router.
You can see that I have 2 flash cards of 8mb, looks like I have to take
some steps so that both flash cards appear as a single memory location
of 16 mb where I can xfer the image. I am unable to find any links on
web at this topic and need yr help. |

To get the "full directory selection" you would have to type the question mark.
Hitting return at that point is equivilent to chosing partition 1
("[default = 1]")

I don't believe that it is possible to combine two flash cards to effectively
make one larger flash card. You will need a flash card that is large enough
to hold the image on its own.

You are going from c2500-d-l.112-8 to c2500-js-l.122-7.bin
c2500-d-l.112-8 is so old that the Cisco Feature Navigator disavows it --
it claims the 2500 only supports 11.2(15) and upwards.
The d-l series is the IP/IPX/AT/DEC feature set.
The js-l series is the ENTERPRISE PLUS feature set.

That sounds to me like you are not entitled to run the new feature set
(ENTERPRISE PLUS) on the existing router (IP/IPX/AT/DEC).
ENTERPRISE PLUS is one of the very largest feature sets -- the only
larger images in 11.2 were the the ENTERPRISE PLUS 56 and ENTERPRISE/APPN series.
In 12.2(7), there -are- no larger images.
IP/IPX/AT/DEC for 12.2(7) is 8/16 for the 2500 -- that is, requires 8 Mb of RAM and
16 Mb of flash. ENTERPRISE PLUS in the same release takes 16 Mb of RAM and 16 Mb of
flash. Your current image requires 4 or less Mb of RAM. Do you even -have- 16 Mb
of RAM in the device? |

If you have two 8 MB partitions, there may be a command in your 'sh
run' that looks like this: partition flash 2 8 8
You'll need to type no partition flash 2 8 8 in the global config.
You may need to format one partition before you are able to do this. |

Since the 2500 is run-from-flash, you won't be able to do anything
until you boot from the ROM image first. config-register 0x2101 then
reboot.
Once in the ROM mini-IOS image, you can investigate re-partitioning the
flash to 16MB and reloading a new image.
