RP3 is only supported with 64-bit IOS XR software releases.
Note
• The router must have two RP2 cards (active and standby) up and running.
• First and second generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards must be removed from the chassis as
they are incompatible with RP3.
Procedure
Step 1 Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RP0 and RP1 are in Ready State.
Example:
Router# show redundancy summary
Active/Primary Standby/Backup
-------------- --------------
0/RP0/CPU0(A) 0/RP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready)
0/RP0/CPU0(P) 0/RP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)
Step 2 Shutdown the standby RP2 card (slot 1) using the admin hw-module shutdown location 0/RP1 command.
Step 3 Remove the standby RP2 card. When RP2 is removed, an alarm is generated indicating that the redundancy
is lost. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis, on page
245.
Step 4 Insert RP3 in slot 1 and allow RP3 to bootup.
Step 5 Verify both the RPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command.
Example:
Router#show platform
Node Type State Config state
