    Upgrading the Junos OS on a Routing Matrix with a TX Matrix Plus Router

    When you upgrade the Junos OS on a routing matrix with a TX Matrix Plus router, the new image is loaded onto the TX Matrix Plus router (sfc0) and distributed to all of the connected T1600 routers (lcc0, lcc1, lcc2, and lcc3).

    Note: Throughout this task description, the terms TX Matrix Plus router and T1600 router refer to the routing matrix switch-fabric chassis (SFC) and line-card chassis (LCC), respectively.

    Before you begin upgrading the Junos OS on a routing matrix, be sure you have:

    • Sufficient free disk space on each Routing Engine in the routing matrix. To determine the amount of disk space currently available on all Routing Engines of the routing matrix, issue the show system storage operational command.
    • Sufficient DRAM on each Routing Engine in the routing matrix. To determine the amount of DRAM currently available on all the Routing Engines in the routing matrix, issue the show chassis routing-engine operational command.
    • Compatible models of Routing Engines (master and backup) in the routing matrix. For this release of Junos OS, the TX Matrix Plus router must contain two model RE-DUO-C2600-16G Routing Engines, and each T1600 router in the routing matrix must contain two model RE-DUO-C1800-8G Routing Engines. To determine the Routing Engine models installed in the Routing Engines in a routing matrix, issue the show chassis hardware operational command with the models option. Hardware component model numbers are listed in the FRU model number column.
    • The same version of Junos OS running on all Routing Engines in the routing matrix.

      Note: The routing matrix does not operate properly unless all master Routing Engines are running the same version of Junos OS.

      Different versions of the Junos OS can use different message formats that might be incompatible, particularly when graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is enabled. For more information about GRES, see “Understanding Graceful Routing Engine Switchover in the Junos OS” and “Configuring Graceful Routing Engine Switchover” in the Junos OS High Availability Configuration Guide.

      Because the procedure for upgrading the Junos OS includes switching of the Routing Engine mastership, we recommend that the same version of Junos OS is running on all Routing Engines in the routing matrix. To determine the versions of Junos OS running on the Routing Engines in a routing matrix, issue the show version invoke-on operational command.

    Best Practice: By default, the Routing Engine in slot 0 (re0) is the master and the one in slot 1 (re1) is the backup. You can modify the default Routing Engine mastership by including the routing-engine slot-number (master | backup | disabled) statement at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level. However, it is considered best practice to make sure that all master Routing Engines are re0 and all backup Routing Engines are re1 (or vice versa). Throughout this task description, the master Routing Engine is re0 and the backup Routing Engine is re1 in all routers in the routing matrix.

    This topic includes the following tasks:

    1. Logging In to the Master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus Router
    2. Disabling Routing Engine Redundancy and GRES on the Routing Matrix
    3. Installing Junos OS on the Backup Routing Engines
    4. Loading Software on the Backup Routing Engines
    5. Switching Routing Engine Mastership to the Backup Routing Engines
    6. Installing Software on the New Default Master Routing Engines
    7. Loading Software on the New Default Master Routing Engines
    8. Optional: Switching Routing Engine Mastership Back to the Default Master Routing Engines
    9. Restoring the Original Configuration
    10. Backing Up the Routing Engines

    Logging In to the Master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus Router

    Log in to the master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router.

    Note: During the upgrade process, in-band management connections to the routing matrix are lost each time you reboot the system (first, to load the new software onto the backup Routing Engines and later, to load the new software onto the master Routing Engines). Therefore, we recommend that you perform the software upgrade procedure out-of-band, over a direct console connection to the TX Matrix Plus router using Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet. Connect the system console device to the asynchronous serial port (labeled CONSOLE) on the Control Board (CB) associated with the master Routing Engine.

    To log in to the master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router and start the Junos OS CLI:

    1. At a management console attached to the master Routing Engine (re0) on the TX Matrix Plus router, log in to the Junos OS CLI using a root administration account:

      login: root
      Password: •••••••••
      
      --- Junos 9.6R1.0 built 2009-07-13 08:52:23 UTC

      Note: From the factory, the root administration user account is not associated with a password.

      Amnesiac (ttyd0)
      
      login: root

      However, you must add a password to the root administration account before you can successfully commit a configuration.

    2. At the shell prompt (%), start the Junos OS CLI:

      % cli
      {master}
      root@mysfc0-re0>

    Disabling Routing Engine Redundancy and GRES on the Routing Matrix

    By default, graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is disabled. To enable GRES on a router, you can include the graceful-switchover statement at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level:

    [edit]chassis {redundancy { # This enables Routing Engine redundancy on the routergraceful-switchover; # This enables GRES on the router}}

    The procedure for upgrading the Junos OS on a routing matrix with a TX Matrix Plus router includes tasks that entail disruption of traffic processing by the affected Routing Engines:

    • Upgrading the software on all the backup Routing Engines.
    • Switching the Routing Engine mastership to the backup Routing Engines.
    • Upgrading the software on all the master Routing Engines.
    • Switching the Routing Engine mastership back to the master Routing Engines.

    If GRES is enabled on any routers in the routing matrix, disable this feature.

    To disable GRES on all routers in the routing matrix:

    1. Enter configuration mode:

      {master}
      root@mysfc0-re0> configure
      Entering configuration mode
      
      

      Note: In the example shown in this step, the form of CLI prompt (beginning with either {master} or {backup} and displaying either -re0 or -re1 in the hostname portion of the prompt) indicates that GRES is enabled on that router.

    2. Display the Routing Engine redundancy stanza:

      {master} 
      [edit] 
      root@mysfc0-re0# show chassis
      ...
          redundancy {
              graceful-switchover;
          }
      ...
      
    3. Disable Routing Engine redundancy in the candidate configuration. If GRES is enabled, it is removed with the redundancy stanza:

      {master}
      [edit]
      root@mysfc0-re0# delete chassis redundancy
      
    4. Verify that the graceful-routing statement has been removed (if it was previously enabled) with the redundancy stanza from the [edit chassis] hierarchy level of the candidate configuration:

      [edit] 
      root@mysfc0# show chassis

      Note: You can also issue the show system switchover all-chassis operational command to display Routing Engine graceful switchover information

    5. Commit the configuration on all Routing Engines in the routing matrix and, if the configuration contains no errors and the commit succeeds, exit CLI configuration mode:

      [edit]
      root@mysfc0# commit synchronize and-quit 
      sfc0-re0: 
      configuration check succeeds
      lcc0-re1: 
      commit complete
      lcc0-re0: 
      commit complete
      lcc2-re1: 
      commit complete
      lcc2-re0: 
      commit complete
      sfc0-re1: 
      commit complete
      sfc0-re0: 
      commit complete
      
      root@mysfc0> 

    Installing Junos OS on the Backup Routing Engines

    Install the new version of Junos OS on the backup Routing Engines (re1) of all the routers in the routing matrix while leaving the currently running version of Junos OS running on the master Routing Engines (re0). This allows the master Routing Engines to continue operations, minimizing the disruption to the routing matrix and your network.

    To install the new version of Junos OS on all backup Routing Engines in the routing matrix:

    1. At a management console attached to the backup Routing Engine (re1) on the TX Matrix Plus router, log in to the Junos OS CLI using a root administration account:

      login: root
      Password: •••••••••
      
      --- Junos 9.6R1.0 built 2009-07-13 08:52:23 UTC
    2. At the shell prompt (%), start the Junos OS CLI:
      % cli
      root@mysfc0_alt_re> 
      
    3. To install the new Junos OS on the backup Routing Engines (re1) in the routing matrix, issue the request system software add operational command at the TX Matrix Plus router, and specify the new Junos OS image file.

      The following example shows sample output for the request system software add command:

      root@mysfc0_alt_re> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-9.6R1.2-domestic-signed.tgz

    Loading Software on the Backup Routing Engines

    To start running the newly installed Junos OS on all the backup Routing Engines in the routing matrix, you must reboot those Routing Engines. The Routing Engines reboot from the boot device on which the software was just installed. Each reboot operation can take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

    Note: This is your last chance to abort the upgrade of the Junos OS on the backup Routing Engines. If you want to abort the software upgrade, do not reboot the backup Routing Engines.

    If you choose to abort the software upgrade, you can remove the new Junos OS package or bundle from the router by issuing the request system software delete operational command and specifying the jinstall command.

    To start running the new Junos OS on the backup Routing Engines:

    1. To reboot all the backup Routing Engines (re1), issue the request system reboot operational command at the backup Routing Engine one theTX Matrix Plus router. At the warning message and prompt, type yes to allow the command to proceed:
      root@mysfc0_alt_ret> request system reboot
      Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes 
      
      rebooting lcc0-re1
      Rebooting lcc2-re1
      Shutdown NOW!

      System going down IMMEDIATELY 
      
      rlogin: connection closed
      root@host>

      All of the backup Routing Engines (re1) in the routing matrix reboot from the boot devices on which the software was just installed, which loads the new Junos OS. Each reboot operation can take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

      When the backup Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router (sfc0-re1) finishes rebooting, the management console attached to the backup Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router displays the login prompt.

    2. Log in to the TX Matrix Plus backup Routing Engine (sfc0-re1) and issue the show version command to verify the version of the software installed:
      root@mysfc0_alt_re> show version

    Switching Routing Engine Mastership to the Backup Routing Engines

    The new Junos OS is now running on all the backup Routing Engines (re1) in the routing matrix. Next, you must install and load the same new software on the master Routing Engines (re0) of the routing matrix.

    While the Junos OS is being upgraded (installed and then loaded), the Routing Engine on which you are performing the software upgrade does not route traffic. Therefore, to minimize disruption to network operation, you need to temporarily switch Routing Engine mastership over to the backup Routing Engines (re1), which are now running the new version of Junos OS.

    To switch Routing Engine mastership over to the backup Routing Engines:

    1. At a management console attached to the master Routing Engine (re0) on the TX Matrix Plus router, log in to the Junos OS CLI using a root administration account:

      login: root
      Password: •••••••••
      
      --- Junos 9.6R1.0 built 2009-07-13 08:52:23 UTC
    2. At the shell prompt (%), start the Junos OS CLI:
      % cli
      root@mysfc0> 
      
    3. To transfer Routing Engine mastership to the backup Routing Engine (re1) for all routers in the routing matrix, issue the request chassis routing-engine master command with the switch and all-chassis options.

      Caution: Switching Routing Engine mastership causes traffic to be disrupted.

      At the warning message and prompt, type yes to allow the command to proceed:

      root@mysfc0> request chassis routing-engine master switch all-chassis
      warning: Traffic will be interrupted while the PFE is re-initialized
      Toggle mastership between routing engines ? [yes,no] (no) yes

      Complete. The other routing engine becomes the master.

    4. To verify that the default backup Routing Engines (installed in slot 1) are now operating the elected master Routing Engines, issue the show chassis routing-engine command at the TX Matrix Plus router:
      root@mysfc0> show chassis routing-engine

    The default backup Routing Engines (re1), which are now running the new version of Junos OS, are temporarily operating as the elected master Routing Engines. This enables you to avoid disruption to network operation while you install and load the new version of Junos OS on the default master Routing Engines (re0) .

    Installing Software on the New Default Master Routing Engines

    To install the new version of Junos OS on the new default master Routing Engines (re0) in the routing matrix, issue the request system software add operational command at the default master Routing Engine (re0 in this procedure) of the TX Matrix Plus router, and specify the new Junos OS image file.

    Note: The default backup Routing Engines (re1), which are now running the new version of Junos OS, are operating as the elected master Routing Engines. This enables you to avoid disruption to network operation while you install and load the new version of Junos OS on the default master Routing Engines (re0).

    The following example of the request system software add command is truncated, but the command output is similar to the output displayed when you installed the new software on the default backup Routing Engines:

    root@mysfc0> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-9.6R1.1-domestic-signed.tgz
    Pushing bundle to lcc0-re0
    Pushing bundle to lcc2-re0
    ...output_truncated...
    

    Loading Software on the New Default Master Routing Engines

    To start running the newly installed Junos OS on all the default master Routing Engines in the routing matrix, you must reboot those Routing Engines. The Routing Engines reboot from the boot device on which the software was just installed. Each reboot operation can take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

    Note: This is your last chance to abort the upgrade of the Junos OS on the default master Routing Engines. If you want to abort the software upgrade, do not reboot the default master Routing Engines. However, aborting the software upgrade procedure at this point this is not recommend, because the default backup routing Engines are already running the new Junos OS.

    If you choose to abort the software upgrade, you can remove the new Junos OS package or bundle from the router by issuing the request system software delete operational command and specifying the jinstall command.

    To start running the new Junos OS on the default master Routing Engines:

    1. To reboot all the default master Routing Engines (re0), issue the request system reboot operational command at the TX Matrix Plus router.

      At the warning message and prompt, type yes to allow the command to proceed:

      root@mysfc0> request system reboot

    Optional: Switching Routing Engine Mastership Back to the Default Master Routing Engines

    The default backup Routing Engines (re1) are still operating as the elected master Routing Engines while the default master Routing Engines (re0) are operating as the elected backup Routing Engines.

    To avoid confusion about which Routing Engine in any router is the master and which is the backup, you should switch the Routing Engine mastership assignment back to the original designations (with the re0 Routing Engines operating as the master Routing Engines and the re1 Routing Engines operating as the backup Routing Engines).

    Note: Switching Routing Engine mastership causes traffic to be disrupted.

    However, if you need to avoid another disruption to traffic while the Routing Engine mastership is switched on all the routers, you can skip this task.

    To switch Routing Engine mastership back to the default master Routing Engine (re0) on all routers in the routing matrix:

    1. Transfer Routing Engine mastership to the backup Routing Engine (re1) for all routers in the routing matrix. To do this, issue the request chassis routing-engine master command and specify the switch and all-chassis options.

      At the warning message and prompt, type yes to allow the command to proceed:

      root@mysfc0> request chassis routing-engine master switch all-chassis
      warning: Traffic will be interrupted while the PFE is re-initialized
      Toggle mastership between routing engines ? [yes,no] (no) yes

    2. Verify that Routing Engine mastership has indeed switched back to the default master Routing Engines (re0) in the routing matrix. To display Routing Engine mastership information, issue the show chassis routing-engine command at the TX Matrix Plus router:
      root@mysfc0> show chassis routing-engine

    Restoring the Original Configuration

    After you have installed the new Junos OS and are satisfied that it is running properly on all Routing Engines, restore the routing matrix to the original configuration (that existed before you deleted it at the beginning of this procedure) and then back up the configuration change.

    To restore the previous configuration and then create a configuration backup, perform the following steps at the master Routing Engine of the TX Matrix Plus router:

    1. Restore the routing matrix configuration that existed before you deleted it at the start of this procedure:
      {master}
      root@mysfc0-re0> configure
      Entering configuration mode
      
      {master}
      root@mysfc0# rollback 1
      load complete
      
    2. Commit the configuration changes on all Routing Engines, which activates the original configuration, and then return to operational mode:
      {master}
      root@mysfc0-re0# commit synchronize and-quit
      sfc0-re0: 
      configuration check succeeds
      lcc0-re1: 
      commit complete
      lcc0-re0: 
      commit complete
      lcc2-re1: 
      commit complete
      lcc2-re0: 
      commit complete
      sfc0-re1: 
      commit complete
      sfc0-re0: 
      commit complete
      
      {master}
      root@mysfc0-re0> 

    Backing Up the Routing Engines

    Back up the currently running and active file system partitions on each Routing Engine to standby partitions that are not running. Specifically, the root file system (/) is backed up to /altroot, and /config is backed up to /altconfig. The root and /config file systems are on each Routing Engine's flash drive, and the /altroot and /altconfig file systems are on Routing Engine's hard drive.

    Caution: After you run the request system snapshot command, you cannot return to the previous version of the software, because the running and backup copies of the software are identical.

    To back up the Routing Engines of the routing matrix:

    1. To back up the master Routing Engines (re0) in the routing matrix, issue the request system snapshot command.

      The following example shows sample output for backing up the master Routing Engines:

      {master} 
      root@mysfc0-re0> request system snapshot 
      sfc0-re0:

    2. To transfer Routing Engine mastership back to the default backup Routing Engines, issue the request chassis routing-engine command with the switch and all-chassis options.

      Caution: Switching Routing Engine mastership causes traffic to be disrupted.

      At the warning message and prompt, type yes to allow the operation to proceed

      {master} 
      root@mysfc0-re0> request chassis routing-engine master switch all-chassis 
      Toggle mastership between routing engines ? [yes,no] (no) yes
