Migrating from RP1 to RP2 Card
• The router must be running Cisco IOS XR software release 5.3.2 or later version.
• The router must have two RP1 cards (active and standby) up and running.
• Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Card (first generation) must be removed from the chassis as they are
incompatible with RP2.
• Cisco ASR 9000 High Density 100GE Ethernet line cards must be power down or temporarily removed
before starting the migration procedure. Use the hw-module power disable location node-id command
in admin-config mode to power down the LC.
Procedure
Step 1
Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RP0 and RP1 are in Ready State.

Redundancy information for node 0/RP1/CPU0:
==========================================
Node 0/RP1/CPU0 is in ACTIVE role
Node Redundancy Partner (0/RP0/CPU0) is in STANDBY role
Standby node in 0/RP0/CPU0 is ready
Standby node in 0/RP0/CPU0 is NSR-ready
Node 0/RP1/CPU0 is in process group PRIMARY role
Process Redundancy Partner (0/RP0/CPU0) is in BACKUP role
Backup node in 0/RP0/CPU0 is ready
Backup node in 0/RP0/CPU0 is NSR-ready

Active node reload "Cause: Initiating switch-over."
Standby node reload "Cause: Initiating switch-over."
Step 2
Remove the standby RP1 card and insert RP2. Follow the procedure explained in the topic
Replacing Cards from the Chassis, on page
Step 3
Connect to RP2 console port and type CTRL+C to break into ROMMON.
Step 4
From the ROMMON prompt of RP2, set ROMMON variable to activate 1GE mode for peer RP communication:
