Prerequisites #
I have several posts regarding CISCO 8000 software installation shown below:
The most important is to understand how to use a local repository or remote repository.
This article also applies to other products using XR7, such as some NCS540.
SMU install (Use local repository) #
Copy all SMU file to the local folder, in this case, i create a folder named “repo” under harddisk:
[node0_RP0_CPU0:/harddisk:/repo]$ls
8000-7.3.15.CSCvw58830.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy35867.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx48017.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy42027.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx50864.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy43997.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx68887.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy52710.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx76463.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy53516.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx84404.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy55726.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx99992.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy61939.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy06576.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy66996.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy12145.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy67283.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy14896.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy72415.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy16526.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy73299.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy16725.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvy77182.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy17864.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvz04661.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy24941.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvz25325.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy26732.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvz45349.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy33251.tar 8000-7.3.15.CSCvz67583.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy33657.tar
then try unzip all the smu file buy use two simple shell script:
[node0_RP0_CPU0:/harddisk:/repo]$for tar in *.tar; do tar -xvf $tar; done
8000-7.3.15.CSCvw58830.txt

We have two command to check the SMU in the local repository:

We have there way to install the smu we want:
| install package add cisco-CSCab12345 | install a special SMU |
| install package upgrade xr-core | install cups of smu to fix special component |
| install package upgrade | install all the smu under your repository |
Here is an example to install all the smu under repository:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:MXC.TAC.L.08-8201-01#install package upgrade
