Step 5
Verify Mgmt access to the router (see caveats section)
Step 6
While upgrading from 3.x.x images to 4.x.x images upgrade the file system of flash disks (boot device
which is typically disk0) to FAT32 file system for 2 GB and 4 GB flash disks. The procedure to upgrade
the file system of flash disks is different for 2GB and 4 GB Flash disks.
Verifying that the System Meets RP Memory Requirements
Due to image size increase on x86 based PX images you will need to have at least 1 GB of free memory
on each of the Route Processor (RP) modules.
Execute the following command to verify the free memory on the RP.
