There are limitations in SRE-V regarding tracking real time hardware events such as the failure of a hard drive. The Service Ready Engine Virtualization platform (SRE-V) has VMware ESXI 5.0 built into the platform which provides virtualization, and SRE-V installs onto the Service Ready Engine (SRE) service module . ESXI utilizes a technology called CIM as well as SNMP with some limitations to track hardware events. SRE-V uses a software RAID developed by Promise and the release implemented d ...Read More

Hi, i have one 3945e router with default ios image 15.1 M4,when i connect one sre910,i can see int sm 1/0 on router console,but when i upgrade the router iso imge to 15.1 T2,then i can not see sre910 on router console. run the below comand hw-module oir-stop hw-module oir-start but no luck,then the slot from 1 to 2 but still no luck. can anybody please help me here. Thanks kshitij

Hi Kshitij,
 
The issue is most likely the 15.1.T2 IOS image you moved to is too early of a release.  Our guide recommends using IOS release 15.1(4)M or later.  If you prefer to use a 'T' release please try a later version.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,
Thanks for reply.
but we want to test cme version 8.0 which is supported on this iso image only.
is there any workaround to fix this issue.
Thanks
kshitij

Hi Kshitij,
Let me check with the CME team and I'll get back to you as soon I get a response.  Just to confirm, with the T2 image you are no longer seeing the SM interface correct?  I assume the hardware can still be seen? Please type 'show run' and 'show diag | inc FRU' and send me the data for each.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Kshitij,
I found a link to a webpage that describes the CME releases and its corresponding IOS versions.  It has a footnote that says to get the latest release of the IOS rebuild, so you should be able to use a later IOS image.  Please also note that CME is currently on release 9.1, so I'm sure they'd recommend using a later release of CME as well.

Thanks,

Hi Kshitij,
Our CME Product Manager has told me that CME can only run on IOS.  It is not currently supported on the SRE service module.  Please let us know your use case for wanting to run CME on SRE.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Kshitij,
Thanks for the data.  I can see that the SRE service module is not being recognized by the earlier IOS versions that you would like to use.  Our documentation specifies that you need to use IOS release 15.1(4)M at minimum.  I see from the CME chart that I provided to you that this IOS release contains CME 8.6 .   I don't have specifications for the T train; however I checked the SRE configuration guide at http://www.cisco.com/go/sre , and it appears that you could use IOS version 15.1(3)T; however this release contains CME version 8.5 .  In either case I don't think CME 8.0 is a viable candidate for use on the router with the SRE service module because a later IOS version is required for the SRE.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Kshitij,
You should be able to get the router chassis and hardware via the command: 'show diag | inc FRU'.
It sounds like you need to upgrade the ROMMON software on the router, so that the SRE hardware is recognized.  You can download the ROMMON software from http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?a=a&i=rpm .  You'll need to go through the selections to locate it such as what I've listed below. After downloading the IOS ROMMON software you can upgrade the router via command: "upgrade rom-monitor file ftp://<ip>/file"
1.  Click 'Cisco IOS and NX-OS software'
2. Click 'Cisco IOS'
3. Click '<a>Cisco IOS Software Release 15M&T'</a>
4. Click '<a>Cisco IOS 15.1M&T'</a>
5. Click 'Routers'
6. Click 'Branch Routers'
7. Click 'Cisco 3900 Series Integrated Routers'
8. Click 'Cisco 3945E Integrated Services Router'
9. For Software Type click 'IOS ROMMON Software'
 
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,
below is the O/P from router
yourname#show diag | inc FRU
        Product (FRU) Number     : CISCO3945-CHASSIS
        Product (FRU) Number     : C3900-SPE250/K9
        Product (FRU) Number     : PWR-3900-AC
        Product (FRU) Number     : SM-SRE-910-K9


it is showing 3945 router,but in show ver it shows 354e iso image.
can you please here,is it 3945 or 3945e router.
 
Thanks
kshitij

Hi Kshitij,

Unfortunately I don't have a 3945e ISR in my lab; however an easy way to identify whether you have a 3945e or a 3945 ISR is by the number of GE Interfaces.  The 3945e has 4 while the 3945 has 3.  I've attached a link to a document that does a side-by-side comparison on page 2 of the different ISR routers including the 3945e/3945.

Thanks,

Hi Kshitij,
PID "C3900-SPE250/K9" means that you have a 3945e router. 3925, 3945, 3925e, 3945e share the same chassis and that's why you see the "CISCO3945-CHASSIS" in the output.
if you have a 3945 you should see the PID as C3900-SPE150/K9.
3925 - C3900-SPE100/K9
3925e - C3900-SPE200/K9
thanks
Manuka

Thanks Manuka and Brett for helping me here.
I got it I have 3945e.

I have upgraded the router rommon 15.1 (1r)T5 from 15.1 (1r) T4 which was default.
But still I am not able to install sre-v on sre 900,910.
Kindly see the attached logs.

Thanks
