Installing a Satellite
In the case of simple ring topology, the image must be transferred to all the satellites using install nv
Note
satellite transfer <range of satellites> command followed by install nv satellite activate <range of
satellites> command. You cannot use only the install nv satellite activate command in the case of simple
ring topology.

Note
For the satellite image upgrade to work, you must ensure that the management-plane CLI is not configured
on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router . If it is configured, then you need to add this exception for each of
the 10GigE interfaces, which are the satellite ICLs.
Ensure that the tftp homedir, tftp vrf default ipv4 server homedir disk0 is not configured on the host when
using manual IP default configuration, because this may cause the image transfer to fail.
You can include the exception using this CLI:
control-plane
management-plane
inband
!
!
interface TenGigE0/0/0/5
allow TFTP
If you do not include this exception, then the image download and upgrade fails.
