Upgrading and Managing Satellite nV Software
Satellite software images are bundled inside a PIE called asr9k-9000v-nV-p.pie within the Cisco 
ASR9000 Series package. The Cisco IOS XR software production SMU tool can be used to generate 
patches for the satellite image in the field to deliver bug fixes or minor enhancements without requiring 
a formal software upgrade.
This section provides the commands to manage the satellite nV Software.
Prerequisites
You must have installed the satellite installation procedure using the Plug-and-Play satellite installation 
procedure. For more information, see Plug and Play Satellite nV Switch Turn up: (Rack, Plug, and Go 
installation).
Installing a Satellite
To download and activate the software image on the satellite, use the install nv satellite <satellite ID / 
all> transfer/activate commands. The transfer command downloads the image to the satellite. When 
the activate command is followed by the transfer command, the software is activated on the satellite.
Example
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:sat-host#install nv satellite 100 transfer 
Install operation initiated successfully.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:sat-host#RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:May  3 20:12:46.732 : icpe_gco[1146]: 
%PKT_INFRA-ICPE_GCO-6-TRANSFER_DONE : Image transfer completed on Satellite 100 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:sat-host#install nv satellite 100 activate 
Install operation initiated successfully.
LC/0/2/CPU0:May  3 20:13:50.363 : ifmgr[201]: %PKT_INFRA-LINK-3-UPDOWN : Interface 
GigabitEthernet100/0/0/28, changed state to Down 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:May  3 20:13:50.811 : invmgr[254]: %PLATFORM-INV-6-OIROUT : OIR: Node 100 
removed 
Note If the activate command is run directly, then the software image is transferred to the satellite and also 
activated.
Example
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:sat-host#install nv satellite 101 activate 
Install operation initiated successfully.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:sat-host#RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:May  3 20:06:33.276 : icpe_gco[1146]: 
%PKT_INFRA-ICPE_GCO-6-TRANSFER_DONE : Image transfer completed on Satellite 101 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:May  3 20:06:33.449 : icpe_gco[1146]: %PKT_INFRA-ICPE_GCO-6-INSTALL_DONE : 
Image install completed on Satellite 101 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:May  3 20:06:33.510 : invmgr[254]: %PLATFORM-INV-6-OIROUT : OIR: Node 101
