IOS for 6500: modular or not?

Hi all,
at customer's site, we're trying to define what will be the next IOS release to be accepted and installed on all Catalyst 6500.
Starting from HW installed and features desired, we are focusing on IOS 12.2SXH6, but a last choice remains: modular IOS or not?
The upgrade process is here quite long and not frequent (last upgrade was at least 5 years ago!) so the choice to switch to modular, if not taken now, should be postponed of years.
Does anyone of you know if some reasons exist not to adopt it? Is it stable and has it been well exposed?
Thanks a lot

To be or not to be?  That is the question.
Modular IOS, when unvieled, was a very good idea.  Instead of downloading the full IOS, you just download a small patch and it should work.  The only problem is that there was very little support from Cisco itself.  As to the question of stability, the modular IOS is cut from the same fabric so it will be similar.

  • MPLS PE IOS for 6500?

    I apologize as this is kind of a "Out There" request. I'm setting up my first "service provider" type MPLS network consisting of several 6500s and ASRs. I've been looking around for a while now for a good IOS to load on the 6500s that will support a PE role (with 20-25 CEs on each initially and scale from there).
    As I am a bit new to this design selection - does anyone have a recommendation of a good IOS to look at (Sup 720s w/ MSFC 3s)? It would be great if the IOS showed support for FWSMs as there are a few in the mix that need to be used.
    Any help would be appreciated. My mind spins a little when looking at several "similar" IOS versions that appear to have differing features.
    Jim

    Hello GP,
    I agree we use
    s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF14.bin
    with PE role and FWSM blade supported
    Hope to help

  • IOS Modularity for 6500

    Folks,
    We have 2 6500's working in failover mode at the core. They are running CATOS at the present time.
    My question is can i implement IOS modularity on them at the present time.
    I have SUP 720's.
    Would i have to move to Native for IOS modularity or cisco will be bringing supoort for CATOS.
    Also, has some tested IOS Modularity are there any bugs i need to be aware off, should i wait.
    I am surely grade this post. I would appreciate if someone could give me their honest opinion.
    Thanks

    IOS modularity is not supported in Hybrid(CAT OS). You need to run Native IOS. The following pages should help

    I have not done any testing myself, so cannot speak for bugs. If there are any, let us know and we will get them addressed.

    You can not update directly from your iPod Touch until iOS 5 or later.
    What generation iPod Touch do you have?
    Here are the most current iOS for each generation of iPod Touch:
    1st Gen iPod Touch - iOS 3.1.3
    2nd Gen iPod Touch - iOS 4.2.1
    3rd Gen iPod Touch - iOS 5.1.1
    4th & 5th Gen iPod Touch - iOS 6.1.3
    If you have a iOS 5 supported iPod Touch then you can connect the iPod to iTunes to update:

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • My iPhone 3GS (working on iOS 6.1.3) has not backed up to iCloud for the past 10 weeks.

    My iPhone 3GS (working on iOS 6.1.3) has not backed up to iCloud for the past 10 weeks. And whenever I try Backing up to iTunes or to iCloud via either a pc or a Mac, I get the message: "Itunes could not backup the iPhone because an error occured". I tried turning off all apps for backup, but that did not help. I tried deleting all the photos and that did not help either. I tried the backup trobelshooting and I have tried using different computers. I'm completely stomped.

    Hi ShakedG,
    I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to, but I just wanted to make sure that you had seen the following article:

  • I download the recent ios for iphone 4 and connected to my pc and it wont connect to itunes. What is the lastest version of itunes that DOES NOT support ios 7?

    i download the recent ios for iphone 4. i connected iphone 4 to my pc and it wont connect to itunes. What is the lastest version of itunes that DOES NOT support the lastest version of ios?

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

  • Region Monitoring iOS 7 : didEnterRegion method is not calling when app is killed by user or by OS in iOS 7 only. It is working fine when it is in background. and the same code is working fine with iOS 6 for both app in suspended mode and background mode.

    Region Monitoring iOS 7 : didEnterRegion method is not calling when app is killed by user or by OS in iOS 7 only. It is working fine when it is in background. and the same code is working fine with iOS 6 for both app in suspended mode and background mode. What changes I have to made to work great in iOS 7 also.

    I rewrote code for debugging purpose and tried to catch error using GetLastError();  method,
    but it only printed 0. Below is code snippet; I think Create() throw an exception
    and code goes to catch block. 
    LONG ConnectTS(CString strIP, UINT n_Port)
    try{
              ErrorLog(0,0,"ConnectTS is calling Create [is going to call]","");
              if(!Create())
    // Exception Line
    n_Err = GetLastError();
    return NET_INIT;
    catch(...)
                       DWORD errorCode = GetLastError();
                       CString errorMessage
                       errorMessage.Format("%lu",errorCode);
                       ErrorLog (0, 0, "Image
    System", (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)errorMessage);
                       return  IS_ERR_WINDOWS;
    Output: -

  • My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
    Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
    Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
    Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

  • HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

    My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
