Re: Upgrade 6509 from CATOs to IOS

Bear in mind you will probably have to upgrade the memoey.

I converted 2 x 6509's last year and I needed to buy larger DRAM for
the supervisor modules(128 -> 256MB), larger DRAM for the MSFC's (64
-> 128MB) and bigger ATA cards (24 -> 64MB).

Cisco prices are extremely high, we ended up purchasing 2nd hand
(refurbished) items as they were 1/3 of the price.

All:

I have a Cisco 6509 running CatOS. I would like upgrade to the newest
IOS... Below is my configuration. Do I need to change the Supervisor
module and the MSFC? Any help is appreciated.
