Run the reload command from XR mode to reload the XR VM. The reload happens at VM (admin/XR), hardware module or at entire chassis level. Run the hw-module location reload command from admin mode to reload a specific module.Ģ VMs on each of the RSP/RP/LC CPU. Run the reload location all command from admin Exec prompt to reload the entire chassis. Run the reload command from admin mode to reload the the specified hardware module. Run the reload command from XR mode to reload the corresponding RSP/RP node. The reload happens at hardware module (each RSP/RP/LC) or at entire chassis level. The file system is checked automatically during the bootup process, eliminating the need to run the command manually. Run the fsck command to checkthe status of the file system.

These instances act as separate logical routers (secure domain routers (SDRs)).įor more information, see the Data Sheet. The primary purpose of Calvados is to enable multi-tenancy on the same routerīy spawning multiple IOS XR instances.
Helps handle the lifecycle of the XR VM/LXC. The User LXC/Docker containers are spawned inside XR VM unlike LXC-based platforms where the user containers are spawned on the Host kernel.Īdmin VM: Admin VM/LXC, called Calvados, is the first instance that comes up once the Host layer is up. Libvirt daemon and the docker daemon inside the XR VM. The XR VM brings its own kernel and runs the (protocol stacks such as BGP, ISIS, OSPF, internal database, APIs, and so on). This VM/LXC contains the IOS XR control plane processes XR VM: The IOS XR control plane processes run within an isolated VM/LXC. It also runs the container/VM daemons like libvirt and docker to spawn the XR and Calvados instances. Host (Hypervisor): The host is the underlying 64-bit operating system that acts as the hypervisor. The architecture includes the following common components:
