Synchronize All Satellites Without Performing an Activation
To synchronize all satellites together without activation:
Step 1 Choose Images > Activate > IOS-XR and the activation method (by Devices).
Step 2 Choose the Cisco ASR 9000 device family and the Sync Satellites option from the Select Operations
drop-down menu in the table header.
Prime Network displays all managed Cisco ASR 9000 series devices having satellites. (It also displays
the packages that are currently running on the devices.)
Step 3 Click Next to schedule the synchronization for all the satellites together. You cannot select a particular
satellite for synchronization. The Select Operation function is not applicable for the Sync Satellites
option.
Step 4 In the Schedule Activation page, provide the scheduling information for synchronization of all satellites.
Note The time you specify here to schedule the synchronization job is the server time.
Step 5 Check the Sync Satellite(s) check box and click Finished. The Sync Satellite(s) check box is available
only for Cisco ASR 9000 devices having satellites.

Otherwise, synchronization will not happen even if this check box is selected.
Step 5 Click Finished to schedule the activation and/or synchronization.
Commit Cisco IOS XR Packages Across Device Reloads
Committing a Cisco IOS XR package makes the device package configurations persist across device
reloads. The commit operation also creates a rollback point on the device. See Roll Back Cisco IOS XR
Packages, page 4-42, for more information on rollback points.
