[Solved] ArubaCX-OS Firmware updates

[MatthiasM]

Hi,

i have a issue updating firmware on Aruba CX6100 with Unimus

first of all i'd like to copy primary flash to secondary (save existing..)
and that fails

i also increased the timeout to 20 and enabled debuglogging.

my Mass Config Push look like

Code: Select all

wr mem
conf t
copy primary secondary
$(send 0x79)$(enter yes)
show image

my debuglog looks like

Code: Select all

sw-HG-3StVR02# 
sw-HG-3StVR02# configure terminal
sw-HG-3StVR02(config)# wr mem

Hi,

Hi. From a first look, this looks like the timeout is still too low for the device to write the new firmware. If you run this manually (using Putty, etc.), how long does the device take to write the firmware after sending "y" to the "Continue (y/n)? y" prompt?

how long does the device take to write the firmware after sending "y" to the "Continue (y/n)? y" prompt?

hi, thanks for the response.

i took the time while doing this "by hand". it was arround 35 secs till complete.

this was the output

Code: Select all

sw-test# copy primary secondary
The secondary image will be deleted.

Continue (y/n)? y

In that case, I would recommend setting the timeout to 60000 (using the Override timeouts in Advanced settings of your Push Preset). That should fix the issues and the pushes should complete without errors
