Wireless Access

I tftp'ed a patch AOS ver to the controller (3400).  The AOS C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216 shows up in flash via the "dir" command:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40384000 Dec 7 13:32 C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17078 Dec 8 21:08 default.cfg

But not on either partition 0 or 1

In addition the show storage command does not reveal hda1 or 2.

So, how do I get the controller to boot  C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216?

Thanks,

Seems it didnt upload correctly...

Did you try uploading it again to the partition 0/0?

It should appear on show image verion otherwise it wont boot from that firmware you uploading...

It has happened to me that i try to upload the image but then it seems that it didnt upload so i try again and it works...

When that happened never checked the dirs... so i dont know if its the same problem...

But as long as you got your backups and also you dont touch the partition 0:1 you should be fine to try it again on the partition 0:0

You need to upload it using Maintenence> Image Management> , NOT Copy Files...    "Copy files" copies it like a regular file, NOT a system image.

Maybe he FTP or TFTP the file using the image managment to upgarde it... i have done it with no issue to upgrade.

Also it has happened to me but really really unusual that i try to upload it for example uploading the file via browsing  and i get the same situation of him that i dont see the image on the show image but i have not verified if its on the dir.... so i dont know if its the same case...

And when that happens i just try again and well it works.

Though never happened when upgrading it with the TFTP.

Cheers

Carlos

If you use Image Management to upgrade, it NEVER shows up when you type "DIR"

Well then i have not said anything :)

Thanks everyone.  It seems that I should use the GUI?  Ok, I'll give it a whirl. 

Rafael

Or... if you use the commandline, the format is:

copy tftp: <ip address> <filename> system: partion 1 or 2

well, when i tftp'd it originally I did use the copy tftp:addr filename system:partition 1

but it ended up in flash....

rafael

Its not letting me do the following via cli:

(SF-Aruba-Master) #copy tftp: 192.168.151.20 C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216 system: partition 0:0

When I ask it what is wants to use it says:

but I think that is what i already tried that ended up with the image in flash...

just started a tftp via the GUI and it still shows up in flash!

and shouldn't I see my two partitions in sh storage?  I don't.  check it out

did you check the show image version to see if you still dont see it?

Yup,

I've now tried it via the GUI and CLI but it just shows up in flash.  Is my file system ganked?

You should open a support case... this should not happen... i have done it thousand of times and never had that kind of issue...

What model is your Aruba wireless controller?

3400 6.1.3.1

do show memory

and paste the output

Thanks

(SF-Aruba-Master) #show memory

Memory (Kb): total: 760772, used: 307540, free: 453232

Well you have enoguh free ram and also free space on the flash....

have you tried using another TFPT  i use  tftpd32, and i dont have that issue... or try a normal FTP. but use somethign else besides that one you using.

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

I remenber a read a while ago someone having this problem that he could not upgrade... he switched his TFTP to a FTP to upload the file and worke dfor him

I used tftp32 yesterday on a pc.  right now i am on a mac.  i tried ftp from the mac but could get the controller to gain access... same with scp.

rafael

Open a support case this should not happen and Collin is right

This does not appear on the flash dir...

I already checked on 5 Wireless controller i got Acess from many i do

a 620 a 650, a two 3200 and one 3400 and none of them show that kind of thing on the dir...

Yea, I'll have to wait to hear back from TAC as I just start a successful FTP and guess what:

(SF-Aruba-Master) #dir

-rw-r--r-- 1 root nogroup 14965655 Dec 9 11:54 C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216

Its back in flash!!!

Thanks for your help.

rafael

It would be really nice if you could post how you solved it at the end when the TAC reponse you with a solution

Thanks

Carlos

The file you copied before is showing up in the flash.  If you "delete file: <filename>" that will remove it.

You should try to use the copy ftp: <ftp ip address>  instead of tftp because some tftp servers have a fixed limit that is exceeded by current filesizes.  "show image version" will tell you if you upgraded or not.  You can use the GUI to upload of course, but you get better feedback on the commandline.

Hi,

Yea, I did delete the file as well as tried FTP with the same results.

Thanks,

Rafael

Here is the FTP syntax:

copy ftp: 192.168.1.3 ftusername C_ArubaOS_MMC_6.1.3.5_36216 system: partition 1

 It should either tell you bad username or password, or timeout, because your FTP is not running, or you have a firewall.  It should not end up in flash where you can type "DIR" to see it.

copy tftp: <tftphost> <image filename> system: partition <0|1>

The command is that one

so in the end of the line you put 0 or 1

in this case you put it on partition which is NOT The default one which is partition 0 i think

Then you check  with show image version
