Wireless Access

Hi, Im have been trying to upgrade my 3400 wireless controller and followed the necessary documentation to upgrade the AOS from my PC.

cpboot>setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
cpboot>setenv netmask x.x.x.x
cpboot>setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x
cpboot>setenv serverip x.x.x.x      (note: if you are running the tftp program on the same PC then the gatewayip and serverip should be same)

How do i know which partition is present, i have tried 0, 1, 0:0, 0:1 . Is there a command to check the flash or if the disk are present.

Any Workarounds that i can try ???

Please follow this article: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/3600-controller-out-of-space-when-boot-up/td-p/82024

That procedure completely wipes/reformat your flash; where (I don't have a 3400 to test) you might need to do a "format 0:2" on the 3400 if the format 0 does not work.

If the system is still under support, I would advise to contact Aruba TAC instead of trying yourself.

Unfortunatly it was a ebay purchase so getting a Aruba support is a issue,on entering

cpboot> format 0:2
Format will erase everything on the internal flash's partition 2.
Device 0 not present

it dosent seem to do much, any other options i can try ?

It would seem the bootflash drive is physically missing in my device after opening it up, can some recommend the compatiable size, brand and model for my 3400 Controller.

Thanks.

Can you post a picture of the slot where the memory is missing?

Assuming the slot in middle is missing the storage.

Looks like a 512mb compact flash:
