Comware

Hi there,

Apologies, I know this is not a Comware related device. The other discussion topics don't cater for cloudless managed switches that are not Comware.

I'm just trying to update one of our switches here, an 8 port PoE 2530 J9780A. It is on YB.16.11.0019. If I try and upload YB.xx.xx.0020 or .0021 I get the error "Firmware image does not contain a signature".

I read this discussion and I'm not having any luck with uploading the newer firmware. Unfortunately, I deleted the older firmware that was in the primary bank thinking it was part of the problem. So, I don't have that as get my get out of jail card anymore.

Below's what I've tried to get either of the new firmware uploaded:

The current operation of the switch is that ssh is enabled for a particular server on our network

-Enabled ip ssh filetransfer and attempted to do SFTP transfer to flash (primary bank) from a different server (copy sftp flash testsftp@ftps port 22 YB_16_11_0021.swi primary) and I get '000M Request failed'.
-Also tried appending 'allow-no-signatures' to the end of the command but this switch isn't capable of this function
-Attempted SFTP connection to the switch from aforementioned server but get error code 3 (permission denied) when trying to transfer the file either to 'os' or root folder.

The only thing I haven't tried is tftp as I'm remote to where the tftp server is and it's not connected to the domain. Purposefully done like this for security.

Is there any other way I can try and get this updated without physically going to the switch? Or are there other things I should be checking with the above methods?

Thanks for your time in reading this, any help would be appreciated.

Did you try upgrading from web interface?

Best, Gorazd

Also, if you can afford to temporary allow access to Aruba Activate service, you can use commands:

# show activate software-update
# activate software-update check
# activate software-update update <primary|secondary>
