Network Management

I'm currently testing the HPE IMC V7.3_E0506 on windows server. 

I was able to discovery some devices and backup config but for the 5130 series switches I can't update the software image. 

Was able to update an older 5120. 

I got the error:
Upload software to device from iMC Server.
The device software in the iMC does not exist.
Check whether the software of the device exists in the iMC installation directory /server/data/image. If not, back up the software to the iMC.

The software image is in that folder, also I tried with TFTP (default) SCP and SFTP as global file transfor mode and set individual for the device.

all login settings for that device are correct, so snmp read/write, telnet and ssh. Also tried another 5130 switch but get the same error. 
Tried to find something in the logs but can't find anything.

Any thought's?

Thanks

HPE 5120 is Comware 5 operating system based, HPE 5130 is Comware 7 operating system based...I suspect you need at least HPE IMC 7.3 E0506P07 (That's because Patch 7 - P07 - of E0506 added the "Software and patch upgrade for H3C Comware 7 devices." feature)...or, always better, to avoid other issues plan to go to latest HPE IMC 7.3 E0605P06 if you can e(mandatory update procedure: HPE IMC 7.3 E0506 --> E0605 --> E0605P06).

Thanks for the hint, but as I'm using a trial and the build in Software update seem's to don't work. Can't get any updates.

If I try to download it on the HP page I still got the E0506. 

Any ideas how I got a test version, I would like to test this feature first as we do have a few's of the HPE 5130 switches.

Thanks

ok I think I found it on the support page:

iMC PLAT v7.3 (E0605P06) - Windows

I will download it today and try the update then.

ok so I did the update to E0605P06 but still the same error.

tried with tftp, scp etc also deleted and re-uploaded the bin file. 

Is there a logfile to see what IMC is trying to do?

edit: found the logs... set it to debug but didn't see much more infos why it is still failing. 
=> see attachment

ok seems to work now. I was now able to download the software image directly in IMC (that didn't worked in the old version) and now I have a zip file in the image folder on the server...? 

But anyway I was now able to bush the bin file to the HPE 5130 switches. So do a reboot of the switches by scheduler this evening hope this works.

I'm pretty much confident it will work as you expect...
