Comware

I am updating the firmware for our HPE 5510 L3 switch but as soon as I apply, it gives error as below. Kindly advise as to how to resolve 

I am updating the firmware for our HPE 5510 L3 switch but as soon as I apply, it gives error as below. Kindly advise as to how to resolve 

For comware, I have to delete old firmware before loading new. Old files are not deleted automatically. I haven't had to delete log files or current bin files. 

One thing that isn't well advertised is that if you delete a file by default it goes in the .trash folder. Using the /unreserved parameter on the cli avoids that. 

So deleting all IPE files, non current bin files and all of the trash folder has always resolved this issue.

Yep, I recall just one old thread (above many others threads) about freeing space on Comware flash, it was (is, still) on the (now defunct) HPE Community - Networking Forum, look, as example, at this one.

I have gone through the same but in my switch it does not support dir /all due to this I am not able to see all the files  so I can identify unwanted files!

Yes I could see the below details which is not sufficient to delete unwanted files, I hope so, please advise

Hi, you are running the same version as one of my switches and it is also a 5510.  I can run the following commands:

• dir /all-filesystems
• dir
• dir .trash

But likely just dir will be enough to see if you have unused files. Once you have identified which files are to be deleted use a command like this:

• delete /unreserved flash:/5510HI-CMW710-R3506P11.ipe

As Ian wrote. Do not delete current version of .bin files like 5510hi-cmw710-boot-r3506p02.bin and 5510hi-cmw710-system-r3506p02.binWhat are current main and backup boot files you can check with display boot command.

And do not forget to delete files on all members of the stack. 

display irf 

will show you stack members if any.

You need to delete all .ipe files and .bin files for version r1122p02.

Best, Gorazd

Kindly find the details and advise as to which files can I delete. Trash is not available !

Hi, you are running the same version as one of my switches and it is also a 5510.  I can run the following commands:

• dir /all-filesystems
• dir
• dir .trash

But likely just dir will be enough to see if you have unused files. Once you have identified which files are to be deleted use a command like this:

• delete /unreserved flash:/5510HI-CMW710-R3506P11.ipe

I have gone through the same but in my switch it does not support dir /all due to this I am not able to see all the files  so I can identify unwanted files!

Yes I could see the below details which is not sufficient to delete unwanted files, I hope so, please advise 

Yep, I recall just one old thread (above many others threads) about freeing space on Comware flash, it was (is, still) on the (now defunct) HPE Community - Networking Forum, look, as example, at this one.

For comware, I have to delete old firmware before loading new. Old files are not deleted automatically. I haven't had to delete log files or current bin files. 

One thing that isn't well advertised is that if you delete a file by default it goes in the .trash folder. Using the /unreserved parameter on the cli avoids that. 

So deleting all IPE files, non current bin files and all of the trash folder has always resolved this issue. 

I am updating the firmware for our HPE 5510 L3 switch but as soon as I apply, it gives error as below. Kindly advise as to how to resolve 

You have two .ipe files on your flash as per your snapshot. Delete them.

Best, Gorazd

I am updating the firmware for our HPE 5510 L3 switch but as soon as I apply, it gives error as below. Kindly advise as to how to resolve

Also anything needs to be done such as
