"Unknown image type" error when executing ap image-preload

  • 1.  "Unknown image type" error when executing ap image-preload

    Posted Sep 19, 2015 10:13 PM

    About to upgrade from 6.3.1.18 to 6.4.2.12. Executed AP image-preload and received an error stating that there is an unknown image type. Are there restrictions doing image-preload going from one major version (6.3) to another (6.4), or does anyone have insight into this?

    The workflow for the ap-image upgrade should be:

     

    - Upload Image but do not reboot (the default boot image will be set to what you just uploaded)

    - Execute the image upgrade command

     

    It looks like the default boot image is the previous code.    Try setting the boot partition to the 6.4 partition and try again, if you can.

    Derp. I think I discovered that when I tested this out a couple months ago but forgot. Thanks for the reminder, C!
