    Long story short, both partitions on this 7210 are formatted and have no OS. I have a full flash backup, and I'm trying to load the old software version from CPBOOT via TFTP.

     

    This keeps failing, and I'm not sure why. 

     

    I'm using this command to load the software:

     

    cpboot> upgrade 0:0 ArubaOS_72xx_6.4.2.12_51328

     

    When the software finishes uploading, I get this error:

     

    Image is signed; verifying checksum...
    failed!

     

    When I run a checksum it matches the checksum given by the HPE website. I'm doing something wrong here I'm sure, but I don't know what. Any ideas?

    Do you know how the controller was formatted? Reason for asking is that in recent versions you can do a full wipe before decommissioning the controller, which is non-recoverable by design. There is a warning shown during that process that you cannot recover the controller after that point.
