FXOS API install firmware

rubenapi — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:32:35 GMT

I'm trying to install a firmware using the FXOS API and Anisble.

I have successfully upgraded the FXOS version from 2.10(1.234) to 2.12(1.29) using this method. Now I want to install the SSD-patch affecting our device, but I get an error message:
"Internal error, could not determine if platform software package 1.0.19 supports container application instances"

I'm using a POST request against /api/sys/firmware/install-platform-fw with the following body:

{ "firmwarePlatformPack": [ { "dn": "sys/firmware/install-platform-fw", "forceDeploy": "no" "platformBundleVersion": "1.0.19"} ] }

This bundle works:
Firmware Package fxos-k9.2.12.1.29.SPA:
Version: 2.12(1.29)
Type: Platform Bundle
State: Active
Time Stamp: 2023-08-11T07:14:37.000

This bundle does not work:
Firmware Package fxos-k9-fpr4k-firmware.1.0.19.SPA:
Version: 1.0.19
Type: Firmware Fpr4k Bundle
State: Active
Time Stamp: 2023-08-23T07:04:55.000

Any suggestion how i can automaticly start the installation of the firmware "fxos-k9-fpr4k-firmware.1.0.19.SPA" ?
