Upgrading ACI hardware simulator to 1.2

[Claudia de Luna]

Hi,

I have an APIC-SIM-S APIC hardware simulator which I am trying to upgrade to 1.2.

I started with it running 1.1(4l).  I've tried going to the first 1.2. I've tried several permutations.  Its currently on 1.1(4m) but when I try to move to anything) 1.2+  it looks like it loads and then just hangs after the reboot

Booting Insieme Fabric Controller 1.2.1m on /rfs1 in 0 secconds.....

It never comes back from that. Ive tried warm booting and cold booting as well.

The upgrades are via the CIMC and vKVM mounted Virtual image.

C220M3.2.0.3.0 (Build Date: 08/01/2014)

Firmware 2.0(3d)

UCS VIC 1225

Am I missing something key to  moving from 1.1 to 1.2?

Thanks!

Claudia

There are only two supported CIMC versions for APIC: 2.0(3i) and 1.5(4).

Please use the HUU for CIMC and update "ALL" drivers and try again.

Thanks

Just a quick follow up...Upgraded CIMC and all drivers to 2.0(3i) and still had the same behavior.  So upgraded to 2.0(1p) and that worked.  None of the 1.1(4m), 1.2x, or 1.3x simulator upgrades worked even with the upgraded firmware, but the latest 2.0 did.  Not sure what to make of that....
