Upgrading APIC from ver 2.3 to 3.1

Hi fellow members, I am trying to upgrade the Cisco APIC from ver 2.3.1e to 3.1.2m. I have downloaded the iso file and the related n9000 aci-switch software , but when i try to upload the .iso file to the APIC GUI under firmware repository, it shows me that the upload completed 100%, but when I refresh the GUI, it`s not present there. I was able to upload the n9000 aci-switch software successfully and that shows up in the repository. 

 

From the CLI-

cd /firmware/fwrepos/fwrepo

ls

aci-catalog-dk9.2.3.1e.bin  aci-n9000-dk9.13.1.2m.bin  boot  md5sum

 

please advise anyone?

Can you ssh to APIC and provide the output of the command below:

df -h

 

Another option to upload the file is via SCP, you can use the winSCP utility to do this.

 

For example

 


a) Download and install WinSCP
https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

b) Open WinSCP, in option File Protocol select SCP, also you can select SFTP,  Hostname: <APIC IP> and User name and Password.

c) Click Login.

d) In the left panel search for the image to upload and in the right panel move into /home/admin

e) Drag image from left panel to right panel to copy into /home/admin.

  • Place the image into the Firmware Repository.

    a) Open a SSH session to APIC.

    b) go to bash shell by typing bash


    c)
    cd /home/admin
    d) Type command firmware add <version-no>.iso.

     
    e) Check the currently firmware uploaded by running firmware list.

    Example:

    admin@apic3:~> firmware list
    Name                 : aci-catalog-dk9.1.2.3c.bin
    Type                 : catalog
    Version              : 1.2(3c)
    Size(Bytes)          : 30871
    Checksum             : 6daca6eae985e3e857b9f7da10145c22
    Release-Date         : 2016-04-07T05:58:30.000+00:00
    Download-Date        : 2016-05-30T16:19:46.964+00:00
