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
