Upgrading AppNav Controller to 6.1.1

[Charlie Jones]

Hi,

When I attempt to upgrade a 594 AppNav controller from 5.5.3 to 6.1.1, I receive the message "UPgrade of WAVE configured as apnav-controller is not supported to WAAS -6.x"

Has anyone run into this and how did you resolve this?  I was thinking I could change the device mode via CLI, upgrade it, and then change the device mode back.  TAC mentioned to me that I should check to see if the BIOS and BMC hardware would need to be upgraded, but I verified the version numbers and we are at the correct version.

Thanks,
