ISE 1.4 to 2.1 prepare

[Ced Caldwell]

I have a virtal ISE v1.4 running in VMware with no issues.

However, I've been scratching my head all day about why I keep getting this "unable to unbundle the package. It should be in tar.gz file format" error after issuing the following:

ISE/admin(config)# repository upgrade
ISE/admin(config-Repository)# u
url user
ISE/admin(config-Repository)# url tftp://10.10.3.63/TFTP-Root/

ISE/admin# application upgrade prepare ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to-2.1.0.x.x86_64.tar.gz upgrade

Getting bundle to local machine...
Error code 1: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\TFTP-Root\TFTP-Root\ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to- 2.1.0.x.x86_64.tar.gz'.

Unbundling Application Package...
% Unable to unbundle the package. It should be in tar.gz file format

Documentation states *tar.gz is the correct file format.

What I'm I missing here?

When you define your repository, don't include the 'TFTP-Root' bit. That will be chosen automatically by the tftp server software. 

That's why you see error code 1 - the path is appending an extra, repeated directory.

I missed a step in mentioning that the following cmd is failing:

ISE/admin# copy tftp://10.10.3.63/ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to-2.1.0.x.x86_64.tar.gz disk:/
Error code 1: Could not find file 'C:\TFTP-Root\ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to-2.1.0.x.x86_64.tar.gz'.

AND

ISE/admin(config-Repository)# url ftp://10.10.3.63

ISE/admin# copy ftp://10.10.3.63/ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to-2.1.0.x.x86_64.tar.gz disk:/
Username: admin

% Error: Transfer failed

Is there a preferred ftp or tftp that works?  I've tried Filezilla and TFTP server.

When performing an ISE upgrade, we use the syntax:

application upgrade prepare ise-upgradebundle-1.3.x-and-1.4.x-to-2.1.0.474.x86_64.tar.gz <repository name>

Where the repository name is the one you created earlier.
