Cisco Network Assistant failing IOS upgrade on 2960s

2950s work fine when upgrading the IOS using CNA. On all 2960s I get Failed to execute the command archive download-sw /overwrite /http iosFile

If I run the command using telnet and tftp server it works fine.

I have tried by deleting the old image then trying upgrade using CNA, but no luck

Any Ideas?

Cheers

I too am getting this same problem.

I am upgrading from 15.0(2)SE2 to 15.2.1E

It is an open issue on 2960s , where upgrade will fail  because of  memory  issue . The work around is to upgrade these IOS through CLIs

Memory or flash storage?  Because flash storage is not an issue -- I can wipe it from the CLI, and the upgrade from the CNA fails.  It's an issue on the 2960-PST and 2960G-48 (same code base).

My current work around using CNA is to:

1. Upgrade IOS from 12.2(35) to 12.2(58).

2. Upgrade IOS from 12.2(35) to 12.2(50).

3. Downgrade IOS from 12.2(50) to 12.2(35) then upgrade to 12.2(58).

This seems to be a work around for me.  I haven't tried upgrading 12.2(25) yet, but I suspect it will behave similarly.
