Impossible to upgrade IOS Catalyst 3560?

[torleif]

Hello!

I want to upgrade a Catalyst 3560-48PS to the last IOS.

I get an errormessage stating that there is insufficient space in flash: I have deleted all files in flash - but I still get the same error message. According to the documentation there should be enough memory. Messages are pasted below.

What am I missing?

Regards,

Thanks for the ratings.  Did it work?

[torleif]

12.2(50) was too big.

12.2.(46) installed fine.

Ok.  Thanks.

Got another option for you ... If you don't NEED to use the HTML subdirectory you can just push the BIN file.  12.2(55)SE5 is approximately 12 Mb so it should fit.

Worked fine!

First time I tried I used the archive command - which of corse did not work with bin files. When I tried with copy tftp it worked fine!

Thank you!

Hi

Just to add my 2 cents. I believe the tar file you were trying to use for the upgrade needs 32mb of flash because it contains the IOS binary and the web based management files, you can use the the archive download-sw with the "imageonly" and "overwrite" options to archive the same result as the copy of the binary file alone.

archive download-sw /imageonly /overwrite source-url

Also at this time 12.2(55)SE6 is available for download, this version requires only 16MB of flash in most of the 3560 (non-E / non-X).
