AIP-SSM system upgrade

[fallonem82]

I've received a new asa5520 with aip-ssm (ssm-20). I have upgraded the ASA image to 7.2(3) successfully. I am trying to upgrade the SSM module from 5.1(6)E1 to 6.0(3)E1. I have the following connections

Sensor IP: 10.0.0.3

ASA G0/0: 10.0.0.2

Gateway: 10.0.0.2

TFTP server: 10.0.0.6

Subnet: /29

trying to upgrade from the ASA I have issued the commands:

hw-module module 1 recover configure

>Image URL: tftp://10.0.0.6/IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.0-3-E1.img

>Port IP address: 10.0.0.3

>Gateway: 10.0.0.2

hw-module module 1 recover boot

debug module-boot

here is the output I get

Any ideas on why I'm getting the failure at line 81 would be great!

Try it again, but this time don't add a gateway address. If you go to Networkers, I cover this in the Troubleshooting IPS session. It's a frustrating problem when you initially run into it! ;-)

Only add a gateway when the TFTP server is on a different LAN segment than the sensor.

If your sensor boots into 5.x you can issue the upgrade command

upgrade ftp://user@10.0.0.22/IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-6.0-3-E1.pkg

It's less complex than re-imaging your sensor from scratch, plus there are less hidden problems that require you to attend a troubleshooting class to discover.

Thanks, I'll try both solutions in the next couple of days.
