I want to upgrade our CSCP from 2.5.2.1 running on a VM to 2.7.4. The CSPC Collector Platform Software Upgrade User Manual shows the upgrade path as: 2.5.x > JeOS (jeos-30.0.0-0) > SP 2.7 > JeOS (jeos-30.0.4-0) > SP 2.7.4. Looking in the Downloads I only see jeos-20.1.2-0-lnx64.zip. Is the file mentioned in the User Manual (jeos-30.0.0-0) not publicly available? Or do I upgrade from 2.5.2.1 directly to jeos-20.1.2-0 and then apply the SP? One caveat I have is that I am not able to access the GUI, although I do have access to collectorlogin and root on the CLI.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
Can you please try to manually download and apply the 2.7 and 2.7.4 patches? We have recently released a document which helps cover the steps needed.
Thank you,

Jarrett,
I do have access to admin although when I try the check update command and enter my CCO credentials it returns "Validation of credentials failed. Please try again." I have ensured that I am entering my CCO username and password correctly.
Is there another method to download/install the required releases?
Thank you, CJ

Hello,
I believe that may occur due to the older images making use of www.cisco.com through 72.163.4.161. Since this hostname/IP was statically added to /etc/hosts for CSPC, it has to be removed manually to resolve the issues. The steps for removal were added to 2.7.3.2 release notes here. Can you please try these steps and see if it helps to resolve your issues?
Thank you,
Jarrett

Jarrett,
I have removed the 72.163.4.161 entry and I added our conf dns -a x.x.x.x to the hosts file. Check update now succeeds:
admin# check update

Also, isn't sp-30.0.4-0-0-lnx64 the 2.7.4 version? Because the upgrade path says that if I am running 2.5.x I first need to go to 2.7. Wouldn't 2.7 be 'sp-30.0.0-0-0-lnx64' and not 'sp-30.0.4-0-0-lnx64'?
I am confused because now the guide now tells me to 'download sp-30.0.4-0-0-lnx64' from root but it returns 'bash: download: command not found'. Even if the download command did work, shouldn't I download and apply sp-30.0.0-0-0-lnx64 prior to sp-30.0.4-0-0-lnx64?
Thank you, CJ

Jarrett,
I see that there is a 'download' command in the admin login whereas the guide says:
Step 1 Login to collector appliance as collectorlogin
Step 2 Switch to root using su - command
Step 3 To download the patch execute the command #download sp-30.0.4-0-0-lnx64
Just for giggles I tried it from the admin login and it is downloading sp-30.0.0-0-0-lnx64 now.
Thank you, CJ

Looking at the firewall I am seeing port 80 being allowed to 72.163.7.60 (as stated in the Guide) but our firewall it is application aware and is allowing port 80 for web-browsing but denying port 80 for flash. I will need to open 72.163.7.60:80/flash and retry the 'download sp-30.0.0-0-0-lnx64'.
Thanks, CJ

Jarrett,
I have not gotten the firewall open yet for the flash application but I tried rebooting the device with the reload command from admin to see if I could get the GUI back at least and after it came back up I am now unable to log back into admin:

I am still able to login as collectorlogin and root. I've been busy :(

Jarrett,
I see your post to demiller from last September 5th (https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/smart-net-total-care-portal-and/cspc-login-error/td-p/3175979) and looks like the adminshell may be corrupted. Considering I am still able to login to collectorlogin root is there any way to recover the adminshell without deploying a new OVA?
Thank you, CJ

Jarrett,
I found a fix in https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/smart-net-total-care-portal-and/unable-to-login-to-the-cli-of-cspc/m-p/2855972/highlight/false#M1241. I am able to login to admin again.
Thank you, CJ

I did find the below article in the forum and I tried installing the LCM-fix-jan2015.zip but that put me back to being unable to login to admin with the Java exception errors.
I then re-installed the CASP1.6.0.4_SecurityPatch and am able to login to admin once again but the download is still failing.
