3850 bundle mode to insall

bluesea2010 · ‎11-17-2021

Hi,

I want to change from bundle mode to install

below is the list of dir flash:

61954 -rwx 2097152 Nov 17 2021 11:39:21 +03:00 nvram_config
61956 -rw- 305290172 Jul 20 2018 19:49:46 +03:00 cat3k_caa-universalk9ldpe.SPA.03.06.08.E.152-2.E8.bin
61957 drwx 4096 Dec 30 2019 20:02:29 +03:00 dc_profile_dir
61963 -rw- 1248 Aug 3 2015 09:10:08 +03:00 packages.conf
12 drwx 4096 Aug 3 2015 09:10:37 +03:00 mnt
77446 -rw- 79122052 Aug 3 2015 09:10:04 +03:00 cat3k_caa-base.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg
77447 -rw- 6521532 Aug 3 2015 09:10:04 +03:00 cat3k_caa-drivers.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg
77448 -rw- 34530288 Aug 3 2015 09:10:04 +03:00 cat3k_caa-infra.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg
77449 -rw- 34846028 Aug 3 2015 09:10:04 +03:00 cat3k_caa-iosd-universalk9.SPA.150-1.EZ5.pkg
77450 -rw- 25170832 Aug 3 2015 09:10:04 +03:00 cat3k_caa-platform.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg
77451 -rw- 77456192 Aug 3 2015 09:10:05 +03:00 cat3k_caa-wcm.SPA.10.1.150.0.pkg
61959 -rwx 7276 Jul 17 2021 10:31:12 +03:00 vlan.dat

So I want to run the below command

software expand file flash:/cat3k_caa-universalk9ldpe.SPA.03.06.08.E.152-2.E8.bin

before expanding, I want to clean up old files .How can I do that ?

Thanks

Hi,

Follow this link to convert from bundle to install mode.

software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9ldpe.SPA.03.06.08.E.152-2.E8.bin new force verb on-reboot

Use the command above to start the Install Mode process of unpacking/extracting the package files from the BIN file.

After the process completes, check to make sure the time & date stamp of packages.conf file. If the time and date is not the same as the time and dates of the new package files, check the content of the package file:

more flash:packages.conf | begin for NOVA

The package files inside the packages.conf file should point to the new version.

Next, use the "sh boot" command to make sure the boot variable string is pointing to the packages.conf file. In the "sh boot" output, make sure "Manual Boot" is "NO".

Reboot when everything looks good.

After the reboot, clean up the flash (or else the switch will nag).

NOTE: See attachment for better instructions (including pictures).

Hi @Leo Laohoo and @Reza Sharifi

software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9ldpe.SPA.03.06.08.E.152-2.E8.bin new force verb on-reboot

.

The switch was a stack member .I removed it from the stack.The plan is to create another stack

I tried the above and getting "I tried the below and getting "% Switch 5 must be running installed software to perform this operation"

And also how to remove the old " 1248 Aug 03 2015 06:10:08.0000000000 +00:00 packages.conf"

If I extract this will be over writen ?

Thanks

Leo Laohoo · ‎11-17-2021

Post the complete output to the following commands:

dir
sh boot
sh version

Thanks

Leo Laohoo · ‎11-17-2021

So here is the steps:

1. software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9ldpe.SPA.03.06.08.E.152-2.E8.bin new force verb on-reboot

2. Check the packages files are pointed to the correct version -- more flash:packages.conf | begin for NOVA

3. Remove the old boot variable statement and make sure the boot variable is pointed to "packages.conf".

conf t
 no boo system switch all
 boot system flash flash:packages.conf
end
wr

4. Save the config.

5. Reboot the switch.

Again, refer to my document -- Cisco 3850: IOS-XE/Firmware Upgrade

Is this switch in a stack?

hI @Leo Laohoo

Is this switch in a stack?

this switch was in a stack ,I removed from the stack .

It still holds the stack information

sh switch

this switch was in a stack ,I removed from the stack .

% Switch 5 must be running installed software to perform this operation""

Since the switch was removed from the stack, you need to un-provision the switch first because right now the switch still thinks it is #5.

HTH

Leo Laohoo · ‎11-18-2021

Reza is right. It must be some kind of a bug.

Do the following

no switch 1 provision
no switch 2 provision
no switch 3 provision
no switch 4 provision
no switch 6 provision
switch 5 renumber 1

And then reboot the switch (it should boot up as switch #1).

And re-run the command again.

bluesea2010 · ‎11-18-2021

Hi,

Now getting the below

% Switch 1 must be running installed software to perform this operation

Thanks

Leo Laohoo · ‎11-18-2021

Change the boot string to point to the packages.conf.

Boot that and re-run the command.
