Hi Guys
I am finding it difficult to identity the root cause of the copy failure when trying to copy the image 17.3.4 from the TFTP Server to the Cisco 9500-48Y4C. Command used is :
install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin
I can ping the TFTP server from the 9500.
I have also removed the ACL and tried to but still the same problem.
I have set the ip tftp source-interface vlan XXX
But still the following problem arises.
CoreSwitch#install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin
install_add: START Tue Feb 15 22:03:11 XXXX 2022
/usr/binos/conf/install_init.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

FAILED: Failed to download file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin: Timed out
Requesting for your advice on this please.

You are not copying you are installing, check the syntax for install
by the way what is the current version running ?

- Check your tftp server's logs , see if any (transfer)-request comes in , or look for other error messages , if any

Hi
If you are going to copy larger files I will suggest to use an FTP server.
As mentioned before, with the command #install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin you are upgrading the code. If it is the case, use the the "install remove inactive" command, then proceed with the upgrade using one shot command
#install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin activate commit

It will not work.
Copy the file into switch. Do not make any attempt to do the Install Mode all the way using TFTP or it will always fail.
IMPORTANT: Read the Release Notes properly.
Be ware that 17.3.5 was released over the weekend.

Hi Everyone
Thanks a lot for your replies. Yes, I did make a mistake thinking that the copy process will be shown, example the !!!!!!!
Using the install add file tftp://X.X.X.X/OS Name
We are getting this alert.

CoreSwitch#$://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin
still we are not sure what the syntax used here, post full syntax here.
Hope you used like this #install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin
is this stack switch ? what is the current version of code running ?
SUCCESS: install_add Wed Feb 16 00:11:25 XXXX 2022
as per the information this is success.
Either you can go and install and activate :
#install activate
or you can reload and try again.

Thanks Balaji
The syntax used for the copy is : install add file tftp://10.10.10.10/cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin
This is a Stack switch. Currently running 16.12.03a
I want to run the following command to activate and commit.
1. install activate auto-abort-timer 30 mins
2. install commit
Please if you can also advice on this alert.

WTF, is anyone actually reading-and-understanding what we have said?
Let me repeat what I said, "Do not make any attempt to do the Install Mode all the way using TFTP or it will always fail".
Read. Understand.
