I got an stack with two C9200. One C9200-24P-E, and one C9200-48T-E.

This stack runs in install-mode, with software version 17.03.03.

 

The two flash: are as following :

I have tried to copy new BIN-file to flash: and then run the "install add file flash:*******.bin activate commit". 

This fails due to insufficient space on switch-2.

I have also tried to run the install directly from usbflash0:, but with the same result.

As you can see, there are no BIN files from before that I can delete. Also ran "install remove inactive" to clear away any installation that is not in use.

 

Here are the error messages I get:

How can I upgrade the switch in another way. What other files can I delete?

OK, i have the same issue kinda, that the installation couldn't progress due to no left space on one of the stack members.
That was happening cause i didn't approve on time the question about if i really wanted to upgrade the device, so the installation was left uncompleted. When we execute the "install add file..." the image is being uncompress to all stack members.

If you do a dir, you will see that one of the flash: is showing incorrect free space on the device. This is happening cause there are some hidden files that when you execute "install remove inactive" Cisco software is unable to find, do not know why cause it should be plain and straight.
So what we have to do is delete this files manually.

This was my case:

Directory of flash-2:/

1956904960 bytes total (817102848 bytes free)


If you perform the sum it was incorrect. SO i did:

dir flash-2:/*


And i found:

Directory of flash-2:/.images/

8151 drwx 4096 May 8 2024 12:30:10 +02:00 17.14.01.0.1391.1712301670


This is a directory that contains the uncompressed files from the image:

dir flash-2:/.images/17.14.01.0.1391.1712301670/
Directory of flash-2:/.images/17.14.01.0.1391.1712301670/

This are the files that you have to delete:

Then you will see the correct free space and you will be able to install the upgrade across the whole stack:


dir flash-2:/
