Hi all,
I attempted a remote upgrade of a 2960x today and it failed.
I was able to TFTP the image to flash no problem. Set the boot system flash to the new image and copy run start, reload and the switch got stuck in boot mode with this error:
error loading flash: (file name)
You can see the switch attempting to load the new IOS but there is loads of ....................... it gets half way through these and stops, could this be a corrupt image?
It seems I am unable to verify the checksum on a 2960x is that correct?!
I am also not 100% sure I am doing the download/upgrade procedure correct:
1. TFTP image to switch using:
copy tftp: flash: (address of tftp server and image name)
2. Once in flash change boot system using:
boot system flash:(new image name)
3. copy run start and reload
****I did read somewhere that if you miss a / after boot system flash: then it can cause issues is that also correct?***
Can anyone help with this, its really important as I have a load of other production switches to do and if it is just a corrupt IOS then I have been unlucky!
Thanks
