Hi,

I try to load an image to a C3750X-12S with Smart Install. The Vstack director is a C3560E with 15.0(2)SE and a custom vstack group for the C3570X since it does not seem to be available in the built-in groups. The image is on a TFTP server. the config looks like this:

vstack group custom WS-C3750X-12S product-id
image tftp://172.18.0.245/c3750e-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE7.tar

All other types of switch load without any problem, the C3750X-12S does not. the error message I get is:

If I do a "show vstack status" on the director it looks like that:

42 3c08.f69d.4980 WS-C3750X-12S 172.18.252.233 Switch S A a X

I fiddled around with some other possible product-id with noc success. Has anyone an idea what trick I could use to get this running?

Kind regards

The Director does not have a image file or a configuration file configured for this Product-ID

Means the VStack Director could not find the IOS file in the TFTP server. Can you please check if the file exist? Do you have an imagelist.txt file?

Also read THIS.

MATTHIAS SCHAERER · ‎05-05-2015

Hi

sorry to not get back quicker; it took me some time to get back at the customer site. The file for the C3750X exist on the TFTP server as well as the image-list. So theoretically it should be found. I still believe that something with the product ID is happening in the background.

match WS-C3750X-12S

Ok, I haven't played with 15.0(2)SE2 for a long time so I don't have any recollection on how ZeroTouch behaves.

I am suspecting this match statement is incorrect, in my opinion. It should be "match WS-C3750X-12S-S" or "match WS-C3750X-12S-E". If you run the command "sh cdp neighbor <PORT> detail" and look at "Platform" the feature set of "-S" or "-E" shows up.

Another way of testing is to console into the 3750X-12S and reboot. I want to see what the error messages pop up.

vstack group built-in 3750x 12s
 image tftp://<TFTP IP Address>/c3750e-universalk9-tar.122-55.SE10.tar
 config tftp://<TFTP IP Address>/3750X-12S_config.txt

Another thing, I've recently enabled 3750X-12S in my ZeroTouch SmartInstall setup and this is my configuration (above). I am currently running IOS version 15.2(3)E and I don't use "custom built" option. The imagelist.txt filename syntax is "3750x-12s-imagelist.txt".

MATTHIAS SCHAERER · ‎05-11-2015

Hi Leo

thanks for your continuing support. I have had the opportunity to go on with the testing. Still no success.

On the director side (WS-C3560E-12SD, 15.0(2)SE, C3560E-UNIVERSALK9-M) the config looks like that:

vstack group custom IE-3000 product-id

match IE-3000-8TC

I tried several things: removing the IE-3000 group so that the WS-C3750X-12S group was first. No success. I had groups with all kind of product IDs like WS-C3750X-12S-S, WS-C3750X-12S-E, C3750X-12S, no success either. The IOS 15.0(2) does not allow me to use a built-in group for the 12s and I have no possibility to upgrade this director quickly. But I can imagine that due to the built-in group 3750x for the 24 and 48 switches the custom group for the same switch type might fail. I will try to build a test with a director with a more recent IOS and let you know the results.

Kind regards
Mat

Ok, this message means a whole-lot of sense.

This means the configuration to your VStack is correct. The problem now is the image files and configuration file.

Do you have a imagelist.txt file for the 3750X-12S?

The image file exists, the imagelist exists and other tar files and imagelists for C2960G and C2960S exist and are transferred to the devices without any problem. The only device that does not want to load the image file is the 3750X.

What I try to do is to load only the image, no config should be installed on the devices. It's kind of a initialization factory for new switches.

I have already changed the software on the director to 15.0(2)SE7 (highest available release for the C3560E) without any noticeable effect. For me the messages

May 11 15:40:20.694: VSTACK_PROTOCOL smi_ibd_get_image_config_name_from_chaddr: Did not match any group, the default group is also not configured

are puzzling. When I do a show cdp neighbor detail I get

The platform in the CDP neighbor command matches my match clause in the vstack group statement. I already did a second group with all lower case characters in the match command, no success either.

Can it be that I hit some kind of a bug? I have not found any in the bug toolkit so far but it really seems to me that I have tried mostly everything possible to get it running.

Leo Laohoo · ‎05-12-2015

Out of curiosity, what IOS version is the 3750X-12S currently running on?

MATTHIAS SCHAERER · ‎05-12-2015

Hi Leo

I have been thinking about that too, it's a C3750E Software (C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(58)SE2. The software should be at least 'a bit' vstack-capable and the only thing it really needs to do is to send the right product-id and to pull the software image from the source that the director is telling it. But with the error messages on the director I doubt that the 3750X is the culprit. Since the director on the 3560 already complains that there is no matching group and no image file can be found.

I can change the image on the 3750X just for testing purposes but I doubt that this will change anything. I will take some time since I am two weeks off now.

Thanks for your ongoing support.

Mat

Leo Laohoo · ‎05-12-2015

12.2(58)SE2

It's not the IOS. This version is "VStack ready".

Something is "not right" on the VStack director switch.

MATTHIAS SCHAERER · ‎05-12-2015

That's my opinion too. I'll probably have to raise a TAC case.

Leo Laohoo · ‎05-12-2015

Let me now how you go. I'm keen to know where the problem is.

MATTHIAS SCHAERER · ‎05-12-2015

Sure will. Thanks again!
