Not enough space on device - AP 3602

[lizochkanovichenko]

hello!

I have problem with upgrade firm ware. I tried to upgrade using the following commands:

ap: format flash:
ap: reset
ap: flash_init
ap: ether_init
ap: set IP_ADDR x.x.x.x
ap: set NETMASK x.x.x.x
ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER x.x.x.x
ap: tftp_init
ap: tar -xtract tftp:// x.x.x.x/ap1g6a-k9w8-tar.153-3.JPN4.tar flash:

And then the error appeared: Error writing flash:/ramfs_data_cisco.squashfs (Not enough space on device)

But I see  there is a free place:

ap: dir flash:
Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 72 <date> env_vars
3 -rwx 84 <date> info.ver
4 -rwx 84 <date> info
5 -rwx 8389552 <date> part.bin
6 -rwx 1073561 <date> btldr.bin.lzma
7 -rwx 36 <date> btldr_md5

22531584 bytes available (9466368 bytes used)

Please help to understand what this can be connected with, so how to fix it?

i would suggest to delete - part.bin and try again.

I tried to do this but when firmware load I see that: 

ap: tar -xtract tftp://10.148.21.245/ap1g6a-k9w8-tar.153-3.JPN4.tar flash:

extracting info.ver (84 bytes)
extracting info (84 bytes)
extracting part.bin (8389552 bytes)..........

And deleting the part.bin is not a solution to the problem, unfortunately.

There is nothing useful in the flash so format the flash.

format flash:

LOL and you all missed the key detail ...  ap1g6a is for C9130AXI, C9130AXE, C9124AXI, C9124AXD, C9124AXE, C9136AXI, C9136I, IW9167EH, CW9164I, CW9166I APs which run a completely different operating system AP-COS.

3602 runs IOS and the image name starts with ap3g2.
153-3.JPN4 is for IOS-XE 17.9.5 but 3602 is not supported on 9800 series WLCs at all.

On AireOS the last version to support 3602 was 8.5.x because the AP is end is support so the last image you can download for it is 15.3(3)JF15 https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284006700/type/280775090/release/15.3.3-JF15 likely to be removed from download pages soon because of end of support.  The last WLC version available which will support 3602 is 8.5.182.12 (link below).

So that's why there's not enough space - you're trying to extract the files for a different model of AP which runs a different operating system and needs at least 10 times as much flash space so will never fit on a 3602.

Hello! 

I solved this problem a long time ago. The problem was that I mixed up the firmware and tried to install the wrong one.

thanks!
