Hi,

 

first of all, is it possible to upgrade directly form 5.3.3 to 6.6.2? I know its a large jump and may cause some issues.

I have verified what PIE's are active at present and then uploaded the 6.6.2 PIE's to the harddisk.
When I attempt to install add PIE, the add seems to work.  But when I complete a ''install activate PIE test'', I get failures (many different ones depending on which PIE is inolved.  Some examples are below:

CURRENT ACTIVE PIE:

Is this an issue beacuse that this part of teh package is not availble under a lower version of the software.  Am I going to have to upgrade to another package such as 6.2.2 and then up to 6.6.2.


Any advice will be great as I am starting to get frustrated with this.

Thanks

I have managed to resolve the issue:

It seems there was an aditional package from the 5.3.3, that was not in use but activated and is not availble in the 6.6.2 version.

isk0:asr9k-asr901-nV-px-5.3.3 - I verified that this was missing from the 6.6.2 release.
It is used for Satalite swicthes, and was we are not using that feature on our devices.
This was deactivated and the commands run again and everything tested OK.

 

Note to self - Always verify packages even if there is the same amount listed - Some will have different functions.

The packages to upgrade must be at least the same, or a *superset* of the active packages it can not be a *subset*. So you seems to be missing the asr901-nV packages for 6.6.2.
