upgrade using install add source ftp error

[MariaSousa48787]

Hi,

i'm trying to downgrade from 6.6.2, ios-xr(64bits- ASR9910) to 6.5.3 and it seems that the transfer it is impossible!

I've tried from ios vm and i could transfer from ftp to disk1:, so it is not problem of FTP!

Should be configured some extra commands?

here you can see the printouts:

1 -Success on IOS-XR VM:

RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:lab01-cr1#copy ftp: disk0:

2. not success on xm vm

3. configs on ios-xr vm

Thanks for all you help

You don't need to copy to sysadmin, you can install/upgrade/downgrade from the XR vm. If you really want to copy to sysadmin it is possible but you have to specify the location as the RP and VM1, that way the system knows you are copying from XR VM to sysadmin VM. The XR and sysadmin VMs have their own partitions, both called disk0 and harddisk.
