Comware

HI,

I've been installing more than 10 updates for two 2530 switches before, always downloading .swi firmware updates from the Aruba support pages. All happened as expected. Now I'm trying to install the YA_16_11_0019 and I get an error upon upload (failed, not a valid signature).. This happens for both switches. I installed the YA_16_11_0018 a few minutes before, and everything was OK as usual. I tried a second download from a different PC and OS (macOS 13) and it goes the same way.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Hi,

We're seeing the same issue, we have reported it to HPE support team. awaiting an update.

Same here, ticket opened. I'm surprised that this got past testing and into the wild. 

I am seeing the same issue, I just tried 16_11_0020 and getting the same result.

I got a reply that TFTP should be used to install these updates, though I have not tested yet. I hope it helps someone!

TFTP procedure: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOS-S/16.11/MCG/WC/content/common%20files/usi-tft-dow-sof-ser.htm

…or without TFTP…

I looked for solutions with a spare 2530-24G.

Long story very short:

• It seems to me that YA_16_11_0018 breaks the upload signature checking feature.
• It seems to me that YA_16_11_0020 restores it.
• Booting the switch from the secondary image let me update the primary image ro YA_16_11_0019 and YA_16_11_0020 (the secondary image was < YA_16_11_0018).
• Loosing connection with the switch happened, due to cookies in my browser.

Wish you all a nice update session ;)

Can confirm with me it worked, booted secondary image "YA_16_11_0015" and them uploaded YA_16_11_0020 by replacing YA_16_11_0018

Hi,

Same problem for both the YA_16_11_0019 version and the YA_16_11_0020 version.

I confirm that I solved the problem and was able to upgrade the firmware via TFTP.

Best Regards

Hi,

I confirm that the update via TFTP works correctly for both version YA_16_11_0019 and version YA_16_11_0020.

Regards

I reported this problem to Aruba support at the end of June on version 16_11_019. Support told me that this problem would be resolved in the next version. Today I launched the update to 16_11_020 and the problem still exists. What a disappointment!

Hi,

Just finish the upgrade using tftp and it works just fine

Was on YA_16_11_0018 and went to YA_16_11_0025.

• copy tftp flash 172.20.10.80 YA_16_11_0025.swi secondary
