Switch temporary shown "offline" in XIQ, Firmwareupdate not possible via XIQ and USB+CLI

TheManneken — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 11:33:30 GMT

Servus and hello,

We have a lot of X435-8P-4S each at different locations, almost all 32.6.3.127 running. Some of the switches randomly go "offline" in XIQ and come back online after a few hours, while they are supplying network traffic properly and I couldn't get a reason for that, neither the logs or the firewall policy. That led me to upgrade the firmware to 32.7.1.9 , but even switches marked as online the Firmware Updating progress halts ab 8% and fails after 10-15 minutes.

So I went to one of the installation locations and tried to update via USB and file summitlite_arm-32.7.1.9-patch1-26.xos, but it fails too.

Copy 'summitlite_arm-32.7.1.9-patch1-26.xos' from '/usr/local/ext' to '/usr/local/tmp'? (y/N) Yes
cp: write error: No space left on device

Since the switch still had the older 31.7.1.4 patch1-98 in the other partition, I rebooted the switch to it and tried again. The switch even was shown online in XIQ after that, but went "offline" after like an hour

The events of switch now running 31.7.1.4 patch1-98 are (via SSH)

IQagent Upgrade : CLI:
Error: Failed to download image - No space left on device

Image upgrade operation failed : CLI: Note: The inactive partition (secondary) will be used for installation.
This image will be used only after rebooting the switch!
Error: Failed to install image - tar: write error: No space left on device

IQagent Upgrade : HiveAgent Upgrade Failure: timeout

And additionaly, I have now repeating new errors via Console immediately after boot up:

Re: Switch temporary shown "offline" in XIQ, Firmwareupdate not possible via XIQ and USB+C

Can you provide the output of "ls /usr/local/tmp"?

Can you try these two different ways to install the image, instead of copying the image from the USB first?

1. install directly from the USB:

install image /usr/local/ext/<filename>.xos

2. using download image command:

download url file:///usr/local/ext/<filename>.xos

Best regards
Stefan

You need to free up some space on the device.

Check if an diagnostics.xmod image is available:

show ver images Card Partition Installation Date Version Name Branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Switch primary Thu Jan 1 00:09:55 UTC 1970 31.7.1.4 rescue.xos 31.7.1.4-patch1-98 Switch primary Mon Aug 7 16:51:08 UTC 2023 31.7.1.4 summitlite_arm-31.7.1.4-patch1-98-diagnostics.xmod 31.7.1.4-patch1-98 Switch secondary Thu Apr 4 09:57:29 UTC 2024 32.6.3.127 summitlite_arm-32.6.3.127.xos 32.6.3.127

you can uninstall this image

uninstall image summitlite_arm-31.7.1.4-patch1-98-diagnostics.xmod primary

Now ist possible to upgrade the device manually via cli.

The diagnostics image was present and already uninstalled before. There seems to be still not enough space available.
