EXOS Stack Switches not archiving in XMC 8.5.0.169

[Christopher_Tay]

We have 8 sets of EXOS stack switches consisting of 2 X460-G2’s each.

After upgrading to XMC 8.51 the switches will no longer upgrade automatically or manually

The error in the information section of the Inventory log is

Archive Save /World/X460-G2: (172.16.1.104) Version Stamp: Oct 16, 2020 12:00:00 AM - Error Archiving Configuration File. : Do you want to save configuration to primary.cfg and overwrite it? (y/N) Yes Saving configuration primary.cfg  on master .. done! Synchronizing configuration to backup .... done!

Slot-1 Rm 104 Switch.2 # extremeprompt                           ^ %% Invalid input detected at '^' marker. Slot-1 Rm 104 Switch.3 #  

XMC version 8.5.0.169

Switch version 22.7.1.2   patch1-24 

Thank you for the help

Thank you for the response.

I have upgraded to version 8.5.2 and the archive issue has been resolved.

Hello,

this is a known issue in 8.5.0 and it is fixed in 8.5.1. Newer versions of EXOS (I believe 30.6 and newer) are also not affected.

You can also fix it by changing some files on the XMC Host.
