XOS update, how to activate new version?

[Rahman_Duran1]

Hi,

I just downloaded v.16.1.1.4 xos and ssh images to x440 and rebooted the switch. The documents I read says when I reboot the new firmware activates. But after rebooting it is still using ver. 15.2.

So how can I use new version?

Current State: OPERATIONAL Image Selected: primary
Image Booted: primary
Primary ver: 15.2.1.5
Secondary ver: 16.1.1.4

Config Selected: primary.cfg
Config Booted: primary.cfg

primary.cfg Created by ExtremeXOS version 15.2.1.5

Stephane, I said "yes" to that question. But as Daniel said it did not used new FW after reboot.

Exactly, but this doesn't always work.
I usually run 'show switch' after installing a new image. But even if I notice that the new images is not selected and try to run 'use image ' the command does nothing.
When this issue occurs I have to reboot the switch once and then run the 'use image ' command for it to "stick".

When you download the image, you are being asked if you want to make this version the active one.

VM1.1 # download image 192.168.56.1 bd10Ki386-16.1.1.4.xos
Debug information files are present in internal-memory.
These files will be removed if you continue with download.
Do you want to continue with download and remove existing files from internal-memory? (y/N) Yes
Note: The inactive partition (secondary) will be used for installation.
Do you want to install image after downloading? (y - yes, n - no, - cancel) If you say Yes, you should reboot on that new version.

Hi,

I believe the idea is that the newly installed image should be selected automatically, but this sometimes fail for some reason.

Known bug?
