When i upgrade a Summitstack (8 nodes X250e-24x) with new firmware (XOS) then not all nodes wil be upgraded. Downloading goes well, but installing of the new firmware fails. Anyone got an idea what goes wrong, and knows how to solve this problem ?

Hi Henrique,

I did that with another stack (with X250e-24x) and had the same problem. I downloaded software to the faulty slots. So every slot had the same software. But when i rebooted the stack, some slots failed to come up, and i had to synchronize and rebooted the slots.

I also upgraded stacks with X440-24x switches with no problems. My opinion is that this a problem only with X250 switches and/or software.

We have 12 stacks (8 x X250-24x) and 24 stacks (8 x X440-24x). I am still struggling with the X250's, but i'm glad with every help you give me...

TIA

Hi Otto, I agree with Bill.

This issue might be related to an old EXOS version installed in 2 stacking nodes.

All other nodes have downloaded the EXOS code 15.3.1.4 to the primary partition except Slot-1 and Slot-5 as follows:

Slot-1 primary Tue Apr 8 08:37:02 UTC 2008 12.0.3.16 summitX450-12.0.3.16.xos v1203b16
Slot-5 primary Tue Apr 8 08:37:02 UTC 2008 12.0.3.16 summitX450-12.0.3.16.xos v1203b16

Did you try to download the EXOS code only to Slot-1 primary and then to Slot-5 primary?

Otto,

Everything there looks good on the stacking front thus far, can you send me the output of "show stacking" and "show version images" ? One thing that I did notice is that there looks to be a version mismatch on the master and the backup. If you look at master/backup in the primary on the master you have 12.0.3.16 and the backup you have 15.3.14, sometimes upgrading from 12.0.x code as per your master things can go sideways. When you send me your "show ver images" we can take it from there.
