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 ?

Otto,

Yes.. Once they have the software installed you can try to add it again. Before you do check the version images and also go to each slot and make sure each one is booted into the same partition.

Bill,

Ok...so i need to update slot 1 and slot 5, no reboot, and then do a stacking upgrade with newer software to the inactive image...

Otto,

The other issues that could be you have some slots in the stack that are on the wrong partition. All of slot have to be in the same location, i.e... all slots need to be booted in the primary partition. Telnet into each slot and do the "show switch" command. Take a look and let me know.

I believe that for this stack all nodes have booted through Secondary partition due to the below output:

Slot-1 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-2 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-3 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-4 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-5 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-6 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-7 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4
Slot-8 secondary 15.3.3.5 summitX-15.3.3.5-patch1-4.xos v1533b5-patch1-4

Since all nodes are operational and need the same EXOS version to work properly it seems the stack has booted through Secondary partition with EXOS code 15.3.3.5-patch1-4.

Otto,

Agree with Henrique, because the two slots have older code that has images named "12.0.3.16-summitx450-12.0.316.xos" you need to update the slots primary's to match the rest of them. To do that you need to update the primary on slot 1 and 5 - to do that you need to do the update specifically by doing the following "download image vr vr- primary" - when you are downloaded install it but do not reboot. Once you have that installed you can try the update from there.
