VSP 7254 XSQ Software Upgrade fails

[poddy]

Hi all, I’ve got an issue upgrading my VSP 7254 XSQ software. I’m getting an error message which doesn’t really tell me much. Has anyone had any experience with this? 

I’m currently sitting on an old software release VOSS7K.6.0.1.1.GA (Primary Release), and I am attempting to go up to 8.3.0.0; 

I tried doing the “next major upgrade up” from 6.0.1.1 to 6.1.0.0 but that didn’t help. Still saying the same thing. 

Slot 1: Could not update Kernel image for flash bank 1. IM error code: -1

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Have you verified the upgrade path is correct?

I would say in your case you would have to do:

6.0.x->6.1.x->7.1.x->8.1.x->8.3.x
