2910 al J9146A J9148A Upgrading to W_15_08_0012.swi

[HammadHassan]

Hello Every one,

                              I have around 6 switches for the customer. Three 2910 al J9146A and three J9148A model. I downloaded their images as they were running old image  W.14.06.

1st of all i didn't find any where which one is recommended image for these products. But i found the latest one which is W.15.08.

*** BootROM update ***

This software includes an update to BootROM W.14.06.
If your switch has an older version of BootROM, the
BootROM will be updated with this software.

**Do not interrupt power to the switch during the update!!**

I have downloaded latest images for both models via TFTP. Its working fine on Primary secondry. But still it hasn't updated BootRom image. As its mentioned in relase notes.

I did the same. couple of times reboot etc etc
 but still BootRom Image is still W.14.06.....

The boot ROM version and the software version rarely (possibly never - i can't recall) match.  As long as your switch reboots successfully and 'show version' reports that you are running the version that 'show flash' shows as available, then you're in good shape.

P.S. Here's an example from my 3400cl:
