Problem with image copy on HP ProCurve 2848 switch

[MQ'ski]

I did execute following command:
copy flash flash secondary
switch returned immediately:

# copy flash flash secondary
File transfer already in progress.


That means That I can't see copied Image from Primary to Secondary flash.
Reload is also unsuccessful:
# reload
You cannot reload, a file transfer is in progress!
Can I do anythink to proceed?

Hi

If you can run "show flash" to compare both images in primary and secondary.

Then show run and at the beginning of the output of show run you can see what IOS is used in last boot and compare it with the existing one.

Try to upgrade your switch also to the latest firmware on ProCurve site.

Good Luck !!!

Hello!
I have the same pronlem with a ProCurve 2626.

But it seems that the file download was complete. The new flash version is shown in the show flash command result.

I've tried the following commands.

--------------------------------------------
show flash

Image Size(Bytes) Date Version
----- ---------- -------- -------
Primary Image : 3508153 08/26/09 H.10.83
Secondary Image : 2876374 02/08/05 H.08.60
Boot Rom Version: H.08.02
Current Boot : Primary
--------------------------------------------

reload

You cannot reload, a file transfer is in progress!
--------------------------------------------
boot

Download is in progress, you cannot reboot now!
--------------------------------------------
copy tftp flash xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx fw/hp26xx/H_10_83.swi
The Primary OS Image will be deleted, continue [y/n]? y
File transfer already in progress.

I havn't tried a hard reset yet.

Do you have an idea?

Sorry. Some time passed and Im lost. I don't remember the final result of that. Maybe someone would answer your question here.

Did anyone found a solution here? I have to reboot a switch by remote access, but I get the same message.

I have done it with the web interface.

Diagnostics -> Device Reset

I had the same problem on a 2520-8G. It resultet from a previous telnet session that somehow aborted. On the switch I entered:

   show telnet

I got a list of three sessions, one was "console", the next was the aborted one and the last one the one I used to type the above command. Then I issued:

  kill 2

This cured the problem.
