Aruba 2530 firmware update YA_16_11_0019 upload failed - not a valid signature

[DMA92]

HI,

I've been installing more than 10 updates for two 2530 switches before, always downloading .swi firmware updates from the Aruba support pages. All happened as expected. Now I'm trying to install the YA_16_11_0019 and I get an error upon upload (failed, not a valid signature).. This happens for both switches. I installed the YA_16_11_0018 a few minutes before, and everything was OK as usual. I tried a second download from a different PC and OS (macOS 13) and it goes the same way.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

I reported this problem to Aruba support at the end of June on version 16_11_019. Support told me that this problem would be resolved in the next version. Today I launched the update to 16_11_020 and the problem still exists. What a disappointment!

Experiencing the same issue with the YA_16_11_0023 firmware.  Currently on YA.16.11.0018.

Your answer helped me understand that there was a problem with version 16_11_0018. After deleting version 16_11_0018 by returning the secondary image on the device, I installed 16_11_0020 and then successfully installed version 16_11_0024. Thanks.

Hello everyone

I had the same issues and I followed your post: the version 16_11_0018. doesn't allow firmware update.

Deleted, started with secondary (older) firmware, uploaded the last firmware and all was ok.

Thank you very much
