Procurve 3500yl firmware update.

[Mark Burbage]

Guys

I have been updating the firmware on my procurve switch and I'm now doing the 3500yl's.

I have been able to do this in stages as they were out of date by someway. I'm having a problem updating from; -

K.13.71 (Boot ROM k.12.17) to K.14.47.

The error I get in Procurve Manager is : -

Error: Software image file K_14_47.swi not found at the agent.

The zipped filed exists in the download directory on the server so it should work. As it has been for the other switches I have done.

Has anyone else encountered this type of issue??

Any help would be great.

Thx.

wat is the version of PCM?

Hi Mark,

1. Do you have the newest procurve_firmware.prp file?
2. In the .prp-file does the package file have the ".zip" extension?
PackageFileName=yl-zl-6600-3500-Software-K1447.zip
FileName=K_14_47.swi

In an earlier .prp file this was missing for the 5406 update.

Thx for the reply Jaap & Javed.

The version of PCM is 3.1.

It seems that you are correct. The .zip is missing from the end of the package name. Do you know where i can download the latest prp file from? I can't seem to do it from within PCM at the moment. So i would like to download it manually. Thx for all your help.

Hi Mark,

The newest .prp can be found at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software

This is not always so however. E.g. the newest firmware for the 54xx & 35xx is K_14_60.swi.
You can just change the entry in the .prp-file you need. The xtra info you need can be found in the files in the .zip file.

Hope this helps.
