Hi all,
This is my first post here. I was hoping someone would be able to help me please. I've had a bit of a Google and even read a few posts on here that are quite similar, but not exactly the same. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find an answer to my question. Most things I've read suggest that it should just work.
A bit of background first:
We have several HPE Aruba 2930F-48G-740W-PoE+-4SFP+ (JL558A) switches on site, and I thought it would be a good idea to update the firmware. It's half term, so I can get away with doing reboots, or scheduling them to run over night. Most are running WC.16.06.0006. However, I've downloaded WC.16.08.0001 (although I've just seen that WC.16.08.0002 is out) and installed that on a few of them to test. All are working fine. The ROM version is WC.16.01.0004. This is true for the ones that have been updated as well.
I downloaded the firmware and manually uploaded this to all the switches via the GUI (we don't currently have Airwave, or any other method that I'm aware of to manage the switches) and scheduled reboots over the next few days. However, I've just found that one of these switches, a VSF stack (two switches), is a bit upset with the update. In the event list, I have a 'Major': 'Reboot of Member ID 2, Wrong OS reboot'.
On the GUI, I see Primary Software is WC.16.08.0001 (Booted), but CLI says WC.16.06.0006. I'm assuming the update rolled itself back/didn't apply?
The update has worked fine on the single switches. Looking at another one of my stacks, this time three switches, the firmware update has been successful too. However, this is running WC.16.01.0005 ROM. In addition, I manually provisioned the switches in this stack. This was done a few weeks ago, and were purchased separately for a new building.
My question is, how do I update the firmware on VSF stacked switches please? Am I doing something wrong, or could this just be an issue with this one stack? Being in a stack, I assumed the firmware would apply to all switches. I think this was the case for our previous switches - non-HP.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
