Must be a typo, you can upgrade from the UFI firmwares to 9, same as going to 8.0.95. I went directly from 8.0.95 to 9.
Looking at the show flash output they were trying to keep an 8.0.30 image which is not UFI and had boot loader 10.1.14. Not doing going to work at all. I suspect if they had updated to 8.0.92/95 and UFI on the primary, then loading 9.0 into secondary might work? Or copy pri to sec then put 9.0 on pri.

Code Flash Free Space = 1650638848You are likely right, I obviously did not parse the original question all that well. Although if the configs are not backward compatible between 8.0.9* and 9.*, do both the primary and and secondary keep separate startup configs to account for this? Could be an issue there, but i'm not sure.

Needs to be a icx7*** series and a recent FastIron firmware for unleashed integration, but the unleashed ICX integration really isn’t anything to pay extra for.Just out of curiosity, do the ICX6450 show up in the Ruckus Unleashed interface or does it need to be a 7150/7250?
Also, interested to hear people's experience with the reliability of the ICX6450-48P? A ICX7150-C12P fits my requirements fine but really struggling to justify paying >500USD (400GBP) for one when used ICX6450-48P are 150GBP and used ICX7250-48P are around £300.
There is also the option of going for the vanilla ICX6540-48 with no PoE option and just get use injectors for my two APs... Cheap as chips option at 70GBP
Thoughts?
When I used an Intel X520-DA2 NIC in one of my ESXi 6.7 servers I found that reloading my 6610 switch would take the NIC down -- no idea why. But I could get both ports back up with these commands:
esxcli network nic up -n vmnic4
esxcli network nic up -n vmnic5
the "hw pid-prom" commands that set the correct license ID, if ran on a stack, will only apply to the master switch, there's no way to make them run on the secondary. it sounds like you ran it on the master, then imported the matching licenses on both switches? that would certainly make the second one go invalid as it no longer has a matching LID
After unstacking it, setting the serial, and adding the licenses again. It's still displayed as invalid. Not sure why.the "hw pid-prom" commands that set the correct license ID, if ran on a stack, will only apply to the master switch, there's no way to make them run on the secondary. it sounds like you ran it on the master, then imported the matching licenses on both switches? that would certainly make the second one go invalid as it no longer has a matching LID
I think you'd have to now unstack the second 6450 and wipe it, then follow the license guide on it to get the LID changed and licenses imported. then once its all valid, and your master is too, re-add it to the stack. this is why it's highly recommended to license all your stuff before stacking it
(theoretically, in a stack, you can jump to the console of secondary units by using the "rconsole 2" command, but I've tested this and it won't let you run the "hw pid" commands from that remote console)
---------------------
Also I suppose instead of unstacking it, you could also just use the other hidden method of changing the serial and LID, from the bootloader. console cable to your secondary 6450, reboot it and stop it in the u-boot bootloader, then run:
eeprom clear
eeprom sn 2ax5o2jk68e
reset
it'll reboot and let it boot fully and rejoin the stack like usual. I think you might have to reboot it twice with this method as the first boot after clearing the LID from u-boot has it re-generate one, but not take effect. second reboot has it come up fully changed. then ssh to the stack and import licenses to it, by specifying unit 2:
copy tftp license 192.168.1.8 ICX64xx/1-6450-prem.xml unit 2
copy tftp license 192.168.1.8 ICX64xx/2-6450-ports.xml unit 2
post the unedited output of both "show version" and "show license", i'm sure it's something simple

Be sure to run these exact commands, copy/paste them over a telnet/ssh/serial console connection. Are you on a non-US PC region settings/keyboard/etc? it's almost like certain characters got turned into something else:
enable
hw pid-prom serial 2ax5o2jk68e
hw pid-prom clear-sw-lid
reloadI'm honestly confused as well. I'm doing this via ssh, with just a copy and paste. My keyboard is a Corsair K55, and I am in the US so I assume everything is US settings. I gonna try just manually typing the commands
Sorry, I didn't noticed the update, well... all is good and fully unlocked, many many thanks!
