Has anyone successfully upgraded a Cisco Nexus 3064PQ to 6.0.2(U6)10?

[waqqas31]

Mine fails over and over again at the file verification step (pretty much the first step).

On the other hand, the exact same downloaded files worked fine on 5 different 3132Q switches, and also failed on 4 other 3064PQ switches. I'm thinking it's a bug in the release, but I would be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced the same.

Thanks!

How can we know what the suggested version is? I have attached a screenshot of the error. In this particular instance, I copied the files to bootflash from the local hard drive prior to flashing, but I had the same result no matter which source I tried.

Uploading was failing, so here's a link to the pic:

Kickstart has been downloaded with error
Where did you got that?

I advise you to download again the kickstart from our website and compare the size, MD5 if need be and then run install all again.

Regarding recommend : it's on Web page when you choose version of software
( I can upload screen shot later)


(u6)8 is :

Cisco Suggested release based on software quality, stability and longevity.

Thanks @mstrzyze

It turns out that my "cool" and "innovative" copy of bin files from the local filesystem straight to the switch's bootflash was resulting in totally failed copies. My 200MB file was only about 8KB on the switch post-copy! That said, I resorted to that option in the first place because my 3064PQ-10GX had only successfully recognized a USB flash drive in the rear USB port ONCE, but in a stroke of luck, it recognized it for the second time, during which I copied the BIN files to bootflash (and verified the copy). THEN I proceeded to upgrade the firmware using only the regular and usual commands.

Just to address the thread title, I only went the distance with the recommended firmware (U6.8) and not the latest one (U6.10) so I technically still don't know if U6.10 should work on the 3064PQ-10GX or not.

Thanks everyone for your input!
