Firmware Upgrade using SCP

shyde

I have spent a fair bit of time trying to get SCP working for the firmware upgrade operation since TFTP has been very slow on the network and I am hoping SCP will make an improvement.

I have successfully used TFTP for the firmware upgrades in the past no issues aside from the speed.

I have ensured that the transfer method is selected to SCP and that the user/password account using in the copy command matches the windows user account which is used by solarwinds to discover the firmware images in the firmware repository (this discovery is currently working no problems).

When I start the firmware upgrade operation I get:

Upgrade Operation Started at 4/22/2022 2:56:04 PM

Upgrading node 1370sony9300.sc01

ERROR: Unable to get image filename "cat9k_iosxe.17.03.04.SPA.bin" from firmware upgrade storage

I also opened a support ticket with Solarwinds. We ended up moving the repository to C:/sftp_root

We also changed the copy command to:
copy ${TransferProtocol}://${SCPServerUserName}:${SCPServerPassword}@${StorageAddress}/${SubFolder}/${NewImageName} ${NewImageSlot}${CRLF}${CRLF}dir ${NewImageSlot} ${SuccessRegEx:${NewImageName}}

Seems to be working now. I think others have had issues with this I found similar posts with a command structure like above that I had copied, honestly at this point I'm not sure what changed in the template.
