HP Procurve Software updates

Dear community,

I would like to be able to update our HP procure switches via the Kiwi cat tools software.

So far I did not succeed to get it done without any errors :-(

The problem happens during the tftp copy operation, when executing the command:

copy tftp flash x.x.x.x hp/2620/RA_15_10_0010.swi primary

It's not getting back to the prompt immediately, instead some kind of upload progress is shown

When enabling debug  I see this:

================================================================================

I created a support ticket for this issue, and they asked me to create a feature request for this. (see ticket:  Case #419956)

It would be really awesome that kiwi cat tools recognises this upload progress pattern and juste waits till the upload is done. (optionally with a configurable time to wait)

I really hope this FR will be on the todo list for an upcoming release.

Thanks in advance.

  •  - God Bless, you have no idea how long I was trying to get this to work!!  THANK YOU for sharing how you did it!!!

  • If it helps anyone, I'm running CatTools 3.11 and still having issues with the firmware update which seems to wait indefinitely after issuing the 'copy tftp flash x.x.x.x RA_16_01_0007.swi' command.

    I'm using the following commands as a workaround, which does throw a load of errors, but at least gets the new firmware image uploaded.  I run a separate CatTools task to issue a 'reload at xx:xx' to reboot and apply the new firmware in our scheduled maintenance window.

    %ctUM: Timeout 10

    %ctUM: EchoOff

    copy tftp flash x.x.x.x RA_16_01_0007.swi
