Upgrade Cisco 9300 Catalyst switches in Install Mode

bgreen00 over 4 years ago

I am wondering if there is a method for upgrading IOS on Cisco devices that use install mode instead of bundle mode by using NCM/Orion.

There are several templates for upgrading Cisco devices, but all of them seem to be for upgrading devices in Bundle mode by replacing the bootfile

I would like to do something like

request platform software package install switch all file flash:iosname.bin

I have managed to get this somewhat automated through scripts, but would like to see if there is a fully automated through the firmware upgrade templates.

Same challenge here. We have a very large number of 9200/9300/9500 switches all in install mode. I have the firmware updater working with Bundle mode but I am facing this same challenge with Install mode. Running multiple jobs with no verification that an update succeeded or failed is not going to be an option, we need a solution that works as the Firmware Updater is advertised.

Why are you having trouble with post update verification?

Probably we need to submit a feature request but first we should narrow down the details.

I see that SK_Dave already has though again I would recommend more details to be added to it maybe.
(1) NCM: Firmwareupgrade template for Cisco Catalyst 9000 series - Feature Requests - Network Configuration Manager (NCM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

Not sure why you wouldn't be able to do post verification already by modifying an existing template.
