What is the latest available AsyncOS Version for the IronPort C160

[Robert Sahmel]

Hello @ all,

i try to figure out if there is a AsyncOS 8.x update for the Cisco IronPort C160 available.
My Cisco C160 cluster is running the 7.6.0-357 AsyncOS version.

Greetings Robert

Latest GA is 8.0.1-023.

7.6.0-357 was a beta release, and you may not be seeing a proper upgrade path presented to the appliance.  When you run 'revert' - what is the previous version listed?

Hi Robert,

thanks for responding. When i run the revert command the Available versions are:

7.5.1-028

7.6.0-357

OK - thank you for checking.

So - you'll need to go back to 7.5.1-028, then upgrade as follows:

phoebe-7-5-1-028 --> phoebe-7-5-2-203 --> phoebe-8-0-1-023

This will get you back on track with a proper provisioning build.

I hope this helps!

Posting for continuity - had emailed direct w/ Robert...

Yes – just run the ‘revert’ - choose #1, or the associated # w/ 7.5.1-028 — this will de-grade the OS back to that version.  Once it is completed, and reboot finished – simply then run ‘upgrade’ and step through the upgrade process.  

This time – from 7.5.1-028, choose 7.5.2-203 first when running ‘upgrade’.  Once that upgrade is complete, and the appliance rebooted, re-run the ‘upgrade’ and choose 8.0.1-023 as the final upgrade, and complete/reboot.

does anyone know a way to find out which versions are available for which hardware?

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/email-security-appliance/products-release-notes-list.html

lists 8.5.5 as latest version, still our c160 is stuck at 8.0.1-023.

and this annoying

Error

—

No available upgrades.

doesn't make it much better. does it mean there's an error finding updates? or does it mean there's just nothing available, and no matter what that's classified as error? ;-)

8.0.1-023 is still the latest GA release.  If you are on that release, you won't see any of the FCS releases.  

Q: Are there any other releases available for AsyncOS?
A: Yes, FCS candidates are available for provisioning, but you must open a support case and request to be added to the FCS provisioning group.  Please see our other CSC blog posts for recent FCS release information.

I'll shoot you a DM and work with you to get your SN and info, if you are wanting to get 8.5.6-073?

I hope this helps!
