SG500X Boot Code Update fails (Boot Code too old)

[cm.netatvision]

Hi,

I wanted to add an SG500X to an existing stack (Native stacked pure SG500X-Stack) and it always fails, all LEDs on, System LED blinking Amber (according to the Admin Guide this is Hardware failure).

The eventlog on the Switch says, that boot code upgrade failed to deploy on the new stack unit.

I tried manually to upgrade the boot Code to the version of the Stack, but it always fails with the error "Boot Code too old".

Current Version is 1.2.0 and I want to upgrade to 1.3.0.03, in the download portal there are no versions between that.

How can I get this Switch working with the stack?

Regards,

Chris

Managed to get this working: Switched back over to image 1 (1.2.9) and updated the boot code, worked like a charm.

Then switched back to image 2 (1.3.5).

Didn't try to add this unit to stack for now, but I think it'll work for now

Hi CM thanks for posting. I have also found it easier to load boot on earlier revision of software then upgrade later
