[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960G "disk full error"

I upgraded 6 7960G's the other week, all at the same time, all starting with
year 2000 SCCP firmware on them.

You cannot upgrade these phones directly to SIP7.2.

Here is the successful path I've taken:

P0S30200.bin
P0S30203.bin
P0S3-03-0-00.bin
P0S3-05-0-00.bin
P0S3-05-3-00.bin
P0S3-06-3-00.bin
P003-07-0-00.bin (yes, you need to revert to SCCP for this time only)
P0S3-07-0-00.sb2
P0S3-07-2-00.sb2

Starting with version 7 of both SCCP and SIP, Cisco introduced Signed Binary
Files (sb2). The SIP 7.0 image for some reason will not update the loader.
Thats why you load on the SCCP 7 image first then SIP 7.

Remove the SEPDefault.cnf file. You don't need it. You only need OS79XX.TXT
and SIPDefault.cnf. Both of which should only contain 1 line.

Starting around firmware 6 or 7, the phone doesn't even look for OS79XX.TXT
anymore.

Henry,

Thanks!  This is a step in the right direction...

However, since it has P00* firmware on it, it never downloads
SIPDefault.cnf.  I guess I'll have to make SEPDefault.cnf as small as
possible then...?

The buffer is full on the 7960 because it keeps the old software along with
downloading the new software just incase the new software fails.  What I
have been doing is using a very generic SIPDefault.cnf and that allows
enough space to download the upgrades.

This is the SIPDefault.cnf I use for upgrades.  Once the upgrade is done use
your original SIPDefault.

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade my 7960G that I bought off ebay to SIP 7.2 firmware.
Apparently this phone had pretty old firmware on it... it's using
Application Load ID P003H310 (version 3.0.12 Call Manager).

I've setup both a UNIX and Windows (SolarWinds) tftp server, and acquired
firmware images for SIP 3.2, 4.4, 5.3, 6.3, and 7.2.

I set my OS79XX.txt contents to 8.3 filenames to download P0S3-03-2-00.bin
(renamed to 8.3 filename P0S30320.bin).

The tftp server successfully logs the connection from the phone, succesfully
downloads OS79XX.txt, and then starts to download P0S30320.bin.  After
391168 bytes of download (the file is 409k), the phone dumps the transfer.

So I installed ethereal on my windows server.  It shows that at packet 769
the cisco phone reports "Disk Full".

I looked into this and came up with these previous posts:

http://www.loligo.com/asterisk/Cisco/79xx/upgrading.79xx.phones
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-October/023021.html

However, since my phone firmware is so old I assume that I might need SIP
2.3 firmware to get this going.

In actuality, this is taking WAY more time than I had anticipated, so
finally I'm reaching out to anyone who has had old firmware like mine
(P003H310) and successfully upgraded it.

Thank you!

Andrew Edmond
