[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 firmware upgrade promblems

[Michael J. Tubby G8TIC]

All,

The thorny old issue of upgrading 7940/7960s again... here's the abridged 
version
of the info I've produced before:

a) Cisco's documentation is buggy - and I've told them!

b) You don't need an OS79XX.TXT if you use my upgrade route

c) I recommend that you upgrade a 7940/7960 which is in an unknown state
    to SCCP/Skinny version P00306000100 ie. 6.0(1) first then then over to
    the version of SIP you want, eg. 7.5(0) which is now current. This 
approach
    gets all the right bits in place for signed binary support and minimises 
the
    number of flash loads you need (and saves time :o)

d) attached is a little program (phonecfg.c) which is 70% documentation 30% 
code
    read it, and use it, for an easy life... do the following:

        - put relevant files and the program in your TFTP boot directory

        - make an XML config file for SCCP operation:

                    ./phonecfg -c <macaddress>

        - boot the phone and watch it upgrade

        - make an XML config file for SIP operation

                    ./phonecfg -s <macaddress>

        - boot the phone and watch it upgrade


I worked out what is _really_ going on using TCP dump and fixed it from
the ground up, rather than relying on buggy documentation.  This approach
"works for me"(tm) and will probably work for you too.


Regards


Mike

Thanks for the response and apologies for the delay in answering.  I got it
squared away but it took seven firmware upgrades (in the correct order) to
get there.  For anyone interested, the following firmware upgrade path 
worked
for me:

Cisco 7960 starting from factory installed P003AM30

P0S30200
P0S30203
P0S30300
P0S3-05-3-00
P0S3-06-3-00
P003-07-1-00
P0S3-07-2-00
