PowerBox pro cannot upgrade from 44.2 to 45.1

Thu Jul 04, 2019 12:36 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade my PowerBox Pro from 44.2 to 45.1. Seems to download ok and performs a reboot, but after that I'm still in 44.2. The flash storage seems full (15,9mb of 16mb are used) so I cannot do that manually.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to load the file to RAM memory, not to flash.

In files, put the file outside of flash folder. Make sure while the file is transferring, the flash memory used do not increase.

The last resource is always install it through NetInstall.

Regards.

strange, mine did work well, albeit it was an upgrade from 44.3 to 45.1
also included flash usage to see how much free space you usually ought to have with a clean setup. this one has almost literally no config in it:
/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 protocol-mode=none
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] speed=100Mbps
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] speed=100Mbps
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] speed=100Mbps
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] speed=100Mbps
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] speed=100Mbps
set [ find default-name=sfp1 ] advertise=10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full,1000M-half,1000M-full
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether4
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether5
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
/ip dhcp-client
add dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no interface=bridge1
/ip ssh
set allow-none-crypto=yes forwarding-enabled=remote strong-crypto=yes
/system clock
set time-zone-name=Europe/Budapest
/system identity
set name=1.icp
/system logging
add prefix=XXX topics=script,debug
/system routerboard settings
set auto-upgrade=yes

I did that thing with ram, but no luck. After reboot I'm still on 6.44.2. I should try net install, but that has some extra work and I don't want to pause working my setup.

And the files:

 3 flash/user-manager/sqldb                    file                                           80.0KiB oct/03/2018 01:22:26
 4 flash/user-manager/logsqldb                 file                                            6.0KiB oct/03/2018 01:15:14
Where did the flash space gone? Only 80KBs free. Is this (maybe) a reason for the upgrade miss-function??

My guess is that you'll have to perform netinstall.

Make sure you create and save configuration export (the text version of it) before doing it. I also suggest that you start configuring it starting from default setup ... specially firewall settings ... and only add needed functionality (not just blindingly copy over the old config).
