Nick, When I went from 03.06.05E to the 3.3 pkg it was about 30 - 40 minutes. Once I rebooted into the 3.3 pkg, I had the command "software install file XXXX new force auto-rollback 10". It was after this step that I have the long wait. I really wish I didn't do the rollback as I cannot sit around waiting to type "software commit".
Are you saying that this long wait is NOT normal? Thanks, Christina ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Cutting" <[email protected]> To: "C.

It is the microcode (asic programming) that takes the longest time. I have never waited longer than 45 minutes - but that is on 3.x -> 3.x Denali is where they added MPLS, which is a major overhaul in this "slow part of the upgrade" - the ASIC programming -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christina Klam Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2018 3:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] Upgrading from 3.0.6 to Denali-16.3.5b This message originates from outside of your organisation. All, This is the second Cat3850 that I have tried to upgrade to Denali-16.3.5b. Both take hours to go from expanding the files to finishing. I am on hour two for the second switch. Except for interface status messages about my management port (Gig 0/0), there is nothing going over the console. I am just assuming that the upgrading is indeed happening. When I did the first switch, it took hours as well, so I will be patient. But I am not happy. Fortunately, I have the luxury that these two switches were/are not in production at the time of their upgrades. However, I will not have the luxury for the other 3850s. What is your experience with upgrading to Denali or Everest? This is beyond ridiculous.
