Updated seven PowerBeam M5-400's, two Rocket M5 XW/s, two Rocket M3 XM's, and a NanoBridge 5G25 (32Mb RAM)
So far, so good. All but 3 done over extended network. NanoBridge done locally.
First upgrades with the stable version 3.22.1.0 via remote:
2 nodes RBSXTsq-5HPnD: working ok
1 node hAP RB952Ui-5ac2nD: working ok but not at first shot... but at third time it goes well.
Locally upgrades 1 node hAP RB952Ui-5ac2nD but tunnel server reinstall needed make me sweat a bit... but it recover old configuration and all ok in no time.
I had trouble getting a rocket M2 upgraded. I tried twice from the UI (download firmware), and both times it rebooted with FW version 3.21.4.0. I then tried and uploading the firmware from my computer, and it was successful. Not sure if this is because of item 1 on the change log, because i did not get prompted that the file name was incorrect. So it may have failed a validation check silently. Note that I did not get prompted about the file name when it successfully updated either. Happy to dump the log or whatever if it would be helpful.
I'm experiencing this issue on a few other nodes as well. Here are my findings:
UBNT Rocket M2 XW = Problem - resolved by manual uploading
Nanostation M5 XM = Problem - left unresolved
Other Nanostation M5 XM = Worked
Mikrotik LHG-XL 5G = Problem - resolved by trying three times
Mikrotik LDF5 = Worked
gl.Inet AR300M = Worked
gl.Inet AR150 = Worked
other gl.Inet AR150 = Problem - resolved by trying two times
gl.Inet USB = Problem - resolved by trying two times
They were a combination of 3.21.4.0 and 667-7163819 firmware versions prior to the upgrade attempts. I didn't see a correlation between prior firmware and successful upgrades.
All devices have a relatively good link rf connection (lower than 1.8 ETX).
With the LHG-XL, I tried two times and it failed, and on the third attempt it worked.
I have left the NSM5 on the old firmware so that I can reproduce the issue if there is some testing I can do that would be helpful. Rereading the thread above, IZ5FSA said it didn't work on the first shot. This may have been what he was seeing as well.
Of the 14 nodes that I updated, a few required two or three tries. I don't even consider that a failure - that's just par for the course. My 14 nodes consist of:
hAP, Rocket M5 XM, Rocket M5 XW, Rocket M3, LHG 2G-HP, LHG 5G-HP, LHG 5G, GL-USB150, GL-AR750
I attempted 14 nodes. All but the 2 air routers updated correctly to the new stable release. All told were 5 baseboxes, 6 hapac, 1 ar750, 2 air routers. I guess the air routers lack enough memory to properly update. We plan to change out the air routers to hapac to solve the issue. Good job on the new stable.
