fail at Task: Executing dir flash on remote device

[declanrafferty]

Hi,

I'm testing upgrading a Cisco 3750 using cisco_upgrader but I keep getting a fatal failure at the Executing dir flash on remote device Task.

I'm trying to upgrade:

• from: c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE5.bin
• to: c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin

The output for the failure is:

TASK [im0.cisco_upgrader : check > Executing dir flash on remote device] ** fatal: [WS-C3750-48TS]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "dir flash:\r\ndir flash:\r\n ^\r\n% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.\r\n\r\nWS-C3750-48TS>"}

PLAY RECAP **** WS-C3750-48TS : ok=9 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=9 rescued=0 ignored=0

The output of dir flash: on the switch is:

WS-C3750-48TS#dir flash: Directory of flash:/

I can't find what is causing this failure. Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Sorted. Issue with commands trying to run in EXEC mode rather than Privileged mode. Added ansible_become=yes to host file and working now.

Hey @declanrafferty - sorry about the delay in reply. Great news! Glad to hear that you got it working. Perhaps a warning should be printed if priviledge mode is not adequate as the upgrade probably won't work either.
