Upgrade 08030r to 08080e BUT Active Switch Flash Free Space Zero

Hey Carlos, 

You will replace the image in primary or secondary flash, so no need to worry about flash space. 

My apologies on what was typed...web filter.  Anyway, I got some output from the switch stack to share.  My concern is switch #1 of the stack flash doesn't show close to what  switch #2 does once the   ......FI08080e_Manifest.txt all-images-pri is tftp to primary flash.  If I were to erase either the primary or secondary flash it'll no longer show Code Flash Free Space = 0 on switch #1.  Are there any commands I can use to verify the upgrade should go okay?  Or should I erase the primary flash and have the stack correct with 08030r first?  Thanks.

That output is a bit odd. It is showing 8080e there, but normally you see it how unit 2 is displaying. Maybe trying doing the normal method:

copy tftp flash  spz10114.bin boot
copy tftp flash SPS08080f.bin primary

'show flash' is what we use to confirm the image copied correctly.

Please note you should upgrade to 8080f rather than 8080e. If you upgrade to 8080e, you may have issues. All upgrades paths should look like this:

old code > 8080f non-ufi (what I used above) > 8090/8092 UFI (everything in one file)

Right now we are recommending 8090g.

The end goal is 8090f which I plan on going to within the same downtime window.  Do you still recommend 8080f as the interim step?  I performed the steps you recommended after erasing primary flash, but can't reload until a date is set in the near future. I'm unable to post the output maybe because of the Cloudfare security check.  Nonetheless, when I show flash it is the same as in my original post. 

Yes, you will need to use 8080f as an interim step. That is very odd. I don't think we will know if the flash is okay until you reload. I would probably try to have someone on-site just in case that flash has an issue. It will probably be fine as we can see the name there, but I could not say with certainty.
