Main Memory (RAM) Considerations

New firmware always has more features which in turn requires more resources. Growing firmware will thus consume both more flash and RAM for sure. A given system configuration will run flawlessly after a firmware largely only if there is still enough memory left after boot. As a rough rule of thumb, a v13r2 release will consume ~ 1 MB RAM and 0.4 MB flash more compared to a v13r1 firmware.

Standard configurations which are according to spec will run on all supported hardware. However, unusual configurations may not. It is a good idea to examine both flash and RAM memory left on high load situations in your existing configuration to see if there is enough resources left for an upgrade. Please find details in Reference:Device Health Check.

Flash Memory Considerations

New firmware comes with new code for new features which consumes more flash memory for the firmware image. For this reason, devices may run out of flash memory during upgrade to v12r2. Here is the recommended procedure for upgrade on such devices:

• save entire configuration
• reset to factory defaults
• load saved configuration (this will reorganize flash memory usage)
• upgrade to new firmware

When there is still not enough flash memory available to store the new firmware, the web GUI will issue a Firmwareupdate failed:no space during firmware upload. If the firmware upload is done using the update client, a Error 0x00130001 Major FLASHMAN0 no space event will occur.
