    Hi evryone!

    How can i force the command "allow-unsafe-updates" / "allow-non-failsafe-updates"?

    What ever i've tried, i ended up by getting the prompt:

    "...

    This command will enable non-failsafe updates of programmable devices for
    the next minutes.  You will first need to wait for all line and fabric
    modules to reach the ready state, and then reboot the switch to begin
    applying any needed updates.  Ensure that the switch will not lose power,
    be rebooted again, or have any modules removed until all updates have
    finished and all line and fabric modules have returned to the ready state.

    WARNING: Interrupting these updates may make the product unusable!

    Continue (y/n)?

    ..."

    Thanks and greetings!

    Hi, it's not clear what the issue is. Did you answer (y)es to continue? I consider you passed a value on the command to specify the amount of time (say 30 minutes, as example) during which the allow will be valid.

    After the command is applied you can start the update procedure.

    Or...are you saying the command is not accepting your confirmation (yes) due to a particular switch or modules condition/status? if so, what is this blocking condition/status?
