    I tryed to upgrade from Firmware Version: 5.2.0r3.0 to ns5gt.6.2.0r2.   As I go to Update and then drop down to ScreenOS/ Keys I select Firmware Update (ScreenOS) and browse the file.  Then I hit Apply and I get this Error:

     

    Shared memory size [9437184] is too small for file size [11131651]

     

    What does this mean?

     

    How can I upgrade to the new OS?

     

    Thanks

    reset

     

    Not sure if you still need this or are looking for something else. I am in my office all day today if you need any other assistance.

    Never saw that error before. 5.2 is a very old release. One suggestion - upgrade from 5.2x to 5.4 and then try and upgrade to 6.2 - it may just be to big a "jump" though there is nothing in any release notes that I recall about that.
