Using 'Change tftp-server' commands for phone FIRMWARE

[Stewaro1]

Attempting to download firmware files to test in production environment phone by phone. Working on Avaya CM 6.3 Working with firmware files for 9611 & B189 version 6.6 & with new settings file May 2016. I have done ip-node name for tftp server. I have initiated command 'change tftp-server' with tar file in question. I get return error message 'file STatus: TFTP error: "File size larger than 100kb" ' (see attached)

I have uploaded by tftp a bin file to the CLAN designated in 'change tftp-server' command. However, when I indepently try and upload the .tar file I get a invlaid file error message.
QUESTIONS: Is this command still relevant for .tar firmware files?

Can .tar files be downloaded to individual phones for testing in production environment before deploying into main production for all phones?​

You have to download the .bin files to the phones.

IP Phones do not use TFTP to retrieve files.

old 4600s use TFTP, but I think that CM command is more to download card firmware or digital station firmware to a cabinet and update those components.

A DHCP and HTTP server would probably be more in line with what you need to update those phones.
