Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a 3750 stack with three switches. One of the members has a
file called "lslss". Do you know what it is used for ?. If it remains, I will not have
enough space to load the advanced ip image.
Directory of flash2:/
2 -rwx 676 Mar 1 1993 00:02:45 +00:00 vlan.dat
3 -rwx 27 May 18 2007 16:39:00 +01:00 private-config.text
5 drwx 192 Mar 1 1993 00:05:47 +00:00 c3750-i9-mz.122-20.SE4
90 -rwx 4207100 Mar 1 1993 15:04:18 +00:00 lslss
91 -rwx 23545 May 18 2007 16:39:00 +01:00 config.text
Thanks

Friend,
I did not see that file in any of our 3750 stack switches. Not sure where it came from.
Why don't you just remove the old image to upload the new one. That should free up space.
Is it necessary for you to have a both the images in flash?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The existing image is only 192K. The lslss file needs to be removed because the new image will not fit in the flash as well. The new image is over 4MB. There is not enough space both th enew image and the lslss file.

Byron,
you are wrong.. the existing image is not 192K. Actually it is a directory and hence you need to look into the directory to get the image size.
all directories have a prefix of "d" along with rwx.
Try these commands which will let you know the exact size of the ur existing image. you can then remove this image and load the new one
switch#cd c3750-i9-mz.122-20.SE4
switch#dir all
Here you should find the image which will have a .bin extension mostly c3750-i9-mz.122-20.SE4.bin
type "pwd" to know the present working directory, to go back one step use "cd" something similar to windows cli
Have a look at this link
HTH, rate if it does

Hi,
I thank you for your help. However, I am not wrong. The directory that you see contains the existing image. The image that I wish to copy is the advanced ipservices image. It is not listed in the flash because it will not fit due to it's size. I have upgraded many switches, routers, firewalls, etc..
I understand that you are trying to help. I simply want to know what the aforementioned files is.
Thank you for your help :)

Hi Narayan,
You are right about the directory but the existing image is just as small.
I did not even look at your local time. I am very gratefull that you are trying to help even though it is so early in the morning.

Bryon,
Can you post the contents of the directory?
No IOS is as small as 192k

Hi,
You are absolutely right. The lack of sleep is getting to me. I can delete the existing flash and load the new one. What would happen if I delete and replace the existing *.bin files with the new images from the stack members and reload without specifying an image to boot ?.

Hi,
I do not get the option to boot system switch all. I get the following:
Maidstone_Cat(config)#boot system ?
WORD pathlist of boot file(s) ... file1;file2;...
Maidstone_Cat(config)#boot system
Does this only happen after a tftp of ftp copy ?
The cat 3750 manual displays the following:
Switch(config)#boot system switch all flash:/
c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#write memory
Step 5 - Verify Before the Reload
Thanks

Can I just delete the old images from the stack members and copy the new images ?.
What would happen if I just reload the entire stack without specifying the new image ?.

Byron,
Once you load the new image, all you have to do is add this command
booyt system flash:c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin
The switch always looks for a file in the flash and will boot the one which is present.
Have a look at these links for stack upgrades
