3750 IOS Upgrade Issue

How do you change the boot statement on a member switch of a 3750 stack?

I downloaded the new version of IOS and it is sitting in the flash: memory of both switches, the master and the one member.

CSW01#

The problem is that the master is running the new IOS and the member is running the old one.

CSW01#sh ver

...

System image file is "flash:/c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4"  <---------new image

CSW01# sh boot

CSW01#sh boot
BOOT path-list      : flash:c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4.bin <------------------new boot variable

CSW01-2 is the member switch of the stack

CSW01-2#sh ver

System image file is "flash:c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4/c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4.bin"  <------old image

CSW01-2#sh boot

BOOT path-list      : flash:c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4/c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4.bin  <-------------old boot variable

CSW01#sh swit det
                                               Current
Switch#  Role      Mac Address     Priority     State
--------------------------------------------------------
*1       Master    0013.609b.2280     1         Ready
2       Slave     0012.0127.5300     1         Ready

While logged into the master switch, I changed the boot statement so that it would point to the new IOS, but it didnt change it for the member switch. How come? How can I change the boot variable for the member switch so that it will boot up with the new IOS that is already sitting in its flash" memory?

Thanks

Try using the following command:

boot system switch all flash:{IOS filename}

HTH,

Mark

Mark:

I thought of that but the command is not available.

CSW01#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
CSW01(config)#boot system ?
  WORD  pathlist of boot file(s) ... file1;file2;...

CSW01#(config)

Ganesh:

I read that link already. But there's nothing in it that answers my question.

Interestingly, though...although the new IOS is a .bin file and not a directory/.tar file, for some reason the file extension does not appear on the router.


A she ver shows this:

System image file is "flash:/c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4"

Also....

CSW01#dir all-files
Directory of flash:/

   The boot command has to be available from the stackmaster command line ,  Enter the boot statement , save it and reload your stack . As long as the new image is in both switches in the stack it should load the new one .

Switch(config)#boot system switch all flash:/
c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin

Switch(config)#exit
Switch#write memory

Glen:

Ive already been through this....

The command is not available from the stack master.....see my earlier posts...

Ive already read that link and it was suggested to me earlier, too...\\Thanks

Is the above image the one you are trying to install? is yes when did you download this image?  It is pretty old and currently not available on CCO for download.  The oldest image available is 12.2(35) and newest is 12.2(53).

Reza:

Youre right. I realized this a few hours ago. I knew from the release that it was old, but it wasnt until I saw the available downloads on CCO that I realized just how dated it is.

I didnt install this old version of code. I dont even know where the knucklehead who installed it got it from. Its not available for download.

Im sure that an upgrade to one of the later versions will fix the problem.

Thanks
