Changing switch boot path on 2nd,3rd switches in stack

grpsis222

Is there a way to change the boot path on the 2nd and 3rd switches in a stack of 3?  When I attempt,the "session-2" switch will not let 

me go into config mode. I can see the correct image file I would like to boot in flash already and have checked the md5 values too. I assume

there must be a way to do this from switch 1, but not sure. Here is flash of switch #2 in stack of three:

Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 10036 Feb 28 1993 19:04:35 -05:00 vlan.dat
3 -rwx 58495 Feb 28 1993 19:05:35 -05:00 config.text
4 -rwx 1915 Feb 28 1993 19:05:35 -05:00 private-config.text
5 -rwx 17303808 Jan 12 2016 10:11:50 -05:00 c3750-ipbasek9-mz.150-2.SE9.bin
6 -rwx 58319 Feb 28 1993 19:05:34 -05:00 config.text.backup
8 -rwx 5 Feb 28 1993 19:05:34 -05:00 private-config.text.backup
9 -rwx 3096 Feb 28 1993 19:05:38 -05:00 multiple-fs

Now, when I look at"show boot" of switch #2, it shows the following:

UAHs0401-2#sh boot
BOOT path-list : flash:/c3750-ipbase-mz.122-50.SE3.bin
Config file : flash:/config.text
Private Config file : flash:/private-config.text
Enable Break : no
Manual Boot : no
Allow Dev Key : yes
HELPER path-list :
Auto upgrade : no
Auto upgrade path :
NVRAM/Config file
buffer size: 524288
Timeout for Config
Download: 0 seconds

Any idea how I can get switches 2 & 3 to load the ipbasek9-mz.150-2.SE9.bin file ??

Thank you

On the master switch try:

boot system flash-2:ipbasek9-mz.150-2.SE9.bin

save config.

You would have to reboot switch-2 for the new IOS to take effect.

Thank you very much Reza, I feel like I should have been able to look that up, but did not see info anyplace. You have been great help.

Glad to help.

Sometimes is not easy to find the commands you need or is not clear in the documentations.
