This example shows that the switch stack detected a new switch that is running a different minor version
number than the switch stack. Auto-copy starts but cannot find software in the switch stack to copy to
the VM-mode switch to make it compatible with the switch stack. The auto-advise process starts and
recommends that you download a tar file from the network to the switch in VM mode:

For information about using the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command, see the
with Software Images" section on page
Auto-advise and auto-copy identify which images are running by examining the info file and by
Note
searching the directory structure on the switch stack. If you download your image by using the copy tftp:
boot loader command instead of the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command, the proper
directory structure is not created. For more information about the info file, see the
Images on a Server or Cisco.com" section on page

Incompatible Software and Stack Member Image Upgrades

You can upgrade a switch that has an incompatible universal software image by using the archive
copy-sw privileged EXEC command. It copies the software image from an existing stack member to the
one with incompatible software. That switch automatically reloads and joins the stack as a fully
functioning member. For more information, see the
