Upgrade Dell EMC Networking N3000E-ON Switches
Upgrade Stack of Dell EMC Networking N3000E-ON Switches – Advanced Version
Note on "copy" command from steps 2,3 and 4 in switch upgrade above:

"copy" command will take longer to complete with a stack of switches. This is due to the master switch
copying the software to the member switches. The master switch will display the line "Distributing the
code to the members of the stack!" for several minutes until the copy is done.

"copy" command will copy the software to all the switches as "backup" image
