Chapter 2 Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Cisco IOS Commands
To successfully use the archive copy-sw privileged EXEC command, you must have downloaded from
Note
a TFTP server the images for both the stack member switch being added and the stack master. You use
the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to perform the download.
At least one stack member must be running the image that is to be copied to the switch that has
incompatible software.
You can copy the image to more than one specific stack member by repeating the /destination-system
destination-stack-member-number option in the command for each stack member to be upgraded. If you
do not specify the destination-stack-member-number, the default is to copy the running image file to all
stack members.
Using the /safe or /leave-old-sw option can cause the new copied image to fail if there is insufficient
flash memory. If leaving the software in place would prevent the new image from fitting in flash memory
due to space constraints, an error results.
If you used the /leave-old-sw option and did not overwrite the old image when you copied the new one,
you can remove the old image by using the delete privileged EXEC command. For more information,
see the
Use the /overwrite option to overwrite the image on the flash device with the copied one.
If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the algorithm verifies that the new image is
not the same as the one on the switch flash device or is not running on any stack members. If the images
are the same, the copy does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is deleted, and the new
one is copied.
After copying a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new image,
or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive copy-sw command.
You can enter one or more of these options with the source-stack-member-number option:
/destination-system destination-stack-member-number
•
/force-reload
•
/leave-old-sw
•
/no-set-boot
•
/overwrite
•
/reload
•
/safe
•
If you enter the source-stack-member-number option before one of the previous options, you can enter
only the archive copy-sw source-stack-member-number command.
These are examples of how you can enter the archive copy-sw command:
To copy the running image from a stack member to another stack member and to overwrite the
•
software image in the second stack member's flash memory (if it already exists) with the copied one,
enter the archive copy-sw /destination destination-stack-member-number /overwrite
source-stack-member-number command.
To copy the running image from a stack member to another stack member, keep the current software
•
image, and reload the system after the image copies, enter the archive copy-sw /destination
destination-stack-member-number /safe /reload source-stack-member-number command.
