I have uploaded a new image c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin
show flash:
I used the "boot system switch all flash:c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin" command to set the software on all members of the stack, but it did not set the variable with the new software on all units. So I did it manually:
boot system switch 1 flash:c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin
boot system switch 2 flash:c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin
boot system switch 3 flash:c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin
boot system switch 4 flash:c1000-universalk9-mz.152-7.E10.bin
You can see that only Active Member has updated.
Do you have any ideas why this happened? I also tried unplugging one unit from the power supply however that didn't help either. I also reset the stack members one by one, but also with no effect.

The behaviour is not "unusual" because someone updated the stack by manually "copying" the BIN files.
This is not a recommended process nor is it a best practice either.
The most effective way is to use the TAR file and use the following command
archive download-sw tftp://<TFTP_IP_ADDRESS>/filename.tar
With the above command, the process will:
1. Distribute the BIN file across all switch members;
2. Correctly change the boot variable string; and
3. Perform an MD5 hash check to make sure the BIN file is not corrupt.

Has anyone had a similar problem?
Do you think updating from a .tar file will be a better idea than from a .bin file?

I tested this during today's service window. It works.
