Good Morning!
We have switch stack that consists of (2) 9300's. The stack was in bundle mode running 16.12.04.bin. We changed it to install mode that uses the package.conf file and now the version is 16.12.02.
16.12.04 is now an MD stable release.
In our downloads center, I dont see where I can download the package.conf file that would upgrade 16.12.02 to 16.12.04.
Ideas or suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

package.conf will be generated automatically, you no need to worry about that.
follow upgrade document from 12.02 to 12.04

I had some difficulties with the upgrade while in INSTALL Mode. I have the step where it errored and will share when I get back in the office in the morning.

keep us update also post the complete upgrade logs, we have done many but never encounter any issue.
but good to know if something new we can see here and advise.
make sure you have enough space in a flash before upgrade, remove any old images from the flash which is not required.

sh version sh boot dir

Had an office closure with Covid. I hope to be able to obtain additional information for you all in the morning!

It was my inability to follow the directions.
Here is what I did for a successful change from Bundle to Install
Verify the latest .bin IOS is on flash
sh run | inc boot
config t: no boot system flash: cat9k_iosxe_16.09.03.SPA.bin
config t: boot system flash packages.conf
Switch# install add file flash:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin activate commit
Enter Y
"Do you want to proceed" Enter Y
Approx 15 minute upgrade process
After upgrade
sh ver
Verify it says install and lists the latest software version you were trying to upgrade to
Removing old files
switch# install remove inactive
Enter Y when prompted

Did you need to apply the SMU?

There is a reason why I always sound like a broken record and recommend people to read the Release Notes.
9300 files, for 16.12.4, can be found HERE. See and evaluate if you need to apply the SMU.
WARNING:
Do not believe in the "Hitless" heading -- Some SMU will reboot the stack.

Hahaha!!! Seems like I have read your other posts where you mention that. And I know better to not check.
We are running 9300-48U-A switches so that doesnt apply to us...???
We havent been experiencing any of the problems listed.
Thanks Leo!!!
