Hi,
installed new image on 4 3850 stacks.
All of the stacks were configured with "boot system switch all flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.03.03.SE.150-1.EZ3.conf" when they were deployed.
From what I understand if using the "software install command" this config will be ignored and will always load the last image that was installed. And, that appears to be the behavior for 3 of the 4 stacks.
All stacks have a "boot system switch all flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.03.03.SE.150-1.EZ3.conf" but, when I do a show vers I see:
System image file is "flash:/packages.conf"
and
* 1 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
2 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
3 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
4 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
So, even though there is a boot statement, it appears that the switch ignores it and runs the latest in flash.
Except one of the switches does not show "System image file is "flash:/packages.conf"" in the show version output. It shows "System image file is "flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.03.03.SE.150-1.EZ3.conf"" but also shows "* 1 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL
2 56 WS-C3850-48P 03.06.06E cat3k_caa-universalk9 INSTALL" proving that the latest is being used.
Any explanation for this?
Why didn't the install process change the output to "System image file is "flash:/packages.conf""
Thank you, Pat
