3650 firmware upgrade problem

Hello I am trying to upgrade my stack of 5 x 3650 switches.

I am getting flash space free errors. How would you interpret the following logs.

Do they mean that I am lacking free space on switches 2-5 ? - therefore I need to manually free up space on those 4 switches ? Because before I ran the upgrade command it seemed that I had enough space in flash - but perhaps that was only referring to the primary switch in the stack ?

Hi,

You will need to free some space on all the switches. Try the following command:

 

"software clean switch 1-5"

 

Then try the upgrade again

 

 

thanks

John
