How do you change the boot statement on a member switch of a 3750 stack?
I downloaded the new version of IOS and it is sitting in the flash: memory of both switches, the master and the one member.

CSW01#
The problem is that the master is running the new IOS and the member is running the old one.
CSW01#sh ver
...
System image file is "flash:/c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4" <---------new image
CSW01# sh boot
CSW01#sh boot
BOOT path-list : flash:c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4.bin <------------------new boot variable
CSW01-2 is the member switch of the stack
CSW01-2#sh ver
System image file is "flash:c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4/c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4.bin" <------old image
CSW01-2#sh boot
BOOT path-list : flash:c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4/c3750-i5-mz.122-20.SE4.bin <-------------old boot variable
CSW01#sh swit det
Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority State
--------------------------------------------------------
*1 Master 0013.609b.2280 1 Ready
2 Slave 0012.0127.5300 1 Ready
While logged into the master switch, I changed the boot statement so that it would point to the new IOS, but it didnt change it for the member switch. How come? How can I change the boot variable for the member switch so that it will boot up with the new IOS that is already sitting in its flash" memory?
Thanks

Try using the following command:
boot system switch all flash:{IOS filename}

I thought of that but the command is not available.
CSW01#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
CSW01(config)#boot system ?
WORD pathlist of boot file(s) ... file1;file2;...
CSW01#(config)
Ganesh:
I read that link already. But there's nothing in it that answers my question.
Interestingly, though...although the new IOS is a .bin file and not a directory/.tar file, for some reason the file extension does not appear on the router.
A she ver shows this:
System image file is "flash:/c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4"
Also....
CSW01#dir all-files
Directory of flash:/
2 drwx 64 Feb 28 1993 19:00:05 -05:00 crashinfo
4 -rwx 5620 Mar 12 2010 22:34:19 -05:00 config.text
5 -rwx 5494682 Mar 12 2010 16:56:19 -05:00 c3750-i5k91-mz.122-20.SE4 <---notice it is not a directory
6 -rwx 27 Mar 12 2010 22:34:19 -05:00 private-config.text

The boot command has to be available from the stackmaster command line , Enter the boot statement , save it and reload your stack . As long as the new image is in both switches in the stack it should load the new one .
Switch(config)#boot system switch all flash:/
c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#write memory

Is the above image the one you are trying to install? is yes when did you download this image? It is pretty old and currently not available on CCO for download. The oldest image available is 12.2(35) and newest is 12.2(53).

Youre right. I realized this a few hours ago. I knew from the release that it was old, but it wasnt until I saw the available downloads on CCO that I realized just how dated it is.
I didnt install this old version of code. I dont even know where the knucklehead who installed it got it from. Its not available for download.
Im sure that an upgrade to one of the later versions will fix the problem.
Thanks
