3850 software upgrade

[bruce.thornton]

I have a Ws-C3850-48P stand alone that I'm trying to upgrade. The current image is:

cat3k_caa-platform.SPA.03.07.03E.pkg.

I'm trying to upgrade to :

cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin

When I try the switch install command the operation fails, see below:

Switch#$stall file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin
Preparing install operation ...
[1]: % Failed to determine package type for file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin, operation aborted

Anyone have ideas as to a fix for this.

Hello Bruce

Could you please provide the following output?

Old post but I figure if someone searches they can quickly see what worked for me...  I too got that same message.  I entered "switch 1" at the end and it kicked off without issue.  note this is a single switch with no others provisioned...

Switch#software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06
Preparing install operation ...
[1]: % Failed to determine package type for file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06 (file not found on the server), operation aborted

full command example with "switch 1" at end:

Switch#software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.10.E.152-2.E10.bin switch 1
Preparing install operation ...
