I'm attempting to update the firmware on some 3750 stacked switches and I'm having trouble setting the boot variable on the secondary switches. I keep getting the following error:
%Command to set boot system switch 2 flash:c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin on switch=2 failed
I've transferred the .bin file to both of the switch's flash memory but only switch 1 is accepting the change.

you Device and you mentioned was 3750 and you have image loaded in the device 3750XXXX.bin
but you try to add 3560 boot valiable - correct it.
#boot system switch all flash:c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin
%Command to set boot system switch all flash:c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin on switch=2 failed
change to below :
c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin

You're right I had copied the command I was using for a different switch. Thanks!
