Cat 9300 firmware not upgrading

[kalen4101]

Switch(config)# boot system flash:packages.conf
Switch(config)# exit
write memory

switch#install add file flash:cat9k_iosxe.16.09.04.SPA.bin activate commit

switch is currently using "cat9k_iosxe.16.09.02.SPA.bin"

 I've use the above on 2 other cat 9300 switches all using cat9k_iosxe.16.09.02.SPA.bin and both upgraded flawlessyly and are running cat9k_iosxe.16.09.04.SPA.bin right now.

 But the third switch I ran it once, reloaded and all the messages indicated it was successful. But "show ver" still shows it on the old firmware.

 So I ran it again, watching each step for a failure or error message, there is nothing. Every result says "successful". Am I missing something?

The file may have been corrupted during the transfer. So, try copying the IOS on to the flash again and than go through the same procedure.

1)First give # dir fash:

Check bin file is there in flash

2)if not give command

#

copy tftp://192.168.3.47/file name flash:

 it copy image from tftp server to flash

3)Then package installation

#request platform software package install file flash:<filename>

or

#request platform software package install switch all file flash:<filename> (check which one works)

then

#reload 

4)Then to clean software

#request platform software package clean

if it say used package may deleted the don't delete it else delete it.

OK, fails for

switch#request platform software package install switch all file flash:cat9k_iosxe.16.09.04.SPA.bin
--- Starting install local lock acquisition on switch 1 ---

Post the complete output to the following commands: 

sh boot
more flash:packages.conf | b CAT9

 So the solution was really quite simple. The first 2 switches I did

Switch(config)# boot system flash:packages.conf
Switch(config)# exit
write memory

and everything went great. But every switch after that failed. Well for some reason it worked in the first 2 switches but every switch after that it didn't and you got

show boot

BOOT variable = flash:cat9k_iosxe.16.09.02.SPA.bin;flash:packages.conf;

 Once I did 

Switch(config)#no boot system

Switch(config)# boot system flash:packages.conf
Switch(config)# exit
write memory

it worked perfectly fine
