Hi,
I have Catalyst 3850 stack, master in Bundle and member in install mode.
3850s-47#reload slot 2
Stack is in Half ring setup; Reloading a switch might cause stack split
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

I couldnt do it remotely, had to go there break the stack, console in, load the bundle mode and restack it again, issue resolved, but i couldnt do it remotely without reloading the master which i cant do., thanks.

Hi,
The software install command is not supported when the switch is running in bundle mode. Use the software expand privileged EXEC command to convert the switch from bundle mode to installed mode.

Thank you Reza,
I went through this document already, the example of converting is from Bundle to install, I need to make the change the other way around.
can you please provide an example on how to convert a stack member from install to bundle?

Hi,
I have never done this. So, I would be carful doing this in production.
How about:
software expand file flash-2....
In this case flash-2 is for switch-2

Copy the BIN file into the switch and change the boot variable string of Switch 1 to load the BIN file only.
