Failure while expanding 16.9.5 on 3850 stack

[Flavio Boniforti]

Hi there.

I've tried upgrading from 16.3.6 to 16.9.5 on a 3850 stack but I get following error output:

us2sw01# file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.05.SPA.bin to flash:

Can somebody help track down the issue and solve it?

Thanks,

On 16.x you either have to copy the package to all members or specify "auto-copy" after the file name.
