Hi,
I`m having a small issue.
I`m assigned to upgrade a series of switch. All the switches are done. Except a few.
I notices that these switches are booted manual (Old IOS way) in bundle mode. I need these converted to instal mode.
I`f found a few Cisco document to do that. But the first command in the document does not work on the switch.
i also found an another topic here:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/12067331/3850-switch-ios-xe-upgrade-detailed-standalone
but the command
software expand running to flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.04.E.152-2.E4.bin
Does not work. the error i receive :
[1]: Expanding the running bundle
[1]: % Specified destination flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.04.E.152-2.E4.bin is not a directory. Operation aborted.
I did not found any other documents or solutions how to solve this thing.
Does anyone has a suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Try the command software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.04.E.152-2.E4.bin

Hi agapitca19,
I`f tryed all kind of commando`s.
This is the output of your suggestion:
Switch#software install file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.04.E.152-2.E4.bin
% Switch 1 must be running installed software to perform this operation
May be i need to replace the switch. I thinks it's faster :-)
any more suggestions?

It's up to you if you would want to find another switch and hopefully it's not in BUNDLE mode too :).
Try following the steps that Mandlenkosi Nkiwane did with the command software expand file flash:/ on this support thread https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12343626/how-installed-standalone-3850-switch-bundle-install-mode
