I am planning to upgrade a standalone 3650 switch running in 16.3.7. The new image is 16.06.09. I will do it remotely via ssh.
Which of the steps below will be the ideal approach? Step 1 to 9? or Step1 to 6?
Please also correct for any mistake.
The Step1-9 is for a 3650 stacked switches, Can I also follow it for standalone 3650?

WS-C3650-48TD 16.3.7 CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9 INSTALL
****************************************************************************************************************
Step 1: Ensure you have enough space in flash
#request platform software package clean switch all file flash:
Step 2: Copy the IOS image from FTP Server
#copy ftp://<username>:<password@10.X.X.X/cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.09.SPA.bin flash
Step 3: Confirm the image has been successfully copied to flash.
#dir flash:*.bin
Step 4: MD5 check after FTP transfer.
#verify /md5 cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.09.SPA.bin <md5 hash>
Step 5: Software Install Image to Flash
#request platform software package install switch all file flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.09.SPA.bin new auto-copy
Step 6: After you have successfully installed the software, verify that the flash partition has five new .pkg files and one updated packages.conf file.
#dir flash:*.pkg
#dir flash:*.conf
Step 7: After you have successfully installed the image, you no longer need the.bin image. If you copied the file to flash
#dir flash:*.bin
#delete flash: cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.09.SPA.bin
Step 8: Reload the switch.
#reload
Step 9: When the new image boots up, verify the new image
#show version

1. Before you start, make sure to clean up the flash with the following command:
request platform software package clean switch all
2. Use the following command to unpack the firmware with the following command:
request platform software package install switch all file flash:IOS_filename.bin on-reboot new auto-copy verbose
3. After the firmware has unpacked the files, use the following command to verify the package.conf contains the correct files:
more flash:packages.conf | begin CAT9
4. Make sure the boot variable string is pointing to the packages.conf:
sh boot
5. Schedule a reboot:
reboot at <hour>:<minutes> <day> <month>
6. After the switch has successfully rebooted, do not forget to clean the flash:
request platform software package clean switch all
Good luck and hope this helps.
