stack 3750 IOS upgrade

[zhengsean]

we're doing the manual IOS upgrade for 3750 stack, copied the new ios image bin file to flash1 and flash, dir flash1: and flash:, thec3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin image files are there, but try to verify those bin files, below is what we got

verify /md5 flash1:c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin
%Error parsing flash1:c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin (Invalid argument)

but it did go through for flash2

verify /md5 flash:/c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin
....Done!
verify /md5 (flash:/c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin) = e267448c1455dc94d9fd761babb4db1a

so where did the file go on flash1, can i still set " boot system switch all flash:/c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin" and reload the stack?

Can you send the output of 'show file system' and see if you can see it in flash1: if you jsut do a dir on it.

If you can't try logging into the switch itself by running 'session X' where X is the switch number you are wanting to log into.  Once there try running the verify comamnd.

I'm able to session into sw1 and verify the file, dir flash: - am i still verifying the one under flash instead of flash1? we had the same circumstance before, can only verify the bin file under flash, but not flash1, after rebooting the stack, the firs switch couldn't boot up

Most likely because switch2 is the master.

This is why I never use the "flash:" because it can throw you off.  When you do a copy or archive transfer, always specify the switch number:  flash1:, flash2:, flash3:, etc.
