I'm working on updating IOS on a few switches, and am running into the following issue:
Switch#archive download-sw /overwrite /imageonly /no-version-check /destination-system 1 tftp://10.1.1.1/c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE10.tar
Could not buffer tarfile...using multiple downloads

%Error opening flash:update/info (No such file or directory)
ERROR: Image is not a valid IOS image archive.

Some of the switches are working and the others are displaying the previous error. I tried just copying the .bin files from my my PC (I'm running Solarwinds TFTP server) and I get the following error:
Switch#copy tftp flash1:

Again, some of the switches work, and others do not. They are primarily stacked switches with one or two individual switches.
We have found that rebooting the switches helps to resolve the problem, but that isn't exactly the ideal way of resolving the issue.
