upgrade Switch Cisco 9200cx 12P

[Andreas Pommnitz]

I am new here and immediately have a small problem.

I have a Cisco Switch 9200 which has cat9k_lite_iosxe.17.09.03 as IOS.

But I need to install the cat9k_lite_iosxe.17.09.04.

But I get the error message:

is this stack ? or Only 1 switch?

can you post #dir  #show verion

worth save the config and try that command again ?

Is only 1 switch?

save the configuration and tried this command again, same problem

[balaji.bandi]

post #dir flash: #show verion

if you got downtime reload the switch and try install option

Error message means the process has paused because the config has not been saved.  Select "y" and the system will save the config and continue with the un-packing process. 

There is an explanation to this behaviour:  The raw command, "install add file usbflash0:cat9k_lite_iosxe.17.09.04.SPA.bin activate commit", can reboot the switch at the end of the process so it is ideal for the config to be saved first.
