@gregorydahl hi, can you check if the OS file is not corrupted by verifying the MD5 with cisco download page. also make sure you have enough disk space in switch 2 .

I am upgrading (5) 3850, (4) of them running software IOs 03.06.XX and upgraded with this same file to 16.12.09.  Using the same USB drive for all five.  This fifth 3850 is running 16.06.06 giving me this error, I copied the file to the flash: twice.  I did the software clean with no issue.  If the storage space was the issue I would think the error message was referring to storage space.
