2-9Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 and 3032 for Dell Command ReferenceOL-13271-03Chapter 2 Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 and 3032 for Dell Cisco IOS Commandsarchive copy-swNote To successfully use the archive copy-sw privileged EXEC command, you must have downloaded froma TFTP server the images for both the stack member switch being added and the stack master. You usethe archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to perform the download.At least one stack member must be running the image that is to be copied to the switch that hasincompatible software.You can copy the image to more than one specific stack member by repeating the /destination-systemdestination-stack-member-number option in the command for each stack member to be upgraded. If youdo not specify the destination-stack-member-number, the default is to copy the running image file to allstack members.Using the /safe or /leave-old-sw option can cause the new copied image to fail if there is insufficientflash memory. If leaving the software in place would prevent the new image from fitting in flash memorydue to space constraints, an error results.If you used the /leave-old-sw option and did not overwrite the old image when you copied the new one,you can remove the old image by using the delete privileged EXEC command. For more information,see the “delete” section on page 2-100.Use the /overwrite option to overwrite the image on the flash device with the copied one.If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the algorithm verifies that the new image isnot the same as the one on the switch flash device or is not running on any stack members. If the imagesare the same, the copy does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is deleted, and the newone is copied.After copying a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new image,or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive copy-sw command.You can enter one or more of these options with the source-stack-member-number option:• /destination-system destination-stack-member-number• /force-reload• /leave-old-sw• /no-set-boot• /overwrite• /reload• /safeIf you enter the source-stack-member-number option before one of the previous options, you can enteronly the archive copy-sw source-stack-member-number command.These are examples of how you can enter the archive copy-sw command:• To copy the running image from a stack member to another stack member and to overwrite thesoftware image in the second stack member’s flash memory (if it already exists) with the copied one,enter the archive copy-sw /destination destination-stack-member-number /overwritesource-stack-member-number command.• To copy the running image from a stack member to another stack member, keep the current softwareimage, and reload the system after the image copies, enter the archive copy-sw /destinationdestination-stack-member-number /safe /reload source-stack-member-number command.
