S4048-ON | image copy
Hi Everyone,
I have to copy the image from old switch to new switch. Both new and old switches are reachable but I am not able to find the image file in flash: but when I use command "show boot system stack-unit all" could see that current image.
show boot system stack-unit all
Current system image information in the system:
===============================================
Type Boot Type A B
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack-unit 1 FLASH BOOT 9.14(2.21)[boot] 9.14(2.9P1)
Wanted to copy the image 9.14(2.21) to new switch. Is there anyway to copy it from old to new switch or copy my current image into flash ?
earliest response much appreciated.

Hi,
Are the switch in stacked mode? If yes, the copy cannot work as the bottom stack management functionality will not work anymore, hence the copy will not commence.
But if you were to connect both switches' management port and they are able to communicate, you can use the #copy command:
#copy flash://filename.bin ?
flash: Copy to local file system ([flash://]filepath)
ftp: Copy to remote file system (ftp://userid:password@hostip/filepath)
http: Copy to remote file system (http://hostip/filepath)
nfsmount: Copy to nfs mount file system (nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath)
running-config Copy to current system configuration
scp: Copy to remote file system (scp://userid:password@hostip/filepath)
startup-config Copy to startup configuration
tftp: Copy to remote file system (tftp://hostip/filepath)
usbflash: Copy to local file system ([usbflash://]filepath)
