Ian it looks like your method is how it is done though it is not
documented anywhere! I have a 2 stack setup in the lab amd switch2 is
master:
C3750#sh switch
Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority State
--------------------------------------------------------
1 Slave 000f.8fd6.2180 1 Ready
*2 Master 000f.8f4d.aa80 1 Ready
I downloaded the .bin image onto the masters flash:
C3750#copy tftp flash:
Address or name of remote host []? 172.28.57.28
Source filename []? c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin
Destination filename [c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin]?
Accessing tftp://172.28.57.28/c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin...
Loading c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin from 172.28.57.28 (via Vlan64): !!!!
and then copied the image from flash to flash, flash:2 to flash:1 in
this case since the master was switch2.
C3750#copy flash2: flash1:
Source filename []? c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin
Destination filename [c3750-i5-mz.122-25.SE.bin]?
6206799 bytes copied in 133.153 secs (46614 bytes/sec)
If you had a .tar file previously loaded you will ant to delete it with
the delete /r /f filename to avoid having to conffirm the deletetion of
many .html files.
C3750-1#dir
