I attempted to upgrade a Cat6K on Sunday with little success, shame as the
5Ks worked a treat. If I show the steps below if anyone can point out where
I went wrong.
Here's the IOS version I started with: IOS (tm) c6sup2_rp Software
(c6sup2_rp-IS-M), Version 12.1(3a)E4
I wanted the load this version of IOS c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3 which is an IP
image.
I copied the image into the bootflash of the Cat6k, here's the file below:
CAT6k#sh bootflash:
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -date/time-- name
1 .. image6031AC06 206DF4 25 1600884 Aug 02 2001 18:36:39
c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-3a.E4
2 .. image1F7C0C69 C20430 22 8977828 Jun 19 2002 08:12:06
c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3
I didn't place it in the sup-bootflash as I didn't have room for both
images. Also I didn't want to erase an image I new that worked and then go
through the laborious process of copying files via xmodem if the new image
wouldn't load. Here's the file on the sup-bootflash
CAT6k#sh sup-bootflash:
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -date/time-- name
1 .. imageB3497649 8C4B74 23 8932084 Aug 02 2001 18:33:46
c6sup12-is-mz.121-3a.E4
To load the image I placed the following line in the config
boot system flash bootflash:c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3.
Saved the config and checked the bootvar and all seemed OK.
I reloaded the switch and got the following error on bootup
System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(1)

loadprog: error - on file open
boot: cannot load "bootflash:c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3"
Exit at the end of BOOT string

Any obvious mistakes in my approach?
