SD Flash to Flash
In this scenario:
-
The switch is running a version of Cisco IOS XE 17.9.x or earlier and you want to upgrade to Cisco IOS XE 17.10.x or later.
-
Cisco IOS XE is running from SD flash and 17.10 or later images should run from flash.
-
After the procedure is complete, both the Cisco IOS XE image and the startup-config continue to boot from onboard flash.
Upgrade Procedure
-
Sync the running-config from SD flash to flash.
-
Download the Cisco IOS XE 17.10 or later image and keep the image in flash.
-
Configure the following commands:
-
no boot system
-
no boot manual
-
boot system flash:your-switch-universalk9.17.10.01.SPA.bin
-
boot flash-primary
-
-
Reload the system.
After reloading, the switch performs a bootloader upgrade, then boots Cisco IOS XE 17.10 or later from flash.
