Thank you. These instructions worked well with our older 3850's.

Very well explained and useful. Thanks.

Thx for this video! I was wondering why the Switch took so long to boot. Putting it into Install Mode fixed it :D

In this video, the packages.conf is already present. You skip the part where the .bin file is converted to conf (or whatever needs to be done?)

If a 3 switch of stack all are already in install mode then can we set the boot variable with the ios image name .bin
Or still we have to use package.conf and then install command before reload
