update firmware on PC8024-k blade chassis stack?
I attempted to update the firmware on a PC8024-k 2 switch stack to 5.1.5.1. After the update this is what I get:
unit image1 image2 current-active next-active
---- ----------- ----------- -------------- --------------
1 5.1.2.3 5.1.5.1 image2 image2
2 5.1.5.1 5.1.2.3 image2 image2
According to this table, unit 2 will boot the old image next time it reboots; how can I change it?

I think you will find your answer in the firmware upgrade section of the Stacking Guide for the M8024-k, on page 43.
unit image1 image2 current-active next-active
----- ------------ ------------ ----------------- -----------------
1 4.2.0.1 4.2.0.2 image1 image1
2 4.2.0.1 4.2.0.2 image1 image1
3 4.2.0.2 4.2.0.1 image2 image2
4 4.2.0.1 4.2.0.2 image1 image1
The current-active column now shows the same values as the next-active column. The next step is to
activate the image that contains the new firmware. In this example, Units 1, 2, and 4 will need
image2 activated, and Unit 3 will need image1 activated. Perform the following commands.
console#boot system 1 image2
Activating image image2 ..
console#boot system 2 image2
Activating image image2 ..
console#boot system 3 image1
Activating image image1 ..
console#boot system 4 image2
Activating image image2 ..
Here is the link to the paper: http://bit.ly/WQOc2h
Hope this helps.

Thanks - I was using the documentation for updating a single switch. I didn't realize the update steps would be included in the stacking guide.
