This example shows that the stack detected a new switch that is running a different minor version number
than the stack. Auto-copy launches but cannot find software in the stack to copy to the switch in
version-mismatch mode to make it compatible with the stack. The auto-advise process launches and
recommends that you download a tar file from the network to the switch in version-mismatch mode:
*Mar
state UP
*Mar
(VERSION_MISMATCH)

initiated for switch number(s) 1

Incompatible Software and Member Image Upgrades
You can upgrade a switch that has an incompatible software image by using the archive copy-sw
privileged EXEC command to copy the software image from an existing member. That switch
automatically reloads with the new image and joins the stack as a fully functioning member.
