Message Explanation and action
1 Flash read preparation failed. A flash error occurred during the

Check IP connectivity and make sure the

server, then delete it from flash. (Use the
erase flash... CLI command at the
Privileged EXEC level to erase the image
in the flash.)
If you are copying a configuration file to
flash, edit the file to remove unneeded
information, then try again.

Another TFTP transfer is active on another

Wait, then retry the transfer.

example, you might have tried to copy a
Chassis image into a Stackable device.
Retry the transfer using the correct image.
