install image /usr/local/ext/<platform specific xmod>secondary

Example:

X435-8P-2T-W.5 # install image /usr/local/ext/summitlite_arm-clone-1.2.3.3.xmod

X435-8P-2T-W.5 # install image /usr/local/ext/summitlite_arm-clone-1.2.3.3.xmod secondary

Standalone to standalone: Upgrade the switch to version 33.3.1 in both partitions before cloning the switch.

Standalone to stack (ZTP Stacking): Upgrade the switch to version 33.3.1 in both partitions before replacing or adding a node to a stack running version 33.3.1.
