We have a CAT9K with IOS-XE Version 16.8.1a
When I try to execute the upgrade commands for ISSU I get the below error:
FAILED: ACTIVATE operation is not allowed in SWITCHED_OVER state
Somehow I cannot seem to go around this issue (marked below in green) I googled my way around but I didnt find an answerd, maybe somebody can shed some light on this case. How to get it out active switched-over state ?
Its the only 9500 we have, the catalyst 4500 in VSS show different information under the the show issu state detail so I have also no compare information :).
FYI:
Before I issued the "activate issu" command (with my console port plugged into the Active switch)
I issued the install add file tftp://172.16.16.2/ cat9k_iosxe.16.09.01.SPA.bin

Here some information about the state of the current stackwise virtual:
