How to delete the VSL config on 4507 switch pair

pwmsonpbs

Level 1

I have a 4507 switch pair I've been using in the lab and now need to return them to factory defaults.

I can't seem to get rid of the VSL portion of the config though.  The pair is no longer connected and I'm working from the serial console.

I have 'erase startup-config' on both and deleted all but the IOS image and license file from bootflash.

bootvar looks like this:

Switch#sho bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.04.03.SG.151-2.SG3.bin,12;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby not ready to show bootvar

Switch#

And I see this message during boot on both switches.

****************** CAUTION *******************
* No VSL port is configured or all VSL ports *
* are put in shutdown state.                 *
* This may cause Dual-Active mode of VSS.    *
**********************************************
Initializing as Virtual Switch ACTIVE processor

!!!

I have this remaining on the config too:

!
module provision switch 1
 chassis-type 68 base-mac C067.AFE3.F2C0
 slot 1 slot-type 399 base-mac C067.AF20.F220
 slot 2 slot-type 399 base-mac C067.AF3D.6288
 slot 3 slot-type 390 base-mac C067.AFE3.F2C0
 !
module provision switch 2

!

and

!
module provision switch 1
 !
module provision switch 2
 chassis-type 68 base-mac 885A.92D1.4700
 slot 1 slot-type 399 base-mac 885A.9268.D590
 slot 2 slot-type 399 base-mac C067.AF3D.60A8
 slot 3 slot-type 390 base-mac 885A.92D1.4700

!

It is a single supervisor 7E per chassis too.

What have I missed?

 

Thx,

Phil

Did you actually convert from VSS to stand alone before separating the switches?

switch convert mode ?

No, I did not convert before separating.

I will run the switch convert mode stand-alone on them both now.

 

Thanks!
