Hello Guys,
I am having WS-C4500X-32 which are deployed in VSS and i am planning IOS upgrade.
I have checked few community forums and cisco document and i am bit confused now, I found 2 options, can you please help to suggest which one is good?
Option1
1.Copy the IOS from the TFTP server to the active unit using the command "copy tftp://<TFTP IP address>/IOS_filename.bin bootflash:";
2. Copy the IOS from the TFTP server to the standby unit using the command "copy tftp://<TFTP IP address>/IOS_filename.bin slavebootflash:";
3. Remove the old boot variable string: no boot system flash
4. Change to the new boot variable string: boot system flash bootflash:IOS_filename.bin
5. Change the config-registry value to 0x2102: config-registry 0x2102
6. Save the config.
7. Reboot. ( will reboot from active switch will upgrade both active and member switch?)
Option2
Same steps but during reboot , need to use below
1)Standby switch will be reloading for IOS upgrade in standby device.
- redundancy reload peer
- show module (after peer come up)
we will verify current IOS in peer switch with show module command
2) Now master device will be reloaded for IOS upgrade.
- redundancy force-switchover
This will reload the active unit and force switchover to standby[confirm]
Any issues if do separate reload?
