PSU upgrade to WS-CAC-6000W

[arvind rana]

I am having 6513 running on "s72033-psv-mz.122-17d.SXB1.bin"

It has the following modules...

Mod Ports Card Type                              Model             

--- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------

  1   16  SFM-capable 16 port 1000mb GBIC        WS-X6516A-GBIC    

  2   48  48 port 10/100/1000mb EtherModule       WS-X6148-GE-TX    

  3   48  48 port 10/100/1000mb EtherModule       WS-X6148-GE-TX    

  4   48  48 port 10/100/1000mb EtherModule       WS-X6148V-GE-TX   

  7    2          Supervisor Engine 720 (Active)         WS-SUP720-3B 

I am going to upgrade the existing PSU to "WS-CAC-6000W"

I have following concern that I want to confirm

1. As per the link..

   http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/product_data_sheet0900aecd801c5c84.html

    It is suggested to upgrade the image to 12.2(17d)SXB.

    Is it feasible to use existing ios "12.2(17d)SXB1" with "WS-CAC-6000W". Would there be an issue with kind of power mode I am using.

  I don't want to reboot my switch.

2. With kind of modules I am using, would there be any outage to any module if I replace PSU one by one.

     Will these modules survive with one PSU.

   I have some servers attached to this one switch and I don't want to have any kind of outage.

Existing PSU....

#show power

will provide soon

Also let me know for any specific output required here.

Thanx

Avrind,

You need to read the spec again.

Software Compatibility

Cisco IOS® Software Release: • 12.2(18)SXD and later • 12.1E: not supported Cisco Catalyst OS: • 8.4(1)

You need to upgrade to 12.2.18SXD or later to support this PUSU.

You will need a reload to use the new IOS.

A mantenance downtime window will be required.

Regards,
Alex.
Please rate useful posts.

Alex,

Yes, it is clearly mentioned to upgarde the IOS however I don't want to reboot the switch.

I don't have enough time to get necessary approval thats reason,I don't want to upgrade it.

Currently it is running in rundandent mode and I have seen that someone upgraded the PSU with same image I have.

That image forced it to be in combined mode.

I can understand that that will surely hit me too. 

1. I cann't use the redundent mode

2.  If  I continue with combined mode, it will affect in future.

As links says ... https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2070718

"Power supply is removed with redundancy disabled(combined mode)

• System log and syslog messages are generated.

• System power is decreased to the power capability of one supply.

• If there is not enough power for all previously powered-up modules,

some modules are powered down and marked as power-deny

in the show power oper state field."

  It probably won't even recognize it if you don't upgrade the code first.

Thanks my friend.
