Quad-Sup 6509 VSS Supervisor Failure

superego

Hi all,

We had 2 supervisors 720 that got defective the same time in a quad-sup VSS 6509.

Here's the current module state:

Last switchover reason = none
Configured Redundancy Mode = sso

I read that for replacing the defective sups, CF card from the defective sup be moved to the replacement - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-virtual-switching-system-1440/117850-config-quadsupvss-00.html

Issue I have is defective sups has been sent back.  I got the 2 replacement supervisors upgraded to the same image in production in the lab.  I'm not able to test the installing of the replacement supervisors as we don't have quad sup in the lab.

My question is, do i just insert the replacement supervisors and config will be synced? What's the best way to approach this?

I'll be doing the change to install the replacement supervisor in the coming weeks.

Hi

you should have this already in your current config or similar

redundancy
 main-cpu
  auto-sync running-config
  auto-sync bootvar
 mode sso

Once that's there an sup is inserted and you run copy run start it should initiate a sync between the sups and bring it online ,
