This is for 6500 but you can try in 6800.

Reloading the Cisco Virtual Switching System and Its Members
It may sometimes be desirable to reload the entire system or to reset individual members of the Virtual Switching
System. You can perform these tasks through the console of the active virtual switch.
Reloading the Cisco Virtual Switching System
If you need to reload the entire Cisco Virtual Switching System (both active virtual switch and standby virtual
switch), the following command achieves this reload:
vss#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Reloading a Member of the Cisco Virtual Switching System
It may be more desirable to reload a member of the Cisco Virtual Switching System rather than the entire system.
You can accomplish this reloading in multiple ways.
You can reset the active virtual switch in two ways. First, you can issue the command redundancy forceswitchover,
which essentially forces a SSO or RPR switchover from active to standby, reloading the previous
active virtual switch in the process:
vss#redundancy force-switchover
This will reload the active unit and force switchover to standby[confirm]
Preparing for switchover.
You can also use the redundancy reload shelf command, where either Switch 1 or Switch 2 can be specified:
vss#redundancy reload shelf 1
Reload this shelf [confirm]
You also have two options to reset the standby virtual switch. First, you can use the same command as before,
replacing the switch ID with the switch ID of the standby virtual switch:
vss#redundancy reload shelf 1
Reload the entire remote shelf[confirm]
Preparing to reload remote shelf
Alternatively, use the command redundancy reload peer to reload the standby virtual switch:
vss#redundancy reload peer
Reload peer [confirm]
Preparing to reload peer

Hi,

If switch-1 is the primary device, there are 2 ways to do this:

1-redundancy reload shelf 1

2-redundancy force-switchover

The second option make switch-2 the primary device and reloads switch-1.

Hi,

actually that depends on which switch is Actvie and which one is standby.

by the way you can check that with commands like "#sh switch virtual" or "#sh redundancy states".

if you want to reload only the standby switch, you can use "#redundancy reload peer" command.

and if you want reload the active switch, you should force VSS to switchover from Standby to Active, with this command "#redundancy force-switchover".

Please rate if it was Helpful.
