Hi Folks,
Does anyone know the process IOS XE upgrade to 9200 switches working in the stack?
Considering we've 6 stacks members, will we upgrade the ACTIVE member while others keep operational and then the other members will be upgraded one by one via the ACTIVE member? OR the 6 switches from the stack will upgrade at the same time causing unavailability during the upgrade process?
At the Cisco docs, I only found about "Auto-upgrade" feature which refers specifically to a new stack member added with software incompatibility on the current stack members.
Thank you!

When you upgrade the stack they reboot required, if not you see version mismatch and not work.
best approach to reboot stack after upgrade.

Dear Balaji,
I really appreciate your post and shared links!
It means we should be really careful to use the stack as the only redundancy because the requirement to have the reload all the switches in the stack AT THE SAME TIME after the upgrade process it's big penalty to the network.
Have a great week!

I realize I'm a little late to this party, but why can't Cisco implement a stacking technology where switches in the stack reboot in a rolling sequence? Similar to the way the Nexus platform treats FEX's??? Seems like it should be something relatively simple to implement.

Hi Poulid,
It's a good question, but I think only someone from Cisco can answer that. =)
