Hello All, 

I am trying to configure c9500-40x-E pair with IOS 16.08.1a for stackwise but I do not see the command line is supported. Could some one help me if i am missing some details and fix.

C9500 supports now Stackwise-Virtual as per the below document, depends on license you have, i believe you need network advantage to achieve this. what kind of License you have ?

Also consider looking Limitations and restrictions before deploying in live environment.

As per documentation you need network advantage.

I did some more testing and could observe that 16.6.1 code is supporting stackwise-virtual (stacking).

my question would be now: 

why it is not supporting in latest release ? any know bugs ?

Looks like you are mixing too many questions in one thread, so we are confused to answer.
