Stackwise Virtual issue on new 9500s

[acoustic5679]

I can't seem to get any of the stackwise virtual commands to come up. I have went through the required criteria Cisco states and I believe it is all good. 

Both switches in the Cisco StackWise Virtual pair must be directly connected to each other.

Both switches in the Cisco StackWise Virtual pair must be of the same switch model.

Both switches in the Cisco StackWise Virtual pair must be running the same license level.

Both switches in the Cisco StackWise Virtual pair must be running the same software version.

Both switches in the Cisco StackWise Virtual pair must be running the same SDM template.

All the ports used for configuring a StackWise Virtual Link (SVL) must share the same speed. For example, you cannot configure a 10G or a 40G port to form an SVL, simultaneously

Can anyone think of what I am missing?

Hi

"

• Cisco StackWise Virtual configuration commands will be recognised only on a switch running Network Advantage license. The configuration commands will not be recognised on a Network Essentials license"

[balaji.bandi]

you can use network advantage License boot level and test it :

config t

(config)#license boot level network-advantage
