Configuring Virtual Switching System (VSS) between a Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 9500 is not supported, as VSS requires two switches of the same model and hardware family. Both switches must also run the same version of software that supports VSS.

The Catalyst 4500 and 9500 are different series and are incompatible for forming a VSS pair. for 9500 series supports Stackwise feature which similar as VSS

VSS is only supported when both units are identical models.  

NOTE:  VSS and Stackwise Virtual are the same meaning.  The only difference between the two is the OS:  VSS is for classic IOS while Stackwise Virtual is IOS-XE.
