So I have a 6500 VSS pair, Switch 1 Sup is my Secondary Active, and Switch 2 Sup(failed hardware) is my Primary Standby.
Switch 2 is operating with a higher role priority, as of right now Switch 1 is configured as a higher role.

My concern is if I put in my replacement supervisor in Switch 2 with his higher operating priority, but lower configured priority, will the Active Switch 1 supervisor boot? If the operational priorities were switches, meaning if they were as they are now configured, I wouldn't be worried. This would just be a straight forward failed secondary vss sup replacement. But with the operational priorities being the way they are I am worried it will be impacting.
