6500 Upgrade with Redundant Supervisor
Native Mode
Archivio blog
In this section, you are presented with the information to upgrade the software images on a Catalyst 6500
Series Switch with redundant Supervisor Engines that run in Native mode. ► 2017 (9)
It is recommended that a console connection be available for both Supervisor Engines for this procedure. ► 2015 (2)
The console port on the active Supervisor Engine is active and that on the standby Supervisor Engine is
inactive. ► 2014 (5)
Note: The images that this document uses are for example purposes only. Replace the images with the ► 2013 (34)
images that you use in your switch environment.

The module status of the standby Supervisor Engine in the show module command output is
different for the different redundancy modes for Native IOS:
Warm redundancy refers to a degree of resiliency beyond the cold standby system. In
this case, the redundant system is partially prepared. However, the system does not
have all the state information that the primary system knows for an immediate take-
over. Some additional information must be determined or gleaned from the traffic flow
or the peer network devices to handle packet forwarding.
Hot redundancy refers to a degree of resiliency where the redundant system is fully
prepared to handle the traffic of the primary system. Substantial state information is
saved, so the network service is continuous, and the effect on traffic flow is minimal or
nil in the case of a failover.
3. Verify the redundancy mode status from the active Supervisor Engine.

Redundant System Information :
------------------------------
Available system uptime = 8 hours, 32 minutes

The log enables you to capture a record of the session and compare the log to the steps in this
document, if you need to troubleshoot.
For example, in HyperTerminal, choose Transfer > Capture Text in order to log a console
session.
Refer to Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst Switches for more information.
6. Issue the copy start tftp command in order to back up the configuration.
If you back up the configuration, the file can serve as a reference after the upgrade. Refer to
Managing Software Images and Working with Configuration Files on Catalyst Switches for
more information on the use of the copy start tftp command to back up configuration files.
7. Verify that the Cisco IOS image (s3223*) required for the upgrade is on either Supervisor
Engine bootflash (sup-bootdisk: and slavesup-bootdisk:), or on the CompactFlash card
(disk0: and slavedisk0:) of both the Supervisor Engines.

8. Complete this step only if the Cisco IOS Software image (s3223*) is missing from either
Supervisor Engine bootflash (sup-bootdisk: and slavesup-bootdisk:) or on CompactFlash
card (disk0: and slavedisk0:). Step 7 determines the need for this step.
Note: You might need to format the CompactFlash if it has never been used before, or if it was
formatted with use of the CatOS Software algorithm. In order to format CompactFlash card on
a Supervisor Engine 32, issue the format disk0: command. You can also free up space as
necessary on the Flash devices. Issue the delete sup-bootdisk: filename or delete disk0:
filename command in order to delete the file.
Issue the copy tftp sup-bootdisk: command first, then the copy tftp slavesup-bootdisk: or
copy sup-bootdisk: slavesup-bootdisk: command in order to download the image to the
Supervisor Engine bootflashes. Or, issue the copy tftp disk0: command first, then the copy
tftp slavedisk0: or copy disk0: slavedisk0: command in order to download the image to the
CompactFlash cards.

Standby is up
Standby has 983040K/65536K bytes of memory.
Note: Before you reset the standby Supervisor Engine, make sure you wait long enough to
ensure that all configuration synchronization changes have completed.
Note: In order to run in RPR+ or SSO redundancy mode, image versions must be the same on
the standby and active Supervisor Engines. In these redundancy modes, the active Supervisor
Engine checks the image version of the standby Supervisor Engine when the standby
Supervisor Engine comes online. If the image on the standby Supervisor Engine does not
match the image on the active Supervisor Engine, the software sets the redundancy mode to
RPR while a software upgrade is performed, and sets it back to SSO when the software
upgrade is complete.

The old active Supervisor Engine in slot 5 reboots with the new image and becomes the
standby Supervisor Engine.
Note: Establish a console connection to the Supervisor Engine in slot 6 simultaneously when
the switchover is initiated from Supervisor Engine in slot 5.
Note: In middle of the software upgrade procedure, the operational redundancy mode is RPR.
This is evident from the show redundancy states command output shown in step 12. In RPR
redundancy, during switchover, all switching modules are powered on again. So there is be a
few minutes of downtime. During normal switchovers, if the operational redundancy is SSO, the
installed switching modules are not reloaded, as both the startup and running config are
synchronized continually from active to standby supervisor engine. The new active supervisor
engine uses the current configuration.
