How to Perform the ISSU Process
Note
The new active supervisor engine is now running the new version of software, and the standby supervisor
engine is running the old version of software and is in the standby hot state.
Switch# show redundancy states
Redundancy Mode (Operational) = Stateful Switchover
Redundancy Mode (Configured) = Stateful Switchover
Communications = Up
client count = 88
client_notification_TMR = 240000 milliseconds
Once Runversion has completed, the new active supervisor engine will be running the new version of
software and the previously active supervisor engine will now become the standby supervisor engine.
The standby will be reset and reloaded, but it will remain on the previous version of software and come
back online in standbyhot status. The following example shows how to verify these conditions:
