Chapter 5      Configuring Virtual Switching Systems
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on a VSS
Switch# show switch virtual
Switch mode                  : Virtual Switch
Virtual switch domain number : 16
Local switch number          : 1
Local switch operational role: Virtual Switch Active
Peer switch number           : 2
Peer switch operational role : Virtual Switch Standby

Verifying the ISSU State Before Beginning the ISSU Process
Ensure that both the supervisor engines are configured to auto-boot, and that they have currently been 
booted from the pre-upgrade image residing on the local file system. This is verified by the values of the 
BOOT variable and the configuration register (refer to the sample output of show redundancy command 
in the previous section).
Ensure that the active and standby supervisor engines are up and in ISSU Init state and that both 
supervisor engines are running the same current image.
The following example displays the ISSU state before the process begins:
Switch# show issu state detail
                               Slot = 1
                           RP State = Active
                         ISSU State = Init
                     Operating Mode = Stateful Switchover
                      Current Image = 
bootflash:cat4500e-universal.SSA.03.03.00.SGN1.33.151-2.SGN1.33.bin
          Pre-ISSU (Original) Image = N/A
         Post-ISSU (Targeted) Image = N/A
                               Slot = 11
                           RP State = Standby
                         ISSU State = Init
                     Operating Mode = Stateful Switchover
                      Current Image = 
bootflash:cat4500e-universal.SSA.03.03.00.SGN1.33.151-2.SGN1.33.bin
          Pre-ISSU (Original) Image = N/A
         Post-ISSU (Targeted) Image = N/A
Note that the Standby slot number is reported as 11, which is a Virtual Slot number that corresponds to 
physical slot 1 on Switch 2. The correspondence between the Virtual Slot number and the physical 
location of the slot can be determined using the show switch virtual slot-map command, as shown in 
the following example:
Switch# show switch virtual slot-map
Virtual Slot to Remote Switch/Physical Slot Mapping Table:
Virtual    Remote      Physical   Module
Slot No    Switch No   Slot No    Uptime
