Chapter 5 Configuring Virtual Switching Systems
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on a VSS
This example shows how to reset and reload the current standby supervisor engine (slot 1) with the new
Cisco IOS XE software version. After you enter the commitversion command, the standby supervisor
engine boots in the Standby Hot state.
Switch> enable
Switch# issu commitversion 1 slavebootflash:new_image
%issu commitversion executed successfully
As in prior states, the show redundancy, show redundancy states, show issu state [detailed], and
show switch virtual commands can be used to verify that the VSS has reached the desired state.
At the end of the commitversion state, the ISSU process has completed. At this stage, any further Cisco
IOS XE software version upgrade or downgrade will require that a new ISSU process be invoked anew.
Using changeversion to Automate an ISSU Upgrade
This task describes how to use the issu changeversion command to perform a one step ISSU upgrade.
Please ensure that you have read Prerequisites to Performing ISSU, page 5-58, and implemented the
appropriate steps.
