After this point, the migration process will be locked and you cannot cancel the migration process. The
migrate sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-image> system <supervisor4-system-image> command
checks if it has to initiate a single supervisor or dual supervisor migration process by checking if there is
a standby Supervisor-1 Module that is installed in the switch.
Note
In the following system message, Supervisor-1 Module (DS-X97-SF1-K9) is listed as Supervisor Module-3.
Note
This will start the Supervisor-3 to Supervisor-4 migration. Configuration will be locked until
migration is complete.

The following syslog is displayed:
<Tue Jun 25 15:06:56 2019> Starting migration, Please do not remove any linecards or fabric cards
until migration is complete
2019 Jun 25 15:06:56 switch %PLATFORM-2-MOD_PWRDN: Module 5 powered down (Serial number JAE194005JC)
2019 Jun 25 15:06:56 switch %PLATFORM-5-MOD_STATUS: Module 5 current-status is
MOD_STATUS_CONFIGPOWERED_DOWN
2019 Jun 25 15:06:56 switch %PLATFORM-5-MOD_STATUS: Module 5 current-status is MOD_STATUS_POWERED_DOWN
Step 6 After the standby supervisor module is powered down, replace the standby supervisor module with the new Supervisor-4
Module, as explained in the “Installing a Supervisor Module” section and the “Removing a Supervisor Module” section.
When the Supervisor-4 Module is detected in the standby supervisor slot, a netboot is initiated with the image that is
provided by using the migrate sup kickstart < supervisor4-kickstart-image > system < supervisor4-system-image >
command
<Tue Jun 25 15:06:57 2019> Manual-boot is enabled for Standby Supervisor
<Tue Jun 25 15:06:57 2019> Please remove Supervisor-3 (DS-X97-SF1-K9) module from slot 5 and insert
Supervisor-4 (DS-X97-SF4-K9) module within 30 minutes
2019 Jun 25 15:06:57 switch %PLATFORM-2-MOD_REMOVE: Module 5 removed (Serial number JAE194005JC)
In the following system message, Supervisor-1 Module (DS-X97-SF1-K9) is listed as Supervisor Module-3.
Note
2019 Jun 25 15:07:33 switch %PLATFORM-2-SINGLE_EJECTOR_STAT_CHANGED: Ejector's status in slot 5 has
changed, Ejector is OPEN
2019 Jun 25 15:07:34 switch %PLATFORM-2-MOD_REMOVE: Module 5 removed (Serial number JAE194005JC)
You have to insert the Supervisor-4 Module into the switch within a period of 30 minutes after initiating
the migrate sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-imag e>system <supervisor4-system-image> command.
In case you have not inserted the Supervisor-4 Module within 30 minutes after executing the commands,
perform the Step 4 to Step 6 again and continue the migration process.
Note
After the Supervisor-4 Module is inserted in the slot 5, a timeout of 45 minutes is triggered for the
Supervisor-4 Module to power up and come online. If the Supervisor-4 Module fails to power up and come
online at the first attempt, a retry is initiated every 15 minutes. If the Supervisor-4 Module fails to come
online after three retries or 45 minutes, you have to remove the Supervisor-4 Module and restart the
migration process by using the migrate sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-image> system
<supervisor4-system-image> command.
Note
Once the standby module is physically replaced, the following syslog message is displayed on the active
Supervisor-1 Module syslogs:
2019 Jun 25 15:07:57 switch %PLATFORM-2-MODULE_EJECTOR_POLICY_ENABLED: All Ejectors closed for
module 5. Ejector based shutdown enabled
2019 Jun 25 15:07:57 switch %PLATFORM-2-MOD_DETECT: Module 5 detected (Serial number :unavailable)
