Step 5 During the migration, enter “ y ” when prompted to do so.
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
will then check if it has to initiate a single supervisor or dual supervisor migration process by checking if
there a standby Supervisor-1 Module is installed in the switch.
Note
In the following system message, Supervisor-1 Module (DS-X97-SF1-K9) is listed as Supervisor Module-3.
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
Step 6 Insert the new Supervisor-4 Module, as explained in Installing a Supervisor Module, on page 113 and Removing a
Supervisor Module, on page 115. When the Supervisor-4 Module is detected in the standby supervisor slot, a boot from
a network (TFTP) server is initiated with the image that is provided by using the migrate sup kickstart <
supervisor4-kickstart-image > system < supervisor4-system-image > command.
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 the 30 minutes after executing the command,
you have to execute the command again and re-initiate the migration process.
Note
<Tue Jun 25 15:06:57 2019> Manual-boot is enabled for Standby Supervisor
<Tue Jun 25 15:06:57 2019> Please insert Supervisor-4 (DS-X97-SF4-K9) in slot
number: 6 within 30 minutes
After the Supervisor-4 Module is inserted in the slot, 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. In case 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
The following system message is displayed:
<Tue Jun 25 15:08:07 2019> Supervisor-4(DS-X97-SF4-K9) detected in slot 6.
<Tue Jun 25 15:08:12 2019> Reloading standby. This might take up to 15 minutes. Please wait

Standby Supervisor as part of Supervisor migration
Step 7 Wait for approximately 20 minutes for the new Supervisor-4 Module to come up in HA-standby state.
The following messages are displayed on the active Supervisor-1 Module:
<Tue Jun 25 15:10:13 2019> Standby supervisor not yet online. This will take some time.
Please wait...
<Tue Jun 25 15:12:13 2019> Standby supervisor not yet online. This will take some time.
Please wait...
2019 Jun 25 15:12:18 switch %SYSMGR-2-ACTIVE_LOWER_MEM_THAN_STANDBY: Active supervisor in
slot 5 is running with less memory than standby supervisor in slot 6.
