Introduction
This document shows how to replace a failed redundant supervisor module in Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. This document explains the procedure for the supervisor modules that run in Hybrid OS.
Prerequisites
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
Components Used
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
-
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
-
Supervisor Module: WS-SUP32-GE-3B

-
Catalyst OS (CatOS) 8.5(8)

Background Information
These are some of the important points related to redundant supervisor modules:
-
On the standby supervisor engine, the console port is inactive, the module status shows as "standby", and the status for the uplink ports is shown normally.
-
In order to allow you to control the booting of each supervisor engine separately, the configuration registers are not synchronized between the supervisor engines.
-
If the software versions of the two supervisor engines are different, or if the NVRAM configuration of the two supervisor engines is different, the active supervisor engine automatically downloads its software image and configuration to the standby supervisor engine.
-
The supervisor engines use two flash images: the boot image and the run-time image. The boot image filename, which is specified in the BOOT environment variable, is stored in NVRAM. The run-time image is the boot image that the ROM monitor uses to boot the supervisor engine. After the system boots, the run-time image resides in dynamic RAM (DRAM).
-
The redundant supervisor engines must be of the same type with the same model feature card. The WS-X6K-SUP1-2GE and the WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE, which are both without Policy Feature Cards (PFCs), are compatible for redundancy. For supervisor engines with PFCs, the PFCs must be identical for redundancy (two PFCs, two PFC2s, two PFC3As, two PFC3Bs, or two PFC3BXLs).
Step by Step Procedure to Replace the Supervisor Module - Same Hybrid OS
This section provides the step by step procedure to replace the Supervisor Module 32 in a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch. This example uses a Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch, which has two supervisor modules in slot 5 and 6. The supervisor module in slot 6 has failed. It is assumed that the failed supervisor module in slot 6 is removed from the chassis. You can see the procedure to add the new supervisor module into slot 6.
If you have an additional Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, you can connect the new supervisor on the switch and upgrade or downgrade the Hybrid OS to the same level as the supervisor in slot 5 of the production switch. If you have the same Hybrid OS in the new supervisor module, you do not need to configure anything on the new supervisor module. When you add the supervisor module into slot 6, the active supervisor engine automatically synchs the configuration. This section shows the step by step process and the checklist during the supervisor replacement.
This is the step by step procedure to replace the Supervisor Module 32 in a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch:
-
Add the supervisor module into slot 6.
If you have console connection to the supervisor at slot 6, you should see this output:

Step by Step Procedure to Replace the Supervisor Module - Different Hybrid OS
This section explains the step by step procedure to replace the Supervisor Module 32 in a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch. This example uses a Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch which has two supervisor modules in slot 5 and 6. The supervisor module in slot 6 has failed. It is assumed that the failed supervisor module in slot 6 is removed from the chassis. You can see the procedure to add the new supervisor module into slot 6.
If you do not have an option to upgrade the new supervisor hybrid OS to the same version as the active supervisor, you can perform this procedure to add the supervisor module and synchronize the Hybrid OS and the switch configuration. Most of the procedure is automated. This document shows the step by step process and the checklist to be performed during the supervisor replacement.

Insert the new supervisor module into slot 6.
You can see this log message in the active supervisor module:

Rename the Catalyst OS
You can see that the CatOS name in the replaced supervisor module starts with RTSYNC. You can leave the system to run as it is. You can also change the file name and keep it as a standard name as shown here:
Access2> (enable) rename RTSYNC_cat6000-sup32pfc3k8.8-5-8.bin
cat6000-sup32pfc3k 8.8-5-8.bin
Access2> (enable) dir

236900352 bytes available (19390464 bytes used)
Access2> (enable)
After you rename the file, you must change the boot variable.
