Configuring Virtual Chassis<br />

Virtual Chassis - ISSU<br />

Virtual Chassis - ISSU<br />

Upgrading a virtual chassis can be performed by uploading the new images to the Master chassis and<br />

rebooting the entire virtual chassis. Prior to rebooting the Master will copy the new image files to the<br />

Slave and once the virtual chassis is back up the entire virtual chassis will be synchronized and running<br />

with the upgraded code.<br />

The standard procedure is as follows:<br />

1 Connect to the Virtual Chassis using the VC-EMP IP address.<br />

2 Upload the new images to the Master chassis.<br />

3 Reboot the entire virtual chassis<br />

4 The new images are copied to the Slave chassis prior to rebooting and the entire virtual chassis is<br />

synchronized when it comes back up.<br />

Virtual Chassis - Upgrading with ISSU<br />

The In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) feature is used to upgrade a Virtual Chassis with minimal<br />

network disruption. Each switch can be upgraded individually without requiring the entire Virtual Chassis<br />

to be rebooted at the same time.<br />

The ISSU upgrade overview:<br />

1 The Virtual Chassis will first verify that it is in a state that will allow a successful ISSU upgrade.<br />

2 It will then copy the images and configuration files of the ISSU specified directory to the Slave chassis<br />

and reload the entire Slave chassis from the ISSU directory. The Slave chassis reloads with the new image<br />

files.<br />

3 When the Slave has rebooted and rejoined the Virtual Chassis it is now using the new image files. The<br />

Master chassis is now reset which causes the Slave chassis to become the new Master chassis.<br />

4 When the original Master chassis reloads it comes back as a Slave chassis. To restore the role of<br />

Master to the original Master chassis the current Master can be rebooted and the original Master will takeover,<br />

assuming the Master role.<br />

Performing an ISSU Upgrade<br />

Note. The example below uses a directory named ‘issu_dir’. However, the directory can be any userdefined<br />

directory.<br />

1 Ensure that the Virtual Chassis is fully synchronized and certified.<br />
