That is now supported in Hybrid with 12.2(18)SXF and CatOS 8.5(1).

I agree. Native is nice, with only 1 config file to manage, it'll make
life simpler. But there are reasons to keep it hybrid. I don't think
native supports VTP v3 yet, which is needed to use VTP with VLANs
1025-4096. There are other ones as well. But on the flip side, you
need native to support the OSM modules. At least you did. Native tends
to have more of the newer features, like NSF/SSO, etc. Read the docs,
there are many, many things to consider...

I have converted couple of 6500 cat from hybrid to native.
It is not very troublesome , yeah it took around an hour when I did it
first
time.
But then it was fairly easy second time.
>From my experience I can say, native image is better and the main
reason I
like it was because the CLI is very very familiar in native mode.
The link below gives a good comparision between hybrid and native
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_ tech
_note09186a008010e9d5.shtml
I think cisco website , also had a option when we can put in our CAT OS
config and it gets converted to IOS.
Thanks

You guys must have read the old Cisco doc that took several pages to
hold
all the steps for the "old way". This was the first doc I used for my
first
conversion. However, a coworker who had the benefit of taking a Global
Knowledge class had the process condensed down to 4 or 5 steps and the
last
one we did took all of fifteen minutes. ;-0
I realize the talk about the lack of an MSFC and all and also he doesn't
have nearly enough RAM or flash so that conversation is moot I think. I
just wanted to mention that I bet I could upgrade 30 6500's in a day.

No MSF= no Native IOS. Also bear in mind that the coversion process is
fairly involved. From memory doing it remotely can be scary you
certainly
need out of band console.

My Name is Dharmendra Shah and I am in a dilemma that should I
upgrade to
Cat OS or IOS ? We have approximately 30 plus 6500 series Catalyst
Switches in our Head Offices and various remote corporate offices
spread all
over
US.
Currently the Cat OS version installed in these switches are 7.4(7)
or
7.6(7).
We are planning to upgrade the operating system of the switch.
I want to know if I should upgrade with the latest version of the
Cat OS
or
upgrade with the latest IOS of 6500 series switch.
I have heard that Cisco is encouraging people to go with the IOS for
6500
series switch rather then Cat OS.
Will the New IOS for 6500 series switch support all my latest
hardware
like
SUP1A-2GE , line card with PoE, Communication Module, etc.
Is the IOS as stable as that of Cat OS and does it support all the
functionality which are supported by the Cat OS like QoS, IP
TELEHONY etc.
I would also like to know which version of IOS / Cat OS I should
upgrade
to.
NOTE: We have 16 MB Flash & 64 MB RAM in all our Switches.
