RE: cisco 6513 hybrid to native with dual SUP

Here is my "Affirmed" procedure (Pun intended)... total time, minutes... (Cisco's document is useless; get the tool though the new one, that converts your catos config... quite cool)

(from a change control form)

Implementation Tasks:
1.Backup all Catalyst Hybrid files, operating system, and config files to flash PCMCIA card
2.Obtain Release for Cat6000 native IOS, with Sup2/Msfc2 on PCMCIA Flash Card
3. Prepare configuration files for the system in Cisco IOS. This should be put on the PCMCIA flash card as well.
4.Perform code change procedure to IOS software detailed below on supervisor cards
5.Copy LIC core 2 ios-based configuration to sup2/msfc2 cards BEFORE shutting down.
6. Replace existing supervisor cards with new ios-formatted cards and reboot switch.
7. Verify configuration per enclosed steps

Task 1.

Backup system configuration files, and software images from catalyst OS, and MSFC IOS to tftp server.

Catalyst OS: telnet 10.101.3.11, write net, [y]
copy bootflash: cat6000-sup2.6-3-3.bin tftp

Catalyst IOS: telnet 172.24.1.93, copy run tftp, [y]
Copy bootflash: c6msfc2-psv-mz.121-11b.E4.bin tftp

Task 2.

Select stable 12.2 code i.e. s222-ipservices_wan-mz.122-18.SXF8.bin copy on flash disk.

Task 3.

<review attached configuration file>. Configuration file to be placed on pcmcia disk with software image.

Task 4 (to be done previously on 2 Spare Sup2/msfc2 cards).

Code change procedure
-Put PCMCIA card into "slot0:" in Primary Supervisor engine (to be upgraded first)
-in Cat OS set config register to 0x0
-boot into rommon
-clear boot variable to = (blank)
-boot from slot0:<native IOS>
-re-format existing CATOS file systems (format sup-bootflash; format bootflash) to IOS format
-copy native IOS to sup-bootflash:
-set boot system in MSFC to sup-bootflash:<native IOS>
-change config-register in IOS "config-register 0x2102"
-verify boot path & config-register, with "show boot", "show version"
-reload switch, verify boots into MSFC (with show version)
-load IOS configuration

Task 5 - copy ios based configuration to supervisor cards.
-copy disk0:LIC_6513_3FL-confg_NATIVE_IOS.cfg start
-verify "show start"

Subject: OT: cisco 6513 hybrid to native with dual SUP

Dears,

I am into migration activity from hybrid to native for our 6500 switches.
Have gone through cisco docs, utilities etc ..

Just wanna know if someone performed this and any advice. I am planning to
do the following.

Step1: Remove the standby SUP from the slot.
Step2: Backup of all images + config on the active SUP.
Step3: Config procedure from hybrid to native as specified in cisco doc.
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/81.pdf

This will hopefully migrate the active sup to native ios.

I have read in some site that we have to do the same for the standby sup? Is
that true? Or can I just plugin the standby SUP and hope that it will get
synched with the active SUP in terms of everything? I am very doubtful in
this approch.

Hope I would get some insights here from experts.

Thanks in advance.
Thameem
