I plan to do the following steps but this will mean down time to customer. IS there another way to do without downtime.
1. Remove SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 2
2. Convert SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 1.
3. Remove SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 1 and insert SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 2
4. Convert SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 2
5. Insert SUP2/MSFC2 in slot 1
OR
Is there a smarter way to do the conversion?

I did not make it clear in the previous post that my aim is to do hybrid to Native IOS conversion on a CAT 6500 that has two SUP2/MSFC2 modules.

Hi,
According to Cisco the answer is no, and i have always done this stuff as recommended by Cisco in order not to compromise my devices:
After the conversion you can use the Cisco EDI CatOS to IOS Configuration Conversion Tool:

Hi Friend,
If it was Upgrade from Native to Native with redundant sups we could have reduced a lot in downtime and it will be minimal but your situation is converting the complete file structure i.e from Hybrid mode to Native Mode and you will definetely encounter a downtime and it cannot be avoided.
