Hi,
i would like to know when there is already a primary and secondary 720SUP in a 6509 , is there any requirement to configure SUP so as to when primary SUP goes down secondary SUP takes over? i thought its automatic....
regards

Yes, SSO is enabled by default on Sup720 with recent IOS releases.
From the documentation:
SSO establishes one of the supervisor engines as active while the other supervisor engine is designated as standby, and then SSO synchronizes information between them. A switchover from the active to the redundant supervisor engine occurs when the active supervisor engine fails, or is removed from the switch, or is manually shut down for maintenance. This type of switchover ensures that Layer 2 traffic is not interrupted.
In networking devices running SSO, both supervisor engines must be running the same configuration so that the redundant supervisor engine is always ready to assume control following a fault on the active supervisor engine. SSO switchover also preserves FIB and adjacency entries and can forward Layer 3 traffic after a switchover. Configuration information and data structures are synchronized from the active to the redundant supervisor engine at startup and whenever changes to the active supervisor engine configuration occur. Following an initial synchronization between the two supervisor engines, SSO maintains state information between them, including forwarding information.
During switchover, system control and routing protocol execution is transferred from the active supervisor engine to the redundant supervisor engine. The switch requires between 0 and 3 seconds to switchover from the active to the redundant supervisor engine.
