I have 2 6513-E switches with Supervisor 2T modules.
They are in a VSS-SSO pair, and I need to upgrade the IOS from 15.1.1(SY) to the latest.
The documentation I am seeing does not take into account the E chassis or the Supervisor 2T, so I am a bit confused on how this is done (there is no slavedisk, etc.)
Anyone have an upgrade procedure for this setup?

Hi Colin,
The upgrade should be the same as any other upgrade on a VSS setup, the fact that you have SUP2T and E chassis should not change the procedure.
Hope this helps.

You got it. That is the easiest way to do upgrade a VSS pair specially if you effort to have 1/5 hour of down time. Copy the image to both bootdisk and salvebootdisk, set your boot variable, save the config and reboot.
You will be back in business is less than 15 minutes. Of course, you want a longer outage window just in case.

Hi,
The primary VSS device is bootdisk and for the stand-by it is slavebootdisk.
What the output of dir flash?

Ah OK
So I can copy the new image into both the bootdisk: and slavebootdisk:, modify the boot system statement, and the reload the chassis?
It will be done after-hours, so I can have some downtime.
