Anyone else successfully put two C9600's in VSS with SUP 2? QUAD SUP
I feel like I'm about to pull my hair out so I figured I'd come here to vent first. I was told to upgrade the IOS to 17.16.1, which isn't a starred release. And there's no starred release that supports QUAD SUP on a C9600 with SUP 2's. The only current starred release is 17.15.5.
First off, my standby sup does not take the upgrade. So show redundancy state shows the operational status of SSO as off. And I have to manually remove the blades and independently upgrade each supervisor.
Then I try to apply the standard VSS stackwise domain commands, which the switches take, and reboot. But they also reboot into this odd config, before after a few minutes resetting into the config I have set. The confreg and romvar values seem correct. 0x102.
Then I go to set the VSL links, my first chassis takes it without issue. My second chassis immediately crashes and reboots each time I try to apply this config. This happens regardless of whether they are physically connected to each other or not.
Is this just a buggy release? Do any of you have this running in VSS on 17.18.4?
I'm opening a TAC case on Monday regardless, because none of the documentation for setting up QUAD SUP is any different than setting up VSS on a 9500 pair.
