Headline: After disruptive ISSU 7.1(0)N1(1)
to 7.1(0)N1(1a), primary vpc hap reset.
Symptom:
During a disruptive ISSU from 7.1(0)N1(1)
to 7.1(0)N1(1a) or a future release, there is an issue with vPC
hap reset.
Conditions:
In a vPC topology, both primary and
secondary switches are running 7.1(0)N1(1) image. A
disruptive upgrade to 7.1(0)N1(1a), or future release,
is performed on one of the vPC peer switches, while
the other is still running 7.1(0)N1(1) CCO image.
Workaround:
None.
Customers need to upgrade to the replacement image.
Downgrade both vPC primary and secondary
switches to an earlier supported release, and then perform an the upgrade
directly to 7.1(0)N1(1a) or later release.
Another option is to simultaneously perform the upgrade to 7.1(0)N1(1a), or later release, on both vPC
primary and secondary switches.
Disclaimer:
To increase availability, Cisco recommends that you upgrade
affected images with the suggested replacement software images as soon as they
become available.
The terms and conditions that governed your rights and obligations
and those of Cisco, with respect to the original software will apply to the
replacement software.
