• After removing the supervisor 2E module from the switch, you have to insert the replacement supervisor
3E module into the switch within a period of 30 minutes after using the
migrate sup kickstart
<sup3-kickstart-image> system <sup3-system-image>
command. In case you have not inserted the
supervisor 3E module within 30 minutes after using this command, migration is aborted and you have to
use the command again to reinitiate the migration process.
• After the supervisor 3E module is inserted in the slot, a timeout of 45 minutes is triggered for the supervisor
3E module to power up and come online. If the supervisor 3E module fails to power up and come online
at the first attempt, a retry is initiated every 15 minutes. In case the supervisor 3E module fails to come
online after 3 retries or 45 minutes, you have to remove the supervisor 3E module and restart the migration
process by using the
migrate sup kickstart <sup3-kickstart-image> system <sup3-system-image>
command.
