[c-nsp] 6500 Supervisor redendancy

[Edward Salonia]

While your mileage may vary I have has great success in doing this exact thing. RMA sups don't necessarily come with the same code as what you are running. Put the new sup in (same hardware, right?) and it should boot up into RPR standby cold due to the mid matched code. At this point copy the code from the flash of one sup to the other 'wr mem', check 'show red' to ensure config reg and boot var are correct and a 'redundancy reload peer' should do the trick.

Out of curiosity, what code are you running on this?

Also is your box configured for SSO mode currently and is running in simplex, or is it configured for RPR. If the latter, I think it may require a reload to change modes, but I don't recall.

Good luck.
