Verifying the ISSU State Before Beginning the ISSU Process

Ensure that the active and standby supervisor engines are up and in ISSU Init state and that both
supervisor engines are running the same current image.
The following example displays the ISSU state before the process begins:
Switch# show issu state detail
The new version of the Cisco IOS XE software must be present on both of the supervisor engines. The
directory information displayed for each of the supervisor engines shows that the new version is present.
Switch# dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/
61341696 bytes total (1111388 bytes free)
Switch# dir slavebootflash:
Directory of slavebootflash:/
61341696 bytes total (1116224 bytes free)

Ensure that the new version of Cisco IOS XE software image is already present in the file system of
both the active and standby supervisor engines. Also ensure that appropriate boot parameters
(BOOT string and config-register) are set for the active and standby supervisor engines.
auto-boot must be enabled for ISSU to succeed.
