Command History
Usage Guidelines A switch in VM mode is a switch that has a different minor version number than the version on the switch
stack. A switch in VM mode cannot join the switch stack as a fully functioning member. If the switch
stack has an image that can be copied to a switch in VM mode, the auto-upgrade process automatically
copies the image from a stack member to the switch in VM mode. The switch then exits VM mode,
reboots, and joins the switch stack as a fully functioning member.
The auto-upgrade process affects only switches in VM mode. It does not affect existing stack members.
