You can remove and replace a zl module whilst the system is live.
You can change module type as well, but you will have to remove the module from the config, which will remove all the port configs.
Command will be similar to:
remove module 3
And IIRC, VSF requires V3 modules only, which will require
no allow-v2-modules

Subject: Hotswap v2 to v3 line cards?
We are planning to setup VSF on a pair of existing 5400R switches, and part of that will be upgrading the line cards to v3. I know line cards are hot swappable but I am unsure if there are any extra considerations when switching to v3. Is it as simple as removing the old card, installing the new one, and moving the cables?
