I don't know about all platforms, but you CAN enter simultaneous configs sessions on 2501 and 12000 routers, I just tested it. What you cannot do is have simultaneous views of or writes to the startup-config (NVRAM), if you try you get; NCS_Test2501#sh start %% Non-volatile configuration memory is being accessed, Try again later SL-R12-01#sh conf %% Non-volatile configuration memory is being accessed, Try again later NCS_Test2501#wri startup-config file open failed (Device or resource busy)
On the 10K's the following message is given when simultaneous global configuration mode sessions are attempted: SP-R10-01#conf t Redundant RPs - Simultaneous configs not allowed:locked from doddsb on vty1 I am not aware of a command that you can issue that will tell you who is in config mode, "who" or "sh users" will tell you who is logged into the router but not what mode they are in.
