If the revision numbers are the same then it won't hurt anything, just enter 
the command

Vtp mode server

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] VTP Server

Hi Marko,

Actually my new switch is already connected to the network with vtp client 
status and is getting all vlans from the existing vtp server.
And the config revision on both switches is same at the moment.

I am a little bit confused here, should I simply change the vtp mode from 
client to server on the new switch ?

Pls suggest if I am missing something else.

Cheers,
Farzad
