See the output as shown below. Step7 : Set New Image Set the boot system with the new image using the flash as shown below. Step8 : Boot Confirmation Check system boot to ensure the new file is set up as a boot file as shown below. Step10 : Check Version Check the Firmware Version after the switch reloads to confirm and ensure the switch has booted up on new firmware.
The Switch is upgraded to new firmware or IOS. Sometimes one or more members of a switch stack fail to upgrade to the new version of the firmware. The following is a sample CLI output for a valid license:. Step 6 Install licenses, if necessary, to ensure that the required features are available on the switch. Perform the following steps:. Use the show license host-id command to obtain the serial number of your switch.
The host ID is also referred to as the switch serial number. Tip Use the entire ID that appears after the colon :. Obtain your Claim Certificate or Proof of Purchase document. This document accompanies every Cisco MDS switch. The license key file is sent to you by email. The license key file is digitally signed to be used only on the switch for which it was requested. Step 7 Install the license key file when you receive it by email.
Install the license file by running the install license command on the active supervisor module, from the switch console. Note If you provide a target name for the license key file, the file is installed with the specified name.
Otherwise, the filename specified in the license key file is used to install the license. Exit the switch console. Step 8 Ensure that the required space is available in the bootflash: directory for the image files to be copied using the dir bootflash: command. If you purchased support from a Cisco reseller, contact them directly for more information. Step 9 If you need more space on the active supervisor module bootflash, delete the files that are not required to make space available:. Step 11 If you need more space on the standby supervisor module bootflash on a Cisco MDS Series Multilayer switch, delete the files that are not required to make space available:.
You are prompted to log in, use your Cisco username and password. Step 14 Enter the relevant details in this form, to obtain authorization. Step 17 Verify that the switch is running the required software version, using the show version command:. Step 18 Verify that your switch is running compatible hardware. Step 19 Perform the upgrade by running the install all command. The following example displays the result of the install all command if the system and kickstart files are specified locally.
This section describes how to perform nondisruptive upgrades on the following Cisco MDS fabric switches:. Before attempting to upgrade software images on the fabric switches, follow these guidelines:. Step 1 Verify that the system image files for the upgrade are present on the active supervisor module bootflash:. You can obtain the software image file from the Cisco.
Step 3 Ensure that the required space is available on the switch:. Step 4 If you need more space on the switch, delete the files that are not required:. Step 5 Save the configuration using the copy running-config startup-config command:. You can add a date reference to the. Step 6 Perform the upgrade by running the install all command:. Step 7 Log in to the switch:. Step 8 Run the show version command:. Step 9 Verify the status of the modules on the switch, using the show module command:.
Step 10 To display the status of a nondisruptive upgrade on a fabric switch, use the show install all status command. The command output displays the status only after the switch has rebooted with the new image.
All the actions preceding the reboot are not captured in this output because when you enter the install all command using a Telnet session, the session is disconnected when the switch reboots. When you reconnect to the switch through a Telnet session, the upgrade may already be complete, in which case, the output displays the status of the upgrade.
When a nondisruptive upgrade begins, the system notifies all the services that an upgrade is about to start, and finds out whether the upgrade can proceed. If a service cannot allow the upgrade to proceed immediately, for example, if Fabric Shortest Path First FSPF timers are not configured to the default value, or a Cisco Fabric Services operation is in progress, the service terminates the upgrade.
If such a situation occurs, you are prompted to enter the show install all failure-reason command to determine the reason why the upgrade cannot proceed. When the upgrade is in progress, if any failures occur, for example, if a save runtime state failure or module upgrade failure occurs, the switch is rebooted disruptively because the changes cannot be rolled back.
In this case, the upgrade fails, but you are not prompted to enter the show install all failure-reason command because the command does not yield any useful information. If you need additional information to determine why an upgrade is unsuccessful, you can obtain the details by using the show tech-support command output, and from the console output from the installation, if available.
The following section describes how to upgrade from a no payload encryption NPE image to a non-NPE image and vice versa. If the image file name does not include npe text, the image is a non-NPE image. To log in to Cisco. Enter your Cisco Systems user name and password. Step 2 Verify the following physical connections for the switch:. These procedures are specified in the hardware installation guide for the required product. Step 4 Issue the copy running-config startup-config command to store your current running configuration.
Step 5 Verify that the requested license files installed in the switch are displayed in response to the show license usage command. Note The switch is initially shipped with the required licenses installed in the system; however, the initial license file will not cover unlicensed features that may be used during the grace period. If no license is displayed at this point, perform Step 6 and Step 7 to install the required licenses. If the required licenses are displayed at this point, skip Step 6 and Step 7 and move to Step 8.
The example CLI output for a valid license follows:. Step 6 Install licenses if necessary to ensure that the required features are available on the switch. Use the show license host-id command to obtain the serial number for your switch. Tip Use the entire ID that appears after the colon : sign. Obtain your Claim Certificate or the Proof of Purchase document. The license key file is digitally signed to authorize its use only on the switch for which it was requested.
The requested features are also enabled once the NX-OS software on the specified switch accesses the license key file. Perform the installation by issuing the install license command on the active supervisor module from the switch console. Otherwise, the file name specified in the license key file is used to install the license. Step 8 Ensure that the required space is available in the bootflash: directory for the image file s to be copied using the dir bootflash: command.
If you purchased support through a Cisco Systems reseller, contact them directly for more information. Step 9 If you need more space on the active supervisor module bootflash, delete unnecessary files to make space available. Step 10 For switches with dual supervisor modules, verify that there is space available on the standby supervisor module bootflash on a switch.
Step 11 For switches with dual supervisor modules, if you need more space on the standby supervisor module bootflash on a switch, delete unnecessary files to make space available.
If prompted to log in, use your Cisco system user ID and password. Step 14 Complete the required forms to obtain authorization. Step 17 Issue the boot kickstart bootflash : filename and boot system bootflash : filename commands to change the boot variables to point to the new image. Step 18 Issue the show incompatibility-all system filename command to verify any incompatible hardware.
Step 19 Save the current running configuration to the startup configuration by issuing the copy running-config startup-config command. Step 20 Issue the show boot command to check the current boot variable. Step 21 Reload the switch by issuing the reload command.
To perform this downgrade, set the boot variables and reload the switch - this process is disruptive. The following example shows that the higher bandwidth capability is activated:. Step 1 Verify that the system image files for the downgrade are present in the active supervisor module bootflash:. Note If you need more space in the active supervisor module bootflash, use the delete command to remove the files that are not necessary, and perform Ensure that the required space is available in the active supervisor: and If you need more space in the active supervisor module bootflash, delete the files that are not required, to make space available:.
Step 3 Ensure that the required space is available in the active supervisor:. Step 4 If you need more space in the active supervisor module bootflash, delete the files that are not required, to make space available:. Step 5 Run the show incompatibility system image-filename c ommand to determine if you must disable the features not supported by a release earlier than release to be installed.
Step 6 Save the configuration using the copy running-config startup-config command:. Step 7 Run the install all command to downgrade the software:. Step 8 Run the show version command to verify the successful downgrade:. Step 9 Verify the status of the modules in the switch, using the show module command:. Command: more flash:packages. Proceedure Read the Release Notes very carefully. Copy the SMU file into the switch. Verify the SMU has been successfully installed. Next, rename the firmware.
Is this the target version? Make sure the config is stored somewhere else. Emergency-Install process can only be effectively achieved by using a USB thumb drive. Command: emergency-install usbflash0:filename. Latest Contents. Created by stanley. Hi, we are in the process in procuring the above model for our datacenter.
