Step 5 Install the MDS 9000 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized Fibre Channel module.

Step 6 Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide for information on how to configure the module.

Installing MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Running Cisco SAN-OS 3.x

This procedure allows you to prepare your switch for the future installation of an MDS 48-port 8-Gbps module or an MDS 9000 24-port 8-Gbps module. The procedure consists of the following tasks:

•Replace the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules with MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules. This procedure offers the following benefits:

•There is no service disruption. The installation of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules is nondisruptive, and you can continue running Cisco SAN-OS 3.x.

•You have completed the MDS 9513 hardware upgrade.

•You can schedule time for proceeding with the software upgrade and the installation of Generation 3 modules at a later time.

To nondisruptively remove a MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module from the Cisco MDS 9513 Director and replace it with a MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect a PC to the console port on the active supervisor module and log in to the switch.

Step 2 Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor and its associated fabric module are in active mode.

The supervisor module in slot 7 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 1 slot and the supervisor module in slot 8 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 2 slot.

The following example shows the output of the show module command, which indicates that the supervisor in slot 7 is active and the supervisor in slot 8 is in standby mode.

switch# show module
Mod Ports Module-Type	Model	Status

-------- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------

7	0	Supervisor/Fabric-2	DS-X9530-SF2-K9	ha-standby
8	0	Supervisor/Fabric-2	DS-X9530-SF2-K9	active *

Step 3 If the supervisor module in slot 7 is active, shut down the standby supervisor and fabric module by entering the out-of-service xbar 2 command.

The following example shows how to shut down the standby supervisor and associated fabric module in slot 2.

switch# out-of-service xbar 2

Step 4 If the supervisor module in slot 8 is active, shut down the standby supervisor and fabric module by entering the out-of-service xbar 1 command.

The following example shows the output of the show module command and then shows how to shut down the standby supervisor (in slot 7) and its associated fabric module in the Fabric 1 slot.
