Migration Procedure for the MDS 9509 Director and MDS 9506 Director

Note Do not upgrade to NX-OS 4.1(1b) if a Supervisor-1 module is installed.

To use any Generation 3 8-Gbps module in an MDS 9509 Director or MDS 9506 Director, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the switch.

Step 2 Verify that the switch is running Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) by entering the show version command.

If the switch has NX-OS 4.x or higher installed, then Supervisor-2 module is already installed on the switch. Skip to step 7 to install any Generation 3 8-Gbps module.

Step 3 Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor module is in active mode and which is in standby module. Supervisor modules are installed in slot 5 and slot 6 on the MDS 9509 Director and MDS 9506 Director.

The following example shows the output of the show module command:

switch# show module
