Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image
The Cisco MDS SAN-OS software is designed for mission-critical, high-availability environments. To realize the benefits of nondisruptive upgrades on the Cisco MDS 9500 Directors, we highly recommend that you install dual supervisor modules.
Note
Use the following guidelines to nondisruptively upgrade your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b):

Note
Note
Performing a Nondisruptive Software Upgrade on Generation 1 Modules
Generation 1 modules may reload during a nondisruptive SAN-OS software upgrade because of the CompactFlash being unable to partition for the new code. If that happens, the installer aborts and reloads the module.
This issue affects the following modules:
•
•
•
•
This issue might be seen during an upgrade from Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(x), 3.1(x) or 3.2(x). It has been addressed for upgrades from SAN-OS Release 3.3(1) or higher. Therefore, you will not be impacted by this issue if you are running SAN-OS Release 3.3(1) when you upgrade to a higher SAN-OS release.
When this problem occurs, the module will automatically reload and may cause the Install All to stop, which will cause the upgrade to be unsuccessful. Error messages similar to the following may be displayed:
Install has failed. Return code 0x40930020 (Non-disruptive upgrade of a module failed).Please identify the cause of the failure, and try 'install all' again.Module 2: Non-disruptive upgrading.-- FAIL. Return code 0x40690009 (Error in downloading image for image upgrade).To avoid this kind of unplanned disruption, follow the methods for identifying and correcting this issue described in Cisco Field Notice 63099, before proceeding with the SAN-OS upgrade. This Field notice can be found under the Support, Products page for Cisco MDS9500 Series Multilayer Directors selection.
The caveat associated with this issue is CSCsm62295.
Upgrading with IVR Enabled
An Inter-Switch Link (ISL) flap resulting in fabric segmentation or a merge during or after an upgrade from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(x) to a later image where IVR is running might be disruptive. Some possible scenarios include:
•
•
•
If this problem occurs, syslogs indicate RDI failure and the flapped ISL could remain in a down state because of a domain overlap. This is caused by conflicts between the allowed domains list and the virtual domain requested through RDI.
This issue was resolved in an earlier release, however upgrades from Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a), 2.1(1b), or 2.1(2a) to Release 3.0(2b) when IVR is enabled requires that you use the following workaround.
For VSANS in interop mode 2 or 3, issue an IVR refresh, and then follow the upgrade guidelines listed in "Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image" section.
To upgrade from Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a), 2.1(1b), or 2.1(2a) to Release 3.0(2b) for all other VSANs with IVR enabled, follow these steps:

Step 7
If you are adding new switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(x), upgrade all your existing switches to Release 3.0(2b) as described in this procedure. Then add new switches.
Note
Selecting the Correct Software Image for an MDS 9500 Series Switch
The system and kickstart image that you use for an MDS 9500 Series switch depends on whether the switch is based on a Supervisor-1 module or a Supervisor-2 module, as shown in Table 3.
Use the show module command to display the type of supervisor module in the switch.
For a Supervisor-1 module, the output might look like this:
switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------......5 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 active*6 0 Supervisor/Fabric-1 DS-X9530-SF1-K9 ha-standbyFor a Supervisor-2 module, the output might look like this:
switch# show moduleMod Ports Module-Type Model Status--- ----- -------------------------------- ------------------ ------------......7 0 Supervisor/Fabric-2 DS-X9530-SF2-K9 active *8 0 Supervisor/Fabric-2 DS-X9530-SF2-K9 ha-standbyReconfiguring SSM Ports Before Upgrading to SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b)
Starting with Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the SSM front panel ports can no longer be configured in auto mode. Because auto mode is the default for releases prior to Release 3.0(1), you should modify the configuration of the ports before upgrading a SAN-OS software image prior to Release 3.0(1) to Release 3.0(2b) to avoid any traffic disruption.
For more information on upgrading SAN-OS software, see the "Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image" section.
If the configuration is not updated before the upgrade, the installation process for the new image will automatically convert all ports configured in auto mode to Fx mode. This might cause a disruption if the port is currently operating in E mode.
To make the configuration change without any traffic disruption, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# show interface fc 2/1 - 32fc2/1 is upHardware is Fibre Channel, SFP is short wave laser w/o OFC (SN)Port WWN is 20:4b:00:0d:ec:09:3c:00Admin port mode is auto <-------- shows port is configured in auto modesnmp traps are enabledPort mode is F, FCID is 0xef0300 <-------- shows current port operational mode is FPort vsan is 1Speed is 2 GbpsTransmit B2B Credit is 3Step 2

Migrating from Supervisor-1 Modules to Supervisor-2 Modules
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors support both Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2 modules. Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2 modules cannot be installed in the same switch, except during migration. Both the active and standby supervisor modules must be of the same type, either Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 modules. For Cisco MDS 9513 Directors, both supervisor modules must be Supervisor-2 modules.
Caution
Note
To migrate from a Supervisor-1 module to a Supervisor-2 module, refer to the step-by-step instructions in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
Configuring Generation 2 Switching Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors are designed to operate with any combination of Cisco MDS 9000 Generation 1 and Generation 2 modules. However, there are limitations to consider when combining the various modules and supervisors in the Cisco MDS 9500 Series platform chassis. The references listed in this section provide specific information about configurations that combine different modules and supervisors.
For information on configuring Generation 2 switching modules, refer to:

Performing a Disruptive Upgrade on a Single Supervisor MDS Family Switch
Cisco MDS SAN-OS software upgrades are disruptive on the following single supervisor Cisco MDS Family switches:
•
•
•
If you are performing an upgrade on one of those switches, you should follow the nondisruptive upgrade path listed in this section, even though the upgrade is disruptive. Following the nondisruptive upgrade path ensures that the binary startup configuration remains intact.
If you do not follow the upgrade path, (for example, you upgrade directly from SAN-OS Release 2.1(2b) to SAN-OS Release 3.1(2b)), the binary startup configuration is deleted because it is not compatible with the new image, and the ASCII startup configuration file is applied when the switch comes up with the new upgraded image. When the ASCII startup configuration file is applied, there may be errors. Because of this, we recommend that you follow the nondisruptive upgrade path.
New Features in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b)
This section describes the new features introduced in this release. For more information about the features listed, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
Note
There are no new features available for this release.
Limitations and Restrictions
This section lists the limitations and restrictions for this release.
Downgrading from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b)
Use the following guidelines to nondisruptively downgrade your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b):
•
•
•
•
–
–
–
•
•
•
•
–
–
–
•
Use the show install all impact downgrade-image CLI command to determine if your downgrade will be nondisruptive.
Downgrading from Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(1)
Following a downgrade from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(1) to an earlier SAN-OS release that does not support the Data Mobility Manager (DMM) feature that is offered from SAN-OS Release 3.2(1) onwards, you might have stale configuration information on the switch, if you had provisioned DMM on the SSM. In this situation, you can remove the stale configuration from the SSM by entering the following commands:
switch(config)# poweroff module slot
switch# purge module slot running-configiSNS
The iSNS client and server are not supported in this release.
Reconfiguring SSM Ports
Starting with Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the SSM front panel ports can no longer be configured in auto mode, which is the default for releases prior to Release 3.0(1). For instructions about how to modify the configuration of the ports before upgrading to SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b), see the "Reconfiguring SSM Ports Before Upgrading to SAN-OS Release 3.0(2b)" section.
CWDM SFPs
Some 2-Gbps CWDM SFPs do not have have speed capability encoded in EEPROM memory and they could negotiate and obtain synchronization up to 4-Gbps on modules that support 4-Gbps speed. As a result, the link comes up and appears to work, but then becomes disabled and connectivity problems occur. To correct this problem, both sides of the connection must have their speed fixed to 1- or 2-Gbps instead of Auto.
Maximum Number of Zones Supported in Interop Mode 4
In interop mode 4, the maximum number of zones that is supported in an active zone set is 2047, due to limitations in the connected vendor switch.
When IVR is used interop mode 4, the maximum number of zones supported, including IVR zones, in the active zone set is 2047. The limit for the maximum number of IVR zones per VSAN is 250 zones (two members per zone).
Configuring Default Settings for the Default Zone
Following an upgrade from any Cisco SAN-OS 2.x release to any Cisco SAN-OS 3.x release, the configuration defined by the zone default-zone permit vsan vsan-id command is applied only to the active VSAN. The configuration does not apply to unconfigured VSANs. In SAN-OS 3.x, you can apply the configuration to unconfigured VSANs by issuing the system default zone default-zone permit command.
Similarly, the zoneset distribute full vsan vsan-id command applies only to the active VSAN following an upgrade from any Cisco SAN-OS 2.x release to any Cisco SAN-OS 3.x release.
Although you can configure the default-zone settings in the setup script, these settings do not take effect for VSAN 1, because VSAN 1 already exits prior to running the setup script. To configure the default settings for the default-zone in VSAN 1, you must explicitly enter the zone default-zone permit command.
Caveats
This section lists the open and resolved caveats for this release. Use Table 4 to determine the status of a particular caveat. In the table, "O" indicates an open caveat and "R" indicates a resolved caveat.
