SSM Issues
You can find the SSI boot images at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mds9000-ssi-3des
Step 4
If you need to obtain the appropriate SSI software image file, follow these steps:
a.
Download the SSI software image file from Cisco.com to your FTP server.
b.
If your SSM boots, then verify that you have enough free space available on the modflash: on the
SSM using the
dir modflash://
slot
-1/
command. The download site on Cisco.com shows the size of
the boot image file in bytes.
The following example shows how to display the available memory for the modflash: for the SSM
in slot 4:
switch#
dir modflash://4-1/

...
c.
If your SSM does not boot, then verify that you have enough free space available on the bootflash:
on the active supervisor module using the
dir bootlash://
slot
-1/
command. The download site on
Cisco.com shows the size of the boot image file in bytes.
The following example shows how to display the available memory for the modflash: for the SSM
in slot 4:
switch#
dir bootflash:

...
d.
Delete the unneeded files from modflash or bootflash if there is not enough space.
switch#
delete
modflash://4-1/m9500-ek9-ssi-mz.2.0.4a.bin
e.
Copy the boot image file from the FTP server to modflash or bootflash.
switch#
copy ftp://10.1.7.2/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
modflash://4-1/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
Note
If you are using bootflash to initially boot your SSM, you should copy the SSI image to modflash
after the SSM boots and set the SSI boot variable to use the image in modflash.
Using the install ssi Command
Use the
install ssi
command to update the boot image on an SSM. If the SSM is performing Fibre
Channel switching and no Intelligent Storage Services are provisioned on the module, this operation
does not disrupt traffic through the module. If the SSM is configured for Intelligent Storage Services, a
warning displays at the command prompt indicating that the operation will disrupt traffic and you are
then asked if you wish to continue.
