Upgrading Memory for Supervisor 1 Modules
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Supervisor 1 modules use either 4 GB or 8 GB of memory. For switches
that have two supervisor modules, each module must have the same amount of memory so that it can
provide redundant services for the other. In order to use 8 GB of memory, a switch must be running Cisco
NX-OS Release 5.1 or later release. If the switch is running an earlier release of Cisco NX-OS, the
supervisor modules must have only 4 GB of memory installed.
Note
The Cisco NX-OS software may require 8 GB of memory, depending on the software version you use
and the software features that you enable. If your switch has Supervisor 1 modules with only 4 GB of
memory, then you might need to upgrade the modules to 8 GB of memory by using the 8 GB supervisor
upgrade kit (N7K-SUP1-8GBUPG=). This upgrade is not needed for switches that have at least 8 GB of
memory (which includes Supervisor 1 modules with 8 GB and all Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E
modules).
To determine the amount of memory installed in the active supervisor, use the
show system resources
command as shown in
Example 10-1
. To determine the amount of memory used by the standby
supervisor module, use the
system switchover
command to make that module active and then use the
show system resources
command. This example shows the output for the
show system resources
command, which shows 4115768K (4 GB) of memory usage.
Example 10-1 Determining the Amount of Memory used by the active supervisor module.

The following guidelines can help you determine whether or not to upgrade an existing Supervisor 1
module:
•
When the switch memory usage exceeds 3 GB (75 percent of total memory), we recommend that
you upgrade the memory to 8 GB.
•
If you create more than one VDC with XL mode enabled, or if you have more than two VDCs, 8 GB
is required.
