Configuring the SSI Image Boot Variable

The following steps describe how to configure the SSI image boot variable for Fibre Channel switching
and Intelligent Storage Services on the SSM on switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS release 2.0(2b)
through Release 2.1(1a) on the SSM.

Delete the unneeded files, if there is not enough space.
switch# delete bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mz.2.1.1.bin
The show module command output shows that the standby supervisor is in slot 6. Use the attach
command to access the supervisor module.

switch(standby)# delete bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mz.2.1.1.bin
switch(standby)# exit

Copy the boot image file from the FTP server to the bootflash: or slot0: device in the active
supervisor module. The following example shows how to copy to bootflash:
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), we recommend that you copy the image to modflash:
on the SSM.
switch# copy ftp://10.1.7.2/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
bootflash:m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
The system will automatically synchronize the SSI image to the standby supervisor if automatic
copying is enabled.
switch# config t
switch(config)# boot auto-copy
