SSI Boot Images

As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.0(2b), you can specify the SSI boot image for a Storage Services Module
(SSM) to configure Fibre Channel switching and Intelligent Storage Services (see
NX-OS Intelligent Storage Services Configuration Guide
Guide). Once you set the SSI image boot variable, you do not need to reset it for upgrades or downgrades to
any Cisco MDS NX-OS or SAN-OS release that supports the SSI image.
Note If your switch is running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2) or later, a newly installed SSM initially
operates in Fibre Channel switching mode by default.
Note If you downgrade to a Cisco MDS SAN-OS release that does not support the SSM, you must power down
the module. The boot variables for the SSM are lost.
