Installing the SSI Boot Image
• MSM-18+4 Multiservice Module
• MDS 9222i Module-1 Module
The SSM supports normal Fibre Channel switching and Intelligent Storage Services. To use Fibre Channel
switching and Intelligent Storage Services, you must install an SSI boot image on the SSM.
Note A newly installed SSM initially operates in Fibre Channel switching mode by default.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
2. Enter the dir modflash://slot-1/ command to verify that the SSI boot image file corresponding to your
Cisco MDS NX-OS release is present on the active supervisor module.
3. If the file is not present in bootflash: or the modflash:, follow these steps:
4. Enter the install ssi command to install the SSI boot image on the SSM.
5. Enter the show module command to verify the status of the SSM.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 2
Enter the dir modflash://slot-1/ command to verify that the SSI boot image file corresponding to your Cisco MDS
NX-OS release is present on the active supervisor module.
For example, if your switch is running Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), you must have m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.4.1.1b.bin in
modflash: on the SSM. To determine the correct SSI boot image to use, refer to the
Compatibility Matrix for Storage Service Interface

Step 3 If the file is not present in bootflash: or the modflash:, follow these steps:
1 Enter the dir modflash://slot-1/ command to ensure that there is enough free space for the SSI image file. If necessary,
enter the delete modflash://slot-1/filename command to remove files.
2 Download the appropriate SSI boot image file to your FTP server and copy it from an FTP server to modflash: on
the SSM:
switch# copy ftp://10.1.7.2/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.4.1.1b.bin
modflash://4-1/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.4.1.1b.bin
Step 4 Enter the install ssi command to install the SSI boot image on the SSM.
As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(2), if the SSI boot image is located on bootflash: the install ssi command
Note
