Migrating from Supervisor 2E Modules (N77-SUP2E) to
Supervisor 3E Modules (N77-SUP3E)
To migrate from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules, follow these steps:
Before you begin
• Before migrating from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules, note the following guidelines:
Step 1 Insert a USB drive in the usb1 or the slot0 USB port on the active supervisor 2E module. We will use the usb1 port for
the steps given below.
Step 2 Format the drive by using the format command.
switch(config)# format usb1
Step 3
Copy all of the VDC configurations for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy running-config command.
switch(config)# copy running-config usb1:configuration_file_name vdc-all
Step 4 Backup the installed licenses for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy licenses command.
switch(config)# copy licenses usb1:licenses_archive_file_name.tar
Note You must use the tar extension for the archive file. This file will contain all of the license files that were
installed on the Supervisor 2E module.
Step 5 Copy the Supervisor 3E version of the kickstart, system, and EPLD (optional) images to the USB drive by using the
copy command.
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-kickstart.8.3.1.bin usb1:
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-dk9.8.3.1.bin usb1:
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-epld.8.3.1.img usb1:
