Nondisruptive Migration From A Supervisor-1 Module To A Supervisor-4 Module - IBM SAN192C-6 Installation, Service And User Manual

Nondisruptive Migration from a Supervisor-1 Module to a Supervisor-4
Module
This topic describes the steps that are required to migrate both Supervisor-1 Modules to Supervisor-4
Modules for the SAN384C-6, SAN192C-6 and Supervisor-1E Modules to Supervisor-4 Modules for the
SAN768C-6 Multilayer Director.

Guidelines and limitations
Guidelines and limitations for a nondisruptive migration of both the Supervisor-1 Modules to Supervisor-4
Modules :
• The migrate sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-image > system <supervisor4-
system-image > command used for initiating the nondisruptive migration process is available only in
global config mode.
• Ensure that the Supervisor-4 Module is not inserted in the standby slot before initiating the migrate
sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-image > system <supervisor4-system-image
> command. If the Supervisor-4 Module is already inserted in the standby slot, the migration process
will be aborted and the Supervisor-4 Module will be powered down.
