Installing MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Running Cisco SAN-OS 3.x

This procedure allows you to prepare your switch for the future installation of an MDS 48-port 8-Gbps
module or an MDS 9000 24-port 8-Gbps module. The procedure consists of the following tasks:
•
This procedure offers the following benefits:
•
•
•
To nondisruptively remove a MDS 9513 Fabric 1 module from the Cisco MDS 9513 Director and replace
it with a MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module, follow these steps:
Connect a PC to the console port on the active supervisor module and log in to the switch.
Step 1
Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor and its associated fabric module are in
Step 2
active mode.
The supervisor module in slot 7 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 1 slot and the
supervisor module in slot 8 is associated with the fabric module in the Fabric 2 slot.
The following example shows the output of the show module command, which indicates that the
supervisor in slot 7 is active and the supervisor in slot 8 is in standby mode.
switch# show module

8
Step 3 If the supervisor module in slot 7 is active, shut down the standby supervisor and fabric module by
entering the out-of-service xbar 2 command.
The following example shows how to shut down the standby supervisor and associated fabric module in
slot 2.
switch# out-of-service xbar 2
If the supervisor module in slot 8 is active, shut down the standby supervisor and fabric module by
Step 4
entering the out-of-service xbar 1 command.
The following example shows the output of the show module command and then shows how to shut
down the standby supervisor (in slot 7) and its associated fabric module in the Fabric 1 slot.

Replace the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules with MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules.
There is no service disruption. The installation of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules is nondisruptive,
and you can continue running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.x.
You have completed the MDS 9513 hardware upgrade.
You can schedule time for proceeding with the software upgrade and the installation of Generation
3 modules at a later time.
