Installing A Gigabit Ethernet Module (Gem); Migration Of Nodes From A First Generation Switch To A Second Generation Switch - Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX3 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing a Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM)

Installing a Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM)

Step 1
Clear the switch's current configuration by using the
Step 2 Power off the switch by disconnecting the power.
Step 3
Replace the current GEM card with the new GEM card.
Step 4 Power on the switch.
Migration of Nodes From a First Generation Switch to a Second
Generation Switch
You have first generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches that may or may not be comprising a virtual port
channel (vPC). You are migrating to second generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches using the same
cables.
First generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches include those switches that do not contain -EX, -FX, or
-GX in the product ID.
Second generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches include those switches that have the -EX, -FX, -GX, or
later suffix in the product ID.
To migrate the first generation switches to second generation switches, you must perform the steps in this
procedure.
To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables support this switch, see the

generation switches that you are migrating to any other switches in the fabric and wait for the Cisco
APIC cluster to become "Fully Fit."
1. Migrating from first generation Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) switches to second
generation Cisco ACI switches that are running the same software release.
2. Migrating from first generation Cisco ACI switches to second generation Cisco ACI switches that
are running different software releases.
The second migration path is required where the existing switches are not supported on the new
release that is required for the new switches. For example, if you want to migrate from the first
generation Cisco ACI switches, such as Cisco Nexus 9300 (with the -E suffix or without any suffixes
in the product ID) that are no longer supported starting on Cisco ACI switch 15.0(1) or later releases,
to some of the new switches that are supported only from 15.0(1) or later.
