Configure the SSI image boot variable to specify the SSI image to use when the ASM or SSM reloads.
Step 4
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# boot ssi bootflash:m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.1a.bin module 4
switch(config)# exit
Note
Caution
Issue the show boot command to display the current contents of the SSI variable.
Step 5
switch# show boot
sup-1
kickstart variable = bootflash:/boot-2-0-1-9
system variable = bootflash:/isan-2-0-1-9
sup-2
kickstart variable = bootflash:/boot-2-0-1-9
system variable = bootflash:/isan-2-0-1-9
Module 4
ssi variable = bootflash:/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.1a.bin
Save the new boot variable configuration so the new boot image is used when the switch reboots.
Step 6
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Note
Reload the ASM or SSM to load the new boot image.
Step 7
switch# reload module 4
reloading module 4 ...
The reload command power cycles the ASM or SSM.

You can only specify one image for the SSI variable per module.
The SSI boot variable must reference the correct SSI boot image, otherwise the SSM fails to
initialize. If you do not correctly set the SSI boot variable, the SSM remains in the
power-down state after attempting to initialize three times.
If you do not save this configuration, it is lost on a switch reboot. In addition the ASM or SSM
stays in the power-down state if your switch is running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or
earlier. You must perform this procedure again to recover the SSI image boot variable
configuration.
Reloading the ASM or SSM disrupts traffic through the module.
