Although the switch indicates that the bootflash check takes 30 minutes, it typically completes in
just a few seconds.
Once the bootflash check is complete on both the active and the standby supervisors, proceed with
the downgrade process.
The system health check bootflash command is available starting in NX-OS 4.1(1b).
On a system with at least one SSM installed, the install all command might fail on an SSM when
you downgrade from Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1 to any SAN-OS 2.x release earlier than SAN-OS
Release 2.1(2e). Power down the SSM and perform the downgrade. Bring up the SSM with the new
bootvar set to the 2.x SSI image.
Downgrade the SSI boot images on the SSMs on the switch to a release version supported by your
Cisco SAN-OS release. Refer to the
