Standby Supervisor Module Bootflash Memory

When updating software images on the standby supervisor module, verify that there is enough space
available for the image . It is a good practice to remove older versions of Cisco MDS NX-OS images and
kickstart images.
To verify the space on the standby supervisor using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Click Admin > Flash Files.
Step 1
Select the standby supervisor from the Partition drop-down list.
Step 2
At the bottom of the Flash Files dialog box, you see the space used and free space.

Generation 2 switching modules can be installed on all Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches, except
the Cisco MDS 9216 switch.
Generation 1 modules can be used with Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches. However, installing
Generation 1 modules in combination with Generation 2 switching modules in the same chassis
reduces the capabilities of the Generation 2 switching modules (see the
Generation 2, and Generation 3 Modules" section on page
Generation 1 and Generation 2 switching modules can be installed on Cisco MDS 9500 Family
switches with either Supervisor-1 modules or Supervisor-2 modules.
