It is recommended that you enable port-fast on the Ethernet interface of the Catalyst switch to which the
Caution
management interface of the fabric switch is connected. This is to avoid spanning-tree convergence time
on the Catalyst switch and packets from the fabric switch are forwarded immediately during the
nondisruptive upgrade.
When selecting images during the upgrade, ASM-SFN and SSI are not supported on the Cisco MDS
Note
9124 Switch and the Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch.
Viewing the Status of a Nondisruptive Upgrade on a Fabric Switch
You can view the status of a nondisruptive upgrade using the show install all status command. Note that
the output shows the status only after the switch has rebooted to come up with the new image. All actions
preceding the reboot are not captured in this output because when you enter the install all command
using a Telnet session, the session is disconnected when the switch reboots. After you can reconnect to
the switch via a Telnet session, the upgrade may already be complete; in this case, the output will show
the status of the upgrade.
switch# show install all status
This is the log of last installation.
Continuing with installation process, please wait.
The login will be disabled until the installation is completed.
