Preparing for a Manual Installation

To prepare any Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch for a manual software installation, follow these steps:
Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 1
Create a backup of your existing configuration file, if required (see the
Step 2
Configuration" section on page
Step 3 Copy the software image from an SCP location to one of two targets: bootflash: or slot0:.
The switch remains operational while the image file is copied.
•
•
Verify that the file was copied in the required directory.
Step 4
switch# dir bootflash:

Ensure that the software images are not damaged or corrupted in the saved bootflash: file system.
Step 5
When copying a new image to your switch, confirm that the image was not corrupted during the copy
process.
Use the show version image command to verify that the required image was copied successfully.
switch# show version image bootflash:kickstart-image

Bootflash device (SCP defaults to the bootflash device)—Copy the software image file from the
appropriate SCP file system to the bootflash: file system.
switch# copy scp://server_IP_address/destination_file_name
For example:
switch# copy scp://user@10.1.7.2/system-image bootflash:system-image
The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch does not have an external CompactFlash (see the
Note
Configuration Files" section on page
bootflash: file system to copy and verify files.
CompactFlash device—Copy the software image file from the appropriate SCP file system to the
CompactFlash device in slot0: file system.
switch# copy scp://server_IP_address/file_name_in_SCP slot0:system-image
You can also copy the image onto a new flash disk from a PC and insert it in slot0: in the Cisco MDS
9500 Series switch. After you copy the image and insert it into the slot0: file system, the process is
the same as the CompactFlash device after the copy command is issued.
