Configuring the SSI Image Boot Variable

To configure the SSI image boot variable for Fibre Channel switching and Intelligent Storage Services
on the SSM on switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS release 2.0(2b) through Release 2.1(1a) on the
SSM, follow these steps:
Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 1
Step 2 Verify that the SSM is physically installed in the switch. If the module is not physically installed, insert
it into the desired slot. Issue a show module command to verify the status of the module.
switch# show module

...
Note the slot number for later reference.
Step 3 Verify the Cisco MDS NX-OS or SAN-OS release running on the switch and the location and name of
the SSI boot image on the switch following the procedure described in the
Image" section on page
Configure the SSI image boot variable to specify the SSI image to use when the 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
switch#
OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
switch# attach module 6
...
switch(standby)# delete bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mz.2.1.1.bin
switch(standby)# exit
switch#
Copy the boot image file from the FTP server to the bootflash: or slot0: device in the active
supervisor module. The following example shows how to copy to bootflash:
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), we recommend that you copy the image to modflash:
on the SSM.
switch# copy ftp://10.1.7.2/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
bootflash:m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin
The system will automatically synchronize the SSI image to the standby supervisor if automatic
copying is enabled.
switch# config t
switch(config)# boot auto-copy
