You can only specify one image for the SSI variable per module.
The SSI boot variable must reference the correct SSI boot image, otherwise the SSM fails to
initialize. If you do not correctly set the SSI boot variable, the SSM remains in the
power-down state after attempting to initialize three times.
If you do not save this configuration, it is lost on a switch reboot. In addition the SSM stays in
the power-down state if your switch is running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or earlier.
You must perform this procedure again to recover the SSI image boot variable configuration.
