Open the Switches folder and select Hardware in the Physical Attributes pane.
Step 2
You see the status for all modules in the switch in the Information pane.

IPS Module Upgrade

Caution A software upgrade is only disruptive for the IPS module. The SAN-OS software continues to support
nondisruptive software upgrades for Fibre Channel modules in the switch and for the switch itself.
IPS modules use a rolling upgrade install mechanism where each module in a given switch can only be
upgraded in sequence. To guarantee a stable state, each IPS module in a switch requires a 5-minute delay
before the next IPS module is upgraded.

MPS-14/2 Module Upgrade

A software upgrade is only partially disruptive for the MPS-14/2 module. The SAN-OS software
Caution
continues to support nondisruptive software upgrades for Fibre Channel modules in the switch and for
the switch itself.
The MPS-14/2 modules have 14 Fibre Channel ports (nondisruptive upgrade) and 2 Gigabit Ethernet
ports (disruptive upgrade). MPS-14/2 modules use a rolling upgrade install mechanism for the two
Gigabit Ethernet ports where each module in a given switch can only be upgraded in sequence. To
guarantee a stable state, each MPS-14/2 module in a switch requires a 5-minute delay before the next
module is upgraded.

Supported Hardware

You can configure the FCIP and iSCSI features using one or more of the following hardware:

OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
IPS-4 and IPS-8 modules (refer to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide or the
Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide for more information)
MPS-14/2 module (refer to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide or the Cisco
MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide for more information).
In both the MPS-14/2 module and the Cisco MDS 9216i integrated supervisor module, the port
numbering differs for the Fibre Channel ports and the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Fibre Channel
ports are numbered from 1 through 14 and the Gigabit Ethernet ports are numbered 1 and 2.
