Appendix A Migrating to Generation 3 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Modules Migration Procedures for the MDS 9513 Director Send documentation comments to [email protected]. Step 14 Move the console cable to the console port on the active supervisor. Step 15 Enter the show module command to confirm which supervisor module is active. Step 16 Enter the out-of-service xbar slot command (where slot refers to the external fabric module slot number) to shut down the standby supervisor Step 17 Remove the out-of-service fabric module and install a MDS 9513 Fabric 2 module by repeating steps 7 through 12. Step 18 After you have replaced both MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules, enter the show module xbar command to verify that the system can detect the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules and that their status is ok. This example shows the output of the show module xbar command: switch# show module xbar Xbar Ports Module-Type Model Status 1 0 Fabric Module 2 DS-13SLT-FAB2 ok 2 0 Fabric Module 2 DS-13SLT-FAB2 ok Xbar Sw 1 NA 2 NA Hw -----2.0 2.0 World-Wide-Name(s) (WWN Xbar MAC-Address(es 1 NA 2 NA Serial-Num ---------JAF1207ARRS JAE1212BPR0 * this terminal session switch# The MDS 9513 Director with the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules should function as it did prior to the migration procedure. Until you upgrade to Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) and reload the switch, the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules function like MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules. Installing MDS 9513 Fabric 2 Modules and Installing MDS 9000 24-port or 48-port 8-Gbps Modules This procedure allows you to install the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules and activate the increased backplane bandwidth of the MDS 9513 Director. The procedure consists of the following tasks: • Upgrade to NX-OS 4.1(1b). This is a nondisruptive procedure. • Replace the MDS 9513 Fabric 1 modules with MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules. • Install the MDS 9000 48-port or 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel modules. • Activate the higher bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules. This procedure offers the following benefits: • You double the active backplane bandwidth to 192-Gbps full duplex per slot on the MDS 9513 Director once you activate the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MDS 9513 Fabric 2 modules through a reload or power cycle. • You simplify the migration process if you choose to power down the switch and install all the hardware modules at one time.
