For more information on upgrading SAN-OS software, see the "Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image" section on page 9. If the configuration is not updated before the upgrade, the installation process for the new image will automatically convert all ports configured in auto mode to Fx mode.

Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.1(2a)
OL-12208-03
Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image
Step 2
Issue the
no ivr virtual-fcdomain-add vsan-ranges
vsan-range
command to disable RDI mode on all
IVR enabled switches. The range of values for a VSAN ID is 1 to 4093. This can cause traffic disruption.
Note
Complete Step 2 for all IVR enabled switches before moving to Step 3.
Step 3
Check the syslogs for any ISL that was isolated.
2005 Aug 31 21:52:04 switch %FCDOMAIN-2-EPORT_ISOLATED:
%$VSAN 2005%$ Isolation of interface
port-channel 52 (reason: unknown failure)
2005 Aug 31 21:52:04 switch %FCDOMAIN-2-EPORT_ISOLATED: %$VSAN 2005%$
Isolation of interface port-channel 51
(reason: domain ID assignment failure)
Step 4
Issue the following commands for the isolated switches in Step 3:
switch(config)#
vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)#
vsan
vsan-id
suspend
switch(config-vsan-db)# no
vsan
vsan-id
suspend
Step 5
Issue the
ivr refresh
command to perform an IVR refresh on all the IVR enabled switches.
Step 6
Issue the
copy running-config startup-config
command to save the RDI mode in the startup
configuration on all of the switches.
Step 7
Follow the normal upgrade guidelines for Release 2.1(2b). If you are adding new switches running Cisco
MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(2b) or later, upgrade all of your existing switches to Cisco SAN-OS Release
2.1(2b) as described in this workaround. Then follow the normal upgrade guidelines for Release 3.1(2a).
Note
RDI mode should not be disabled for VSANs running in interop mode 2 or interop mode 3.
Reconfiguring SSM Ports Before Upgrading to SAN-OS Release 3.1(2a)
Starting with Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the SSM front panel ports can no longer be configured
in auto mode, which is the default for releases prior to Release 3.0(1).
Note
To avoid any traffic disruption, modify the configuration of the SSM ports as described below, before
upgrading a SAN-OS software image prior to Release 3.1(2a).
For more information on upgrading SAN-OS software, see the
“Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS
Software Image” section on page 9
.
If the configuration is not updated before the upgrade, the installation process for the new image will
automatically convert all ports configured in auto mode to Fx mode. This change in mode might cause
a disruption if the port is currently operating in E mode.
To upgrade the image on your SSM without any traffic disruption, follow these steps:
Step 1
Verify the operational mode for each port on the SSM using the
show interface
command:
switch#
show interface fc 2/1 - 32
fc2/1 is up
