UPGRADE FROM 2Gb FIBRE CHANNEL SWITCHING MODULES TO 4Gb AND/OR 8Gb FIBRE CHANNEL SWITCHING MODULES C-series MDS 9000 2Gb switch modules in 16-port and 32-port configurations, 32-port 2Gb Storage Services Module (SSM), and the 14/2 Multiprotocol Services module have reached their end of life and are no longer sold or supported with NX-OS 5.x. Customers wishing to replace their 2Gb 16-port and 32-port switching modules have the option of upgrading to the following 4Gb and/or 8Gb technology:  4Gb configurations o 12-port 4Gb switching module o 24-port 4Gb switching module o 48-port 4Gb switching module  8Gb configurations o 24-port 8Gb switching module o 48-port 8Gb high-performance switching module o 48-port 8Gb host-optimized switching module The 14/2 Multiprotocol Services module can be replaced by the 18/4 Multiservice module. There are a few necessary steps to complete this replacement successfully:  Transfer of configuration and VSAN layout from the old switching module to the new switch module.  Transfer of configuration of IP storage ports from the old 14/2 Multiprotocol Services module to the new 18/4 Multiservice module. The 32-port 2Gb Storage Services Module (SSM) can be replaced by the 18/4 Multiservice module or the MDS 9222i Multilayer Fabric Switch. Upgrade of 2Gb 16 and 32-port modules to 4Gb and/or 8Gb switching modules: The replacement of the 2Gb 16 and 32-port switching modules with the 4Gb and/or 8Gb switching modules must be treated as an upgrade from one module to another. Please refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 CLI Configuration Guide for procedures to configure the new modules. 25 MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes
