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 approached 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.
