Upgrading Your Version of Cisco Fabric Manager To upgrade your version - HP Cisco MDS 9216 | Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Rel - Page 11
when upgrading to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.1(3): • Install and configure dual supervisor modules. • Issue the show install all impact upgrade-image CLI command to determine if your upgrade will be nondisruptive. • Follow the recommended guidelines for upgrading a Cisco MDS 9124 Switch as described - HP Cisco MDS 9216 | Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Rel - Page 12

Enabled An Inter-Switch Link (ISL) flap resulting in fabric segmentation or a merge during or after an upgrade from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(x) to a later image where IVR is enabled might be disruptive. Some possible scenarios include the following: • FCIP connection flapping during the upgrade - HP Cisco MDS 9216 | Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Rel - Page 14

a consequence of possible spanning-tree errors, the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter stop responding to Telnet and ping commands on the management Ethernet port. Workaround: This issue is resolved. • CSCsi31860 - HP Cisco MDS 9216 | Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Rel - Page 29
