Chapter 19 Managing Modules
Verifying the Status of a Module
Switching Modules
Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches support any switching module in any non-supervisor slot. These
modules obtain their image from the supervisor module.
Services Modules
Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches support any services module in any non-supervisor slot.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family SAN Volume Controller Configuration Guide for more information
on CSMs.
Verifying the Status of a Module
Before you begin configuring the switch, you need to ensure that the modules in the chassis are
functioning as designed. To verify the status of a module at any time expand Switches and then select
Hardware in the Physical Attributes pane in Fabric Manager and select Card Module Status tab in the
Information pane (see the “Fibre Channel Interfaces” section on page 20-2). The interfaces in each
module are ready to be configured when the ok status is displayed. A sample screenshot follows:
sup-1 and sup-2
Fixed usage On the MDS 9506 and MDS 9509 switches, sup-1 always refers to the
supervisor module in slot 5 and sup-2 always refers to the supervisor
module in slot 6.
On the MDS 9513 Directors, sup-1 always refers to the supervisor
module in slot 7 and sup-2 always refers to the supervisor module in
slot 8.
sup-active and sup-standby
Relative usage sup-active refers to the active supervisor module—relative to the slot
that contains the active supervisor module.
sup-standby refers to the standby supervisor module—relative to the
slot that contains the standby supervisor module.
sup-local and sup-remote
Relative usage If you are logged into the active supervisor, sup-local refers to the
active supervisor module and sup-remote refers to the standby
supervisor module.
If you are logged into the standby supervisor, sup-local refers to the
standby supervisor module (the one you are logged into.) There is no
sup-remote available from the standby supervisor module (you cannot
access a file system on the active sup).
