Step 2 Ensure that the required space is available in the bootflash: directory for the image files to be copied using the dir
bootflash: command. Use the delete bootflash: filename command to remove any unnecessary files.
Step 3 Copy the Supervisor-4 Module Cisco NX-OS kickstart and system images to the active Supervisor-1 Module bootflash,
using an FTP, TFTP, SCP, SFTP, or a USB flash drive.
The Supervisor-4 images contain the string sf4 to identify them. Do not rename the images, use the standard image
names.
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/MDS/m9700-sf4ek9-kickstart-mz.8.4.1.bin
bootflash:m9700-sf4ek9-kickstart-mz.8.4.1.bin
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/MDS/m9700-sf4ek9-mz.8.4.1.bin
bootflash:m9700-sf4ek9-mz.8.4.1.bin
Step 4 Initiate the migration process on the active Supervisor-1 Module, using the migrate sup kickstart
<supervisor4-kickstart-image> system <supervisor4-system-image> command in global config mode.
The migrate sup kickstart <supervisor4-kickstart-image> system <supervisor4-system-image> command
is supported on Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(1) or later on Cisco MDS 9710 and Cisco MDS 9706
Director switches. On Cisco MDS 9718 Director switch, the migration command is supported from Cisco
MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2a) or later. Inv alidcommand message is displayed, if this command is executed
on the other versions of the Cisco MDS NX-OS release.
Note
This command verifies if the images are compatible with the current system and the kickstart image. If the
images are not compatible, the following error message is displayed:
Note
ERROR !! Version of kickstart image provided (8.x.x) does not match running version.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# migrate sup kickstart m9700-sf4ek9-kickstart-mz.8.4.1.bin
system m9700-sf4ek9-mz.8.4.1.bin
Kickstart image file is /bootflash/m9700-sf4ek9-kickstart-mz.8.4.1.bin
System image file is /bootflash/m9700-sf4ek9-kickstart-mz.8.4.1.bin
The switch release version and the targeted migration release version must be same. If there is a mismatch
in the release versions, the following error message is displayed:
Note
ERROR!!! Running system version: 8.4(1), version of system image provided: 8.4(2b)
<Fri Oct 23 16:08:44 2020> ERROR!!! Version of system image provided
('m9700-sf4ek9-mz.8.4.2b.bin') does not match running version, aborting migration.
Step 5 During the migration, enter “ y ” when prompted to do so.
