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 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 of 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. Invalid command message is displayed, if
this command is executed on other versions of Cisco MDS NX-OS release.
Note
This command will verify if the images are compatible with the current system and the kickstart images.
If the images are not compatible, the following error message is displayed:
ERROR !! Version of kickstart image provided (8.x.x) does not match running version.
Note
swithc# 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
