Cisco Nexus 7706 - Installing or Replacing an I;O Module

If the version of NX-OS is not the same as you intended to use, copy the previously saved images from the
USB drive in usb1 to bootflash: and perform an upgrade to the appropriate version. For more information,
see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Software Upgrade and Downgrade Guide.
Note
Step 16 Copy the TAR archive containing the license files from the usb1 drive to bootflash:, extract the archive, and install the
licenses by using the copy, tar extract, and install license commands. Repeat the install license command for each
extracted license file.
switch(config)# copy usb1:licenses_archive_file_name.tar bootflash:
switch(config)# tar extract bootflash:licenses_archive_file_name.tar to bootflash:
switch(config)# install license bootflash:licenses_archive_file_name.lic
The tar extract command requires that the TAR file be located in bootflash: or volatile:.
Note
Step 17 Make sure that all I/O modules are online and that the standby supervisor is in ha-standby mode by using the show
module command.
switch(config)# show module
switch(config)# show module
Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
--- ----- ----------------------------------- ------------------ ---------------
5 0 Supervisor module-3 N77-SUP3E active *
6 0 Supervisor module-3 N77-SUP3E ha-standby
7 24 10/40 Gbps Ethernet Module N77-M324FQ-25L ok
...
Step 18 Restore the previously saved configurations by using the copy command to copy the configuration file in the USB
drive to the running configuration.
switch(config)# copy usb1:configuration_file_name running-config
If the imported configuration file includes configurations for Fabric Extenders (FEXs) and those modules
are not up yet, you will see error messages for that. If that happens, we recommend that you run the FEX
configuration again after the FEX modules come online. You can verify the status of the FEX modules and
for the associated server-facing interfaces by using the show fex and show interface brief commands.
Note
If you have not inserted the standby supervisor module until now, do not insert it during this step. Instead,
wait until you complete this procedure before installing the standby supervisor module.
Note
Step 19 Save the configuration in the startup configuration by using the copy running-config startup-config vdc-all command.
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config vdc-all
