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.
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.
18. Restore the previously saved configurations by using the copy command to copy the configuration file
in the USB drive to the running configuration.
19. Save the configuration in the startup configuration by using the copy running-config startup-config
vdc-all command.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Insert a USB drive in the usb1 or the slot0 USB port on the active supervisor 2E module. We will use the usb1 port for
the steps given below.
Step 2 Format the drive by using the format command.
switch(config)# format usb1
Step 3 Copy all of the VDC configurations for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy running-config command.
switch(config)# copy running-config usb1:configuration_file_name vdc-all
Step 4 Backup the installed licenses for the switch to the USB drive by using the copy licenses command.
switch(config)# copy licenses usb1:licenses_archive_file_name.tar
You must use the tar extension for the archive file. This file will contain all of the license files that were
installed on the Supervisor 2E module.
Note
Step 5 Copy the Supervisor 3E version of the kickstart, system, and EPLD (optional) images to the USB drive by using the
copy command.
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-kickstart.8.3.1.bin usb1:
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-dk9.8.3.1.bin usb1:
switch(config)# copy scp://path/n7700-s3-epld.8.3.1.img usb1:
This example specifies Cisco NX-OS Release 8.3(1) images. This is the minimum software release for the
Cisco Nexus 7700 Series Supervisor 3E modules.
Note
Use -s3- images with Supervisor 3E modules. If you use an -s2- image with a Supervisor 3E module, the
supervisor will not boot up. Some examples of an -s2- image are given below:
• n7700-s2-kickstart.8.0.1.bin
• n7700-s2-kickstart.8.1.1.bin
• n7700-s2-kickstart.8.2.1.bin
Caution
Step 6 Turn off the power to the switch using the power switch on each power supply. The Output LED turns off on each
power supply and the Status LEDs turn off on all of the supervisor and I/O modules.
