After the supervisor 3E module has been moved to Active mode, non-disruptive migration from supervisor 2E modules
to supervisor 3E modules is completed. A console message, SUP3_MIGRATION_COMPLETE, is then displayed.
Step 8 You can now power down and remove the other supervisor 2E module, and replace it with a Supervisor 3E module. This
supervisor 3E module will come up in HA-standby mode.
Case 2: Single Supervisor Migration
To perform non-disruptive migration from Supervisor 2E modules to Supervisor 3E modules in a switch that
has only the active supervisor module installed and there is no standby supervisor module, follow these steps:
Step 1 Copy the Cisco NX-OS Release 8.4(1) kickstart and system images to the active supervisor module bootflash, using an
FTP or TFTP server.
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/n7700/n7700-s3-kickstart.8.4.1.bin bootflash:n7700-s3-kickstart.8.4.1.bin
switch# copy tftp://tftpserver.cisco.com/n7700/n7700-s3-dk9.8.4.1.bin bootflash:system n7700-s3-dk9.8.4.1.bin
Step 2 Use the migrate sup kickstart <sup3-kickstart-image> system <sup3-system-image> command in config mode to
initiate the migration process. This command triggers image version compatibility checks before initiating the migration
process to ensure that the image being used is compatible with the supervisor 3E module.
• A message then appears on the console asking for confirmation to continue the migration procedure. Type Yes on
the console prompt to continue with the migration procedure.
• Configuration commands are now blocked.
• The migrate sup kickstart <sup3-kickstart-image> system <sup3-system-image>command will then check if it
has to initiate a single supervisor or dual supervisor migration process by checking if there is a standby supervisor
2E module installed in the switch. In this procedure, the switch does not have a standby supervisor module.
• You can use the show modulecommand to display the modules installed in the switch.
