OL-14116-12
Upgrading Your Cisco MDS SAN-OS Software Image
Note On an MDS 9222i switch, an upgrade from SAN-OS Release 3.2(x), Release 3.3(1a), or Release 3.3(1c)
to SAN-OS Release 3.3(4) fails when there is an active FC-Redirect configuration (created by Cisco
SME or Cisco DMM applications) on the switch. An active FC-Redirect configuration is defined as:
FC-Redirect configuration for hosts or target connected locally
FC-Redirect configuration created by application running on that switch.
If an upgrade is attempted when an active configurations is present, the switch will go into a disruptive
upgrade.
Note The software upgrade information in Table 6 applies only to Fibre Channel switching traffic. Upgrading
system software disrupts IP traffic and SSM intelligent services traffic.
