Migrating from Supervisor-1 Modules to Supervisor-2 Modules
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors support both
Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2 modules. Supervisor-1 and Supervisor-2 modules cannot be installed in
the same switch, except during migration. Both the active and standby supervisor modules must be of
the same type, either Supervisor-1 or Supervisor-2 modules. For Cisco MDS 9513 Directors, both
supervisor modules must be Supervisor-2 modules.
Caution Migrating your supervisor modules is a disruptive operation.
Note Migrating from Supervisor-2 modules to Supervisor-1 modules is not supported.
To migrate from a Supervisor-1 module to a Supervisor-2 module, refer to the step-by-step instructions
in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
Configuring Generation 2 Switching Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors are designed to operate with any combination of Cisco MDS
9000 Generation 1 and Generation 2 modules. However, there are limitations to consider when
combining the various modules and supervisors in the Cisco MDS 9500 Series platform chassis. The
references listed in this section provide specific information about configurations that combine different
modules and supervisors.
For information on configuring Generation 2 switching modules, refer to the Configuring Generation 2
Switching Modules chapter in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
For information on port index availability, refer to the “Port Index Availability” section in the Product
Overview chapter of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide.
For information on Cisco MDS 9000 hardware and software compatibility, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000
SAN-OS Hardware and Software Compatibility Information.
