Caution
Issue the show boot command to display the current contents of the SSI boot variable.
Step 5
switch# show boot
sup-1
kickstart variable = bootflash:/boot-2-0-1-9
system variable = bootflash:/isan-2-0-1-9
sup-2
kickstart variable = bootflash:/boot-2-0-1-9
system variable = bootflash:/isan-2-0-1-9
Module 4
ssi variable = bootflash:/m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.1a.bin
Save the new boot variable configuration so the new boot image is used when the switch reboots.
Step 6
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Note
Step 7
Reload the SSM to load the new boot image.
switch# reload module 4
reloading module 4 ...
The reload command power cycles the SSM.
Caution
Issue the show module command to verify the status of the SSM.
Step 8
switch# show module

You can only specify one image for the SSI variable per module.
The SSI boot variable must reference the correct SSI boot image, otherwise the SSM fails to
initialize. If you do not correctly set the SSI boot variable, the SSM remains in the
power-down state after attempting to initialize three times.
If you do not save this configuration, it is lost on a switch reboot. In addition the SSM stays in
the power-down state if your switch is running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or earlier.
You must perform this procedure again to recover the SSI image boot variable configuration.
Reloading the SSM disrupts traffic through the module.
