Fibre Channel Ports: Traffic on Fibre Channel ports can be nondisruptively upgraded. See
–
Table 8
for the nondisruptive upgrade path for all NX-OS and SAN-OS releases.
SSM: Intelligent services traffic on the SSM, such as SANTap, NASB, and FC write
–
acceleration, is disrupted during an upgrade. SSM Fibre Channel traffic is not.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Traffic on Gigabit Ethernet ports is disrupted during an upgrade or
–
downgrade. This includes IPS modules and the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the MPS-14/2 module,
the MSM-18/4 module, and the MDS 9222i switch. Those nodes that are members of VSANs
traversing an FCIP ISL are impacted, and a fabric reconfiguration occurs. iSCSI initiators
connected to the Gigabit Ethernet ports lose connectivity to iSCSI targets while the upgrade is
in progress.
Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR): With IVR enabled, you must follow additional steps if you are
–
upgrading from Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.1.(1a), 2.1(1b), or 2.1.(2a). See the
IVR Enabled" section on page 19
–
FICON: If you have FICON enabled, the upgrade path is different. See the
Releases and Upgrade Paths" section on page
