Using the install ssi Command

You can use the install ssi command to update the boot image on an SSM. If the SSM is performing Fibre
Channel switching and no Intelligent Storage Services are provisioned on the module, this operation does not
disrupt traffic through the module. If the SSM is configured for Intelligent Storage Services, a warning is
displayed at the command prompt indicating that the operation will disrupt traffic and asking if you wish to
continue.
The SSM must be running EPLD version 2.1(2) to use the install ssi command. You must install the SSM
Note
on a Cisco MDS 9500 Series switch to update the EPLD.

it into the desired slot. Issue a show module command to verify the status of the module.
3. Verify the Cisco MDS NX-OS release running on the switch and the location and name of the SSI boot
image on the switch.
