About Crossbar Management

Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later supports three types of hardware for the Cisco MDS 9500
Series Directors: Generation 1, Generation 2, and Generation 3.
Generation 3 consists of hardware supported by Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) and later, including the
following:
•
•

OL-17256-03, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
Reason: 1800 W is the lesser of the two power supplies and it is less than the system usage.
Scenario 2: You have the following usage figures configured:
Power supply 1 = 2500 W
Additional Power supply 2 = 2200 W
Current Usage = 2000 W
Current mode = combined mode (so current capacity is 4400 W).
You decide to change the switch to redundant mode. Then the current capacity decreases to
2200 W.
Reason: 2200 W is the lesser of the two power supplies.
Scenario 3: You have the following usage figures configured:
Power supply 1 = 2500 W
Additional Power supply 2 = 1800 W
Current Usage = 3000 W
Current mode = combined mode (so current capacity is 3600 W).
You decide to change the switch to redundant mode. Then the current capacity decreases to
2500 W and the configuration is rejected.
Reason: 2500 W is less than the system usage (3000 W).
