To upgrade IOS on Cisco SAN switch use following steps (Tested on MDS9148S):
- Open Device Manager in browser after configuring IP address
- Download latest iOS and corresponding kickstart file from Cisco site
- From Device Manager go to Admin -> Licenses. Use the copy option to copy files from a Linux machine using scp.
- Install new OS using:
- install all kickstart m9100-s5ek9-kickstart-mz.7.3.0.DY.1.bin system m9100-s5ek9-mz.7.3.0.DY.1.bin
- #Takes long time for many checks. Do not press Enter as after checking it will ask (y/n) and pressing enter will cause installation to stop
- Switch automatically reboots. New OS should now be working.
- 'show version' to check new version. Optionally do 'show boot' to check boot configuration
