Determining the Software Version
Note Use the latest available software release supported by your vendor for all Cisco MDS 9000 Family products.
To determine the version of the Cisco NX-OS software currently running on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch using the CLI, log into the switch and enter the show version command.
To determine the version of the Cisco NX-OS software currently running on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch using the Fabric Manager, from the Switches tab in the information pane, locate the switch using the IP address, logical name, or WWN, and then check its version in the Release column.
Downloading Software

Upgrade and Downgrade Caveats
This section provides information about upgrading to the current release or downgrading from it.
Upgrading to Cisco MDS SSI Release 5.2(2a)
Following a software upgrade to SSI Release 5.2(2a) in a 32-bit environment, you must unmount and remount all SCSI devices. The following procedure is specific to hosts or targets that see 32-bit LUN IDs. Follow these steps:
1. Quiesce all applications on the host.
2. Enter the following commands:
umount <file system>
varyoffvg <volume group>
exportvg <volume group>
3. Perform the upgrade.
4. Enter the following commands:
rmdev -dl <hdisk#> -R (Repeat this for all hdisks.)
cfgmgr
lsdev -Cc disk (See if all the LUNs are discovered.)
lsattr -El <hdisk#> (Check LUN ID field to check that host sees the same LUN ID as the target LUN ID.)
importvg -y <volume group> <hdisk#> (Volume group name is same as the one that was exported earlier. hdisk# can be just one of the hdisks in the volume group.)
varyonvg <volume group>
mount <file system>
New Features
There are no new features in Cisco MDS SSI Release 5.2(2a).
Limitations
This sections lists limitations or restrictions associated with this release.
GUI Support Not Available for Target IO Timeout DVT Configuration
A target IO timeout for DVT can only be configured through the CLI. GUI support for this configuration is not available in Cisco MDS SSI Release 5.2(2a).
Compatibility Matrix
Before upgrading your SSI image, refer to the Cisco MDS NX-OS Release Compatibility Matrix for Storage Service Interface Images.
The SSI Release 5.2(2a) image is compatible with the Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.2(2a), 5.2(2), and 5.2(1) images.
Resolved Caveats
There are no resolved caveats.
Open Caveats
There are no open caveats.
