How to Change Power Supply Redundancy Mode to Grid Redundancy on Cisco MDS 9700 Switch

In this tutorial, we walk you through the process of changing the power supply redundancy mode to grid redundancy on the Connectrix Cisco MDS-9700 series switch. We also provide a step-by-step guide on how to change to Input Source (grid) redundancy mode. This video is a must-watch for IT professionals and network administrators looking to optimize their Cisco MDS-9700 series switches. For more Information, check our Knowledge Base click here.

Hello everyone. In this video, let us learn how to change Power Supply Redundancy Mode to Grid Redundancy. In this example, we are going to change Power Supply Redundancy Mode to Input Source Grid Redundancy Mode. For detailed information on the available Power Supply Modes, please refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article number 21244.

Changing between Power Modes is non-disruptive and is possible only if there is enough power available in the Target Mode. If enough power is not available, MDS NX-OS rejects the command with an “Insufficient Capacity” message on Switch CLI. Check the running config with feature Power Redundancy; you can see that Power Supply Mode is PS Redundant.

To change to Input Source Grid Redundancy Mode, enter the Switch Configure mode and run this command. Verify the changes by using the command show environment power; you can see that the Power Supply Mode is changed to Input Source redundant.

Thank you for watching.
