Cisco Nexus 1010 Software Upgrade


This chapter describes how to upgrade Cisco Nexus 1010 product family to the new version and includes the following sections:

Prerequisites

Upgrading from Software Release 4.2(1)SP1(2) or Later

Upgrading from Software Release 4.0(4)SP1(1)

Upgrade Example

Information About In Service Software Upgrade

The Cisco Nexus 1010 upgrade is a hitless in-service software upgrade (ISSU). When you upgrade the software, the operational data is retained without loss of persistent information. The availability of VSBs will not be affected during the upgrade process.

Once the command to upgrade is issued, the whole upgrade procedure is automated. The upgrade process takes time and follows the following sequence:

First the ISO image components are extracted, verified and synchronized to the standby Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X.

The standby Cisco Nexus 1010 is upgraded first.

The VSBS on the standby are restarted.

The upgrade of the active is initiated.

Once the upgrade of active and standby is complete both will form a HA pair running the upgraded software.

Finally, the ISSU is complete when both Cisco Nexus 1010s form an HA pair with the new software version.

Prerequisites

Before beginning this procedures in this section you must know or do the following:

You have verified that you have the following product ID (PID), using the Verifying the CIMC Software Version.

N1K-C1010 on Cisco Nexus 1010

N1K-C1010-X on Cisco Nexus 1010-X


Caution You cannot install or upgrade to Release 4.2(1)SP1(4a) unless your Cisco Nexus 1010 has the product ID (PID) N1K-C1010 or your Cisco Nexus 1010-X has the product ID (PID) N1K-C1010-X.

You are logged in to the CLI from the CIMC/Serial over LAN port on the rear of the Cisco Nexus 1010 or Cisco Nexus 1010-X.


Note Do not log in using the management IP for this procedure. This procedure requires you to first upgrade and reload the standby Cisco Nexus 1010 after which the HA pair have incompatible software versions. By logging in using serial over LAN, you prevent the split brain that occurs in this configuration.


You have already saved a backup copy of your running configuration on an external server.

You have saved a copy of the new Cisco Nexus 1010 software file from the following Cisco.com software download site to an external server.

www.cisco.com/go/1010download

You must have Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) software Version 1.2.1(b) or higher installed. For more information, see the CIMC And BIOS Information.

Use the "Verifying the CIMC Software Version" procedure to verify you have this CIMC version installed. For more information, see the CIMC Firmware Management on UCS C-Series Servers document.

The upgrade fails if an earlier version of CIMC is installed.

Use N1010 CIMC GUI to update the CIMC, and BIOS firmware individually using the manual procedure. For more information, see the CIMC And BIOS Information.

Guidelines and Limitations

Follow these guidelines and limitations when upgrading the Cisco Nexus 1010 product family:

This procedure upgrades both the active and standby Cisco Nexus 1010.

After reloading the new software version during an upgrade, you must save the new upgrade configuration persistently through reboots and restarts by copying it to the startup configuration. These procedures include a step for this.

The only way to upgrade the software is by using the install nexus1010 command

Boot variables must be set by the system when you use the install command. Never attempt to set the boot variables manually.

Upgrading from Software Release 4.2(1)SP1(2) or Later

You can use this procedure for the following Cisco Nexus 1010 upgrade while retaining operational data and persistent information.

From software version
To software version

4.2(1)SP1(2)

4.2(1)SP1(4)

4.2(1)SP1(3)



Note To upgrade from 4.0(4) SP1(1), see the "Upgrading from Software Release 4.0(4)SP1(1)" procedure.



Note For information about upgrading Cisco Nexus 1000V software on a VSB, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Software Upgrade Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(5.1).


DETAILED STEPS


Step 1 From the Cisco Nexus 1010 serial over LAN connection, copy any unsaved configuration from the running configuration to startup so that it is preserved after the reload.

copy running-config startup-config

Example:
switch# copy running-config startup-config
[########################################] 100%
switch# 
 
   

Step 2 Copy the new software image from the external server to the following directory.

bootflash: \repository

copy scp://user@path/filename bootflash:filename

Example:
n1010# copy scp://user@linux-box.cisco.com/home/user/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.4.iso 
bootflash:repository 
Enter vrf (If no input, current vrf 'default' is considered):
user@linux-box.cisco.com's password:
nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.4.iso       100%  258234  10.3KB/s   00:15
n1010#
 
   

Step 3 Install the new image.

install nexus1010 full_path_to_filename

Example:
switch# install nexus1010 bootflash:repository/nexus-1010.4.2.1.sp1.4.iso
 
   

The following things occur on the switch:

The new software image is copied to bootflash and the standby Cisco Nexus 1010 is upgraded.

Bootflash variables are updated with the names of the new system and kickstart images.

The new image and bootflash variable information is saved in the startup configuration.

The active reloads the standby with the new software version.

The system waits for all VSBs to come up before the standby takes over and reloads the active with the new software version.

Step 4 From the CLI for each module, verify that both modules are in HA mode.

show system redundancy status

Example:
switch# show system redundancy status 
Redundancy role
---------------
      administrative:   primary
         operational:   primary
Redundancy mode
---------------
      administrative:   HA
         operational:   None

-----------------------
    Redundancy state:   Active
    Supervisor state:   Active
      Internal state:   Active with HA standby 
Other supervisor (sup-2)
------------------------
    Redundancy state: standby 
    Supervisor state: HA standby 
      Internal state: HA standby

Upgrading from Software Release 4.0(4)SP1(1)

You can use this procedure for the following Cisco Nexus 1010 upgrade while retaining operational data and persistent information.

From software version
To software version

4.0(4)SP1(1)

4.2(1)SP1(4)



Note To upgrade from 4.2(1)SP1(3) or 4.2(1) SP1(2), see "Upgrading from Software Release 4.2(1)SP1(2) or Later" procedure.



Note For information about upgrading Cisco Nexus 1000V software on a VSB, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Software Upgrade Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(5.1).


BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before beginning this procedure you must know or do the following:

To keep VSMs available, reload the redundant VSB modules separately as described in this procedure.

Connect to both primary and secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 using serial over LAN connection.

To upgrade the Cisco Nexus 1010, the secondary should be active. If the primary Cisco Nexus 1010is active, then initiate a manual switchover to make the secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 active.

Save all the configurations on the Cisco Nexus 1010 and on the Cisco Nexus 1000V VSMs before starting the upgrade process.

DETAILED STEPS


Step 1 From the Cisco Nexus 1010 serial over LAN connection, copy any unsaved configuration from the running configuration to startup so that it is preserved after the reload.

copy running-config startup-config

Example:
n1010# copy running-config startup-config
[########################################] 100%
n1010# 
 
   

Step 2 Copy the new software image from the external server to the following directory.

bootflash: \repository

copy scp://user@path/filename bootflash:filename

Example:
n1010# copy scp://user@linux-box.cisco.com/home/user/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.4.iso 
bootflash:repository 
Enter vrf (If no input, current vrf 'default' is considered):
user@linux-box.cisco.com's password:
nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.4.iso       100%  258234  10.3KB/s   00:15
n1010#
 
   

Step 3 Install the new image.

install nexus1010 full_path_to_filename

The following things occur on the switch:

The new software image is copied to bootflash.

Bootflash variables are updated with the names of the new system and kickstart images.

The new image and bootflash variable information is saved in the running configuration.

Example:
switch# install nexus1010 bootflash:repository/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.4.iso
 
   

Step 4 Save the new boot parameters in the startup configuration.

switch# copy running-config startup-config
[########################################] 100%
 
   

Caution If you do not copy the running configuration to the startup configuration, the new boot parameters are not saved when you reload the software in Step 5.

Step 5 Reload the software to refresh the software image with the new image file. If the secondary Cisco Nexus 1010 is active, then reload the primary module, which is currently in standby.

reload module 1

Example:
n1010# reload module1
his command will reboot standby supervisor module. (y/n)?  [n] y
about to reset standby sup
n1010# 2012 Sep 12 00:14:58 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ %PLATFORM-2-PFM_MODULE_RESET: Manual 
restart of Module 1 from Command Line Interface
2012 Sep 12 00:15:15 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ %PLATFORM-2-MOD_REMOVE: Module 1 removed (Serial 
number T023D70E601)
n1010#
 
   

Step 6 Wait for module 1 to come up with latest software version. Since module1 has the latest software version, it will still be displayed as active with the latest software version. It will not be displayed as standby due to incompatible software version.

n1010# show virtual-service-blade summary 
 
   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name                Role        State                    Nexus1010-Module
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vsm                 SECONDARY   VSB POWERED ON           Nexus1010-SECONDARY
 
   

Step 7 From the CLI of module 1,login to the VSM on the Cisco Nexus 1010 with the older software version and then initiate a manual switchover.

n1010# login virtual-service-blade vsm
Telnet escape character is '$'.
