About Software Images

Each device is shipped with the Cisco NX-OS software. The Cisco NX-OS software consists of two images—the kickstart image and the system image.

The software image install procedure is dependent on the following factors:

•Software images—The kickstart and system image files reside in directories or folders that you can access from the Cisco NX-OS software prompt.

•Image version—Each image file has a version.

•Flash disks on the device—The bootflash: resides on the supervisor module and the CompactFlash disk is inserted into the slot0:, usb1, or usb2: device.

•Supervisor modules—There are single or dual supervisor modules.

---

Note On devices with dual supervisor modules, both supervisor modules must have connections on the console ports to maintain connectivity when switchovers occur during upgrades and downgrades. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Hardware Installation and Reference Guide.

---

About In-Service Software Upgrades on Devices with Dual Supervisor Modules

The Cisco NX-OS software supports in-service software upgrades (ISSUs) on devices with dual supervisor modules. An ISSU can update the software images on your device without disrupting data traffic. Only control traffic is disrupted. If an ISSU will cause a disruption of data traffic, the Cisco NX-OS software warns you before proceeding so that you can stop the upgrade and reschedule it to a time that minimizes the impact on your network.

An ISSU updates the following images:

•Kickstart image

•System image

•Supervisor module BIOS

•Data module image

•Data module BIOS

•Connectivity management processor (CMP) image

•CMP BIOS

Figure 1 shows the ISSU process.

Figure 1 ISSU Process

Figure 2 provides an example of the supervisor module status before and after an ISSU switchover.

Figure 2 Example of an ISSU Supervisor Module Switchover

Virtualization Support

When you upgrade the Cisco NX-OS software, you upgrade the software for all virtual device contexts (VDCs) on the physical device. You cannot upgrade the Cisco NX-OS software for an individual VDC.

Prerequisites for Upgrading the Cisco NX-OS Software

Upgrading the Cisco NX-OS software has the following prerequisite:

•Save, commit, or discard any active configuration sessions before upgrading or downgrading the Cisco NX-OS software image on your device. On a device with dual supervisors, the active supervisor module cannot switchover to the standby supervisor module during the Cisco NX-OS software upgrade if you have an active configuration session.On a device with a single supervisor module, the Cisco NX-OS software deletes the active configuration session without warning when you reload the device.

Use the show configuration session summary command to verify that you have no active configuration sessions.

For more information on configuration sessions, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide, Release 4.0.

Cisco NX-OS Software Upgrade Guidelines

Before attempting to migrate to any software image version, follow these guidelines:

•Scheduling

Schedule the upgrade when your network is stable and steady. Ensure that everyone who has access to the device or the network is not configuring the device or the network during this time. You cannot configure a device during an upgrade.

•Space

Verify that sufficient space is available in the location where you are copying the images. This location includes the active and standby supervisor module bootflash: (internal to the device).

–Standby supervisor module bootflash: file system.

–Internal bootflash: has approximately 200 MB of free space available.

•Hardware

Avoid power interruption during any install procedure, which can corrupt the software image.

•Connectivity to remote servers

–Configure the IPv4 address or IPv6 address for the 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet port connection (interface mgmt0).

–Ensure the device has a route to the remote server. The device and the remote server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets.

•Images

–Ensure that the specified system and kickstart images are compatible with each other.

–If the kickstart image is not specified, the device uses the current running kickstart image.

–If you specify a different system image, ensure that it is compatible with the running kickstart image.

–Retrieve images in one of two ways:

Locally—Images are locally available on the switch.

Remotely—Images are in a remote location and you specify the destination using the remote server parameters and the file name to be used locally.

•Terminology

Table 1 summarizes terms used in the install all command output for checking compatibility.

Table 1 install all Command Output Terminology

Term		Definition
bootable		The modules ability to boot or not boot based on image compatibility.
impact		The type of software upgrade mechanism—disruptive or nondisruptive.
install-type	reset	Resets the module.
	sw-reset	Resets the module immediately after switchover.
	rolling	Upgrades each module in sequence.
	copy-only	Updates the software for BIOS, loader, or bootrom.

•Commands to use

–Verify connectivity to the remote server using the ping command.

–Ensure that the required space is available for the image files to be copied using the dir command.

–We recommend the one-step install all command to upgrade your software. This command upgrades all modules in any Cisco NX-OS device.

–Run only one installation on a device at a time.

–Do not issue another command while running the installation.

–Do the installation on the active supervisor module, not the standby supervisor module.

---

Note If the I/O modules are not compatible with the software image you install on the supervisor module, some traffic disruption may occur in those modules, depending on your configuration. The install all command output identifies these commands. You can choose to proceed with the upgrade or end at this point.

---

•Cisco TrustSec connected devices

Do not simultaneously upgrade or downgrade the images on devices connected with Cisco TrustSec. Allow the upgrade or downgrade to complete on one device before upgrading or downgrading the other device.

Upgrading Cisco NX-OS Software

Only users with the network-admin role can upgrade the Cisco NX-OS software image and only from the default VDC.

The upgrade procedure that you use depends on whether you device has a single supervisor module or has dual supervisor modules. To determine the number of supervisor modules on your device, use the show hardware and show redundancy commands.

---

Note You can download the Cisco NX-OS software images to the bootflash:, slot0:, usb1:, or usb2: disks on your device. The examples in the procedures use bootflash:.

This section includes the following topics:

•Upgrading a Device with Dual Supervisors

•Upgrading a Device with a Single Supervisor

Upgrading a Device with Dual Supervisors

The install all command supports in-service software upgrade (ISSU) on devices that have dual supervisor modules and performs the following actions:

•Determines whether the upgrade will be disruptive and asks if you wish to continue.

•Copies the kickstart and system images to the standby supervisor module.

•Sets the KICKSTART and SYSTEM boot variables.

•Reloads the standby supervisor module with the new Cisco NX-OS software.

•Reloads the active supervisor module with the new Cisco NX-OS software, which causes a switchover to the newly upgraded standby supervisor module.

---

Note The install all command does not install the EPLD images.

---

This section includes the following topics:

•Benefits of Using the install all Command

•ISSU Failure Conditions

•Upgrade Procedure Summary

•Detailed Upgrade Procedure

Benefits of Using the install all Command

The install all command provides the following benefits:

•You can upgrade the entire device using just one command.

•You can receive descriptive information on the intended changes to your system before you continue with the installation.

•You have the option to cancel the command. Once the effects of the command are presented, you can continue or cancel when you see this question (the default is no):

Do you want to continue (y/n) [n] :y

•You can upgrade the entire device using the least disruptive procedure.

•You can see the progress of this command on the console, Telnet, and SSH screens:

–After a switchover process, you can see the progress from both the supervisor modules.

–Before a switchover process, you can only see the progress from the active supervisor module.

•The install all command automatically checks the image integrity. This includes the running kickstart and system images.

•The install all command performs a platform validity check to verify that a wrong image is not used—for example, to check if a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series image is used inadvertently to upgrade a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch.

•The Ctrl-c escape sequence gracefully ends the install all command. The command sequence completes the update step in progress and returns to the device prompt. (Other upgrade steps cannot be ended using Ctrl-c.)

•After issuing the install all command, if any step in the sequence fails, the command completes the step in progress and ends.

For example, if an I/O module fails to be updated for any reason (for example, due to an unstable network state), then the command sequence disruptively updates that module and ends. In such cases, you can verify the problem on the affected switching module and upgrade the other I/O modules.

ISSU Failure Conditions

The following situations cause the installation to fail to complete:

•If the standby supervisor module bootflash: file system does not have sufficient space to accept the updated image.

•If the specified system and kickstart images are not compatible.

•If the network or device is configured while the upgrade is in progress.

•If the install all command is issued on the standby supervisor module.

•If the install all command does not reference the default bootflash: in a dual supervisor module configuration.

•If a module is removed while the upgrade is in progress.

•If the device has any power disruption while the upgrade is in progress.

•If the entire path for the remote server location is not specified accurately.

•If images are incompatible after an upgrade. For example, an I/O module image may be incompatible with the system image, or a kickstart image may be incompatible with a system image. This is also identified by the show install all impact command in the compatibility check section of the output (under the Bootable column).
