Hi @JustANoob

You can try to transfer the .iso with scp (if you are running windows You can download WinScp ).
on the each node - # scp username@remote:/file/to/send /tmp/
Then follow the Manual Upgrade procedure on https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/dcn/nd/2x/user-guide/cisco-nexus-dashboard-user-guide-211.pdf

Hi,

Probably not even relevant now but anyway. For uploading the image through GUI is possible in 2 ways: Local upload (that is the one that doesn't work because of timeout) or remote, when you host the .iso image on a web server and ND will pull the image from that source. Possibly that is advise for larger files as it is not ties to a login session as the local upload.

@balaji.bandi 's link ND Upgrade Step 4a mentions the remote source option.

Richard
