ACI firmware update - Not supported

[Ziad El Achkouty]

Hello,

I am trying to update my ACI firmware from version 2.1 to 3.1

I updated the APIC with no problem. However, whenever i try to update my leafs and spines, i get the message that the software version is not compatible.

I checked the release notes of version 3.1 and found in the supported hardware section my leaf and spine models. Should I proceed with the upgrade?

Spine: N9K-C9336PQ

Leaf: N9K-C9396PX

That upgrade path is not supported.  Please see the Upgrade Guide for supported Upgrade paths.

You'll need to go from 2.1 > 2.2(2) > 3.1
