How to Upgrade OR Downgrade Cisco APIC via CLI in Offline using USB

[zhd27]

I have to downgrade APIC offline then i will add in current cluster due to current APIC in 5.3 and new APIC in 6.0. Could you please advise if there are any potential challenges with this approach, or provide smoother changing process?

Hey!

I would recommend getting CIMC online, then map the APIC ISO via CIMC doing HTTP/HTTPS mapping.

Like this:
