Cisco nexus 5020 OS upgrade failed.

[atif.shadab]

Hi All,

I have cisco 5020 nexus switch which is currently running with

kickstart: version 4.0(0)N1(2)

system:    version 4.0(0)N1(2)

I want to upgrade for

kickstart: version 4.2(1)N2(1)

system:    version 4.2(1)N2(1)

i believe it requires chain upgrade , hence i tried going for immediate next versions and also tried required version

4.0.1a.N2.1

4.0.1a.N1.1a

4.2.1.N2.1

But whenever i upload images and verify by giving

show install all impact kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstaart.4.0.1a.N1.1a.bin system bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.0.1a.N1.1a.bin

i get the following error.

Verifying image bootflash:/n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N1.1a.bin for boot variabl

e "kickstart".

HI All,

You guys are hitting the following bug:

CSCsw25835

This bug is because everytime you telnet we are creating files called "sup_params_info" in the /var/tmp 
directory. So over time there might be thousands of files after you telnet many times into the N5k. You 
can confirm if you are hitting this bug by issuing "show system internal dir /var/tmp" and seeing 
thousands of files called "sup_params_info".

Workaround:
Reload device to clear out temporary files before running install routine.
