Cisco Nexus 931080YC-EX 32bit to 64bit

[Jeff Horton]

We have two Cisco Nexus 931080YC-EX (I believe they are EX but can't remember at this moment). They are running the NXOS for 32 bit. I have just upgraded them to nxos.10.1.2.bin.

Is there a way to convert these switches to 64 bit or am I stuck for ever on this nxos version?

You can go upto 10.3(2)(f)

But stable suggested version is 10.2(4)(M)

read the release notes :

Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Release Notes, Release 10.2(5)M - Cisco

Also, read this EOL statement:

End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX and Cisco N9K-C93108TC-EX - Cisco

My switches do not recognize the nxos64 images. Is there a way to convert the nexus switch from nxos to nxos64 images?

[balaji.bandi]

Cisco switches not like a White box, they build the OS based on the architecture.

you can not load and install what ever the image you wish to install.

nxos64 images  << not sure what image is this, you need to provide more information and evidence of your installation steps ?

post show version also

I am currently running image nxos.10.1.2.bin. The next image for the Cisco Nexus 931080YC-FX (Not EX model) is nxos64.10.2.1.F.bin. It does not recognize the image. How do I get this switch to recognize the image?

For any one check this post later 

For 32-bit or 64-bit image support on respective platforms, see the following documents:

• Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Release Notes, Release 10.1(2)

• Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Release Notes, Release 10.1(1)

as i mentioned before some model do not support that architecture(example your model as per i know do not support) , so you need to have model which can support both 32 and 64bit.

[Jeff Horton]

Just noticed that model number is wrong. Actual model is N9K-C93180YC-FX.

thank you to Cisco TAC Andres David Pinilla Garcia >>

I just reviewed our upgrade matrix and the jump you are trying to do is not supported:

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/dcn/tools/nexus-9k3k-issu-matrix/index.html#cur=10.2(1)F&tar=10.3(2)F

10.2(1)F → 10.2(5)M → 10.3(2)F

This means that in order for you to upgrade to 10.3(2)F you need to go to 10.2(5)M first.

Sorry can you more elaborate' you meaning platform support nx-os 64 but you can not upgrade directly?
