NX-OS upgrade question

Ok, I'm sure there's documentation on this *somewhere*; but I haven't been able to find it.  I'm somewhat new at "Cisco-ese".

 

I have a Cisco 5548 switch.  It's running an old release of NX-OS (5).   I want to upgrade it to the latest supported; which is a release 7 variant.

 

So far, so good.  I can download the kickstart image for the desired release; and copy it to the switch; but the guides on upgrading a 5500-series switch all have examples of using "install all" with *two* files specified in them - the kickstart file and the system file.  But I can't *find* a system file image to download on the download page.

 

I'm *guessing* that later releases of NX-OS probably use just the one file; extract what's needed; and set the proper system variables; but I'd like to verify this.  If that's not the case; then where does one go to find the system image file?

 

Perhaps someone might have a more "up to date" firmware upgrade example than that of the documentation I've found so far?

Never mind.  Today the website is showing me both the system and kickstart images for download; which for some unknown reason it didn't yesterday.

 

Problem solved.
