ISSU for Nx7K Upgrade?

[navydivervet]

Upgrading Sup1 Modules, to Sup2 on Nexus 7010 to  6.2(16)  to 7.3(3)D1(1). Can this be done via ISSU? If not, then what are the determining factors? Would prefer to do this in a non-disruptive method if possible

Hello,

Supervisor upgrade from SUP1 to SUP2 is disruptive, there is no way to do it without powering the whole chassis down.

HTH,

Understood, but with a VPC to another switch (active/active), Can I accomplish this with Zero downtime?

Hello,

If you have a VPC deployment no those N7K you will definitely be able to do it without downtime.

Would I need to change the vpc priorities on the non-upgraded switch, while both Sups are being changed (and chassis powered down) in the other? Or, will that just happen once the peer link and keepalive are gone? Trying to map out the sequence that results in no downtime
