Solved: Nexus 5548P how much time for nxos upgrade

AP83332 · ‎01-25-2021

Hi everyone,

I would like advice regarding nxos software upgrade in non-ISSU mode for Nexus 5548P. I should update the nxos release of this device, and I would like to estimate the times (minutes..hours ..) it will take to get back up in forwarding. How long does it take for a Nexus 5K device to complete the nx-os update and get back up and running?

Thanks!

Hi @AP83332

Most of the times, the upgrade itself, from the moment you enter the "install all" command and until it comes back up, it should be less then 40 minutes. If (and most likely) is configured in vPC, the upgrade needs to be sequential, so double that time. If you have FEXs connected, add another 40 minutes for each FEX.

Add 1-2 extra hour(s) in case you face any unexpected problems after upgrade.

Cheers,

Sergiu
