NX-OS upgrade question

[Craddockc]

Dear community,

When running the impact assessment on the Nexus 9K it states that the install will be disruptive. however, the upgrade is only a minor one. My question is this:

Under what circumstances will an NX-OS upgrade be disruptive vs non-disruptive?

I was under the impression that minor upgrades can be done via ISSU.

Compatibility check is done:
Module bootable Impact Install-type Reason
------ -------- -------------- ------------ ------
1 yes disruptive reset default upgrade is not hitless
101 yes disruptive reset default upgrade is not hitless

Images will be upgraded according to following table:
Module Image Running-Version(pri:alt) New-Version Upg-Required
------ ---------- ---------------------------------------- -------------------- ------------
1           nxos        7.0(3)I7(4)                 7.0(3)I7(6)        yes
1           bios v07.59(08/26/2016):v07.17(09/10/2014) v07.65(09/04/2018) yes
101       fex4       7.0(3)I7(4)                 7.0(3)I7(6)         yes

Thanks.

Hello,

Disruptive is the default method.

Try with install all nxos bootflash:xxx non-disruptive
