N5K 5596UP upgrade from 5.2(1)n1(5) to 7.2(0)N1(1)

[Irana Cordero V - DXC]

 I need to perform an upgrade from this 5 [5.2(1)n1(5)] train to the 7 [7.2(0)N1(1)] train but I would like to have confirmation about the proper upgrade path to make this happen as smooth as possible.

I checked several release notes but I need to have 100% confirmation on what will be the best process to follow.

Thanks !

You'll have to upgrade to 7.0(5)N1(1) first then to 7.2(0)N1(1)
