Nexus 5548 Upgrade procedure from NXOS version 5.0(3)N2(2) to version 7.0(5)N(1)

[Luke Akpor]

Hi All,

Can I upgrade NXOS version directly 5.0(3)N2(2) to version 7.0(5)N(1) directly via a USB stick?

Or do I need to follow a two-step process for this?

Please note I have some N2Ks attached to each N5Ks as well.

The release notes and not quite clear enough or if someone can point me in the right direction, that will be great.

Thanks

Luke,

But in general:

To use the ISSU process for Release 5.0(2)N1(1) through Release 5.1(3)N2(1c), you must first upgrade to Release 5.2(1)N1(1). After that, use the ISSU process to upgrade to Release 7.0(5)N1(1).
