Hi
We have Nexus 7018 with version
Software
BIOS: version 3.22.0
kickstart: version 4.2(6)
system: version 4.2(6)
BIOS compile time: 02/20/10
kickstart image file is: bootflash:/n7000-s1-kickstart.4.2.6.bin
system image file is: bootflash:/n7000-s1-dk9.4.2.6.bin
Since N7K-M108X2-12L module required version 5.1
we are upgrading to n7000-s1-kickstart.5.2.3a.bin,n7000-s1-dk9.5.2.3a.bin
during show install image system/kickstart impact, we are getting below error,
Compatibility check is done:
Module bootable Impact Install-type Reason
------ -------- -------------- ------------ ------
2 yes non-disruptive none
3 yes non-disruptive none
4 yes non-disruptive none
5 yes non-disruptive none
6 yes non-disruptive none
9 no n/a n/a Incompatible image
10 no n/a n/a Incompatible image
This means Supervisor module-1X N7K-SUP1 is not compatible with version 5.2.3a? which version we can upgrade inoder to support module
N7K-M108X2-12L
I have attached the full output log file.
Pls.suggest.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Rajesh,
Correct, you can do everything else, except the module does not operate in XL mode. So, once you are done with the upgrade, you should be able to use the module. VPC is just an Etherchannel with multiple 10Gig interfaces.
Good Luck

Hi Reza
This means, present Nexus 7018 with N7K-SUP1 will not support N7K-M108X2-12L ?
N7K-M108X2-12L - require 5.1 and N7K-SUP1 can go upto 5.0(5).
This means we cant have N7K-M108X2-12L module on this nexus switch.
Pls. clarify

Hi Reza
Would you pls. calrify N7K-M108X2-12L require 5.1 or 5.0.
If I upgrade NX-OS to 5.0(5) will it support module N7K-M108X2-12L ?
Any EPLD upgrade required along with this?

Hi,
According to the link I provided, if you upgrade to 5.0(5) then you should be fine provided you have the correct license installed. Look at the bottom of table-2, it says:
Requires the Cisco Nexus 7010 Scalable Feature Package license (N7K-C7010-XL) or the Cisco Nexus 7018 Scalable Feature Package license (N7K-C7018-XL), depending on the chassis, to enable all XL-capable I/O modules to operate in XL mode.

Hi Reza
We have only N7K-LAN1K9 license for NX 7018.
Now documentation says - Cisco Nexus 7018 Scalable Feature Package license (N7K-C7018-XL) to enable all XL-capable I/O modules to operate in XL mode.
Incase if we dont have this Feature Package license (N7K-C7018-XL), if we upgrade NX-OS to 5.0(5), module will be recognised and we can use this 10Gig module right ? only what we loose is module will not operate in XL mode.
We can use it for vPC peer link etc. right ?
Pls. clarify.
