Hi,
We got a Nexus 7010 wich software version below
BIOS: version 3.22.0
kickstart: version 5.1(1)
system: version 5.1(1)
kickstart image file is: bootflash:///n7000-s1-kickstart.5.1.1.bin
system image file is: bootflash:///n7000-s1-dk9.5.1.1.bin
Since we try to upgrade the software version to n7000-s1-dk9.5.2.1.bin
and run the show install all impact kickstart bootflash:n7000-s1-kickstart.5.2.1.bin system bootflash:n7000-s1-dk9.5.2.1.bin
Compatibility check is done:
Module bootable Impact Install-type Reason
------ -------- -------------- ------------ ------
1 yes disruptive reset Incompatible image
5 yes disruptive reset Incompatible image
6 yes disruptive reset Incompatible image
9 yes disruptive reset Incompatible image
10 yes disruptive reset Incompatible image
All the line card and supervisor are incompatible.
But I check the release note, it shows N7K-SUP1 supported since ver 4.0(1)
Is there something I miss?!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
What this message is telling you is that an In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) is not supported and so the impact of the upgrade will be disruptive. If you look at the General Upgrade/Downgrade Caveats in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS 5.2 Release Notes you'll see that ISSU to 5.2(x) is only supported when upgrading from NX-OS release 5.1(1a), 5.1(3) or 5.1(4).
If you don't need ISSU then you can simply do a disruptive upgrade, or if ISSU to NX-OS 5.2 is required, then you should perform an ISSU to one of 5.1(1a), 5.1(3) or 5.1(4) and then upgrade to NX-OS 5.2(1).
As an aside is there any particular reason you've chosen NX-OS 5.2(1)? The NX-OS 5.2 release currently has maintenance releases up to and including NX-OS 5.2(9) and choosing a later release would be preferable. Cisco provide some guidance as to the release in the Minimum Recommended Cisco NX-OS Releases for Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches document.
