Hi guys
the plan is to upgrade nexus sup1 from 6.2.8 to 6.2.16.
i have run the install command as per below and it looks i can do direct upgrade.
The result is good there is no incompatibility issue
| Compatibility check is done: |
| Module bootable Impact Install-type Reason |
| ------ -------- -------------- ------------ ------ |
| 1 yes non-disruptive rolling |
| 2 yes non-disruptive rolling |
| 5 yes non-disruptive reset |
| 6 yes non-disruptive reset |
| 9 yes non-disruptive rolling |
| 10 yes non-disruptive rolling |
However, when i check the upgrade guide, for direct upgrade to 6.2.16, the minimum version is 6.2.8(a)

Questions:
1. can i perform direct upgrade from 6.2.8 to 6.2.16 using ISSU or i need to upgrade to supported version first ie 6.2.(8a)
2. If i use manual upgrade, can i directly upgrade to 8.2.16 version? normally how long is the down time?
thanks guys.
