MDS 9222i upgrade to 5.01(a)

[Fred Bingman]

I have an MDS 9222i that is at 3.23(a) and I want to go to 5.01a.  The tech papaers say to go to version 3.3 then to 4.2 then to 5.01 for a non disruptive upgrade.  The switch has only 1 Sup card which means any upgrade is going to be disruptive.  Here is the question:

Can I skip any of these upgrades and get to 5.01(a) faster.  My only concern about being disruptive is I cannot lose the Configuration info ( zones,fcalias, etc.).

Thanks,

Bing

Fred, i think you already got your answer on Powerlink ..do not skip versions.

"The switch has only 1 Sup card which means any upgrade is going to be disruptive. "

Actually MDS 9222i and also MDS 9124/9134 and MDS 9148 all support non-disruptive upgrade, despite having one supervisor.
