Having Issue NXOS Upgrade For Nexus 3132Q-X

[SamW8]

Hi Every Cisco Expert,

I am trying to perform NXOS upgrade for my Nexus 3132Q-X devices from image n3000-uk9.6.0.2.U5.2.bin to n3100-compact.9.3.7.bin. However, I had encounter a weird issue that shown as screenshot below.

switch# show incompatibility system bootflash:n3100-compact.9.3.7.bin
The following configurations on active are incompatible with the system image
1) Service : ethpm , Capability : CAP_FEATURE_ETHPM_ERR_DIS_DETECT_ALL_ENABLED
Description : ETHPM - errdisable recovery feature is enabled
Capability requirement : STRICT
Disable command : "errdisable detect cause all"

2) Service : pfma , Capability : CAP_FEATURE_REVERSIBLE_AIR_FLOW
Description : Back-to-Front air flow module present
Capability requirement : STRICT
Disable command : Replace each Back-to-Front air flow module with a Front-to-Back air flow module

3) Service : evms , Capability : CAP_FEATURE_EEM_SUPPORT
Description : EEM - Embedded Event Manager is supported.
Capability requirement : LOOSE
Disable command : EEM config will be lost

4) Service : bcm_usd , Capability : CAP_FEATURE_HW_PROFILE_PORT_MODE_2_TUPLE
Description : If harware profile port mode is changed from the default value of
the platform,or 2-Tuple is enabled, Port configurations will fail after downgrade
Capability requirement : LOOSE
Disable command :
to get back to default mode execute 'no hardware profile portmode'

switch#

I had applied no errdisable detect cause all, and no hardware profile portmode and copy running config running start to save it,

Issue still remain.

I also did not see any EEM when I applied show event manager environment all

switch# show event manager environment all

Hope someone can mentoring me how to resolve above issues that I encountered.

Million Thanks in advance.

 - Probably the warnings are buggy, I would go ahead and upgrade.

Hi M,

switch# show install all impact kickstart bootflash:n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U6.10.bin system bootflash:n3100-compact.9.3.7.bin
Installer is forced disruptive

Verifying image bootflash:/n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U6.10.bin for boot variable "kickstart".
[########################################] 100% -- SUCCESS

Verifying image bootflash:/n3100-compact.9.3.7.bin for boot variable "system".
[# ] 0% -- FAIL. Return code 0x40930011 (Image verification failed).
Pre-upgrade check failed. Return code 0x40930011 (Image verification failed).
switch#

I had applied install all command, and I got the failed verification message above, and I ran show incompatibility system bootflash:n3100-compact.9.3.7.bin command, and got those issue I encounter. 

Now no clue on how to removed those issue message.

I ran "no errdisable detect cause all" and message not go away.

There are no any EEM policy, and I ran "no hardware profile portmode" and save the config and reboot the device and fail validation still there and incompatibility still showing same message and not resolve any 1 of those.

I had Write Erase Boot to erase all config and repeat installation, and issue still persists. 

Any Clue on how to factory reset N3K devices and clean entire devices back to original state of brand new devices setting?

Best Regards,

SamW

  Use the Workaround suggested, but make  verify the md5sum of the intended image first (also make sure the correct image-type is downloaded)
