Hi , Im worried that a previous upgrade on Nexus 5596UP did not work correctly as the boot variable on next reload does not reflect the running version, see below:
>>>>>> From sh vers:
Software
BIOS: version 3.6.0
loader: version N/A
kickstart: version 7.0(6)N1(1)
system: version 7.0(6)N1(1)
Power Sequencer Firmware:
Module 1: version v7.0
Module 2: version v1.0
Module 3: version v1.0
Microcontroller Firmware: version v1.0.0.2
SFP uC: Module 1: v1.0.0.0
QSFP uC: Module not detected
BIOS compile time: 05/09/2012
kickstart image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9-kickstart.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
kickstart compile time: 4/7/2015 4:00:00 [04/07/2015 13:05:58]
system image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
system compile time: 4/7/2015 4:00:00 [04/07/2015 18:04:26]
Hardware
cisco Nexus 5596 Chassis ("O2 48X10GE/Modular Supervisor")
>>>>> From show boot :
Current Boot Variables:
kickstart variable = bootflash:/n5000-uk9-kickstart.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
system variable = bootflash:/n5000-uk9.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
Boot POAP Disabled
Boot Variables on next reload:
kickstart variable = bootflash:/n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.2.1.N1.4.bin
system variable = bootflash:/n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.4.bin
Boot POAP Disabled
I would also like to know if we should perform another install all of the system and kickstart files ?
Any help appreciated.

Hi Dave,
as i know, you don't need do perform another install all because the upgrade seems to worked correctly (infact current running images are kickstart image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9-kickstart.7.0.6.N1.1.bin and system image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9.7.0.6.N1.1.bin .
Probably you need to re-set the boot variables reflecting new images using those commands :
no boot system bootflash:n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.4.bin
system bootflash:n5000-uk9.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
no boot kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.2.1.N1.4.bin
boot kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9.7.0.6.N1.1.bin
and then verify the boot variables on next reload issuing the show boot command.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi Alessandro,
This is resolved now, the problem i had initially is that I did the system boot statement first and it tell me this (to use an install all command):
MEDC2ASW01(config)# boot system bootflash:n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.6.bin
Warning: Changing bootvariables and reloading is not recommended on this platform. Use install all command for NX-OS upgrades/downgrades.
Performing image verification and compatibility check,please wait....
But if i do the kickstart first it works fine , but you must do a copy r s before you can see the results in a show boot. See below:
MEDC1ASW01(config)# boot kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.N2.6.bin
Performing image verification and compatibility check,please wait....
Note: system and kickstart bootvars are pointing to incompatible images
MEDC1ASW01(config)# boot system bootflash:n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.6.bin
Performing image verification and compatibility check,please wait....
MEDC1ASW01(config)#
MEDC1ASW01# copy r s
[########################################] 100%
Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...

Hi Dave,
i'm happy to know you solved the issue, but why are you setting 6.0.2.N2.6.bin and not 7.0.6.N1?

Alessandro
