Nexus 7010 Incompatible Image

[Mokhalil82]

Hi 

I am looking to upgrade the image on my nexus switches. I have copied the IOS and kickstart over and ran the "show install all impact" command, and it shows as "Incompatible Image" next to the supervisor modules.

Any ideas why this is? (Please see attached screenshot)

Thanks

Table 1 Existing Deployments

^1.NX-OS 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, and 6.1 have been announced End-of-Sale/End-of-Life (EoL). While NX-OS Release 5.2(9a) and Release 6.1(5a) are viable releases, they are announced EoS/EoL. Release 6.2 (14) may be a better option because of continued planned maintenance releases. For more information, refer to the announcements at the following link:

Hi 

So this table shows the minimum release and the recommended release. Does that mean I am geting the incompatible image message because I am on a release earlier than the minimum?

Yes you are correct.
