NX5020 upgrade to release 5.2

[Rosa Ladera]

I want to upgrade software release of a NX 5020.

It has de following modules:

1    40     40x10GE/Supervisor               N5K-C5020P-BF          active *
2    8      4x10GE + 4x1/2/4G FC Module      N5K-M1404              ok
3    6      6x10GE Ethernet Module           N5K-M1600              ok

It is running :

Software
  BIOS:      version 1.2.0
  loader:    version N/A
  kickstart: version 4.0(1a)N2(1)
  system:    version 4.0(1a)N2(1)
  BIOS compile time:       06/19/08
  kickstart image file is: bootflash:/n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N2.1.bin
  kickstart compile time:  2/25/2009 0:00:00 [02/25/2009 05:29:12]
  system image file is:    bootflash:/n5000-uk9.4.0.1a.N2.1.bin
  system compile time:     2/25/2009 0:00:00 [02/25/2009 05:56:57]

I have read that I should upgrade in steps.

4.0.1a.N2 to 4.2.1.N2.1a

4.2.1.N2.1a to 5.0.3.N2.2a

5.0.3.N2.2a to  5.2(1)N1(8b)

Release notes says C5020P-BF can run 5.2(1)N1(8b), but I can not find if N5K-M1404 and N5K-M1600 also can.

Does anybody know ?

Regards

Rosa

Hi,

NX-OS 5.2(1)N1(8b) is the recommended version.  This image should support all the modules you have installed.
