Level 1

        hello folks - I'm about to perform an upgrade on two Nexus 7010 switches per above. Can I directly upgrade or, do I need to go from version 4 to 5.x and then to 6??

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You cant upgrade directly.

Ref

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/6_x/nx-os/release/notes/61_nx-os_release_note.html#wp543166

Table 7     Multistep ISSU Paths to the Current Release

Starting Release

Intermediate Release

Destination Release

4.2(6), 5.0(3), 5.1(3), or 5.1(5)

5.2(7)1

6.1(4)

2-

Refer to Table 4 for the nondisruptive upgrade (ISSU) path to, and nondisruptive downgrade (ISSD) path from Cisco NX-OS Release 6.0(x). Releases that are not listed for a particular release train do not support a direct ISSU or ISSD to the current release.

Table 4     ISSU and ISSD Paths to the Current Release

Current Release

Release Train

Releases That Support ISSU to Current Release

Releases That Support ISSD from Current Release

Cisco NX-OS Release 6.0(4)

6.0

6.0(1), 6.0(2), 6.0(3)

6.0(1), 6.0(2), 6.0(3)

5.2

5.2(1), 5.2(3a), 5.2(4), 5.2(5), 5.2(7)

1 Before performing an ISSU to NX-OS Release 6.0(x), see the IPFIB Errors caveat in this section.
