I would like to perform nondisruptive upgrades on two Cisco Nexus 5010s that currently run NX-OS version 4.1(3)N2(1) to
Release 5.1(3)N2(1a). Is this possible? Or, do I need to upgrade to Release 5.0(2)N1(1) first?
Thank you in advance for all assistance/insights.

You should be able to do an ISSU to NS-OS version 5.0(3)N2(2b) before continuing.

Good afternoon Leo,
I was mistaken regarding the starting release for the Nexus 5010Ps. They are both currently running 4.2(1)N1(1). When I run through the pre-upgrade verification process I am informed that I must peform a disruptive upgrade to 5.0(3)N2(2b) due to STP configuration issues with upstream Cisco 4900s. That is OK. I plan to perform the disruptive upgrade to 5.0(3)N2(2b) on both switches and then perform another disruptive upgrade on each to reach release 5.1(3)N2(1a) during a maintenance window this weekend. To the best of your knowledge, are there any further caveats that I need to plan for during this upgrade process?
Thanks again for your insights.

Hi Rick,
The method you mentioned will work fine. When I work with customers on an upgrade, I usually do them one at a time when they are disruptive. That way if you are using vPC traffic can continue on the active switch while the other reloads for the upgrade.
