I just did my first firmware upgrade on a Nexus 9300. Reading the release notes, I expected I would upgrade the primary and it would reboot to golden, which would then get upgraded. But it rebooted to the primary. When I then attempted to upgrade ...

So it updated some further 93108TCs and the first couple did allow me to upgrade the golden side. These '108s happened to be purchased like half a year before, in 3Q2019, IIRC. The first set I did was from somewhere in 2020. But as I went on to 93...

I'd actually read that after posting, as it showed up in the "Recommended for you". Interesting that he used "install all epld...", where I followed the first section of the release notes and used "install epld...". And now I find that way further...
