Hello group,
Anyone knows the difference between using the install all script or just update the boot system flash command when upgrading NX-OS on a Nexus 7K ? The question applies to a single supervisor setup. The official documentation mentions the two ways of doing it: - using the install all script: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/upgrade/gui de/b_Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Software_Upgrade_and_Downgrade_Guide__Rel ease_5.x_chapter_00.html#con_314241 - using the traditional procedure: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/upgrade/gui de/b_Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Software_Upgrade_and_Downgrade_Guide__Rel ease_5.x_chapter_00.html#task_39E26688E1204F8CAAE876450A575E73 I had a bad experience in the past with the install all script. I was doing an upgrade to a 7010 with only 1 supervisor that was installed in slot 6. The install all script has a problem, may a bug, it only correctly updates the boot variables for slot 5: boot kickstart bootflash:/n7000-s1-kickstart.5.2.3a.bin sup-1 boot system bootflash:/n7000-s1-dk9.5.2.3a.bin sup-1 boot kickstart bootflash:/n7000-s1-kickstart.5.1.3.bin sup-2 The install all script assumes that if there is only one supervisor, it should be on slot 5. Above we can see that the boot system is missing for sup-2. In summary, is there any problem if I simply update the boot variables and reload ? May I end up with the supervisor running the new NX-OS release and the modules the old NX-OS release ?
