We recommend that you keep the kickstart and system image files for at least one previous software release
Caution
to use if the new image files do not load successfully.
Step 7 If you need more space on the active supervisor module bootflash, delete unnecessary files to make space available.
Example:
switch# delete bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N1.0.62.bin
switch# delete bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.0.1a.N1.0.62.bin
switch# delete bootflash:n5500-uk9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N1.0.62.bin
switch# delete bootflash:n5500-uk9.4.0.1a.N1.0.62.bin
Step 8 Copy the kickstart and system images to the switch bootflash using a transfer protocol. You can use ftp, tftp, scp, or
sftp. The examples in this procedure use scp.
Example:
switch# copy scp://user@scpserver.cisco.com/downloads/n5000-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
switch# copy scp://user@scpserver.cisco.com/downloads/n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
switch# copy scp://user@scpserver.cisco.com/downloads/n5500-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
bootflash:n5500-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
switch# copy scp://user@scpserver.cisco.com/downloads/n5500-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
bootflash:n5500-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
Step 9 Install the new images, specifying the new image names that you downloaded in the previous step.
Example:
switch# install all kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin system
bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
switch# install all kickstart bootflash:n5500-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin system
bootflash:n5500-uk9.4.1.3.N1.0.96.bin
The install all command performs the following actions:
• Performs compatibility checks (equivalent to the show incompatibility command) for the images that you have
specified. If there are compatibility issues, an error message is displayed and the installation does not proceed.
• Displays the compatibility check results and displays whether the installation is disruptive.
• Provides a prompt to allow you to continue or abort the installation.
Caution
• Updates the boot variables to reference the specified images and saves the configuration to the startup configuration
file.
Step 10 After the switch completes the installation, log in and verify that the switch is running the required software version.
