Prerequisites

page 7.
Note For information about upgrading Cisco Nexus 1000V software on a VSB, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure you must know or do the following:
• To keep VSMs available, reload the redundant VSB modules separately as described in this
procedure.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 From the Cisco Nexus 1010 serial over LAN connection, copy any unsaved configuration from the
running configuration to startup so that it is preserved after the reload.
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch# copy running-config startup-config
[########################################] 100%
switch#
Step 2 Copy the new software image from the external server to the following directory.
bootflash: \repository
copy scp://user@path/filename bootflash:filename
Example:
n1010# copy scp://[e-mail]/home/user/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.3.iso
bootflash:repository
Enter vrf (If no input, current vrf 'default' is considered):
[e-mail]'s password:
nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.3.iso 100% 258234 10.3KB/s 00:15
n1010#
Step 3 Install the new image.
install nexus1010 full_path_to_filename
The following things occur on the switch:
• The new software image is copied to bootflash.
• Bootflash variables are updated with the names of the new system and kickstart images.
• The new image and bootflash variable information is saved in the running configuration.
Example:
switch# install nexus1010 bootflash:repository/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.3.iso
Step 4 Save the new boot parameters in the startup configuration.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
