Cisco Nexus 1010 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide, Release 4.2(1) SP1(3)
OL-24455-A1
Prerequisites
Note For information about upgrading Cisco Nexus 1000V software on a VSB, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V
Software Upgrade Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(4a).
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://user@linux-box.cisco.com/home/user/nexus-1010.4.2.1.SP1.1.3.iso
bootflash:repository
Enter vrf (If no input, current vrf 'default' is considered):
user@linux-box.cisco.com's password:
nexus-1010.4.2.1.sp1.3.iso 100% 258234 10.3KB/s 00:15
n1010#
Step 3 Install the new image.
install nexus1010 full_path_to_filename
Example:
switch# install nexus1010 bootflash:repository/nexus-1010.4.2.1.sp1.3.iso
The following things occur on the switch:
• The new software image is copied to bootflash and the standby Cisco Nexus 1010 is upgraded.
• 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 startup configuration.
• The active reloads the standby with the new software version.
• The system waits for all VSBs to come up before the standby takes over and reloads the active with
the new software version.
Step 4 From the CLI for each module, verify that both modules are in HA mode.
show system redundancy status
Example:
switch# show system redundancy status
Redundancy role
---------------
administrative: primary
