We recommend that you keep the kickstart and system image files for at least one previous software
release to use if the new image files do not load successfully.
Caution
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
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
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
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.
After completing the installation, all traffic through the switch is disrupted while the switch
reboots.
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.
