Récupérer le NX-OS et le Kickstart sur le site Cisco
Déposer les fichiers sur les Nexus, dans notre cas ceci a été réalisé en TFTP.
N5K-01# copy tftp: bootflash:

Je vous conseille de vérifier la compatibilité entre votre configuration et le nouveau firmware
N5K-01# show incompatibility system bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.1.3.N2.1a.bin
The following configurations on active are incompatible with the system image
1) Service : flogi , Capability : CAP_FEATURE_NPIV
Description : N_Port_ID Virtualization (NPIV) Feature
Capability requirement : STRICT
Disable command : no npiv enable
Dans notre cas le système trouve une incompatibilité entre la mise à jour et le fait que la fonction npiv soit activée
Nous avons néanmoins passé la mise à jour.
N5K-01# install all kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N2.1a.bin system bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.1.3.N2.1a.bin
et nous voici, après reboot de l’équipement, avec un NX-OS mis à jour
