Tip 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.
Step 8 If you need more space on the active supervisor module bootflash, delete unnecessary files to make space
available.
switch# delete bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.0.N1.1.445.bin
switch# delete bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.0.0.N1.1.445.bin
Step 9 Copy the kickstart and system images to the supervisor module bootflash using a transfer protocol. You
can use ftp:, tftp:, scp:, or sftp:. The examples in this procedure use scp:.
switch# copy scp://[e-mail]//downloads/n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.0.N1.2.bin
bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.0.N1.2.bin
switch# copy scp://[e-mail]//downloads/n5000-uk9.4.0.0.N1.2.bin
bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.0.0.N1.2.bin
Step 10 Install the new images, specifying the new image names that you downloaded in step 9.
switch(config)# install all kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.4.0.0.N1.2.bin system
bootflash:n5000-uk9.4.0.0.N1.2.bin
The install 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.
