Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX NXOS To ACI System Migration Guidelines
Time: 2024-11-06
I. Pre-Upgrade Preparation
1. USB 2.0 flash drive (formatted with FAT32 file system)
2. ACI system image file
3. Console cable
4. Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX switch and a computer
II. Precautions
1. Do not cut off the switch power supply during system image upgrade to avoid device damage.
2. Before flashing the ACI image, verify that your hardware supports the ACI system.
Check the official hardware compatibility list in the release notes on the ACI image download page.
III. System Switching Steps
1. Save the ACI system .bin image file to the USB flash drive, then insert the drive into the switch USB port. Record the full name of the ACI image file.
2. Access privileged mode, and run the following command to copy the ACI image from USB to switch bootflash:
copy usb2:aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin
Use the dir command to confirm the image file is uploaded successfully.
3. Enter global configuration mode, disable the default NXOS boot option:
no boot nxos
copy running-config startup-config
4. Set the ACI image as the default boot file:
boot aci bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin
Enter y to confirm when prompted.
Do not save the configuration after this command. Reboot the switch to start the ACI system conversion.
5. After rebooting, run the following command to verify the ACI system version:
show version
IV. NXOS System Recovery
The above steps convert the switch from NXOS to ACI. Follow the steps below to restore the NXOS system.
1. Reboot the switch, press Ctrl+C during startup to interrupt the boot process and enter loader mode.
Use the dir command to view the NXOS image file stored in bootflash.
2. Boot from the NXOS image (file name for reference only):
boot nxos.9.3.9.bin
The switch will start restoring the NXOS system.
3. After startup, run show version to confirm successful NXOS restoration.
Reconfigure the admin password, set NXOS as the default boot image, and save the configuration.
For detailed operations, refer to the official Cisco C93180 upgrade documentation.
