Cisco Nexus 9000交换机Convert Image from NXOS to ACI Image

当前1台Nexus93108，运行NXOS镜像，
现在需要用在ACI环境 ，当作Leaf交换机，所以需要转换镜像模式，否则无法注册到APIC上

1 下载ACI image

选择分类ACI镜像
选择对应的版本，下载

2 将ACI 镜像导入bootflash

可以通过SCP，FTP或直接使用U盘方式

2.1 SCP 或 FTP方式

SCP和FTP没啥说的，电脑上开个ftp server，镜像文件放在目录下，
通过telnet或SSH登录Nexus93108交换机之后，使用copy命令即可拷贝

copy ftp://cisco:123456@10.48.1.1/aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin  bootflash:

2.2 U盘方式拷贝

U盘方式就更简单了，

2.2.1 从电脑上将镜像文件拷贝到U盘

2.2.2 U盘插到引擎上，检查U盘内容

NEXUS-93108# dir usb1:
  2138114048    Apr 04 23:54:24 2024 aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin

2.2.3 拷贝U盘中的IOS到bootfalsh

NEXUS-93108# copy usb1:aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin bootflash:
Copy progress 100% 538114KB
Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...

2.2.4 检查bootflash文件拷贝成功

NEXUS-93108# dir bootflash: 
          0    Nov 20 12:55:12 2024 20151120_125512_poap_6630_init.log
        143    Feb 24 11:42:13 2024  20160224_114208_poap_7573_init.log
   2138114048    Nov 20 12:44:27 2024 aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin

3 设置从ACI image启动

Nexus9000(config)#no boot nxos
Nexus9000(config)#copy run startup-config
Nexus9000(config)# boot aci bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.15.2.7g.bin
Nexus9000(config)#exit  
Nexus9000# reload    (直接重启，一定不要保存）

重启后就会加载ACI 镜像了
