用户的两台nexus5548已经使用很多年了，系统版本是5.2.1，一些高级功能在5.2.1中不被支持。因业务需要，需要对这两台5548进行升级，查看文档，得知要将当前版本升级到7.3.5不能一步到位。

为了保证升级的稳定，我制定的升级步骤是先升到6.0.2.N2.7，然后再升级到7.1.4.N1.1，最后再升级到7.3.5。

准备工作：

1、准备相应版本的NX-OS

2、在本机搭建一台FTP服务器。


下面升级马上开始：

升级前做好配置文件的备份，事实证明，这样做是对的！

1、通过命令将系统文件上传到N5548中，命令如下：

5548_A# copy ftp://10.96.1.240/n5000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.N2.7.bin bootflash:

5548_A# copy ftp://10.96.1.240/n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.7.bin bootflash:

在这里我没有一次性将所有的文件都上传上去，因为空间不够，所以升一个版本上传一个版本。


2、安装升级

用户的环境中是两台5548做的HSRP，在这里我先升级的Active
5548_A# install all kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.N2.7.bin system bootflash:n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.7.bin

待系统重启后升级完成。按照同样的方法对standby进行升级。6.0.2.N2升级完成之后，系统没有问题，各应用也正常。

下面接着升级。

在这里我只截取部分内容：

Images will be upgraded according to following table:

------  ----------------  ----------------------  ----------------------  ------------
     1            system             6.0(2)N2(7)             7.1(4)N1(1)           yes
     1         kickstart             6.0(2)N2(7)             7.1(4)N1(1)           yes

     1   microcontroller                v1.2.0.1                v1.2.0.1            no


不知道为什么，在我升级到7.1.4的时候出了点状况，配置文件中关于FC的部分配置丢失了！！还好事前备份了配置文件，迅速修改配置后，系统恢复。

最后从7.1升级到7.3，升级完成后配置文件没有丢失，系统正常！整个升级过程虽然出了点小插曲，不过还算正常。
