MDS 9222i Code Upgrade
Hi All. It has been a long time since my last post...!
I am in the process of upgrading my MDS 9222i switches from 3.3(1c) to probably NX 413a (prob a "period" in there somewhere but not sure where
.
The existing code has been very good with the exception of the well known 497 day reload, which is the only reason why I am upgrading.
1. Who has done an upgrade similar to mine (HW, existing and target code, etc)?
2. Any issues with a NDU upgrade? My gut tells me to reload (warm and fuzzy feeling to see the uptime reset to zero) after any type of upgrade but if it is truly safe then maybe I will not.
Thanks guys!

Until august this year our target code was 4.1(1c), but now it's 4.1(3a). The 497 day bug was the main reason that we informed all of our customers to have their firmwares upgraded to 3.3.2 or (our advice) NX-OS 4.1(1c). We've been busy working on this upgrade since december last year.

After you've done, you know the drill. But read the release notes as in some upgrades you first need to upgrade to a version inbetween the start and end firmware level !

It will be close, I will be around that time too
Do you plan to reload the switches?
Is there a reason why you are going with 4.1.1b and not 4.1.3a (1 rev back??)

What does it mean by true reboot (497 bug)?
Did you reload your switches manually after the upgrades or was it truly NDU?
Since December, all I can say is wow!

So, which switch do you like best? Lets say it together now, C-I-S-C-O...
Or should I ask you after 0ct 17?

It looks like I have a prerequisite to upggrading my sanos. Invista rev 2.2p2, doesn't support 3.3x code but Invista 2.3 does - barely. It supports 3.3(2).
