salt.modules.nxos_upgrade

Execution module to upgrade Cisco NX-OS Switches.

New in version 3001.

This module supports execution using a Proxy Minion or Native Minion:

Proxy Minion: Connect over SSH or NX-API HTTP(S). See salt.proxy.nxos for proxy minion setup details.
Native Minion: Connect over NX-API Unix Domain Socket (UDS). Install the minion inside the GuestShell running on the NX-OS device.

maturity: new
platform: nxos
codeauthor: Michael G Wiebe

Note

To use this module over remote NX-API the feature must be enabled on the NX-OS device by executing feature nxapi in configuration mode.

This is not required for NX-API over UDS.

Configuration example:

switch# conf t
switch(config)# feature nxapi

To check that NX-API is properly enabled, execute show nxapi.

Output example:

switch# show nxapi
nxapi enabled
HTTPS Listen on port 443

salt.modules.nxos_upgrade.check_upgrade_impact(system_image, kickstart_image=None, issu=True, **kwargs)
