How to upgrade a Cisco Nexus 9k / 93180Y-EC
This guide is my step by step guide on how to upgrade a nexus 9k. This is specifically done on a 93180Y-EC
Make sure you have a valid service contract assigned to your CCO, and then download the relevant software from www.cisco.com/go/software
I prefer using the USB port to upgrade them, so once you've downloaded the software copy them onto a USB.
Plug the USB drive into the Nexus, and then from the CLI, you can run dir /usb1:// to check
Nexus-Core01# dir usb1://
