Upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 question

We are currently testing 5.1.0.44.2.  Due to design problem in 5.1.0.44.2 that would allow us to implement the product with the wildcard functionality we have in 4.2, we werent able to roll this into production.  Had we known about this deficiency, we wouldnt have ordered the product.  After multiple TAC calls, we found out that a future release/update would have the wildcard function we needed.  Otherwise, we are looking at a significant configuration change to close to 500 devices firmwide.
I have been looking for the info on upgrading and dont see a clear path.  Do I download the FCS ISO for 5.2 and the latest patch to start with ?  Since we never went to production, is there an upgrade path that allows me to keep the installed license or do I just blow out what we have and then replace the license ?  Since we have smartnet on this, I am assuming that our existing license from 5.1 should work on 5.2 or will I need to get a new license from Cisco Licensing ?
Thanks,
Ron

Base on the release notes
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/release/notes/52_nx-os_release_note.html#wp423588
You need to upgrade to 5.1.(3), and from there, the upgrade to 5.2.7 is supported using ISSU i assume. Worst case, the system will prompt you the the upgrade going to be distruptive or not before proceeding with the upgrade.
But in release note 5.1(X), it did not mentioned that upgrading from 5.1(2) will be distruptive or not since 5.1(2) has been deffered.
Thanks

  • Upgrading from 15" MBP to 13" MBP (questions on Adobe CS/Microsoft)

    Hi there,
    I have an existing MBP 15" running Snow Leopard that I use for work. I will be purchasing a new 13" from Apple which has Lion to replace my work computer. However, I will be keeping my 15" and would like to upgrade that to Lion (will purchase the Lion software). In addition, on my 15" I have Adobe CS4 and Microsoft Office 2008. I have purchaed the upgrade to Adobe CS5.5 and the new Office 2011 (finally with Outook) which I intend to use on both computers (this is all within the license agreements - installing on 2 computers used by the same user, but not running at the same time).
    I basically want the 15" and 13" to mirror each other. I know I can do this with Migration Assistant, but I have questions on the way to prep the computers first before doing so (mainly my concern is tranferring Adobe CS programs versus installing them from the CDs and trasnferring from a Snow Leopard OS to a Lion OS). If anyone has any advice on the options I've listed below, I would really appreciate it. I also plan to post to the Adobe and Microsoft forums but thought I would start here first.
    Option 1: Is it better to first upgrade EVERYTHING on the 15" and then use Migration Assistant to tranfser everything including apps to the 13"? This means on the 15", first upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, then install the upgrade to Adobe CS5.5, install Office 2011 (transfer from Entourage email to Outlook) and then transfer everything to 13" new computer.
    Option 2: Should I only upgrade the 15" OS to Lion and then transfer all the apps as is (Adobe CS4/Microsoft Office 2008) to the 13"? After the tranfsfer, then on both computers, I would install from the CDs the Adobe CS5.5 upgrade and Microsoft Office 2011.
    Option 3: Should I just transfer everything as is (without upgrading first) from the 15" to the the 13"? This means after the transfer, on the 15" I would install Lion, then CS5.5 upgrade, then Office 2011 from CDs. Then on the 13", I would install from the CDs Adobe CS4, then CS5.5 upgrade, then Office 2011 (I don't really need 2008 on the 13" as this will be my work computer that I need Outlook for).
    I'm also wondering in general regarding Entourage to Outlook if is better to do that transfer of email on my Snow Leopard computer first or Lion or does it really matter?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Mid 2009 to 2011...
    Will be a good test whether I/O trumps pure processing. Now, if the OP lucks out and gets the 13" when this year's iteration comes out (Ivy Bridge), then I'll raise the white flag and accept "upgrade".

  • Upgrade from Tiger to Leopard: Boot Camp Question

    I am considering upgrading from 10.4.11 to Leopard. I am using (still) the Boot Camp Beta program and have a considerable amount of data stored in my WIN partition. The Apple web site has this to say:
    +Already running Boot Camp? Even easier.+
    +If you’re already working with Boot Camp Beta, you’re practically finished before you start. All you need is some new drivers. To install them, simply start up your Mac in Windows and update the drivers from the Leopard DVD.+
    Am I to understand from this that I can upgrade to Leopard without having to wipe clean my HD first? I can keep the partition intact with all the data on both the Mac and Win sides? If this is true, then I am REALLY going to consider this upgrade? All along I felt that I would lose everything on the HD and have to reinstall it all. At this point I do not want to do that.
    I am looking for feedback from folks in my situation who have upgraded and/or Apple techs that know folks who have done this.
    Furthermore, once the switch was made, would I then have some control over the resizing of the partition?

    Hi NoBite;
    While I agree with William as far he went with his answer, I think there is a bit more to this then what he said. While it is true that only the Erase & Install will wipe out all the data, the other methods can wipe the data if the wrong thing such as a power failure happens at the wrong time. Hence the reason I alway suggest having a bootable clone before any major undertaken with you system.

  • Want to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and have questions...

    I recently purchased an Airport extreme after my previous router/wifi unit went up in smoke. Had to use the PC with XP to set it up as the iMac has 10.4.11 and I supposedly need 10.5.x to setup the airport with the iMac. From reading the upgrade specs and system requirements, it appears I have no issue upgrading... just have to find a copy of Leopard. There in lies my question, as copies are no longer available from Apple (per what I was told at the store, and don't see them on the web), if I buy a copy off ebay or Craig's list, unless I can find a brand new sealed box.... do I take the chance of buying a copy that somebody installed, and now the serial number is registered and therefore is no good anymore? How does that work, is the serial number of the software registered to the machine serial number and once used, the disk is worthless on another computer? I realize that there are "family" copies and developer copies with what, 5 licenses and unlimited? What about the standard "retail" package, once it's installed it's worthless to anybody but the person that originally used it?

    There is no serial numbering/registration. This is not Windows. You are on your honor.
    You always take a chance purchasing from eBay and Craig's List in as much as most of these sellers do not know what they are selling and/or miss-represent the item. Can't tell you how many folks come here trying to install an OS unsuccessfully only to find out that they bought a machine specific OS version that the seller swore would work on their Mac.

  • Upgrading from 10.2.8 to Tiger, questions?

    I've never upgraded my OS. I've had my G4 for two years and have enjoyed using it very much. I recently purchased an external Lacie DVD/CD Burner with lightscribe capabilities, but I can't use it with my current OS. I went ahead and bought Tiger, and started to install but then I aborted when after RESTART the G4 was stuck at the bright initial image with the Apple icon and the spinning wheel.
    It was in this mode for almost 10 minutes, so I finally did a hard boot, and ejected the install disk. When it came back I saw three icons: In the center was my hard drive icon with an OS blue "X" on it, to the left was a circular arrow icon, and to the right was a straight arrow icon pointing to the right.
    Everything seemed to come normally when I clicked on the arrow pointing to the right.
    So, here's the deal. I want to upgrade to Tiger, but before I do it again I would like to get some informative answers to a few of my questions.
    By attempting to install the new OS and stopping it, did I do anything wrong that I need to go in and fix?
    Should I back-up my Home Directory files before installing?
    Do I need to upgrade to Panther before I can upgrade to Tiger?
    What info should I document prior to the install, ie internet settings, that may get wiped when I do the install?
    Also, should a do a full install, or a custom?
    I use Final Cut Pro and it's companion programs almost every day, and I would hate for anything to jeapordize these programs. If there is anything I need to be wary of, please let me know.
    Thanks for all your input and advice.

    Hi Christopher,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    By attempting to install the new OS and stopping it, did I do anything wrong that I need to go in and fix?
    Something obviously went wrong, but I'm wondering if you got a viable Tiger install: go to Apple Menu>About This Mac and see what version of OSX it lists.
    Should I back-up my Home Directory files before installing?
    Yes. Should always be backed up, but even more so when installing a new OS.
    Do I need to upgrade to Panther before I can upgrade to Tiger?
    No.
    What info should I document prior to the install, ie internet settings, that may get wiped when I do the install?
    Your ISP connection settings and Mail would be helpful so you don't have to figure them out again; you may want to take screen shots of them.
    Also, should a do a full install, or a custom?
    If you do an Upgrade or Archive and Install, it should leave your settings and home folder intact so you may not have to reset much. However, if one of those doesn't work (there was obviously some kind of issue first time around - and btw, which install option did you choose?) you may have to do an Erase and Install, in which case everything will be erased and only Tiger installed.
    Also, do you want OS9 and/or Classic?
    I use Final Cut Pro and it's companion programs almost every day, and I would hate for anything to jeapordize these programs. If there is anything I need to be wary of, please let me know.
    You'll need to check with the makers of your software to see what's Tiger compatible, what will need to be upgraded and at what cost.

  • RAM Upgrade from 2GB to 4GB -- Lots of questions...

    I have a MacPro with the two dual core processors. It has 2GB of RAM in the form of four 512GB 667MHz RAM chips.
    I want to double my RAM to 4GB, and I wonder what's the best way to do that?
    If I double the existing RAM, that would mean 4 more 512GB RAM chips, all running at 667MHz. That would use ALL my chip slots, so that's the most RAM I'd be able to have in that configuration.
    So.. why not pull ALL the 512s and replace them with, say, 2 2GB chips? If I do that, could I not also upgrade to 800MHz chips? Is there any reason that 800 MHz chips would be incompatible with my MacPro?
    I'm a bit skittish about hardware upgrades, so if anybody's got any suggestions for a resource that can guide me through the process, that would be helpful, too. I'm always afraid I'm gonna bust a pin somewhere and destroy the computer.
    Thanks,
    --PS

    4gb of ram isn't really that much. you can add four 512 but you may want more ram at a later time. if you are sure you won't, then go for it. RAM is best adding in groups of 4, but has to be in sets of 2. I would add four 1gb of ram. There are diagrams you can search out to show how to most effectively and properly install it. That would give you 6 gb and that's a pretty decent number for most people. You could add two 2gb. It's not the most efficient method and would not sqeeze every bit of speed from the ram but it would leave two slots open for further upgrading if you so wished. If you aren't a Photoshop person or Final Cut Pro or other heavy user, and just use one application at a time, 4gb is probably adequate. RAM is inexpensive enough for most people with a macpro that going for four x 1gb and moving to 6 is my recommendation. If you do use two x2gb there is no need to remove the 512s other than to possibly move them. dunno about the 800MHz chips. I think you can use them but don't need them and won't make use of the added speed. I'd use all of the same type of RAM just to be cautious.

  • Upgrade from PSE8 to Photoshop or CS4: question

    I'm confused about something. I have PSE8 for Mac. I would like to get Photoshop. Does this mean I have to get CS4? Is there a standalone Photoshop without all the other Creative Suite things?
    Also I can't pay $700. Anyone know of any deals, or bundling with a Wacom tablet? (I'm not affiliated with any educational institution).
    Thank you -

    Photoshop CS4 is available as a "stand alone" application. But like was said, you won't find any real good deals like you mentioned, that are legal (as in not pirated).
    Actually, it may be possible to find a 'good deal'--not through a normal commercial vendor and I would certainly stay away from eBay/Craig's List/etc. for a purchase of Photoshop CS4.  It is just too easy to get a pirated copy.
    I don't know how often it happens but I myself was in the position of having a legal copy of Photoshop CS4 that I no longer needed.  I had PSCS4 on my iMac for quite some time and also had CS4 Design Premium on my PC.  I finally bit the bullet and moved 100% to the Mac so I transferred the CS4DP package to the Mac platform via Adobe which meant I no longer had a need for the stand alone Mac version of Photoshop CS4.
    If you have any computer/photography clubs in your area you might check there.  It is possible you may find someone who is no longer using their licensed copy of CS4 who would be willing to go through the Adobe License Transfer process which would enable you to have their copy officially placed in your name.

  • Upgrading from 3.1 to 4.0 question

    Hello,
    I have a client that is 3 hours away. They are currently using APEX 3.1 and I was thinking about seeing if I can upgrade them to APEX 4.0.
    Is it possible to upgrade them remotely?
    Their Oracle version is 10.2.0.2 and the docs say that 10.2.0.3 or higher is needed. So to confirm, they would need to upgrade Oracle to at least 10.2.0.3? Has anyone installed APEX 4.0 on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and were there any issues?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Joe,
    It probably would fail, in looking at the version of the Database. Why play things normal, and have the client follow the documented procedure for updating to APEX 4.0. It will make their lives easier and also yours too..
    Thank you,

  • Upgrading From FCP 3....Questions

    Is FCP 3 upgradable to the newest version of FC Studio? Does FCP 3 need to be installed on the computer in order for the upgrade to happen? Can FCP 3 be installed on an Intel Mac?

    At times, people Apple selects to tests the application before it's released with receive a NFR package/license as a result.
    Not For Resale.
    Other times, reviews as well, or similarly situated individuals may receive NFR licenses.
    Can't upgrade them

  • Want to upgrade from Env Touch to Droid, Have questions

    So currently I have the family share 700 minute plan with two Env Touches and the 9.99 data plan.  After figuring out too late that theEnv Touch sucks for web usage I want to upgrade my phone to something that works better.  I do however want to keep my existing $9.99 plan.  So if I buy my friends Droid 2 and activate in online can I keep my same data plan of $9.99?  
    Data is Data right?
    Thanks

    Data is Data right? Well, the data is the same - the way your phone handles it and the amount of data you will use is where the difference lies.  As you yourself said, the browsing experience on the EnvTouch is less than adequate - that's what you get for $10 a month.  A Droid will have a much better browser, will use substantially more data in providing you with the experience you want, and will cost more.
    The $10 data plan you are on now (the old Connect plan it sounds like) was only available for the feature phones, never for smartphones or Blackberries, and that is still the case.  The Droid is a smartphone, and requires the $29.99 unlimited data plan.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade from CS to CS3 InDesign

    Good morning, I have installed the CS3 trial version on my computer at work (I have this version on my home computer & really like it) - I am wanting to upgrade from CS to CS3 at work; question is can I upgrade to CS3 from CS or do I need to have CS2 first?
    Thank You for the help.

    Yes, you can can upgrade from CS to CS3. Make sure you order the right upgrade package as there are quite a few variations.

  • Interview questions on upgrades from 4.7 to ECC

    Hi,
    Can any one please post some potential areas/questions that will be asked for upgrade projects from 4.7 to ECC6.0
    Points will be awarded.
    Thanks

    Hi Frank,
      this is good question,  why because sap upgrades from 4.6b to ecc 6.0 is very risky.
      take one example , in 4.5b , me21n application having 620 screen where as in ecc 6.0 having 9000 screen . that time we will take care of it.
       check the obsolete function modules ,  4.5b , having ws_upload, ws_download.... use cl_gui_frontend_services , under these having differnt type of methods.
      once you change the code in ecc , go to tranx : SLIN check the error where it is exact.

  • I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

    I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
    Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
    Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
    So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
    Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
    By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
    Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
    Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
    You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
    In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.

    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
    See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
    1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
    So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
    So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
    When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.
    Learn here how to go about fixing your own machine and creating backups/bootable clones this way your not having to drive several hundred miles for a software or boot drive repair. Simply reverse clone your troubles away.

    I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
    Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
    The new Mac's  have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
    I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
    Web browsing for hard of seeing users
    Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
    But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
    https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
    Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
    Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
    Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

    Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
    Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

  • Purch. & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..

    Hi ~
    _Purchased & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..._
    First I made sure I backed up my 5,500 photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive. (The only downfall to this backing-up process is that I haven't found an easy way to back-up the comments attached to each photo. Any advice on this? Part of the "horror" to losing one's photos is also losing the comments added to them over the years.)
    Back to the install... I installed iLife 08 and it installed correctly. I checked to see what version of the applications I have in the dock on my desktop - I figured it would just import existing data (photos, tunes, etc.) into the newer version and replace it in the dock - +it only did this for iDVD+, of course it wasn't that easy for the others.
    I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
    I am most concerned with iPhoto and making sure all the photos AND their comments import correctly into the newer iPhoto 08. I am nervous about this so I want to make sure I do the process correctly.
    I also want to make sure my iTunes information imports correctly to the newer version as well.
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Kathy

    If you backed up the iPhoto Library Folder then you got everything - photos, albums, comments etc
    I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
    The Dock is not important. Look in your Applications Folder for iPhoto 08. That's where it should be. The Dock is just a shortcut to that. What version is in your Apps folder?
    To upgrade a Library from v2 to iPhoto 08 all you do is open the Library with the newer version.
