Using Fabric Manager for an In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
If you are using Fabric Manager to perform an ISSU to NX-OS Release 4.2(3) from any release prior to
NX-OS Release 4.1(1a), the upgrade might fail. To work around this issue, perform the upgrade from
the command-line interface using the install all command. DDTS CSCta94252, which is a duplicate of
