Mixed Mode Upgrade Support
Starting with Cisco Nexus 1000V, Release 5.2(1)SV3(1.15), Cisco Nexus 1000V deployment supports configuration where the VSM version can be same or higher than the VEM version. With the mixed mode upgrade functionality, you can now upgrade the VSM without upgrading the VEM and reduce the overall overheads involved in Cisco Nexus 1000V upgrade. For example, you can upgrade only the VSM to release 5.2(1)SV3(1.15) from a previous release and skip the VEM upgrade. The following table lists the releases that support mixed mode upgrade.
