Why does the Cisco Catalyst Upgrade Path Verification not hesitate if you try to distribute a Supervisor Engine image from 3.1 to new Supervisor Engine images?
A. The Catalyst Upgrade Path Verification feature uses the knowledge base ($ENV{NMSROOT}/objects/swim/data/UpgradeKbCat.dat) to perform validation. A copy of this knowledge base is on Cisco.com also. If new Catalyst images require an Upgrade Path validation, an update occurs in the knowledge base on Cisco.com. During Catalyst image distribution, the verification process warns you if the process cannot validate data for the new images from the local Knowledge Base. If you see the warning, choose Resource Manager Essentials > Administrator > Software Management > Update Upgrade Path to synchronize the local knowledge base with the new information in the Cisco.com knowledge base.
