The 7.0.3.I7.4 train is crippled in terms of ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure). It runs standalone NX-OS mode, meaning it behaves like a classic Nexus switch (VLANs, VXLAN, OSPF, BGP, PIM) but does not act as an ACI leaf or spine. For ACI simulation, you would need the Cloud APIC or different images.

Upgrading from 7.x to 9.x is a non-disruptive upgrade (NDU) only if you use ISSU. Most virtual labs should simply deploy a new .qcow2 of the newer version to avoid configuration corruption. Copy the new
