You can definitely do this. At least it works for me on old hardware.

Download the AOS tar.gz and put it on a CVM in a directory you create within /home/nutanix. For example, create /home/nutanix/upgrd, put it in there with WinSCP, or scp. Then SSH to the CVM and do:

$ cd /home/nutanix/upgrd

$ tar xvf nutanix_installer_package-release…..tar.gz

$ /home/nutanix/upgrd/install/bin/cluster --ignore_preupgrade_tests -i /home/nutanix/upgrd/install upgrade

 

Edit: this might not be right. let me check and get back to you. I have to find the exact command.

Got it (in your first post you where typing NX-1065). 

The NX-1050 is EOL and new versions will not be tested against EOL hardware, so the NX-1050 is removed from the HCL. 

But that doesn't mean it cannot work. You can try to install/foundation the cluster with the version you want, probably it will work, though. ;) But there is no support off course and if it doenst work you must refoundation to the latest working version to have a dev/test cluster. 

However again, it is dev/test so try ;)

Apologize for mistake in my first post. Currently the cluster is running with AOS 5.15.7 I will try upgrade to AOS 5.20.x. Thank you for your advise.

According to this post, it should work: NX-1050 Compatibility matrix

EOL hardware is not qualified for new software, it could support critical security updates.
