Dell SmartFabric OS10 Installation, Upgrade, and Downgrade Guide

PDF

Upgrade OS10 manually from the CLI

To upgrade an OS10 image, first download and unpack the new OS10 binary image as described in Download OS10 image for upgrade. Then copy the binary image file to a local server and follow the steps in Perform OS10 upgrade.

NOTE:To upgrade a Dell ONIE switch to OS10 from OS9 or another network operating system (NOS), follow the procedure in Upgrade from OS9 to OS10 using the ONIE-Install OS.

Starting from Release 10.5.5.0P1, the system checks for firmware updater version compatibility between the existing image and the new image and ensures that upgrades do not fail because of firmware updater issues. If the firmware updater version in the existing image is:

  • Higher than or equal to the firmware updater version in the new image, the system proceeds with upgrade.
  • Lower than the firmware updater version in the new image, the system displays the following message on the console and does not initiate upgrade:
    Device Firmware version(3.42.5.1-15) is lesser than the minimum expected DUP firmware version(3.42.5.1-17). So Please upgrade firmware version first.

If the DUP image does not include the firmware updater, the system proceeds with upgrading the OS10 software.
