Introduction

This guide contains instructions to migrate from ThinOS 8.6 and 9.1 to ThinOS 9.1.4234 or later versions using Wyse Management Suite 3.3.1 or later versions.

The overall migration process includes the following tasks:

1. Review the before upgrade instructions-see Prerequisites before you migrate from ThinOS 8.6 or upgrade to ThinOS 9.x.
2. Register the thin client to the Wyse Management Suite server using any of the following methods:
   • Automate the Wyse Management Suite server and Group Registration Token discovery using the DHCP or DNS records—see Register ThinOS devices by using DHCP option tags and Configuring devices by using DNS SRV record.
   • Manually configure the Wyse Management Suite server and Group Registration Token information using the ThinOS 8.6 user interface—see Register ThinOS devices using Wyse Device Agent.
3. Optionally, add a ThinOS 8.6-based device to a policy group in Wyse Management Suite to retain the INI file configurations—see Relationship between INI and Wyse Management Suite group based configurations.
4. Download the ThinOS 9.1.4234 or later versions firmware from the www.dell.com/support site—see Download the ThinOS firmware, BIOS, and application packages.
