Upgrading from OS 9.10(0.0)
To upgrade a dual homing setup with Dell Networking OS 9.10(0.0) to later versions, perform the following steps:
In the following example, C9010–1 is the primary system and C9010–2 is secondary. The VLT peers and the PEs in the setup are upgraded
from Dell Networking OS 9.10(0.1) to 9.11(0.0). After the upgrade is completed, the VLT peers exchange the roles. C9010–2 becomes the
secondary VLT peer and C9010–1 takes up the secondary role.
