when the number of SLEDs does not exceed 43.
Also, OME 3.4 does not support firmware upgrade on IOMs.
Note:
Maximum 9 member MX7000 chassis can be updated in a single firmware update task. It is mandatory to
update the member chassis first. This is applicable only if you are upgrading from 1.10.20 or lower.
Once all the member chassis are updated, the lead chassis can be updated.
