Deployment Guide

• Connect the Management port to the network if you prefer downloading an image over a network. To locate the Console port and the
Management port, see the Getting Started Guide shipped with your device or the platform-specific Installation Guide at
www.dell.com/support.
Install OS10
During bootup, press ESC to display the ONIE boot menu. An ONIE-enabled device boots with preloaded diagnostics and ONIE software.
+--------------------------------------------------------+
|*ONIE: Install OS |
| ONIE: Rescue |
| ONIE: Uninstall OS |
| ONIE: Update ONIE |
| ONIE: Embed ONIE |
| ONIE: Diag ONIE |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
• Install OS — Boots to the ONIE prompt and installs an OS10 image using the automatic discovery process. When ONIE installs a
new operating system (OS) image, the previously installed image and OS10 configuration are deleted.
• Rescue — Boots to the ONIE prompt and allows for manual installation of an OS10 image or updating ONIE.
• Uninstall OS — Deletes the contents of all disk partitions, including the OS10 configuration, except ONIE and diagnostics.
• Update ONIE — Installs a new ONIE version.
• Embed ONIE — Formats an empty disk and installs ONIE.
• Diag ONIE — Runs system diagnostics.
After the ONIE process installs an OS10 image and you later reboot the switch in ONIE: Install OS mode (default), ONIE takes
ownership of the system and remains in Install mode — ONIE Install mode is sticky — until a OS10 image successfully installs again. To
boot the switch from ONIE for any reason other than installation, select the ONIE: Rescue or ONIE: Update ONIE option from the
ONIE boot menu.
CAUTION:
During an automatic or manual OS10 installation, if an error condition occurs that results in an unsuccessful
installation, perform Uninstall OS first to clear the partitions if there is an existing OS on the device. If the problem
persists, contact Dell EMC Technical Support.
Manual installation
If a DHCP server is not available, you can manually install an OS10 software image. If the IP address for the Management port (eth0) is
not automatically discovered, ONIE sets the IP address to 192.168.3.10. You must manually configure the Management port and
configure the software image file to start installation.
1. Save the OS10 software image on an SCP/TFTP/FTP server.
2. Power up the switch and select ONIE Rescue for manual installation.
3. (Optional) Stop DHCP discovery if the device boots to ONIE Install.
$ onie-discovery-stop
4. Configure the IP addresses on the Management port, where x.x.x.x represents your internal IP address. After you configure the
Management port, the response is up.
$ ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 up
5. Configure the default gateway, where x.x.x.x represents your gateway IP address.
$ route add default gateway x.x.x.x
6. Install the software on the device. The installation command accesses the OS10 software from the specified SCP, TFTP, or FTP URL,
creates partitions, verifies installation, and reboots itself.
$ onie-nos-install image_filename location
For example, enter
ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install ftp://a.b.c.d/PKGS_OS10–Enterprise-x.x.xx.bin
Where a.b.c.d represents the location to download the image file from, and x.x.xx represents the version number of the software to
install.
