1. Select the .bin image and click Upgrade Fabric.
NOTE: Upgrade Fabric option upgrades all the switches in a network fabric. You cannot stop the upgrade after it is
triggered.
2. Click Upgrade to confirm. Dell Technologies recommends you to take the backup configuration using Backup and Restore
before initiating the upgrade.
The system displays fabric upgrade success message.
After you initiate the fabric upgrade, you can see the progress of the upgrade from this menu. As part of upgrade, each switch
in the fabric is installed with the new version of OS10 and the switch reboots to complete the upgrade process. OMNI checks
each switch in the fabric, one at a time to ensure maximum uptime during the upgrade process.
