*—Upgrading IOM VLT peers from 10.4.X to 10.5.X version impacts traffic. Regular maintenance window is recommended for
this activity.
NOTE: Run the X.509v3 certificate upgrade script before upgrading from 10.5.0.1/10.5.0.3P1/10.5.0.5/10.5.0.7 OS10
versions. See PSQN before upgrading from these OS10 versions. The upgrade script is available at https://www.dell.com/
support/kbdoc/000184027/dell-emc-networking-os10-certificate-expiration-and-solution.
NOTE: Upgrading IOMs in SmartFabric mode to OS10.5.1.6 with VLAN 1 as tagged, disrupts traffic. If VLAN 1 is tagged,
upgrade to OS10.5.1.7. See the release notes for complete list of fixes in OS10.5.1.7.
The number of IOMs that can be updated differs based on the IOM versions. The following table displays the number of IOMs
that can be updated at a time.
Table 5. IOM Firmware update matrix
IOM Version OME-M Version No. of IOMs
10.5.0.5 1.10.20 or later 4
10.5.0.7/10.5.0.9 1.20.00 or later 6
10.5.1.X 1.20.10 or later 6
10.5.2.4 or later 1.30.00 and later No restrictions
You must group the IOMs for firmware update depending on the type of IOM. The following table displays an example of
grouping 12 IOMs for firmware update.

Once all IOMs are updated to 10.5.2.4/10.5.2.6 stack, network IOMs display two software components for update. The available
options are:
● Dell EMC Networking SmartFabric OS10
● Dell EMC Networking ONIE Firmware
Limitations for ONIE firmware update are:
● ONIE firmware update option is available only if the OS10 version is 10.5.2.4 or later versions.
● When you select the network IOM that is part of a fabric for ONIE update, other nodes in the fabric are updated
automatically.
● If you insert an old version of IOM, the ONIE firmware cannot be updated before updating OS10 to 10.5.2.4 version.
