*—Upgrading IOM VLT peers from 10.4.X to 10.5.X version impacts traffic. Regular maintenance window is recommended for

this activity.

**—Upgrading IOMs in SmartFabric mode to OS10.5.1.6 with VLAN 1 as tagged, disrupts traffic. SmartFabric mode

deployments without VLAN 1 being tagged, or deployments in Full Switch mode, are not affected. If VLAN 1 is tagged, wait for a

patch to upgrade the IOM.

Upgrading ethernet switch using DUP

NOTE: Upgrade the MX9116n and MX5108n switches only after updating the other MX7000 components to their

corresponding PowerEdge MX 1.20.10 baseline versions.

NOTE: The DUP update procedure is recommended for upgrading OS10 on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches.

NOTE: Upgrade the MX9116n and MX5108n switches to 10.5.1.6 only if switches are running 10.5.0.7 or later.

To upgrade OS10 using DUP, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest DUP file for the switch from https://www.dell.com/support.

2. On the OME-Modular web interface, go to Devices > I/O Modules.

3. Select the IOM module on which you must carry out the OS10 upgrade.

4. Click Update Firmware.

5. Select the Individual package option, then click Browse and go to the location where the DUP was downloaded earlier. Wait

for the compliance report, once done, the supported components are displayed.

6. Select the required components and click Update, to start the update.

For upgrading from different versions earlier than 10.5.0.7, see Upgrading networking switch using different DUP versions

section.

7. Go to Monitoring > Jobs page, to view the job status.

Prerequisites for upgrading from 10.5.0.7

● When updating, ensure to update the IOMs in groups no larger than six per upgrade job.

● If there are two switches in a full-switch mode VLT, each switch should be part of different upgrade batch for redundancy.

● If there are two switches in a SmartFabric, select only one switch. The other switch is automatically updated. This is counted

as "2" in that upgrade group.
