- Upgrading networking switch using different OS10 DUP versions
- Upgrading networking switch using CLI
● ONIE firmware update option is available only if the OS10 version is 10.5.2.3 or later.
● 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.
NOTE: ONIE component firmware is not updated due to the issue of system not booting into ONIE, when GRUB menu is
displayed with serial control character. This issue is addressed in 3.35.1.1-15 ONIE firmware version. If ONIE update fails or
encounters ONIE booting issue, retry the ONIE component firmware update.
Workaround steps for IOM upgrade failure
● When IOMs are upgraded from 10.5.0.7 to 10.5.2.4, Jobs page on OME-Modular displays the job as failure, but software
upgrade is successful.
● When you see job failure, run the show smartfabric nodes command on the IOM CLI and check if the failed IOM is in
OFFLINE state.
● If the OFFLINE IOM is in: 10.5.2.4
○ Full switch mode—No immediate action required, it recovers automatically when Fabric manager is upgraded to the
latest version.
○ Fabric mode—Restarts the IOM which is OFFLNE.
● If one of the nodes of the fabric is not upgraded due to the above failure, start upgrade job once again.
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.
