Manual Upgrade Procedure
The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of
certain third-party networking operating systems.
If you have installed Dell EMC Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC
Networking OS 9.14(2.9) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the upgrade system command, due to file system
partition compatibility issues. If you try to downgrade, the system displays the following error message:
DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44
Source file name []: FTOS-S6100-ON-9.10.0.1P8.bin
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
% Error: Detected System Image is incompatible with flash partition scheme.

% Error: Upgrade system image failed.
