Upgrading the Dell Networking OS
To upgrade the Dell Networking operating system on the switch, refer to the Release Notes for the software version you want
to load.
NOTE: If VLT is already configured in a device loaded with Dell Networking OS version 9.9(0.0), you must first remove the
VLT configuration to upgrade to the Dell Networking OS version 9.10(0.0) or later. After removing the VLT configuration,
upgrade each VLT node and its corresponding single-homed PE individually and then reload both nodes as well as PEs. After
the CBs and PEs come up with Dell Networking OS version 9.10(0.0) or later, configure VLT again. When you configure
VLT, the PEs first go down and then come up.
