● Single rack SFS upgrade from Release 10.5.0.7P3 to 10.5.2.6 or later without breakout configuration on uplink
connections
For VxRail single rack deployment with two leaf switches, if there is no breakout configuration on the uplink connections,
follow the normal upgrade procedure using the OMNI user interface.
● Dell EMC Networking SFS deployment with VxRail four-node cluster
In a VxRail four-node cluster deployment, if you have deployed S4100-ON switches, see the Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4100-
ON Series ONIE Firmware Updater Release Notes for the latest recommended ONIE and ONIE firmware versions. We
recommend that you upgrade ONIE and ONIE firmware to the latest recommended versions before you upgrade OS10.
● See the Networking Solutions Support Matrix for more information.

For a list of supported upgrade paths for OS10 in PowerEdge MX Deployments, see the latest Dell EMC OpenManage
Enterprise-Modular Edition for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis User's Guide.
Platform-specific prerequisites
Before you upgrade, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
All platforms
● Ensure that you back up the configuration data and license files in an external storage.
● If you have VLT enabled, ensure that you make note of the X.509v3 security profile name to reinstall the X.509v3 certificate
after upgrade. Use the show crypto cert command to view the security profile name.
S4100-ON platform
● If you are upgrading OS10 from Release 10.5.0.x or earlier to Release 10.5.1.9 or later on an S4100-ON series platform, you
must ensure that the realpath variable in OS10-Boot is set to /dev/sda4. To check the realpath variable, enter the
system "realpath /dev/disk/by-label/OS10-BOOT" command from the OS10 CLI:
OS10# system "realpath /dev/disk/by-label/OS10-BOOT"
If the realpath variable is:
○ Set to /dev/sda4, proceed with OS10 upgrade.
○ Not set to /dev/sda4, you must uninstall the existing OS10 version and reinstall the new version of OS10. To do this:
1. Back up the current running configuration (Release 10.5.0.x or earlier) to an external storage.
OS10# copy running-configuration scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath/
runningconfiguration.txt
2. Reload the switch and watch for the ONIE boot menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to scroll and select ONIE: Uninstall OS option.
4. After you reload the switch again, from the ONIE boot menu, select the ONIE: Install OS option and install
Release 10.5.1.9 or later release. See Installing SmartFabric OS10 section for more information.
