New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.16) Features

The following features are integrated into the Dell Networking 9.14.2 branch through this release:

None

Restrictions

Prerequisite steps to upgrade the Dell Networking OS from earlier version to 9.14.2.0 or later:

  1. Uninstall the older version of the Open Automation (OA) package
  2. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS to 9.14.2.0 or later version
  3. Install the following OA packages from the respective upgraded version:
    1. SmartScripts
    2. Puppet
    3. Open management infrastructure (OMI)
    4. SNMP MIB

Prerequisite steps to downgrade the Dell Networking OS from 9.14.2.0 or later to the earlier version:

  1. Uninstall the OA package of 9.14.2.0 or later version
  2. Downgrade the Dell Networking OS to an earlier version
  3. Install the respective OA package from an earlier version

For more information about installing, uninstalling and upgrading the Dell Networking OS and OA package, see the respective Dell System Release Notes.

If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS version from 9.14.2.16 to 9.11.0.0 or any older versions, the system displays the following error message even though there is no functional impact:

CDB boot error: C.cdb file format

Before downgrading, save the current configuration and then remove the CDB files (confd_cdb.tar.gz.version and confd_cdb.tar.gz). To remove the files, use the following steps:

DellEMC#write memory
DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.version
DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz
DellEMC#reload

While deploying the system in the normal-reload mode in BMP configuration, use the ip ssh server enable command at the beginning of the startup configuration if the write memory command is used at the end of the configuration.

REST API does not support AAA authentication.

The following features are not available in the Dell Networking OS from version 9.7(0.0):

When FRRP is enabled in a VLT domain, no flavor of Spanning tree should concurrently be enabled on the nodes of that specific VLT domain. In essence FRRP and xSTP should not co-exist in a VLT environment.

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax

The following behavior and CLI changes are applicable to the S3048–ON switch with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.16):

None

Known S3048-ON 9.14(2.16) Software Issues

The following caveats are open in Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.16):

None.

Upgrading the sub-components

Ensure to upgrade the sub-components in the following order and reload the switch, where necessary, before proceeding with the next sub-component upgrade.

  1. Upgrade the BIOS or Boot-selector - using the upgrade boot bootselector-image stack-unit 1 booted command.
  2. Upgrade the GRUB or Bootflash - using the upgrade boot bootflash-image stack-unit 1 booted command.
  3. Upgrade the CPLD - using the upgrade fpga-image system cpld stack-unit 1 booted command.

Upgrade the BIOS or Boot Selector

To upgrade the BIOS or Boot Selector from Dell Networking OS, perform the following steps:

1. Upgrade the S3048-ON Boot Selector image.

EXEC Privilege

Upgrading ONIE on the S3048-ON

To upgrade the ONIE package you have installed, use one of the following two processes: zero touch (dynamic) update or manual update.

  1. Zero touch (dynamic): Copy the update ONIE installer and the DIAG installer for your system to the TFTP/HTTP server. Configure the DHCP options using the ONIE specifications shown at the following link: http://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/updater.html
  2. Manual: Copy the image onto the TFTP/HTTP servers and boot ONIE. Update the ONIE using the onie-self-update command, then download and run an ONIE updater image. The supported URL types are: HTTP, FTP, TFTP, and FILE.

S3048-ON image>>>> onie-updater-x86_64-s3000_c2338-r0

3. UPGRADING ONIE ON AN EXISTING S3048-ON SYSTEM.

The following example uses HTTP to upgrade ONIE.

Installing Dell Networking OS on the S3048-ON using ONIE

ℹ️ NOTE: The Dell Networking OS installer package, ONIE-FTOS-SG-ON-9.14.2.16.bin, is required for installing Dell Networking OS on S3048-ON that has only ONIE.

To install the Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.16) on to the new S3048-ON device, perform the following steps:

1. Boot the system to the ONIE prompt.

The following ONIE prompt appears:

ONIE:/ #

2. Stop the ONIE discovery process using the following command:

ONIE:/ # onie-discovery-stop

The following message appears:

Stopping: discover... done.
ONIE:/ #

3. Configure an interface and assign an IP address to that interface using the following command:

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 ip-address/prefix up

4. Enter the following command to begin the installation process:

ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install tftp://10.16.127.35/ONIE-FTOS-SG-ON-9.14.2.16.bin

ℹ️ NOTE: After the Dell Networking OS installation is complete, the system automatically reboots.

Following is the installation and boot log of Dell Networking OS:

Bare Metal Provisioning

ℹ️ NOTE: If you are using Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning topic in the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide or the Open Automation Guide.

Manual Upgrade Procedure

Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your S3048-ON systems:

  1. Dell Networking recommends that you back up your startup configuration and any important files and directories to an external media prior to upgrading the system.
  2. ℹ️ NOTE: If you are upgrading from Dell Networking OS version 9.10.0.1P5 or earlier, you cannot directly upgrade to version 9.10.0.1P13 or above. Upgrade to version 9.10.0.1P8 first and then upgrade to the required version.

2. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS in flash partition A: or B:
