Software Requirements

The following table lists the Dell S3100 Series software requirements:

Table 3. System Software Requirements Software Dell Networking OS

Minimum Release Requirement 9.14(2.20)

New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.20) 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: a. SmartScripts b. Puppet c. Open management infrastructure (OMI) d. 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, refer the respective Dell System Release Notes.
If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS version from 9.14.2.20 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): PIM ECMP Static IGMP join (ip igmp static-group) IGMP querier timeout configuration (ip igmp querier-timeout) IGMP group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit) Half-Duplex mode is not supported. 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
From 9.14(2.4P1) onwards, a new nand chip ships on the S3100 series switch. This chip supports the new UBoot version 5.2.1.10.

Upgrade Instructions
The following upgrades are available for the Dell Networking operating system (OS) on S3100 series switches: 1. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS image on S3100 series switches. 2. Upgrade the UBoot from Dell Networking OS. 3. Upgrade the CPLD image. 4. Upgrade the PoE controller.
Upgrading the Operating Software Image
Upgrade the OS image on S3100 series switches by following the procedure in this section. NOTE: The configurations shown here are examples only and are not intended to duplicate any real system or network.
NOTE: If you installed the Open Automation (OA) package on the S3100 series switch, Dell Networking strongly recommends uninstalling the OA package before you upgrade the Dell Networking OS image. Then reinstall a compatible OA package. In this way, the system installs enhancements and uninstalls incompatible OA packages after the Dell Networking OS upgrade.
NOTE: Dell Networking strongly recommends using the Management Interface to upgrade the new image in both BMP mode and the Upgrade System CLI. Using front-end ports takes more time (approximately 25 minutes) to download and install new image due to the large file size.
NOTE: If you are using bare metal provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning chapter in the Open Automation Guide.
1. Save the running configuration on the switch. EXEC Privilege mode write memory
2. Back up your startup configuration to a secure location (for example, an FTP server as shown here). EXEC Privilege mode copy startup-config destination
DellEMC# copy running-config ftp: Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.10 Destination file name [startup-config]: startup-config User name to login remote host: host Password to login remote host: xxxx ! 5179 bytes successfully copied DellEMC#
3. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS on a S3100 series switch. EXEC Privilege mode

upgrade system {flash: | ftp: | nfsmount: | scp: | stack-unit: | tftp:| usbflash:} fileurl [A: | B:] Where {flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp:| usbflash:} file-url specifies the file transfer method and location of the software image file used to upgrade the S3100 series, and is in one of the following formats:
flash://directory-path/filename — Copy from flash file system. ftp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system. nfsmount://mount-point/filepath — Copy from NFS mount file system. scp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system. stack-unit: — Synchronize image to the specified stack unit. tftp://host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system. usbflash://directory-path/filename — Copy from USB flash file system.
NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using FTP to copy the new image with the upgrade system command due to
the large file size.

DellEMC#upgrade system ftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 192.168.1.1 Source file name []: FTOS-S3100-9.14.2.20.bin User name to login remote host: ftpuser Password to login remote host: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………….. ……………………! 50155103 bytes successfully copied System image upgrade completed successfully.
4. In case of a stack setup, upgrade the Dell Networking OS for the stacked units.
EXEC Privilege mode
upgrade system stack-unit [112 | all] [A: | B:] If A: is specified in the command, the Dell Networking OS version present in Management unit’s A: partition will be pushed to the stack units. If B: is specified in the command, the Management unit’s B: will be pushed to the stack units. Upgrade of stack units can be done on individual units by specifying the unit id [112] or on all units by using all in the command.

DellEMC#upgrade system stack-unit all A: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image upgraded to all DellEMC#
5. Verify the Dell Networking OS has been upgraded correctly in the upgraded flash partition
EXEC Privilege mode
show boot system stack-unit [1-12 | all] The Dell Networking OS versions present in A: and B: can be viewed for individual units by specifying the stack unit id [112] in the command or for all the stack units by specifying all in the command.
