Instructions

Upgrading the Dell PowerSwitch switches

PowerFlex Manager supports multiple Dell PowerSwitch models with specific firmware and software components.

You must upgrade the switches in the following order:

  • Management switches
  • Access switches
  • Aggregation switches
The following workflow is applicable while upgrading the Dell PowerSwitch switches on a new PowerFlex Manager:
  1. Upgrade the Dell PowerSwitch switches
  2. Upgrade the OS software version
  3. Upgrade the BIOS version
  4. Upgrade the BMC version
  5. Upgrade the FPGA version
  6. Upgrade the ONIE version

 

Upgrade the Dell PowerSwitch switches using PowerFlex Manager

Use this procedure to upgrade the Dell PowerSwitch switches in PowerFlex Manager.

About this task

The default compliance IC is always used for shared resources, such as switches.
NOTE:If partial network automation is in use, see Dell PowerFlex Appliance with PowerFlex 4.x Administration Guide for information on manual switch upgrades.
NOTE:For PowerFlex versions prior to 4.5, manually update the firmware components for all Dell switches other than the software components.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have taken a backup of the switch configurations. See Backing up the environment for more information.

Steps

  1. Log in to PowerFlex Manager.
  2. Update the switches, one at a time. Go to the Resources page, select a switch, on the right-side, click Non-Compliant with Default Catalog.
  3. Click Update Resources.
  4. Click Apply Updates > Yes.
    NOTE:Be sure to update the switches one at a time. Do not select multiple switches and update them all simultaneously. The minimum required Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) version is 3.40.1.1-6. Before using ONIE firmware updater, if your switch has an ONIE version lower than 3.40.1.1-6, you must first upgrade your switch to this minimum requirement.
    NOTE:The default virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is supported only when it has a routed network to the PowerFlex Manager interface. Most customer deployments using layer-2 cannot use the default VRF.

Upgrade Dell operating system and firmware manually

Dell OS and firmware upgrades are completed by PowerFlex Manager. The manual procedure is for reference only, for more information see: Dell SmartFabric OS10 Installation, Upgrade, and Downgrade Guide. PowerFlex Manager does not support PCIe firmware upgrade on Dell PowerSwitch switches. This upgrade is completed manually.

 

Upgrade the PCIe firmware on the Dell PowerSwitch S5200 series switches

Use this procedure to upgrade the PCIe firmware on the Dell PowerSwitch S5200 series switches.

About this task

NOTE:The filename and versions provided in this procedure are provided as an example. The steps provided are for reference only.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have access to the following:
  • OS10 version is 10.5.x.x. If not, follow the IC to upgrade to OS10 10.5.x.x.
    • Ensure the firmware components are corresponding to the IC.
  • The latest PCIe firmware version. Download the latest PCIe firmware version x.x from the Dell Technologies support site (For example: onie-update-full-x86_64-dellemc_s5200_c3538-r0.3.40.5.1-24.zip).
  • A serial console to access the switch.
  • IP address or USB connectivity from switch to access the PCIe firmware file.

Steps

  1. SSH to the switch management IP address and type: show system.

    Download the PDF file from Dell Networking Firmware Updater v3.40.5.1-26 for S5248F-ON Switch and compare the system to the minimum system requirements.
  2. Validate the ONIE version, type: sudo /mnt/onie-boot/onie/tools/bin/onie-version.
    Example output: 
    ONIE version : 3.40.1.1-9
