Additional Information
OneFS now supports Z9100-ON, Z9264-ON, and S5232-ON in a mixed Leaf and or Spine configuration. This configuration requires all switches to be running DNOS 10.5.2.13 prior to introducing the new switch type.
Finally, all DNOS downloads should be from the Dell Support Site using the Service Tag of the switch and a valid support account.
