Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.2

Download OS10 image

If you purchase the OS10 Enterprise Edition image with an after point-of-sale order, your OS10 purchase allows you to download software images posted within the first 90 days of ownership. After the order is complete, you receive an email notification with a software entitlement ID, order number, and link to the DDL.

To extend the software-entitled download period, you must have a Dell EMC ProSupport or ProSupport Plus contract on your hardware. Bind the software entitlement to the switch service tag to be the same time as the support contract:

1. Sign into DDL using your account credentials.
2. Locate your entitlement ID and order number that is sent by email, and then select the product name.
3. On the Product page, the Assigned To field on the Product tab is blank. Click Key Available for Download.
4. Enter the device service tag that you purchased the OS10 Enterprise Edition for in the Bind to and Re-enter ID fields. This step binds the software entitlement to the service tag of the switch.
5. Select how to receive the license key: by email or downloaded to your local device.
6. Click Submit to download the License.zip file.
7. Select the Available Downloads tab.
8. Select the OS10 Enterprise Edition release to download, and then click Download.
9. Read the Dell End User License Agreement. Scroll to the end of the agreement, and then click Yes, I agree.
10. Select how to download the software files, and then click Download Now.
11. After you download the OS10 Enterprise Edition image, unpack the .tar file and store the OS10 binary image on a local server. To unpack the .tar file, follow these guidelines:
    • Extract the OS10 binary file from the .tar file. For example, to unpack a .tar file on a Linux server or from the ONIE prompt, enter:

      tar -xf tar_filename

    • Generate a checksum for the downloaded OS10 binary image by running the md5sum command on the image file. Ensure that the generated checksum matches the checksum in the image MD5 file that is extracted from the .tar file.

      md5sum image_filename

12. Follow the procedures in Installation using ONIE and Install OS10 license to install an OS10 Enterprise Edition image and license.

Restrictions on Downgrade from 10.5.1.x or later to 10.5.0.x or earlier version

After rollback to release 10.5.0.x or an earlier release, the following images are available in the switch:

• Image A: 10.5.0.0 (active)
• Image B: N/A

During this state, you must not use the boot system standby command and reload as the switch might get stuck in the GRUB shell.
