Introduction

This guide contains instructions to migrate from ThinOS 8.6 to ThinOS 9.1 using Wyse Management Suite 3.1 or later versions.

The overall migration process includes the following tasks:

1. Review the before upgrade instructions-see Before you migrate to ThinOS 8.6.
2. Register the thin client to the Wyse Management Suite server using any of the following methods:
   • Automate the Wyse Management Suite server and Group Registration Token discovery using the DHCP or DNS records—see Register ThinOS devices by using DHCP option tags and Configuring devices by using DNS SRV record.
   • Manually configure the Wyse Management Suite server and Group Registration Token information using the ThinOS 8.6 user interface—see Register ThinOS devices using Wyse Device Agent.
3. Optionally, add a ThinOS 8.6-based device to a policy group in Wyse Management Suite to retain the INI file configurations—see Relationship between INI file based and Wyse Management Suite group based configuration.
4. Download the ThinOS 9.1 firmware from the www.dell.com/support site—see Download the ThinOS firmware.
