The following features are integrated into the Dell Networking 9.14.2 branch through this release: None

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax

• If you are upgrading from an earlier OS9 version to 9.14.2.x, ensure you first upgrade to version 9.13.0.0 before upgrading to the required version of 9.14.2.x to prevent any issues during the upgrade procedure.

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 9.14.2.12 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:

Dell#write memory
Dell#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.version
Dell#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz
Dell#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.

• VLT Upgrade Procedure

Upgrading the S6000 Dell Networking OS Image and Boot Code

The S6000 system is pre-loaded with default Dell Networking OS software.
NOTE: If you downgrade from Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.12) to version 9.6(0.0) or any version prior to 9.6(0.0), any existing quad mode configuration on the following ports is removed: 4, 12, 20, 28, 100, 108, 116, and 124

NOTE: If you downgrade from Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.12) to 9.0(2.0), remove any existing quad mode configuration from the following 40G ports: 4, 12, 20, 28, 100, 108, 116, and 124. To remove any quad mode configuration, use the no stack-unit port portmode quad command in CONFIGURATION mode and then save the configuration using the write memory command in EXEC PRIVILEGE mode.
NOTE: Before upgrading the OS to version 9.14(2.12), uninstall the older version of the Open Automation package. Upgrade the OS to 9.14(2.12) and then install the latest OA package. If you downgrade the OS from version 9.14(2.12) to an earlier version, uninstall the older OA package first. Downgrade the OS to an earlier version and then install the relevant OA package version.

VLT Upgrade Procedure

Follow this procedure to upgrade the system from release 9.4(2.8) to the latest version in a VLT setup:

1. Upgrade the system-flash partition A or B with the new image on both VLT peers.On both the VLT peers, set Primary boot parameter to boot the system from upgraded system flash partition [A or B].You can enter one of the following options:flash — Copies from flash file system (flash://filepath).ftp — Copies from remote file system (ftp://userid:password@hostip// filepath).scp — Copies from remote file system (scp://userid:password@hostip//filepath).tftp — Copies from remote file system (tftp://hostip/filepath).
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   upgrade system [flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp: | usbflash:] [A: | B:]

2. Reload or power-cycle one of the VLT peers (For Example, Peer 2).
   EXEC Privilege Mode reload or power cycle

3.  Wait for Peer 2 to come up; VLT adjacency will be established. (Peer 2 – new image and Peer 1 – old image).

4. Wait for the Peer 2 to bring up all VLT LAG ports. Use the command show vlt detail to confirm all VLT ports in the local chassis are active.
   EXEC Privilege Mode show vlt detail

5. Following upgrade, use the write memory command to save the running-config to memory.
   EXEC Privilege Mode write memory

6. Ensure both the nodes are now forwarding traffic.

7. When all VLT ports are active on the Peer 2, repeat steps 2 through 5 for the Peer 1.

Documentation Corrections
