You must not make any configuration changes when the VLT peer nodes are running different versions of the software.
Detailed Upgrade Steps
1. Download the new software image on both the VLT peer nodes from the Dell Support Site. Extract the bin files from the
tar file, and save the file in EXEC mode. Download the extracted bin file to the OS10 switch using the image download
command.
image download file-url
For example:
VLT-Peer1# image download ftp://userid:passwd@hostip:/filepath
VLT-Peer2# image download ftp://userid:passwd@hostip:/filepath
NOTE: Some Windows unzip applications insert extra carriage returns (CR) or line feeds (LF) when they extract the
contents of a .tar file, which may corrupt the downloaded OS10 binary image. Turn off this option if you use a
Windows-based tool to untar an OS10 binary file.
2. (Optional) View the current software download status in EXEC mode.
