4.3.1 Upgrading MLNX-OS Software
To upgrade MLNX-OS software on your system, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Change to Config mode.
Step 2. Obtain the previously available image (.img file). You must delete this image in the next step to
make room for fetching the new image.
When upgrading from a software version older than 3.2.0100 to software version
3.3.0000 or higher, the upgrade procedure must be done in two steps. First update the
software to 3.2.0300-100 (for InfiniBand platforms) or 3.2.0506 (for Ethernet plat-
forms), then update to the desired software version.
The system being upgraded becomes indisposed throughout the upgrade procedure.
The upgrade procedure burns the software image as well as the firmware should there
be a need.
You have to read and accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA) after image
upgrade in case the EULA is modified. The EULA link is only available upon first
login to CLI.
