Firmware upgrade question regarding regarding x465 switch?

Hello, I download the firmware from Extreme Network and I noticed they are onie-30.3.1.6.xos and onie-30.3.1.6-diagnostics.xmod. Do I need to install both of them? I know when I upgrade firmware for ERS switches. I install both diagnostic file and software image.

If I need to install both, is there a sequence that I need to follow? such as I need to install diagnostics. xmod before installing xos?

 

Thank you in advance.

John

Hi John,

 

I might just as well add the command for downloading an xos or xmod file to the switch. The command is the following one:

 

download image <server ip> one-30.3.1.6.xos vr VR-Default

 

The VR-Default specifies the virtual router in which the server IP address sits - specifying the VR is not required but I usually add it to the command. VRs on XOS can be compared to VRFs on VOSS: the VR-Default is the same as GlobalRouter and VR-Mgmt is the same as MgmtRouter.

However you can also download the image by attaching an USB stick to the switch which usually works even faster than downloading the image through TFTP or SCP.

 

Kind regards

Christian

Hi John,

 

you usually only need the “base” operating system - the file onie-30.3.1.6.xos. The diagnostics.xmod only provides a diagnostic which can/should be run once you suspect the hardware to have an issue or once GTAC tells you to do so. Files ending with .xos represent the operating system (eXtreme OS) whereas files with .xmod represent additional mods.

 

First you need to install the base operating system (.xos) and after that the mods can be installed (.xmod). Keep in mind that the version of your .xmod files always need to match the version of the .xos files.

 

All switches do have two partitions: primary and secondary. You are only able to install the image in the inactive partition.

 

 

Kind regards

Christian
