Important information

The following is important information you need to know when working with your switch:

Secure boot

For the secure boot feature, the .bin file is replaced with the .tar file. The .tar archive file has both the .bin file and

the .sig file to verify the secure boot .bin file. You do not have to untar the .tar file to access the .bin file.

NOTE: If you specify the .bin file, the .sig file MUST be in the same location as the .bin file.

Firmware downgrade not recommended

After you upgrade the firmware, Dell Technologies does not recommend downgrading to an earlier BIOS version. Downgrading

to an earlier BIOS version causes the AMI label to change. This AMI label change may cause an unwanted change to the NVRAM

variable layout.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to your switch, never downgrade Z9432F-ON switches running BIOS version

3.40.0.9-8 and above to BIOS version 3.40.0.9-7 or below.

ONIE install mode recovery

For information about the ONIE install mode recovery process, see the Dell EMC PowerSwitch Z9432F-ON Release Notes.

BIOS version numbering change

The following describes the BIOS version nomenclature. The version X.Y.Z.U-V:

XThe processor family. For example, 3 for X86 on an Z9432F-ON switch.

YThe platform ID within the processor family. For example, the Z9432F-ON switch is 51.

Z* The image type. For example, BIOS = 0.

UThe bit definitions for the BIOS are from 0 through 5, as shown in the table.

VThe image version.

Table 3. BIOS bit definitions

Bit Feature State

0 Partition 0=MBR, 1=UEFI

1 Baud rate 0=115200, 1=9600

2 N/A N/A

3 PXE 1=supported

4 N/A N/A

5 Bootloader 0=AMI BIOS

*BIOS=0, ONIE=1, Grub=2, DIAG-OS=3, DIAG tools=4, and ONIE FW Updater=5.

CPLD version numbering change

The CPLD version nomenclature has changed. The new version is in the form of major.minor—the major release number

then the minor release number.

Power cycle the switch

CAUTION: After powering off the switch and

before

power cycling on the switch back on, be sure that the PSU

LED indicator is off—no color displays.

ONIE infrastructure support

This release includes ONIE infrastructure support for firmware updates.

IP address assignment in ONIE

By default, DHCP is enabled in ONIE. If your network has DHCP configured, ONIE gets the valid IP address for the management

port using DHCP, as shown.

Info: Using eth0 MAC address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Info: Using eth1 MAC address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Info: eth0: Checking link... up.

Info: Trying DHCPv4 on interface: eth0

ONIE: Using DHCPv4 addr: eth0: xx.xx.xxx.xx / xxx.xxx.xxx.x

You can manually assign an IP address.

1. Wait for ONIE to complete a DHCP timeout and return to the prompt.

2. Wait for ONIE to assign a random default IP address. This address may not be valid for your network.

3. Enter the ifconfig command to assign a valid IP address.

This command is not persistent. After you reboot, you must reconfigure the IP address.

** Rescue Mode Enabled ** ONIE:/ #

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xxx.xxx/xx up

ONIE-based firmware update process

NOTE: Always update the ONIE operating system first. After this update finishes, update the firmware, such as the BIOS,

CPLD, FPGA, and so forth.

NOTE: The output examples are for reference only. Your output may vary.

You can update the firmware by using any of the following methods:

●Firmware update invoked manually from ONIE

●Firmware update using the USB

●Firmware update staging from NOS

●Firmware update staging from ONIE

WARNING: Do not power cycle or power off your switch when you upgrade the CPLD image.

WARNING: The FW-updater program updates the switch as needed.

NOTE: Upgrading the CPLD may take up to 10 minutes.

NOTE: After you have successfully upgraded, the FW-updater program power-cycles the switch.

Firmware update invoked manually from ONIE

Manually invoke the firmware update from the ONIE prompt using the onie-self-update command.

NOTE: This method allows you to update the firmware components, for example BIOS and CPLD, in one step without

requiring a switch reboot. However, this method is not support for platforms supporting the multistage reboot sequence.

There are two ways to use the onie-self-update command. For ease of use, Dell Technologies recommends using Option 1.

OPTION 1:

1. Boot into Rescue mode.

2. Start the firmware update process using the onie-self-update command.

ONIE:/ # onie-self-update tftp://x.x.x.x/onie-firmware-x86_64-VENDOR_MACHINE -r0.tar

OPTION 2:

1. Boot into Rescue mode.

2. Copy the firmware update binary to the target.

Using SCP:

●ONIE:/ # scp <[email protected]> :/tftp/users/<name>/fw-updater.tar<space> .

●ONIE:/ # scp <[email protected]> :/home/<name>/fw-updater.tar<space> .

WGET supports HTTP and FTP options. You can use ONIE: / # wget if supported by the host server or machine. Using

WGET:

●ONIE: / # wget --quiet http://xx.xx.x.xxx/tftpboot/users/<name>/fw-updater.tar

Use TFTP if the host or server supports this option. The .txt file must be present in the TFTP directory; for example, /

tftpboot/users/<name>/fw-updater.tar. Using TFTP:

●ONIE: / # tftp -g -r fw-updater.tar xx.xx.xxx.xxx .

3. Start the firmware update process using the onie-self-update command.

ONIE:/ # onie-self-update onie-firmware-x86_64-VENDOR_MACHINE -r0.tar

Verify firmware update

After you have updated the firmware, verify that all components are running the correct version. To verify the firmware version,

use the ONIE:~ # onie-sysinfo -F command. For example:

ONIE:~ # onie-sysinfo -F

BIOS version:x.xx.x.x-x

CPU_CPLD version:x.x

PORT_01_16_CPLD version:x.x

PORT_17_34_CPLD version:x.x

FPGA version:x.x

MAIN-BMC firmware version:x.xx

Firmware update using USB

You can manually install the OS10 software image using a USB device. Verify that the USB device supports a FAT or EXT2 file

system. For instructions to format a USB device in FAT or EXT2 format, see the Windows documentation accompanying the

USB device.

NOTE: Using the onie-firmware-x86_64-dellemc_platform_c3538-r0.x.xx.x.x-x.tar image only updates

the ONIE firmware components, such as BIOS and CPLD. This image does not update the base ONIE version.

1. Plug the USB storage device into the USB storage port on the switch.

2. Power up the switch to automatically boot using the ONIE: Rescue option.

3. Create a USB mount location on the system.

$ mkdir /mnt/media

4. Identify the path to the USB drive.

$ fdisk -l, blkid

5. Mount the USB media plugged into the USB port on the device.

$ mount -t vfat usb-drive-path /mnt/media

6. Install the software from the USB, where /mt/media specifies the path where the USB partition is mounted.

$ onie-self-update /mnt/media/onie-firmware-x86_64-dellemc_platform_c3538-r0.x.xx.x.x-

x.tar

Verify firmware update

After you have updated the firmware, verify that all components are running the correct version. To verify the firmware version,

use the ONIE:~ # onie-sysinfo -F command. For example:

ONIE:~ # onie-sysinfo -F

BIOS version:x.xx.x.x-x

CPU_CPLD version:x.x

PORT_01_16_CPLD version:x.x

PORT_17_34_CPLD version:x.x

FPGA version:x.x

MAIN-BMC firmware version:x.xx

Firmware update staging from NOS

There are two options for staging the firmware update from the networking operating system (NOS).

NOTE: These steps are for a switch with Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 installed.

For switches running software version 10.5.x.x or later, use Option 1. For switches running software version 10.4.x.x or earlier,

use Option 2.

Option 1

For switches running software version 10.5.x.x or later:

1. Download the OS10 firmware file from a server using the image download <server-filepath/firmware-

filename>command in EXEC mode.

OS10# image download http://xx.xx.x.xxx/tftpboot/users/regr//neteng/<name>/files

/new/onie-firmware-x86_64-dellemc_<platform>_c3538-rx.x.xx.x.x-x.tar

2. Install the OS10 firmware file using the image install <firmware-file-url>l command in EXEC mode, where

firmware-file is the name of the firmware file downloaded in Step 1.

OS10# image install image://onie-firmware-x86_64-dellemc_<platform>_c3538-rx.x.xx.x.x-

x.tar

To view the pending firmware upgrade, use the show image firmware command. To cancel a firmware installation and

remove any pending firmware upgrades, use the image cancel command.

3. Reload the switch in EXEC mode.

OS10# reload

Option 2

For switches running software version 10.4.x.x or earlier:

1. Log in to Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 as the Linux administrator.

Debian GNU/Linux 9 OS10 ttyS0

Dell EMC Networking Operating System (OS10)

OS10 login: admin

Password: admin

2. Configure an IP address for the management port to get the firmware updater over the network.

OS10# configure terminal

OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1

OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp

OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address xx.xx.xxx.xx/xx

OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown

OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit

OS10(config)# management route xx.xx.x.x/xx managementethernet

OS10(config)# exit

OS10#

3. Confirm you can reach the network.

OS10# ping -c4 xx.xx.x.xxx

PING xx.xx.x.xxx (xx.xx.x.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from xx.xx.x.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=2.59 ms

64 bytes from xx.xx.x.xxx: icmp_seq=2 ttl=61 time=2.48 ms

64 bytes from xx.xx.x.xxx: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=2.62 ms

64 bytes from xx.xx.x.xxx: icmp_seq=4 ttl=61 time=2.41 ms

--- xx.xx.x.xxx ping statistics ---

4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.411/2.526/2.621/0.104 ms

OS10#

4. Get the Linux prompt using the system bash command.

OS10# system bash

admin@OS10:/config/home/admin$

5. Change the directory to /home/admin using the cd command.

admin@OS10:/config/home/admin$ cd

admin@OS10:~$

6. Confirm that the ONIE partition is already mounted.

admin@OS10:~$ mount | grep onie

/dev/sda2 on /mnt/onie-boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

admin@OS10:~$

As shown, the ONIE partition is mounted. If it is not mounted, follow these steps:

a. Change to Root mode.

admin@OS10:~$ sudo -i

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for admin: admin

b. Mount the ONIE partition, if not already mounted.

root@OS10:~# mkdir -p /mnt/onie-boot/

root@OS10:~# mount LABEL=ONIE-BOOT /mnt/onie-boot

7. Confirm that the onie-fwpkg command is accessible.

This action also confirms that the ONIE partition is mounted correctly.

root@OS10:~# /mnt/onie-boot/onie/tools/bin/onie-fwpkg

** Pending firmware update information:

No pending firmware updates present.

root@OS10:~#

8. Use the scp command to copy the firmware updater binary from the host to the target.

root@OS10:~# scp <

name

>@xx.xx.x.xx:/home/<

name

>/fw-updater.tar .

Password: admin

fw-updater.tar 100% 18MB 28.0MB/s 00:00

admin@OS10:~$ ls -ltr fw-updater.tar

-rw-r--r-- 1 admin sysadmin 19314551 Mar 16 02:46 fw-updater.tar

root@OS10:~#

9. Use the add option of the onie-fwpkg command to stage the firmware updater from the OS10.

root@OS10:~# /mnt/onie-boot/onie/tools/bin/onie-fwpkg add fw-updater.tar

Staging firmware update: fw-updater.tar

root@OS10:~# /mnt/onie-boot/onie/tools/bin/onie-fwpkg

** Pending firmware update information:
