You cannot automatically update a switch running ExtremeXOS 30.2 or earlier
to ExtremeXOS 30.3 or later due to a file system compatibility issue. If a
switch has ExtremeXOS 30.2 or earlier, prior to inserting the switch into the stack
topology, you need to upgrade the switch manually:
-
To download and install a new
image, the active partitions (primary or secondary) of all non-master nodes must
match the active partition of the master node.
-
To determine the active
partition selected on all nodes and the ExtremeXOS
versions installed in each partition, use the show slot {slot {detail} | detail } command with the detail option. If the node being
upgraded is running on the primary partition, then the new image is
downloaded and installed on the secondary partition.
-
If the active partition
is different on some nodes, the action you take depends on what is
stored in both partitions:
If both primary and
secondary partitions have the same ExtremeXOS
release, you can use the following commands to cause a node to use the
same active image as the rest of the stack:
use image {primary | secondary} slot slot-number
reboot slot slot-number
-
Download a new ExtremeXOS software release and install it on all nodes on the active
topology using the command: download [url
url {vr
vrname} | image [active | inactive] [[hostname | ipaddress] filename {{vr} vrname} {block-size
block_size}] {partition} {install {reboot}}
-
Restart all nodes in the new
release using reboot {[time
mon
day
year
hour
min
sec] | cancel} {slot
slot-number}
{all}
