● If you downgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS version from 9.14(2.9) to 9.11(0.0) or any older versions, the system displays the following error message even though there is no functional impact:

CDB boot error: C.cdb file format

Before downgrading, save the current configuration and then remove the CDB files (confd_cdb.tar.gz.version and confd_cdb.tar.gz). To remove the files, use the following steps:

DellEMC#write memory DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.version DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz DellEMC#reload

● In a VXLAN scenario, hybrid port is not supported.

● While deploying the system in the normal-reload mode in BMP configuration, use the ip ssh server enable command

at the beginning of the startup configuration if the write memory command is used at the end of the configuration.

● File system partition: ○ The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), 9.11(0.2), and later, changes the file system partition scheme

to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.

○ If you have installed Dell EMC Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC

Networking OS 9.14(2.9) to versions earlier than 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), or 9.11(0.2), using the upgrade system command, due to file system partition compatibility issues.

The above restriction is not applicable if you have upgraded Dell EMC Networking OS using the upgrade

NOTE:

system command, instead of the ONIE install option.

● To downgrade Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.9) to versions earlier than 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), or 9.11(0.2), follow these steps:

3

1. From the ONIE menu, use the ONIE uninstall option to uninstall Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9).

2. Use the ONIE install option to install the older version of Dell EMC Networking OS.

● The systems shipped with OS 9.11(2.3) and above might contain one of the following chipsets: ○ BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number 0HW2V or 353W9. ○ BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number GTG6M or 2CMPM.

You can check the part number using the show inventory command.

● In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC Networking OS 9.11(2.3) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.

NOTE: The above restriction is not applicable for systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.

● You cannot use the established keyword in an ACL rule, along with the other control flags.

● While using the established keyword in an ACL rule, all the other TCP control flags are masked, to avoid redundant TCP

control flags configuration in a single rule. When you use any TCP control flag in an ACL rule, established is masked and other control flags are available.

● The following features are not available in Dell EMC Networking OS versions 9.14(2.0): ○ Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) equal cost multi path (ECMP) ○ Static Internet group management protocol (IGMP) join (ip igmp static-group)

○ IGMP querier timeout configuration (ip igmp querier-timeout)

○ IGMP group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit)

● When 1024 or more VNI profiles are configured, the system takes more time to load. Dell EMC recommends to restrict the

VNI profiles to be less than 1000.

● If you use the interface range command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the ipv6 address command does not display the autoconfig option. You can configure the autoconfig command on

individual interfaces.

● If you use the interface range command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the ipv6 nd command displays the following options but they do not take effect if you use them:

○ dns-server ○ hop-limit ○ managed-config-flag ○ max-ra-interval ○ mtu ○ other-config-flag ○ prefix ○ ra-guard ○ ra-lifetime ○ reachable-time ○ retrans-timer ○ suppress-ra

● When FRRP is enabled in a VLT domain, no flavor of Spanning tree should concurrently be enabled on the nodes of that

specific VLT domain. In essence FRRP and xSTP should not co-exist in a VLT environment.

● Do not configure the vxlan-instance command on the port, which is configured with the portmode hybrid command. Do not configure the vxlan-instance enabled port as a member of VLAN, which does not have VXLAN-VNI configuration.

Upgrading the Z9100-ON Dell EMC Networking OS Image using Dell EMC Networking OS CLI

Bare Metal Provisioning

NOTE: If you are using Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning topic in the Dell EMC Networking

OS Configuration Guide or the Open Automation Guide.

Manual Upgrade Procedure

The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), 9.11(0.2), and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.

If you have installed Dell EMC Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9) to versions earlier than 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), or 9.11(0.2), using the upgrade system command, due to file system partition compatibility issues. If you try to downgrade, the system displays the following error message:

DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44 Source file name []: FTOS-Z9100-ON-9.11.0.1.bin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! % Error: Detected System Image is incompatible with flash partition scheme. % Error: Perform ONIE uninstall followed by onie-nos-install to upgrade to this version. % Error: Upgrade system image failed. DellEMC# Dec 15 04:48:33: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %DOWNLOAD-6-UPGRADE: Upgrade failed

To downgrade Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.9) to versions earlier than 9.11(0.0P4), 9.11(0.1P1), or 9.11(0.2), follow these steps:

1. From the ONIE menu, use the ONIE uninstall option to uninstall Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9).

2. Use the ONIE install option to install the older version of Dell EMC Networking OS.

You can upgrade or downgrade to any version, if you have upgraded Dell EMC Networking OS using the upgrade system command, instead of the ONIE install option.

The systems shipped with OS 9.11(2.1) and above might contain one of the following chipsets:

● BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number 0HW2V or 353W9.

● BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number GTG6M or 2CMPM.

You can check the part number using the show inventory command

In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.

In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, if you try to downgrade from OS 9.14(2.9) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2) using BMP or the upgrade command, the system displays the following error message:

DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44 Source file name []: FTOS-Z9100-ON-9.10.0.1.bin 00:12:47 : Discarded 1 pkts. Expected block num : 56. Received block num: 55

% Error: Detected System Image is incompatible with NPU. % Error: Upgrading Release File Corrupted. % Error: Upgrade system image failed.

You can upgrade or downgrade the OS to any version in systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.

Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your Z9100-ON systems:

1. Dell EMC Networking recommends that you back up your startup configuration and any important files and directories to an external media prior to upgrading the system.

2. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS in flash partition A: or B:
