Upgrade Dell MX 7000 chassis

Hello, thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community!

I hope this helps.

Dell OpenManage Enterprise-Modular Edition Version 2.20.xx for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis User's Guide

Respectfully,

Thanks for your reply,

I understand this sequence but we have 2 chassis and need to upgrade compute by compute we enter the compute to maintenance mode and do upgrade and exit from maintenance mode and go to other compute .

what the method to use Catalog-Based Method or Phased Method ?

if use Phased Method start first by lead chassis and upgrade sequence (chassis , I/O modules Mx 5108 n , MX G610s , compute ) finish the lead chassis and go to backup chassis do same sequence ? 

if i used Phased method current version 2.00.00 and target 2.20.10 
we must upgrade first to 2.10.10. and then 2.20.10 ? 

Hi,

I would recommend at first backup chassis configuration from OME-M. this approach which is you need to follow first upgrade to 2.10.10 then proceed to 2.20.10. This is required because jumping directly from 2.00.00 to 2.20.10 is not recommended.  You can create two baselines in OME-M (Baseline 1 → 2.10.10, Baseline 2 → 2.20.10). In your case, Phased Method is recommended since you have multi chasis. 

• Start with Lead chassis:
  • Upgrade CMM firmware to 2.10.10, then 2.20.10.
  • Upgrade I/O modules.
  • Upgrade compute sleds one by one (Maintenance Mode → Update → Exit).
• Repeat same steps for Backup chassis.

Please advice for dell support reply , what is the difference ?
