Where can I find onie-installer-x86_64-dell_s6100_c2538-r0.bin ?

Hi,

I'm unsure of onie-installer-x86_64-dell_s6100_c2538-r0, you can find onie-updater-x86_64-dell_s6100_c2538-r0.3.25.1 in the zip file of https://dell.to/439fHKr. Would you mind sharing which release note that you mentioned. 

You can refer to the release note of Dell System S6100–ON 9.14(2.21) https://dell.to/4303pUu to install ONIE-FTOS-S6100-ON-9.14.2.21.bin

Those were the release notes I was referring to.

If you refer page 8, you will see Step 7 states:

"Enter the following command to upgrade ONIE:ONIE:/ # onie-self-update tftp://<tftp-server–address>/ onie-updater-x86_64-s6100_c2538-r0."

where is the file "onie-updater-x86_64-s6100_c2538-r0" located? It isn't in the files for the S6100-ON. The only three files listed are the release notes PDF, a "FTOS-S6100-ON-9.14.2.21.bin" and "ONIE-FTOS-S6100-ON-9.14.2.21.bin"

Or, is this step unnecessary?

Where does one locate the latest ONIE and DIAG images? For example, the release notes indicate on page 11 there is an "diag-installer-x86_64-dell_s6100_c2538-r0.3.25.4.1.bin" file, but this file appears nowhere in the downloads for the S6100 that I can find.

I have a Dell PowerSwitch S6010-ON, the sata drive went bad and now I put a blank one in. 

I need to first install onie on it, and then have onie install Dell NetworkOS9

I found the following document, but I'm not sure what exactly I need to get first

Dell Configuration Guide for the S6010–ON System 9.14.2.6

I don't know if I need these or not 

Here are the files I have accumulated

The Dell S6010-ON switch appears to require an EFI boot drive ?

I also have a Dell S4048-ON, I tried to put its SATA drive into the S6010-ON but it failed to boot and went into the EFI shell (as opposed to hanging with the defective sata ssd)

I think I need to 

either flash a bin to the whole drive

of create ONIE partitions, then flash the bin to the ONIE partition

then usb boot something and with that chroot into the installed ONIE system and restore the boot loader

then boot the ONIE partition and then somehow serve the bin file to ONIE so it can install it

ONIE-FTOS-S6010-9.14.2.23.bin

or

ONIE-FTOS-S6010-9.14.1.14.bin

And lastly boot this newly created partition

Here is the partition table from the defective SATA SSD.

A hybrid GPT was detected. You have to sync the hybrid MBR manually (expert command 'M').

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

I don't know what or where the bootloader is supposed start from

Ok I think I have been able to re-create the partition table

It remains to create the Hybrid GPT partition table

Here is how I created the Hybrid GPT partition table

root@proxmox:~# gdisk $DEVICE
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Command (? for help): r

Recovery/transformation command (? for help): ?
b       use backup GPT header (rebuilding main)
c       load backup partition table from disk (rebuilding main)
d       use main GPT header (rebuilding backup)
e       load main partition table from disk (rebuilding backup)
f       load MBR and build fresh GPT from it
g       convert GPT into MBR and exit
h       make hybrid MBR
i       show detailed information on a partition
l       load partition data from a backup file
m       return to main menu
o       print protective MBR data

q       quit without saving changes
t       transform BSD disklabel partition
v       verify disk

Recovery/transformation command (? for help): h

WARNING! Hybrid MBRs are flaky and dangerous! If you decide not to use one,
just hit the Enter key at the below prompt and your MBR partition table will
be untouched.

Type from one to three GPT partition numbers, separated by spaces, to be
added to the hybrid MBR, in sequence: 2 3 7
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): y

Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 30): 06
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): y

Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 83): 83
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n

Creating entry for GPT partition #7 (MBR partition #4)
Enter an MBR hex code (default A9): A9
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n

Recovery/transformation command (? for help): w

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdb.
The operation has completed successfully.

Hi,

The drive is not a replaceable hardware and there isn't a documented instruction on how to prepare the drive for ONIE and firmware installation. But here is a reference on how to install ONIE: https://infohub.delltechnologies.com/static/media/client/7phukh/57ae5efd-8700-40e4-a268-37a88b6763fc.pdf or if you have a spare switch, you can create a livedisk for restore: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-my/000213926/creating-onie-recovery-livedisk
