Install or upgrade devices running Dell EMC Networking OS10 using NAPALM¶

This information explains how to use NAPALM to install or upgrade the software image on a device running Dell EMC Networking OS10.

Step 1¶

Make sure switches are accessible through NAPALM. Open the Python interpreter terminal using “python” match the example:

>>> from napalm_base import get_network_driver
>>> d = get_network_driver('dellos10')
>>> e = d('<HOSTNAME/IP_ADDRESS>', '<USERNAME>', '<PASSWORD>', optional_args={'global_delay_factor': 3})
>>> e.open()
>>> e.get_facts()
>>> e.close()

Step 2¶

Upload the image to install to any TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP/HTTP server.

Step 3¶

Install or upgrade the image on the switch. Example image file path is /root/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.4.0E.R2.30-installer-x86_64.bin.

SCP server details are below, Server IP: 1.1.1.1 credentials: username: my_username, password: my_password image file path: /root/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.4.0E.R2.30-installer-x86_64.bin

Example image_file_url:

image_file_url="scp://my_username:my_password@1.1.1.1/root/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.4.0E.R2.30-installer-x86_64.bin"

To install the switch image, create a file called image_upgrade.py in a folder:

from napalm_base import get_network_driver

# Add your global switch credentials
device_creds = {
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "admin",
    "optional_args": {
            "global_delay_factor": 3
    }
}

image_file_url="scp://my_username:my_password@1.1.1.1/root/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.4.0E.R2.30-installer-x86_64.bin"

driver = get_network_driver('dellos10')


device = driver("1.1.1.1", **device_creds)
device.open()
print("Switch image install started...")
device.install_switch_image(image_file_url=image_file_url)
# get the switch status using below
device.get_image_status()

device.close()
