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()
Note
