4. (Optional) View the current software download status in EXEC mode.
OS10# show image status
5. Cancel any staged firmware update using the image cancel command.
OS10# image cancel
6. Install the OS10 standby image using the image install file-url command in EXEC mode, where filename is the
name of the image file downloaded in Step 3 with the image download command; for example:
OS10# image install image://OS10EE.bin
NOTE: OS10 has two images: A and B. One image is active, which is the current running version and used as the running
software at the next system reload. The other image remains standby, used for software upgrades.
The image install command installs the downloaded image to the system. If you had modified text files or installed
custom packages, they would not be available with the standby image. Back up the modified files and reinstall the packages
after downloading the standby image.
NOTE: On an MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine and MX5108n Ethernet Switch, if you install an OS10 image using a
DUP file, all firmware components are upgraded. The firmware upgrade is stored as a pending installation until you reload
the switch. To view the contents of the firmware upgrade, use the show image firmware command.
7. (Optional) View the status of the software installation in EXEC mode.
OS10# show image status
8. (Optional) Verify the standby image version in EXEC mode; for example:

==========================================

Active Partition: A
Active SW Version: 10.5.0.4
Active SW Build Version: 10.5.0.4.650
Active Kernel Version: Linux 4.9.189
Active Build Date/Time: 2020-02-11T11:13:08Z

Standby SW Build Version: 10.5.1.0.123

Next-Boot: standby[B]
NOTE:
After the 10.5.1.0 image is installed successfully, using the boot system {active | standby} command
does not have any effect and might not be reflected in the show boot detail command. The system boots up only
with the 10.5.1.0 image in the next reload. This process is not reversible. Dell EMC recommends that you do not install
10.5.0.0 or an earlier image in this step.
9. Reload the new software image in EXEC mode.
OS10# reload
NOTE:
During reload, the system enters and exits the ONIE environment automatically and boots using the 10.5.1.0
image. This reload takes a longer time than usual. You must not interrupt this reload process.
