license get

Use this command to fetch the license for this device from a network path or a USB mount path. This command validates the license against the device identifier.

Note: The system date must be correct to avoid installation failure.

For HTTP, FTP, or TFTP, ensure that the IP address is reachable from the OcNOS device and that the file location is correct.

If you install a license from a USB stick, insert it, and the contents of the USB are available as ///mnt/usb/. For example:

>license get file:///mnt/usb/IPI-CC37ABBE0340.bin

After running the license get command, you can immediately use the switch without rebooting.

To verify, run the show license command after giving this command.

Command Syntax

license get (|(source-interface IFNAME)) WORD

Parameters

IFNAME

The interface used to download the license. If not specified, eth0 is used.

If the management interface of the switch is in the “management” VRF, then this command uses the “management” VRF to get the license from the specified path. You do need not to know if the management port is in the default VRF or the “management” VRF.

WORD

Where to get the license:

ftp://your-server-ip/path/to/file/IPI_deviceId.bin

http://your-server-ip/path/to/file/IPI_deviceId.bin

tftp://your-server-ip/path/to/file/IPI_deviceId.bin

file:///mnt-point/usb/path/to/file/IPI_deviceId.bin

Default

None

Command Mode

Exec mode

Applicability

This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

Examples

>license get http://myServer/IPI-CC37ABBE0340.bin

Specify the source-interface parameter to set the interface to use:

>license get source-interface xe2 http://myServer/IPI-CC37ABBE0340.bin

license refresh

Use this command to install a license present on the device. This command is required only when the license get command reports error when installing the license but successfully downloaded the license.

When this command is given without a file name, the device installs the most recently downloaded license file.

Note: Always ensure that the device date is up to date to avoid license installation failures.

Once this command is successful, you can use the device without rebooting. Verify license installation with the show license command.

Command Syntax

license refresh (FILENAME|)

Parameters

FILENAME

License file name which exists on the device.

Default

None

sys-update delete

Use this command to delete a downloaded image.

Command Syntax

sys-update delete IMAGE_NAME

Parameters

IMAGE_NAME

Installer to delete

Default

None

Command mode

Privileged Exec mode

Applicability

This command was introduced in OcNOS version 1.3.6.

Examples

#sys-update delete DELL_S6000_ON-OcNOS-1.3.6.228a-DC_MPLS-S0-P0-installer

sys-update get

Use this command to download an installer image.

Note: The URL must be compliant with RFC 3986.

Note: At times while downloading installer through TFTP protocol, download progress would show 100% from the start to the end of the download. This behavior is observed whenever the TFTP server doesn't support the TFTP Option Negotiation. Also at times TFTP download takes more time to download the installer though the client and server are part of the same subnet, eventually download operation even times out after 30 minutes. The reason for such issue is the latency, here some of the TFTP server implementations are lagging performance. In such instances we recommend to switch to a different TFTP server. This TFTP download operation is verified in Debian Linux machine against the server present in the tftpd-hpa package.

Note: For SCP and SFTP, make sure the IP address/hostname present in the known_hosts file else SCP and SFTP will fail with the error message “curl: (60) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK”. If sys-update fails, the user is prompted to add the hostname/IP address in the known_hosts file to proceed with sys-update.

Command Syntax

sys-update get ((source-interface IFNAME) | (source-ip (A.B.C.D | X:X::X:X))|) URL (verbose|)

Parameters

IFNAME

The interface used to download the new version. If not specified, eth0 is used.

http://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-installer>> or

ftp://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-installer>> or

tftp://your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-installer>> or

scp://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-installer> or

sftp://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-installer>> or

file:///mnt/usb/path/to/file/<abc-installer>

A.B.C.D

The interface IPv4 address used to download the new version.

X:X::X:X

The interface IPv6 address used to download the new version.

verbose

Include download logs in the output.

Default

None

Command Mode

Privileged Exec mode

Applicability

This command was introduced in OcNOS version 1.3.6.

Examples

#sys-update get source-interface xe3 http://myServer/OcNOS-SP-MPLS-Q1-6.3.3-41-MR-installer

Example using SCP if IP address or hostname is not present in the known_hosts file.

OcNOS#sys-update get scp://root@10.12.33.204/home/OcNOS-SP-MPLS-Q1-6.3.3-41-MR-installer

sys-update install

Use this command to upgrade the current software to a newer version. You can do two types of installation:

• If a .deb file is provided, the board is loaded with new binaries.

• If an installer file is provided, the board is completely installed with a new kernel and binaries.

Note:

1. During an upgrade, if a license is not available the existing configuration is not applied. Also, the ZebOS.conf file is not created and the terminal monitor command is not allowed.

2. The URL must be compliant with RFC 3986.

3. When this command is executed without the source-interface parameter, then eth0 and the default management VRF are used. When this command is executed with the source-interface parameter then that interface is used.

4. At times while downloading installer through TFTP protocol, download progress would show 100% from the start to the end of the download. This behavior is observed whenever the TFTP server doesn't support the TFTP Option Negotiation. Also at times TFTP download takes more time to download the installer though the client and server are part of the same subnet, eventually download operation even times out after 30 minutes. The reason for such issue is the latency, here some of the TFTP server implementations are lagging performance. In such instances we recommend to switch to a different TFTP server. This TFTP download operation is verified in Debian Linux machine against the server present in the tftpd-hpa package.

5. For SCP and SFTP, make sure the IP address/hostname present in the known_hosts file else SCP and SFTP will fail with the error message “curl: (60) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK”. If sys-update fails, the user is prompted to add the hostname/IP address in the known_hosts file to proceed with sys-update.

Command Syntax

sys-update install (|(source-interface IFNAME | (source-ip (A.B.C.D | X:X::X:X)))) URL (verbose|)

Parameters

IFNAME

The interface used to download the new version. If not specified, eth0 is used.

URL

Where to get the new version:

<http://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-updater.deb> or abc-installer> or

<ftp://username:password@your-server-ip/path/to/file/<abc-updater.deb> or abc-installer> or

A.B.C.D

The interface IPv4 address used to download the new version.

X:X::X:X

The interface IPv6 address used to download the new version.

verbose

Include upgrade logs in the output.

Default

None

Caution

OcNOS services are using /usr/local/etc path to store the device configuration, and this path mounted into a separate partition to isolate system configurations. This partition is meant only for system configuration. It will affect the system stability if the user uses this partition for storing general files. In this problematic state, if the device reboots, OcNOS services will not start properly, that would even create problems to the device connectivity. There will be an impact on normal system configuration operations.

User must take care of this problem just before issuing the following commands:

• reload/sys-reload - Reboots the device.

• sys-shutdown - This is to shutdown the device, but when users powers the device OcNOS services won't start cleanly.

• reboot / shutdown - From Linux shell

• Also includes all copy commands from Linux shell before issuing the user triggered reload commands.

Command Mode

Privileged Exec mode

Applicability

This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

Examples

#sys-update install source-interface eth2 http://10.12.52.150/myServer/OcNOS-SP-MPLS-Q1-6.3.3-41-MR-installer

#sys-update install http://10.12.52.150/myServer/OcNOS-SP-MPLS-Q1-6.3.3-41-MR-installer

sys-update list-version

Use this command to display files and folders. This command supports only FTP and the local file system.

Command Syntax

sys-update list-version ((source-interface IFNAME)|) URL

Parameters

IFNAME

The interface used to download the list. If not specified, eth0 is used.

URL

Where to get the list:

ftp://(username@|)serverIP/path/to/file/

file:///mnt/usb/path/to/file/

Default

None

Command Mode

Privileged Exec mode

Applicability

This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

Examples

#sys-update list-version ftp://10.12.52.150/

sys-update un-install

Use this command to un-install the device software remotely using the CLI and NetConf.management interfaces. This command decouples the device console dependency to un-install OcNOS.

This command puts the device in ONIE un-install mode and triggers device reboot. Upon reboot, ONIE detects the un-install mode and performs the un-installation. Once the un-installation completes, the device boots ONIE. To understand more about the un-installation technique, see the U-Boot and x86 Architecture sections at:

https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/design-spec/index.html#.

Note: By default, ONIE has SSH and Telnet services running, so you also have the option to trigger the installation through the management connection. For more information about SSH and Telnet connectivity, see:

https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/user-guide/index.html#debugging-an-installation.
