| ONIE: Diag ONIE | • Install OS - Boots to the ONIE prompt and installs an OS10 image using the automatic discovery process. When ONIE installs a new operating system (OS) image, the previously installed image and OS10 configuration are deleted. • Rescue - Boots to the ONIE prompt and allows for manual installation of an OS10 image or updating ONIE. • Uninstall OS - Deletes the contents of all disk partitions, including the OS10 configuration, except ONIE and diagnostics. • Update ONIE - Installs a new ONIE version. • Embed ONIE - Formats an empty disk and installs ONIE. • Diag ONIE - Runs the system diagnostics. After the ONIE process installs an OS10 image and you later reboot the switch in ONIE: Install OS mode (default), ONIE takes ownership of the system and remains in Install mode (ONIE Install mode is sticky) until an OS10 image successfully installs again. To boot the switch from ONIE for any reason other than installation, select the ONIE: Rescue or ONIE: Update ONIE option from the ONIE boot menu. CAUTION: During an automatic or manual OS10 installation, if an error condition occurs that results in an unsuccessful installation, perform Uninstall OS first to clear the partitions if there is an existing OS on the device. If the problem persists, contact Dell EMC Technical Support. Automatic installation You can automatically install an OS10 image on a Dell ONIE-enabled device. Once the device successfully boots to ONIE: Install OS, autodiscovery obtains the hostname, domain name, Management interface IP address, as well as the IP address of the DNS name server(s) on your network from the DHCP server and DHCP options. The ONIE automatic-discovery process locates the stored software image, starts installation, then reboots the device with the new software image. If a USB drive is inserted, auto-discovery searches the USB storage supporting FAT or EXT2 file systems. It also searches SCP, FTP, or TFTP servers with the default DNS name of the ONIE server. DHCP options are not used to provide the server IP, and the auto discovery method repeats until a successful software image installation occurs and reboots the switch. Example for automatic installation 1 Use the mv image_name onie-installer command to rename the image as onie-installer. mv PKGS_OS10-Base-10.3.1B.144-installer-x86_64.bin onie-installer 2 After renaming, the system enters the ONIE: Install mode. Enter the command onie-discovery-start, which automatically discovers the onie-installer image from the DHCP server. ONIE:/ # onie-discovery-start discover: installer mode detected. Running installer. Starting: discover... done. ONIE:/ # Info: eth0: Checking link... up. Info: Trying DHCPv4 on interface: eth0 ONIE: Using DHCPv4 addr: eth0: 10.10.10.17 / 255.0.0.0 Info: eth1: Checking link... down. ONIE: eth1: link down. Skipping configuration.
