Install or upgrade devices running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 using Ansible¶
This example explains how to use Ansible to install or upgrade the software image on a device running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10. The example playbook uses the dellos-image-upgrade role to upgrade or install a SmartFabric OS10 image on a specified switch.
Before using Ansible to install the software image, you must download the software image via FTP/TFTP/SCP/HTTPS, then specify the path to the image in the playbook. The dellos-image-upgrade role uses dellos10_command to install or upgrade the switch, and wait_for is used to identify the progress of the upgrade operation. Validation of the upgrade operation is handled using the dellos10_facts module.
Creating simple Ansible playbook¶
Step 1¶
Create an inventory file called inventory.yaml, then specify the device IP address.
spine1 ansible_host=2.2.2.1
[spine]
spine1
[datacenter:children]
spine
Step 2¶
Create a host variable file called host_vars/spine1.yaml, then define the host, credentials, and transport:
hostname: spine1
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellos10
dellos_image_upgrade:
operation_type: install
software_image_url: tftp://1.1.1.1/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.2.9999E.5790-installer-x86_64.bin
software_version: 10.2.9999E
Step 3¶
Create a playbook called datacenter.yaml.
