Image upgrade role

This role facilitates upgrades or installation of a software image. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10.

The Image upgrade role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables.

Role variables

  • Setting an empty value for any variable negates the corresponding configuration
  • Variables and values are case-sensitive

os10_image_upgrade keys

Key Type Description Support
operation_type string: cancel,install Displays the type of image operation os10
software_image_url string Configures the URL path to the image file os10
software_version string Displays the software version of the image file os10
number_of_retries int Configures the numbe of retries to check the status of image install process os10

Connection variables

Ansible Dell EMC network roles require connection information to establish communication with the nodes in your inventory. This information can exist in the Ansible group_vars or host_vars directories or inventory or in the playbook itself.

Key Required Choices Description
ansible_host yes Specifies the hostname or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport
ansible_port no Specifies the port used to build the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT option is used; it defaults to 22
ansible_ssh_user no Specifies the username that authenticates the CLI login for the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER environment variable value is used
ansible_ssh_pass no Specifies the password that authenticates the connection to the remote device
ansible_become no yes, no* Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME environment variable value is used, and the device attempts to execute all commands in non-privileged mode
ansible_become_method no enable, sudo* Instructs the module to allow the become method to be specified for handling privilege escalation; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME_METHOD environment variable value is used
ansible_become_pass no Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device; if ansible_become is set to no this key is not applicable
ansible_network_os yes os10, null* Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

Example playbook

This example uses the os10_image_upgrade role to upgrade/install software image. It creates a hosts file with the switch details, corresponding host_vars file, and a simple playbook that references the os10_image_upgrade role.

Sample hosts file

leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address>

Sample host_vars/leaf1

hostname: leaf1
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellemc.os10.os10
os10_image_upgrade:
  operation_type: install
  software_image_url: tftp://10.16.148.8/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.2.9999E.5790-installer-x86_64.bin
  software_version: 10.2.9999E
  number_of_retries: 50

Simple playbook to setup system — leaf.yaml

- hosts: leaf1
  roles:
     - dellemc.os10.os10_image_upgrade

Run

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
