CAUTION: The system --shutdown command powers off the appliance on which the DR Series system software is

system --upgrade

Description

Upgrades the version of the DR Series system software installed on a supported DR Series hardware appliance.

Syntax

system --upgrade

NOTE: To obtain the latest DR Series system upgrade image, navigate to the Dell Support website (dell.com/
support), enter your service tag or select your product, and download the latest DR Series system software
upgrade image file to the local system using WinSCP.

NOTE: Prior to performing a DR Series system CLI-based upgrade, make sure to download the DR Series system
upgrade image. To initiate a DR Series system software upgrade for Windows users using the DR Series system
CLI, the system software upgrade image file (in tar.gz format) is validated by the DR Series system, renamed to
DRSeries_payload.tar.gz, and transferred to a directory/store location known to the DR Series system.

When you use the DR Series system CLI system --upgrade command, the DR Series system looks in this known
directory/store location for the DRSeries_payload.tar.gz file, and starts the system software upgrade process.

NOTE: If the SSH session is lost for any reason during the upgrade process, this loss terminates the SSH session
and also terminates the upgrade process that was running. If this SSH session loss occurs during an upgrade
process and results in a terminated session, you should reboot the DR Series system and retry the system
software upgrade process.

base DR Series system. The expansion shelf licenses are based on the size of the expansion shelves; for details on
