To upgrade the MLNX-OS on InfiniBand switches, the recommended procedure is as follows:
Connect to the switch via SSH : Establish a secure shell connection to the switch using its management IP address.
Fetch the MLNX-OS software image : Obtain the appropriate MLNX-OS software image from the official source or repository.
Use the 'install' command to perform the upgrade : Execute the 'install' command on the switch to initiate the upgrade process with the fetched software image.
This method ensures a smooth and efficient upgrade without the need for physical intervention or service disruption.
