    copy config://startup.xml config://<backup file name>
  4. Check the ONIE kernel version version in use: 
    system "file /mnt/onie-boot/onie/vmlinuz*"
  5. Only if ONIE kernel version is 4.x.x proceed further with OS 10 upgrade using further steps
  6. Extract the downloaded tar file in above steps to get binary image
  7. Download the image (Only downloads, does not installs) to OS 10 switch using: 
    image download file-url
    For example scp from a remote Linux machine 
    image download scp://userid:passwd@hostip:/filepath
  8. Check image status 
    show image status
  9. Only if running OS10 release 10.5.0.x or earlier and installing 10.5.2.0 or later now 
    image cancel

    dir image
  11. Install the 10.5.2.6 or later software image in EXEC mode.

  12. See image status and boot detail 
    show image status
