Upgrade NVOS

Use the REST API to upgrade NVOS on your switches. First, create a switch profile, then upload the NVOS image and track the progress of the upgrade.

Requirements

• Download the NVOS image from the NVIDIA Enterprise Support Portal.
• Only the admin or read-write user (rw-user) can perform the steps in this section.

Upgrade NVOS

1. Authenticate your credentials by creating a switch profile. Make a POST request to the /v1/switch-profiles endpoint that contains your username and password. Copy the ProfileID from the response body. You will use it in a later step.

2. Upload the NVOS image by making a POST request to the /v1/images endpoint. After the image is successfully uploaded, the response body returns an ImageID. Copy the ID. You will use it in the next step.

3. Make a POST request to the /v1/upgrade-switch endpoint; include the ProfileID and ImageID from the previous steps, in addition to the IP addresses of the switches you want to upgrade.

4. If all initial validations succeed, the API returns an HTTP 202 Accepted response with a JSON body containing an operation ID. You can make a GET request to the /v1/operations/ endpoint to track the progress of the upgrade.
