Starting with Dell Networking OS Release 9.3(0.0), BMP 3.1 is supported on the S6000 platform. For details about the

commands and configuration procedures of BMP 3.1, refer the Open Automation Guide.

The stop bmp command behaves as follows:

While Dell Networking OS image upgrade is in progress, it aborts the BMP process after the Dell Networking OS image is

When applying configurations from the file, it aborts the BMP process after all configurations are applied in the system.

When running pre-configuration or post-configuration scripts, it stops execution of the script and aborts the BMP process

immediately.

While downloading the configuration or script file, it aborts the BMP process after the download, and neither applies the

configuration nor runs the script.

When you enter the CONFIGURATION mode during the BMP process, warning or error messages are displayed to avoid any

configuration conflicts between the user and the BMP process.

Removal of the Deprecated User-Defined String

Parameter with reload-type Command

The user-defined-string parameter available with the reload-type command, which was deprecated in Dell Networking

OS release 9.2(0.0) and earlier, is now removed. The vendor-class-identifier parameter replaces the user-defined-

string parameter.

The vendor class identifier (option 60) supports up to 128 characters to include the Type, Hardware, Serial Number, Service

Tag, and OS Version fields.

Replacement of stop jump-start Command With

the stop bmp Command

The stop jump-start command is replaced with the stop bmp in BMP 3.1 and later. BMP versions 1.5 and 2.0 continue to

support the stop jump-start command.
