To configure a software upgrade policy
Purpose
Perform this procedure to configure a policy that you can use to perform an on-demand device software upgrade, ISSU, or a scheduled device software upgrade.
Note: For information about device software downgrades, contact Nokia technical support.
Steps
1 |
Ensure that the following conditions are present. |
2 |
Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Software Upgrade from the NFM-P main menu. The Software Upgrade form opens. |
3 |
Click Create. The Software Upgrade Policy (Create) form opens. |
4 |
If you are creating a policy, configure the Policy Type parameter. Perform one of the following:
|
5 |
If the Policy Type is SR Based Node, configure the Software Download, Activate Image, and Software Upgrade parameters to specify the actions that the NFM-P is to perform using the policy. Configure the parameters in the Extension Shelf Settings panel to specify the actions performed on extension shelves that are connected to the node. Configure the Firmware Settings, see To upgrade 7705 SAR-Hm radio card firmware. Note: The Activate Image parameter does not apply to the 210 WBX. To check the disk space, perform one of the following:
If the Software Download parameter is selected, the NFM-P downloads a software image to the NE when performing an activation, regardless of whether the image is already present on the NE. If the Software Upgrade parameter is selected, perform one of the following to configure the Software Upgrade Options parameter. Note: Depending on the permissions in your scope of command profile, the Software Upgrade Options parameter may not be configurable.

6 |
If the Policy Type is Generic NE Node, configure the Transfer Protocol parameter and the parameters in the FTP Settings or SFTP Settings panel. Note: You must ensure that the following conditions are met before you attempt to use the software upgrade policy.
|

If the Policy Type is 1830 VWM OSU Node, perform the following:
|
8 |
Click Apply. |
9 |
Depending on the Transfer Protocol parameter value you specified, configure the FTP or SFTP parameters. |
10 |
Configure the remaining parameters. Note: The default value for the CFlash Image Root Path and CFlash Backup Root Path parameters specifies compact flash drive cf3, which may not exist on some devices. To check the drive availability and capacity on an NE, click FTP Browser or SSH File Browser; see To view an NE file system using an FTP file browser and To view an NE file system using an SSH file browser for browser usage information. Some 7210 SAS devices are equipped with a USB flash memory (uf1). The NFM-P display does not distinguish between compact flash memory (cf) and USB flash memory (uf). To avoid file transfer failures, Nokia recommends that you equip 7210 SAS-X NEs with a USB flash drive, and configure the CFlash Backup Root Path parameter with a file path on the USB drive (uf1:). |
