To perform an 1830 VWM on-demand software upgrade

Before you begin

Configure a software upgrade policy or use the default “VWM OSU Default Policy”.

See To configure a software upgrade policy for more information about configuring a software upgrade policy.

Steps
 

Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Software Upgrade from the NFM-P main menu. The Software Upgrade form opens.


Click on the Software Images tab and then on the 1830 VWM OSU Software Images tab.


Note: NFM-P requires only CATALOG and osu.isd files to be present in the specified folder to import the image. Copy the CATALOG and osu.isd files to a separate folder or remove all other files from the folder before you begin with import operation.

Perform one of the following:

  1. Import image files from the NFM-P main server file system:

    1. Click Import. The Select Import VWM Software form opens.

    2. Select a software image and click OK. The NFM-P saves the image in a directory below /opt/nsp/nfmp/nesoftware/SAM/VWMOSU/.

      When the import is complete, an entry for the image file appears in the list.

  2. Import 1830 VWM software from a remote location.

    Note: The remote system address is the server IP address that is configured in the software upgrade policy. See Step 7 of the To configure a software upgrade policy for more information.

    1. Click Remote Path. A Remote Path notification box appears.

    2. Click Yes. The Software Directory Path form opens.

    3. Enter the remote software path, which is an absolute path in the following format:

      /directory/device-software_version

      For example:

      /root/Desktop/1830VWMOSU-8.5-0

    When the remote path import is complete, an entry for the image file is listed on the form.


Choose an appropriate 1830 VWM software image and click Audit. The Confirm Audit Settings dialog box opens.


Configure the Audit Settings parameter, choose an 1830 VWM device and click OK.


Click Load and choose the 1830 VWM device.


Click Activate and choose the 1830 VWM device.


Click Revert and choose an 1830 VWM device to revert to a previously committed software release, if required.


Click Commit and choose the 1830 VWM device.
