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
 
1 

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


2 

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


3 

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.


4 

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


5 

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


6 

Click Load and choose the 1830 VWM device.


7 

Click Activate and choose the 1830 VWM device.


8 

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


9 

Click Commit and choose the 1830 VWM device.


10 

Save your changes and close the forms.
