Software upgrade workflow

General information

General workflow to perform Wavence device software upgrades:

Process

Upgrade the device software, as required.

 

Create a software upgrade policy; see Wavence software upgrade policy requirements in this section for the specific conditions that apply to Wavence software upgrade policies, and see “To configure a software upgrade policy” in the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.


Download the image package to a directory on the NFM-P client station. Extract the package and ensure that the software description file is in the same directory.


Import the software description file; see “To import device software files to the NFM-P” in the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.

NFM-P transfers the description file to a specified FTP server from which the Wavence subsequently retrieves the image files.


Perform a software upgrade to transfer the files to the required NEs; see To perform an on-demand Wavence software upgrade in this guide or “To schedule an NE software upgrade” in the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.


Activate the new software as the running software; see To manage the Wavence running software.
