This chapter contains the following sections:
Many users can access Cisco UGM—like all Element Management Systems—on the Cisco EMF platform. You must take precautions to avoid simultaneously accessing and modifying the same network object or any of its components.
 |
Note Establish access schedules for all your users. |
This table shows image management actions available for Cisco UGM-managed devices Cisco AS5350, AS5400, AS5800, and AS5850:
| AS5350 | AS5400 | AS5800 | AS5800 with 324 Universal Port Card | AS5850 | State Change | Can Be Scheduled | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Send IOS Image | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Install Modem Image | N/A | N/A | Yes | N/A | N/A | Yes | Yes |
| Install SPE Image | Yes | Yes | N/A | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
With Cisco UGM, you can install an image file on several managed devices. In order to do this, you must first associate the image file with the devices; then, download the image to the devices.
|
Note When you complete IOS operations on the devices, do not close the IOS Operations dialog box. After the actions are completed, an Action Report window shows the status of all attempted IOS operations. |
Changes that you make are applied only to the selected device.
Step 1 In Map View > Physical, right-click the device object that will receive the new image, and select Device Readiness Configuration.
Step 2 Click the Login tab. Select an authentication method:
Step 3 Enter the Group Authentication Object Name to apply to the device.
Step 4 Enter a password for administrators to access the system.
Step 5 Enter the username as configured on the device.
Step 6 Enter a password corresponding to the User ID, followed by the login password.
Step 7 Click OK.
Step 8 Click the Trap tab. Select the interface where SNMP traps currently originate.
Step 9 Choose if the traps should be saved to NV Ram.
Step 10 Click Set Trap Source and Trap Receiver. This starts Cisco IOS commands that enable trap forwarding by using the specified input as the source interface and the local host as the trap destination.
Step 1 In the Physical tree, locate and right-click the device for which you want to enter access parameters.
Step 2 Select Configure Device > Perform IOS Operations.
Step 3 Select the interface through which Cisco IOS commands can access the selected devices.
|
Note If you plan to download an IOS image to a Cisco AS5800 device, select Console in this field. In the Cisco AS5800 device, Cisco UGM discovers the router shelf to represent the device, and the controllers are discovered as device subcomponents. |
Step 4 If you selected the Console configuration interface to configure the device, enter the IP address and the part number of the connected console.
Step 5 Select the firmware upgrade method:
Step 6 After you have entered the IOS access parameters, save them:
Step 1 Choose NAS-File-Repository > AS5xxxchassis > Import Files/Images.
The Deployment Wizard appears.
Step 2 In the Template Choices window, select the option appropriate to the file that you want to import.
Step 3 Click Forward.
Step 4 In the first Object Parameters window, note or enter the name of the image file object as it will appear in the Map Viewer.
Step 5 Click Forward.
Step 6 Enter the path, filename, and description of the image file you want to import into the NAS-File-Repository.
Step 7 View the summary dialog. If this is correct, click Finish.
Step 8 When you receive a message indicating the store operation was successful, click Dismiss.
The user-supplied image file is now stored in the appropriate category under the NAS-File-Repository view. Now you can associate it with a specific device in the network.
You must associate an image file with a device before you can download it to the device.
If you have already associated the image file with a device, see "Task 4: Option 2: Re-associating an Image with a NAS-File-Repository Object" section.
Step 1 In the Cisco UGM tree, locate and right-click the device with which you want to associate the image file:
Step 2 Choose Configure Device > Associate File Repository Object with Device.
Step 3 Select one or more of these device objects:
If you select multiple devices, make sure that they are all of the same type: all AS5350, AS5400, AS5800, or AS5850 devices.
Step 4 Select one of these device objects:
Step 5 Select the type of image file that you want to download to the selected device. This is an IOS configuration file with pre-specified parameters.
Step 6 View the imported file objects and select the version of the configuration file that you want to apply.
When you select the imported file version, the Selected File Repository Object, Description, and Original File Path fields are updated to show the attributes of the selected file.
Step 7 Click Save Association.
The corresponding field in the Device Associated With panel is updated to reflect the new image file association.
By re-associating an existing file repository object with a new file, you can download the new image to many devices without associating the file with each device.
Step 1 In the Cisco UGM tree under the NAS-File-Repository node, locate and right-click the image file object that you want to associate with a new configuration file.
Step 2 Select Re-associate File Repository Object with New File.
Existing NAS-File-Repository objects are listed in the left-hand list box.
Step 3 Select the name of the existing NAS-File-Repository object that you want to associate with a new file.
Step 4 Enter a description for the new file.
Cisco UGM displays the original filename and path associated with the selected repository object.
Step 5 Enter the path and filename of the new image file that you want to store as the NAS-File-Repository object that you selected in Step 3.
Step 6 Click Save Association.
The NAS-File-Repository object points to the new or modified file, and the association with the device is updated.
You can download the image to a device now, or schedule it for a later date or time. If you chose to schedule the action for a later time, a Scheduled Action object is created under the ScheduledActions view. The target devices appear under the scheduled action object. You can cancel the scheduled action by deleting its object from the ScheduledActions view.
See the "(Optional) Task 6: Viewing or Cancelling Scheduled Actions" section.
|
Note If the image installation fails, you must manually reinstall the IOS image on the target device immediately to prevent an unscheduled restart that sends the device into boot mode. |
 |
Tip If the Install IOS Image operation was scheduled, but you subsequently deleted the devices from the Viewer Map, the devices are deleted from all Cisco UGM views—including the ScheduledActions view. |
Step 1 You can select an image by entering these commands:
show flash
config t
