The DAS Server Shelf is initially delivered from the factory with its software pre-installed. It should only have to be reloaded when Cisco provides a software upgrade. This appendix provides procedures for:
The upgrades are executed from the StrataView Plus Workstation. To reload the DAS Server Shelf software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Upload the new DAS (INS) Dial-Up Frame Relay software from the tape onto the StrataView Plus Workstation:
- Make a directory on the StrataView Plus Workstation to hold the DAS (INS) software, for example:
mkdir usr/users/inssw
- Change to the directory you just created:
cd usr/users/inssw
- Extract the DAS (INS) Software into your current directory:
tar -xvf /dev/rst0
Step 2 Log in to the DAS Server Shelf as root.
Step 3 Shutdown the DAS (INS) process on the DAS Server Shelf with the shutdown command:
Note The
INS_STOP command only stops the DAS (INS) processes on the DAS Server Shelf. The UNIX
halt command shuts down all the UNIX processes. Ideally you should stop the DAS (INS) processes before halting and removing power from the DAS Server Shelf. Power does not have to be removed from the DAS Server Shelf to complete this software upgrade.
Step 4 Save the configuration of the DAS Server Shelf, by saving the files in opt/ins/mib directory into a temporary directory:
- Make a directory to temporarily store the MIB files:
- mkdir opt/ins/mibbak
- Move the files in opt/ins/mib to opt/ins/mibbak
- mv filenamen target
- where filenamen is the name of the file being moved
and target is the directory to which it is being moved.
Step 5 Download the new software (ins.tar) from the StrataView Plus workstation via FTP, for example:
- At the DAS Server Station, change to the directory where you will copy the DAS (INS) file:
- cd opt
- FTP to the StrataView Plus Workstation.
- FTP hostname
- where hostname is the StrataView Plus Workstation.
- Login to the StrataView Plus Workstation.
- Change to the directory where the ins.tar file is located; for example:
- cd usr/users/inssw
- Switch to binary mode by typing:
- bin
- and press Return
- FTP the ins.tar file to the DAS Server Shelf.
- get ins.tar
- This will FTP ins.tar to the DAS Server Shelf directory opt.
Step 6 Untar the ins.tar:
Step 7 Run INS_INSTALL from the /admin directory to install the new DAS Server Shelf software. This will also clear the existing configuration.
Step 8 Move the saved configuration files (see Step 4) from the temporary directory (e.g., mibbak) back into the /opt/ins/mib directory:
- Move the files in opt/ins/mibbak to opt/ins/mib
- mv filenamen target
- where filenamen is the name of the file being moved
and target is the directory to which it is being moved.
- (As an alternative to moving the exiting MIB files to a backup directory, then moving them back to their original directory after the DAS (INS) files are installed, you could run INS_MIBINSTALL from the opt/ins/admin directory after installing the INS files. INS_MIBINSTALL will create a new unconfigured MIB database, however.)
Step 9 Reboot the workstation.
To reload DAS (INS) Daemon software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Stop the StrataView Plus processes.
Step 2 cp or tar a new daemon.tar file to the /usr/users/svplus directory.
Step 3 ps -aux insd; confirm insd is not runnning.
Step 4 mv insd to insd.old
Step 5 tar xvpf daemon.tar (file) from /usr/users/svplus
Step 6 cd /bin and confirm insd now exists
Step 7 Start the StrataView Plus processes.
Step 8 ps -aux insd and confirm insd is running.
Step 9 Confirm the DAS Server Shelf comes back on line by:
tail -f /usr/users/svplus/log/insd.log
