This chapter provides step-by-step procedures to upgrade your CWM workstation software. The CWM 10.3 software upgrade installation process uses InstallShield to simplify the process.
 |
Note You can upgrade your software to CWM 10.3 only if your workstation is currently running SV+ 9.1.10, CWM 9.2.09, or CWM 10.1 or 10.2 software. |
Before installing the CWM 10.3 software on the CWM workstation, the following software should already be installed (in the following order):
Refer to Chapter 1 for instructions on installing these products.
Before you begin installing the Solaris 2.7 Operating System as part of the software upgrade, make sure you have exported a copy of your database if you are upgrading from SV+ 9.1.10 or CWM 9.2 09. If you are upgrading from 10.1 or 10.2, exporting the database is not necessary, but you must stop the CWM core processes.
This section describes how to save a copy of the current database using the Informix OnLine dbexport command. Refer to Informix OnLine documentation for information about the dbexport command.
 |
Caution Do not create the directory you are going to save the Informix OnLine database to under the /usr/user directory. The directory should be on a seperate NFS-mounted disk or saved to a tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive. |
Step 2 Stop the CWM core processes if not already stopped
Step 3 Create a directory to save the Informix OnLine database to, and change its permissions as follows:
host% mkdir <save_database_directory>
The <save_database_directory> directory should be a seperate NFS-mounted directory.
host% chmod 777 <save_database_directory>
Step 4 Change directory to the <save_database_directory> directory:
host% cd <save_database_directory>
Step 5 Log in as user informix.
Step 6 Verify enough disk space is available for the Informix OnLine database:
host% onstat -d
Step 7 Invoke the dbexport command:
host% dbexport -o <save_database_directory> <database_name>
We recommend you use the name you assigned to the database during the INSTALL script as the <database_name> name. The default name in the INSTALL script was stratacom.
Step 8 To save the database residing in <save_database_directory> to a tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive:
host% tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 <save_database_directory>
The Informix OnLine database is now saved to a safe location.
If you are upgrading from 9.2.09, save the following files to the <save_database_directory> above and/or the tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive:
If you are upgrading from 9.1.10, save the following file to the <save_database_directory> above and/or the tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive:
|
Note The *.sm files do not exist in SV+ 9.1.10. |
To upgrade to CWM 10.3 software, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Enter the following commands:
host% cd /cdrom/cdrom0 host% ls
Step 3 Check for the file InstallCWM.sh and begin the install process by entering the following command:
host% ./InstallCWM.sh
The CWM Installation Welcome screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Step 4 Click Next on the welcome screen to continue.
The README Information screen, Figure 3-2, is displayed.
Step 5 After reading the information presented on the Information screen, click Next.
The Information About the Upgrading Procedure screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Step 6 At the Information About Upgrade screen, select Yes and click Next.
The Upgrade Installation window is displayed.
|
Note If you are upgrading from SV+ 9.1.10 or CWM 9.2 09 and have not yet performed a dbexport, it is too late to export your database now. You must have exported your database BEFORE installing Solaris 2.7. Otherwise, your existing database will be lost. |
Step 7 At the Upgrade Installation window, indicate whether you are upgrading from SV+ 9.1.10, CWM 9.2 09, CWM 10.1, or 10.2, then click Next.
The Auto-Partition screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Step 8 At the Auto-Partition screen, accept the default No and click Next.
The Meta Devices screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Step 9 At the Meta Devices screen, accept the default No and click Next.
The Multiple Disk Configuration for Informix screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Step 10 At the Multiple Disk Configuration for Informix screen, if you have one disk accept the default No and click Next. If you have two disks, click on the Yes radio button and then click Next to continue.
The Select the Raw Partition for CWM Database screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Step 11 At the Select the Raw Partition for CWM Database screen, select the partition you configured during the Solaris software installation process, accept the default name of stratacom, then click Next.
|
Note If you are upgrading from CWM 10.1 or 10.2, you must choose the same raw partition and disk configuration for Informix as was configured in the previous installation. |
|
Note If you have multiple hard disks configured, more partitions will be displayed than those shown in Figure 3-7. |
The Install Orbix screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Step 12 At the Install Orbix screen, accept the default Yes and click Next.
The Enter the Domain Name screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-9.
Step 13 At the Enter the Domain Name screen, enter the domain configured for the workstation. This information allows the CWM client workstations access to the database. Also ensure that the workstation and the domain is reachable. You can use the ping command to test this.
The only reason to leave the Domain Name field empty (or blank) would be for a standalone CWM server that would never have client workstations.
Step 14 After entering the domain name, click Install.
The software installation process begins. This process will take about 30-60 minutes depending on the speed and resources of the CWM workstation. The installation screen shows a dynamic indicator bar, which moves across the screen, indicating the progress of the installation process, as shown in Figure 3-10.
|
Note Because you are upgrading your software, the upgrade installation process may find files that already exist on your CWM workstation. When this occurs, a dialog will display asking if it is OK to overwrite this file. When this occurs, reply Yes to All. |
Prior to the indicator reaching the end of its path, if you are upgrading from a Release 9 version of SV+, a dialog box displays informing you that a reboot is necessary, as shown in Figure 3-11.
Step 15 Click OK on the dialog box.
A dialog box displays informing you that the installation is complete, as shown in Figure 3-12.
Step 16 Click Finish on the dialog box.
Doing so ends the software installation process, and the Install Shield screen closes.
The system will automatically reboot at this point.
The reboot sequence aligns the cylinders of your hard disks and gracefully shuts down the Solaris operating system.
The OK prompt is displayed.
|
Note At this point, you can push the CDROM eject button on the CDROM drive to eject the installation CD. |
The following configuration tasks should be completed after installing the CWM 10.3 software.
Type eject in the Terminal Window to remove the CWM 10.3 CD, if you have not already removed it from the CDROM drive.
After completing the CWM 10.3 upgrade software installation, perform the following steps when you log in to CWM as user svplus.
Step 2 Close the File Manager and Help windows, leaving only the CDE menu bar.
Step 3 Right click on blank screen, highlight Tools, then Terminal.
Move this terminal window to the upper right corner of the screen.)
Step 4 Right click on blank screen highlight Hosts, then Terminal Console.
Lower the height to display four lines and move this window so that it rests above the CDE menu bar. This window provides a display of workstation system messages.
Step 5 Left click the CDE icon labeled TTT.
The Style Manager window is displayed.
Step 6 Left click on Screen, click screen saver and screen lock off, then click OK.
If you prefer to use the screen saver, highlight choice(s) and start the screen saver at 29 minutes. Start the screen lock at 30 minutes, click OK
Step 7 Click on Backdrop and select GrayDk, then click Apply.
Do the same to all four screens, labeled One, Two, Three and Four in the CDE icon bar. In Four click OK and return to screen One. This helps to conserve workstation resources.
Step 8 Click the CDE icon labeled TTT, then click on Startup in the Style Manager. Click on Set Home Session and click OK.
The next login session will come up using this same screen configuration. Click OK and close the Style Manager.
Step 9 Place the cursor in the terminal window, and use vi to edit the network.conf file.
% cd /usr/users/svplus/config % vi network.conf
Step 10 Modify the network.conf file depending on your network requirements.
For BPX/IGX networks using in-band management, provide the following information for your network:
NETWORK:Network1 GATEWAYS:sj123456 DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:AUTOROUTE IP REACHABILITY FLAG:NWIP_OFF
|
Note To save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!. |
For BPX/IGX networks using in-band management, provide the following information for your network:
NETWORK:Network2 GATEWAYS:sj234567 DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:PNNI
|
Note Enter a pound sign (#) in the first space of the DISCOVER line if you are not using PNNI for MGX 8850, Release 2 nodes or SES nodes. |
At the CWM workstation, log in as user root, and examine the following files.
|
Note The IP addresses shown are examples. Use addresses relevant to your network. |
Examine the /etc/hosts file and check all nodes' IP LAN addresses, IP relay addresses, and node names. To view the /etc/hosts file, enter the following command:
host% more /etc/hosts
Following is an example of the /etc/hosts file:
209.165.200.225 <tab> igx2 10.10.10.225 <tab> igx2-r
The first line shows a node's LAN IP address. The second line shows an IP-relay address. If possible, use the same last octet value for NWIP as the LAN IP address.
Examine the /etc/netmasks file for all subnet and netmask entries. To view the /etc/netmasks file, enter the following command:
host% more /etc/netmasks
Examine the /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc file to ensure that the IP relay address points to the gateway node. To view the /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc file, enter the following command:
host% more /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc
Use the vi editor to open the S72inetsvc file and find the following line:
/usr/sbin/route add -interface -netmask "224.0.0.0" "224.0.0.0" "$mcastif" )&
Add the following line directly below that line:
/usr/sbin/route add net 10.10.10.0 209.165.200.225 1 (use your site's valid IP addresses)
|
Note When using the vi editor, remember to write your changes before quitting.To save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!. |
Examine the /etc/defaultrouter file. To view the /etc/defaultrouter file, enter the following command:
host% more /etc/defaultrouter
|
Note This file might not exist and if so, it must be created. |
If it is not currently in the file, use the vi editor to add a line containing the IP address of the default router to which the CWM workstation is attached.
|
Note When using the vi editor, remember to write your changes before quittingTo save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!. |
Examine the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file. Check for the mnemonic of the gateway node. Also, for BPX/IGX, check the IP Reachability Flag:
To view the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file, enter the following command:
host% more /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf
|
Note Use only one Gateway per network in AutoRoute networks. |
NETWORK:Network1 GATEWAYS:nmsbpx12 DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:AUTOROUTE IP REACHABILITY FLAG:NWIP_ON OPTIONAL:"TIMEOUT = 7, RETRANSMIT = 6, THROTTLE = 0, ACKNOWLEDGE = 30, BLOCKSIZE = 1024"
Table 3-1 provides a list of the parameters in the network.conf file.
| Parameter Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
TIMEOUT | 7 | Link timeout value. The amount of time to wait before resending a message to an IGX 8400/BPX 8600 when a response is not received. This field must not be changed. |
RETRANSMIT | 6 | Link retry count. The number of times CWM will retransmit a message before it declares the link down. This field must not be changed. |
THROTTLE | 0 | Download throttling timeout value. This field must not be changed. |
ACKNOWLEDGE | 30 | ACK timeout value used during the download process. When an acknowledgment to a configuration message sent to an IGX 8400, or BPX 8600 is not received within this time period, the message is sent again. |
BLOCKSIZE | 256 | Block size used for an IGX 8400, or BPX 8600 configuration upload. |
|
Note PNNI networks do not use the IP REACHABILITY and the OPTIONAL parameters |
NETWORK:Network2 GATEWAYS:nmsbpx01,nmsbpx11 DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:PNNI
Change directory to /system and enter the ls command. Check to see that all required HPOV PSOV_XXXXX patches have been installed.
host% cd /system host% ls
Check to see that the CWM installation process added the required semaphores. Use the vi editor to open the /etc/system file, go to the bottom of the file, and confirm that the following lines have been added:
forceload: sys/shmsys forceload: sys/semsys set semsys:seminfo_semaem=16384 set semsys:seminfo_semmap=66 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semume=64 set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=30 (This is a lower case L in semmsl) set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
|
Note These changes will not take effect until after the CWM workstation has been rebooted. |
After completing the configuration, reboot the workstation.
# sync ;sync ;reboot
