3 Configuring the MMP
The Acano solution components are configured using the MMP.
3.1 Creating and managing MMP and Web Admin Interface User
Accounts
You should have created a MMP administrator user account by following one of the Installation
Guides; if so, go on to the next section. The same account is used to access the Web Admin
Interface.
(If you do not have an MMP administrator user account, you will have to use the emergency
admin recovery procedure detailed in the appropriate Installation Guide.)
Note: To set up additional administrator user accounts and user accounts with other roles and
the full range of user commands, see the Acano solution MMP Command Reference.
3.2 Upgrading Software
Acano X series servers ship with the latest release available at the time of shipment but may not
be up-to-date. Equally, if you downloaded the OVF ZIP file for the virtualized deployment some
days ago, we advise you to check on the Acano website whether a later version is available, and
if so, upgrade before you start testing. The following instructions apply to both types of
deployment:
1. To find out which version the Acano solution is running, SSH into the MMP, sign in and type:
version
2. To upgrade, first download the updated .img file from your Acano reseller.
NOTE: Ensure that you install the correct image file for your type of deployment; that is
either the Acano X series server upgrade file or the virtualized server image file; each is
clearly labeled. Note that you may need to rename the file to upgrade.img before going on
to step 3.
3. Use a SFTP client to upload a new image to the MMP, for example using a command line
SFTP client (where 10.1.x.y is an IP address or domain name):
For example:
sftp admin@10.1.124.10
put upgrade.img
4. Then to complete the upgrade, connect via SSH to into the MMP and type:
upgrade
Allow 10 minutes for the solution to restart.
5. To verify that the upgrade was successful, SSH into the MMP, log in and type the following
command to verify that you are now running the version that you intended to:
