5 Perform an on-demand software upgrade or an ISSU to transfer the software image
files to each NE that you need to upgrade. See Procedure 8-21 for 7210 SAS
7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7710 SR, 7750 MG, 7750 SR, or 7950 XRS upgrade information.
See Procedure 8-23 or Procedure 8-24 for OmniSwitch upgrade information.
6 Perform a software license upgrade to allow OS 6250SME and OS 6450 NEs to
function in the Ethernet (Metro) role and support the OmniSwitch Ethernet
(Metro) feature set; see Procedure 8-25.
7 After the upgrade, verify that the boot environment synchronization is successful.
8 If required, reboot the NE.
9 View the software upgrade status of the NE to verify whether the upgrade is
successful. See Procedure 8-32 for more information.
10 Verify whether the transferred files and configurations are on the device by
viewing the contents of the NE file systems through an FTP or SSH file browser, as
required. See Procedures 8-35 and 8-36 for more information.
11 Remove obsolete software images from the device.
12 Resynchronize the NE using the 5620 SAM GUI. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for
more information.
13 As required, perform upgrade verification tests.
8.5 Workflow to perform a 9500 MPR or 9500 MPRe software
upgrade
1 Create a 9500 MPR or 9500 MPRe software upgrade policy; see Procedure 8-1 for
more information. Configure the FTP server details in the upgrade policy. The
images are transferred to the specified FTP server; the 9500 MPR or 9500 MPRe
device subsequently retrieves the image files from the FTP server.
Caution — Ensure that you regularly remove from the 5620 SAM device
software images that are no longer required, for example, by deleting
the images or by exporting to a file system. An accumulation of device
software images can dramatically increase the length of operations such
as backup, restore, and reinstantiation.
Note — The software upgrade policy provides the 9500 MPR or
9500 MPRe device with information about the location of the new
software image files.
