Procedure 8-18 To import device software image or description files
to the 5620 SAM database
Perform this procedure to import a set of device software files or 9500 MPR/9500 MPRe
software description files into the 5620 SAM database for use during device software
upgrades.
1 Make the new device software files available to the 5620 SAM.
i If the device software files are compressed in an archive, for example, a
TiMOS ZIP file, extract the files from the archive to an empty directory. The
directory contents must have one of the following structures:
• flat—all files are in one directory, and there are no subdirectories
• tiered—the directory contains a boot loader file and a subdirectory
contains the software image files; for example, if you are importing a set
of 7750 SR files and you extract the files to /ExtractDir, the structure is
the following:
/ExtractDir/cflash contains boot.ldr
/ExtractDir/cflash/X.x.Rx contains the following files:
• both.tim
• cpm.tim
where X.x.Rx is the software release identifier
When you import the software, you must specify the parent software
directory, which in the example is the cflash directory.
ii Copy or move the files to a location that is accessible to the 5620 SAM.
2 Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Software Upgrade from the 5620 SAM
main menu. The Software Upgrade form opens.
3 Click on the Software Images tab.
4 Click on the appropriate tab for the type of NE that you need to upgrade.
Note 1 — The type of directory structure in a device software archive
depends on the device type and release.
Note 2 — Release 8.0 and later 7450 ESS, 7710 SR, and 7750 SR devices
use a common software image with a Product Name of
Alcatel-SR/ESS-7XXX.
Note 3 — If you are importing a device software image for the
7705 SAR-8, 7705 SAR-8 CSMv2, or 7705 SAR-18, Release 6.0 R1 or later,
the TiMOS ZIP file contains a pkgs directory with an MPT subdirectory.
Note 1 — Alcatel-Lucent recommends that all OmniSwitch software
image files, including any optional and boot files, are available in the
specified directory for importing to the 5620 SAM database.
Note 2 — 9500 MPR devices require only the software description
(.DSC) files to be available for importing into the 5620 SAM database.
