1 General Information

1.1 Introduction
Software Manager can be implemented for the communication systems HiPath 2000, HiPath
3000 and HiPath 5000. It allows you to perform the following tasks:
● Display system software versions
● Update system software
● Create system software backups

With the Software Manager you can quickly and efficiently analyze all the main HiPath compo-
nents with a Web browser. In addition, you can determine which components are assigned to
which individual HiPath nodes.
And you can invoke additional serviceability web services such as the Inventory Manager from
the portal page. With Inventory Manager, you can quickly obtain a complete overview of all in-
tegrated components and installed applications in the HiPath network.

2 Getting to Know the Software Manager


In this chapter you will learn how to log onto and off from the Software Manager and become
familiar with the Software Manager interface.

2.1 The portal


After installation, the Common Web Service stores a desktop icon for starting the portal page
on the server. The link to the portal page has the following general structure:
<protocol>://{<host name>|<IP address>}:<port number>
For example:
http://pdbh834a:8280" or "https://pdbh834a:8443"

From this page you can access the following serviceability web services for the HiPath network:
● Inventory Manager
With the Inventory Manager, you can quickly obtain a complete overview of all integrated
components and installed applications in the HiPath network.
● Software Manager

The portal page can also be reached from the programs listed there. Use the Portal icon in the
toolbar to do this.

The visibility of additional serviceability web services on the portal page depends on
> whether they have been registered with the portal.

2.2 Login
The Software Manager runs automatically once the server has been started up and remains
active in the background. As soon as the Software Manager is accessed with the browser, the
Login dialog appears.
The ideal Software Manager display can be achieved by setting the screen resolution to
1024x768 pixels or higher.

Login

2.2.1 Logging on
The link to the Software Manager can be called up via the portal page.

If the connection has been established via HTTP (port 8280), you can establish a
> connection via the HTTPS protocol (port 8443) by using the
Authentication via SSL link. Unlike HTTP, all data transferred is now encrypted.
If there are problems with the HTTPS connection, use HTTP access instead. For se-
curity reasons, however, the HTTPS connection should be the preferred connection
to the server.
Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled in your browser settings for the pages to
display correctly.
If a proxy server is being used and you need to bypass it, see section A.2, “Bypass-
ing the Proxy Server”.

You can log into the system by entering the username and password which have been assigned
to your HiPath system. This data entered is then verified via the DB Feature Server.
1. Enter your username and password in the respective fields. The password entered is hid-
den by asterisks.

User names and passwords are centrally administered for the entire system by
> HiPath Manager E. With the help of this program, you can change usernames
and passwords.
For more information on the assignment of usernames and passwords, please
refer to the HiPath Manager E documentation.

> is automatically disconnected. If you want to perform further actions with the Soft-
ware Manager, you must log in again.

Once you have successfully logged in, you will see a message showing when the system infor-
mation was last updated. Press OK to confirm it.

If error messages are displayed on the screen after successfully logging in, for ex-
> ample, “There are defective backups. Please check the status of the last backup”,
follow the instructions in the error message.

2.2.2 Logging off


To end the Software Manager, select Log off in the navigation area and click the Log off now
button.
If you wish to continue working with the Software Manager, you must log in again (see section

Each HTML page basically consists of five areas:


● Navigation area
● Work area
● Action menu
● Toolbar
● Status bar

If the work area and action menu cannot be fully displayed due to the size of the
> browser window, horizontal or vertical scroll bars appear at the edges and you can
use them to scroll the section displayed.

2.3.1 Navigation area


The navigation area contains the various Software Manager menu items. If you click a menu
item, the corresponding page appears in the work area. If a menu item contains submenus, a
small plus icon is displayed in front of the menu item. When you click on the plus icon, the sub-
menus are displayed and the plus icon is replaced by a minus icon. Click one of the submenu
items to display the relevant page in the work area. Click the minus icon to hide the submenus
again.
The menu items are dynamic. This means that the number of menu items displayed may
change depending on the scenario.

3 Requesting System Information


The Inventory Manager provides the Software Manager with the number of systems and the
system information to be included. As soon as the browser is used to access the Software Man-
ager, an information window containing the date and time of the last system request appears
on the Inventory Manager after login (see section 2.2, “Login”). This request is made automat-
ically every 24 hours. You can also trigger the request manually (see section 3.1, “Updating sys-
tem information”).

If changes have been made to the HiPath network or its components before the Soft-
> ware Manager is activated, we recommend that you manually trigger a system infor-
mation request as automatic updates are performed every 24 hours.

3.1 Updating system information


1. Click Update system information.
The date and time of the last update are displayed.
2. Click Update data.
This starts the system information update. As soon as the update is complete, the date and
time of the last update are displayed in the status bar.
Depending on the size of the whole system, the update may take a few minutes.
Always wait until the update is complete before performing other actions. This ensures that your
actions are always performed with the most up-to-date data.

If a node cannot be accessed via SNMP, the Inventory Server cannot properly detect
7 the embedded boards of this node.

4.2 Upgrading components


1. Select one of the overviews.
2. Select the components either individually in the Select column or select all itemized com-
ponents with the Select all checkbox in the action menu.

All components of a node are always selected by default. Simply uncheck the
> corresponding checkbox for components you do not want to update. The
switchover time is automatically reset for deactivated components.
If there are different software versions available, they are displayed in a drop-down list and
can be selected as required.
Before you can select these software versions, you must first save them on the TFTP serv-
er of your HiPath system (see section 6.3, “Upgrade settings”).
3. Where possible, select the desired software for the respective components. The newest
software version is usually displayed first in the drop-down list.

The software is upgraded in two steps.


In the first step, the new software version is loaded to a system memory known as the "shadow
memory" while the current software is still running in the actual process.
The software is uploaded in the background, independently of the system status.
In the second step, the system must be switched over in order to activate the new software.
First, the current software is replaced by the new software in the shadow memory. The system
is then automatically reset and the new software is started up.

4. From the drop-down list, select one of the menu items described below.

Drop-down List Meaning


Only load software The selected software version is uploaded to the shadow
memory.
Load software and switch over The selected software version is uploaded to the shadow
immediately memory, and as soon as the upload is complete the sys-
tem becomes active with the new software.
Load software and switch over The selected software version is uploaded to the shadow
later memory and the system is switched over at a preset time.
An input field appears in which you can set the date and
time of the switchover. When the input field first appears,
it displays the current date and time.
Enter the desired date and time for the switchover in the
input field and confirm the entries with the "Set switcho-
ver time" button.

– The specified switchover time will be set for all
selected HG 1500 components.
– The specified switchover time + 10 minutes will
be set for the HiPath 3000 ComScendo Service.
– For all other HG 1500 components that belong to
the node but were not selected, the switchover
time will be reset.
● If you selected a HiPath 3000 ComScendo service
without its associated HG 1500 components:
– The specified switchover time will be set for the
HiPath 3000 ComScendo service.
– For all other HG 1500 components that belong to
the node, the switchover time will be reset.
Deactivate switchover time Deactivates the switchover time that you can set under
Set switchover time.
Delete shadow Immediately deletes the content of the shadow memory
(only possible with HiPath 3000 ComScendo).

Software Manager checks the status of the shadow memory before every up-
> grade. If the shadow memory is not empty, it is deleted and Software Manager
continues the upgrade.
5. Click the OK button. The selected action is carried out.

Software Manager Environment

A Appendix

A.1 Software Manager Environment


● From the Software Manager point of view, the environment comprises
● a TFTP server
● a PC for storing the central backup files
● other HiPath components (for example, HG 1500, ComScendo Services)
● your own PC.
In addition to the Software Manager, the DB Feature Server, MSDE, the FM Reporting Client,
the Common Web Service and the Inventory Manager must always be running on your PC.

TFTP server
The APS files for upgrade functionality are stored on the TFTP server. From here, system com-
ponents can upgrade independently via TFTP. The IP address of this server must be known,
as it is requested during Software Manager setup. Depending on the system configuration, the
TFTP server can be installed on the same PC as Software Manager.

PC for central backup files


In addition to the local drive, backup files can be stored on a separate PC in the network. A
Windows file share must be set up so that the Software Manager can access this drive. Enter
the path for this share in the Software Manager backup settings.
Example: A share called "public" has been created on the PC "pdbh809a". The backup files on
this PC should be saved in a subfolder named "backupfiles". The backup path should be:
\\pdbh809a\public\backupfiles.
The Software Manager has been implemented as a Windows service so that it can start without
a user logon. Normal Windows services run under a user account known as "LocalSystemAc-
count". On the local PC, this user is a type of administrator with all the necessary rights. How-
ever, because this user does not have to be authenticated on the system, he/she has no net-
work rights.

Software Manager Environment

As a result, a user with the following authorization rights must be configured for creating file
backups on the network drive:
● Full access rights to the central backup directory, in other words a network share
● Password aging should not be activated in this account, as additional administrative work
would be required to run the service again after the password has expired
● The user should be a domain user who is known network-wide

This user must be entered in the Software Manager backup settings together with the relevant
password.

Other HiPath components


The authorization rights for the Software Manager PC must not be deactivated for HG 1500
boards, HiPath 5000 LAN Device Handlers or HiPath 2000 ComScendo Services. If these
rights are deactivated, the Software Manager will not be able to access the boards (WBM via
"Explorer->Security").
Please also ensure that the share directories of all default components have Read permission
set for the account on which the Software Manager is running (as with the central backup file
directory). This expansion is required if, for example, a HiPath 5000 is available.
