This chapter is a guide to upgrading an existing StrataView Plus installation to Release 8.2.
When upgrading StrataView Plus from StrataView Plus Rel. 8.1, it is only necessary to install the new release of the StrataView Plus program. There should be no need to modify the already resident versions of Motif, Informix, and Wingz. During the initial part of the installation you may choose to save the data from the old database.
The settings from config.sv are not saved. If you want to save these, you must save the file in another directory (that is, do a mkdir /usr/users/svplus/save) then save config.sv back to /usr/users/svplus after the automatic installation. You may just want to make a note of the setup, as this is a short file, with one line for each network or domain.
The SPI script checks that the second disk is partitioned correctly for StrataView Plus, that the correct user accounts are present, and that Motif, Informix, and WingZ are configured correctly for StrataView Plus 8.2. It then proceeds to install StrataView Plus 8.2. At the completion of the SPI installation, it is only necessary to perform the On-Line Help upgrade, configure the workstation to BPX/ IPX interface, and start up StrataView Plus.
Proceed as follows to upgrade StrataView Plus using the SPI.

The INSTALL program checks that the second disk is partitioned correctly for StrataView Plus, that the correct user accounts are present, and that Motif, Informix, NetView, and WingZ are configured correctly for StrataView Plus 8.2. It then proceeds to install StrataView Plus 8.2. At the completion of the INSTALL script, it is only necessary to perform the On-Line Help upgrade, configure the workstation to the BPX/ IPX interface, and start up StrataView Plus.
The StrataView Plus INSTALL program performs the following functions:
All of the procedures in Upgrading StrataView Plus must be completed before running the INSTALL program. Additionally, NetView must already be installed on your workstation. For instructions on installing NetView, refer to the NetView for AIX User's Guide.

StrataView Plus uses FrameViewer to display the IPX/BPX Online Help files. The INSTALL script adds FrameViewer to your system.
Welcome to the On-Line Help INSTALLATION of StrataView Plus Checking for the existence of On-Line Help... Installing Frameviewer... Reconfiguring user setup files...

When you are asked a yes or no question below, type the letter 'y' or 'n' and then press Return. Note that the default answer (shown in brackets next to the question) is usually correct. To use the default answer, press Return in response to the question. Would you like a description of what this script does? [y]:y <RETURN>Checking installation...

If any files were changed by this script there will a corresponding .fmsave file produced that contains the original version of the file. To be sure that this script changed things appropiately, you should diff the files. IMPORTANT: Don't forget to log out completely now so that the changes to your login file will take effect.
Licensing Frameviewer.. Frameviewer has already been licensed ..
Do you wish to verify the Frameviewer installation (y/n)? n<RETURN>
Normally, "n" is chosen, as verification of FrameViewer takes considerable time, and successful installation of FrameViewer is verified by the satisfactory operation of the IPX/BPX On-Line Help.
The following message is displayed:
Bypassing On-Line Help Installation Verification INSTALLATION has completed !
The BPX/IPX On-Line Help files for StrataView Plus come on a separate tape that is installed after StrataView Plus has been installed.
Make sure you have the tape labelled StrataView Plus BPX/IPX Help Files.
Proceed as follows to install the IPX On-Line Help files:
pwd <RETURN>
2 <RETURN>
cd onlinehelp <RETURN>
pwd <RETURN>
tar xvpf /dev/rst0 <RETURN>
For a Sun workstation; the "0" in /dev/rst0 is a zero.
cd .. <RETURN>
The Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) files for StrataView Plus are installed by SPI after StrataView Plus has been installed. If there are multiple NMS workstations used to control the network or if this is a structured network, you must install StrataView Plus and SCM on each NMS workstation. Proceed as follows to configure the network for management by SCM:
192.187.207.1 alpha
exit
Proceed to the next section.
If you are performing an upgrade, and your original config.sv file was configured for a LAN connection to a BPX/IPX node, you will need to use the vi command to edit the config.sv to your prior configuration or, if you saved the original file, you can proceed as follows to restore the saved file:
pwd
cp save/config.sv .
The "." is a shortcut notation for the current directory and must be included.
If the System Administrator takes care of the addressing for the workstation, including the /etc/services file, proceed to step 3. If not, and an NIS is not being used, do the following:
192.187.207.200 hedgehog
192.187.210.30 sanfran
IPX_PORT 5120/tcp ipx_port
0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|7|3|0|30|1024|8.2|IP-OFF|
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
The cnflan command configures the node's communication parameters so that the node can communicate with a StrataView Plus terminal over an Ethernet LAN using the TCP/IP protocol. The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect the StrataView Plus station to an IPX or BPX node. The values used must conform to those of the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
The cnflan command has the following parameters:

When StrataView Plus is started, it obtains the current network topology information and enables default trunkand circuit line statistics that you had set up for your previous version of StrataView Plus software.
Before starting up StrataView Plus, you need to plan the statistics types that you want to enable automatically and enable these using the SCM program. Refer to Chapter 5 of the StrataView Plus Operations Guide for information on enabling statistics using SCM.
Start up StrataView Plus as follows:
