This chapter is a guide to upgrading an existing StrataView Plus installation to Release 9.0.
When upgrading StrataView Plus from StrataView Plus Release 8.4, 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 StrataView Plus Installer 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 9.0. It then proceeds to install StrataView Plus 9.0. At the completion of the installation, it is only necessary to perform the On-Line Help upgrade, configure the workstation to BPX/ IPX interface, and start up StrataView Plus.
The type of upgrade you select is determined by the operating system and version of StrataView Plus you are planning to upgrade. The two approaches are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Perform the procedure for a StrataView Plus upgrade, by typing the commands as shown in the following example.
Step 1 Log in as root by typing the following:
Step 2 Type the following command to change to root directory:
By default, StrataView Plus is installed in the /var/tmp directory.
Step 3 Insert the StrataView Plus Release 9.0 CD into the drive.
As shown in the example, the installation procedure lets you select New or Upgrade as the type of installation you want.

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:
Step 1 Change directory to /etc.
If your workstation is not running NIS, edit the /etc/hosts file of the local StrataView Plus workstation. Make a list with a single line with the nodename and IP address for each node in the network to which this SCM is to connect to.
Step 2 For example, to add an IPX node named alpha enter:
Step 3 If you have a workstation that is running NIS, do step 2 on the NIS server instead of the local StrataView Plus machine, and remake the NIS maps.
Step 4 Enter the following command to change back to the svplus directory:
exit
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:
config.sv file is a single line with a serial port selection of gateway and a baud rate of 9600.
Step 1 Log in to svplus.
Step 2 Enter the following command to verify that you are at the /usr/users/svplus directory:
pwd
Step 3 Enter the following command to copy config.sv back to the svplus home directory:
cp save/config.sv
The "." is a shortcut notation for the current directory and must be included.
Step 1 Obtain IP addresses for your workstation and for the BPX/IPX node you are going to configure.
Normally, the System Administrator will update the NIS database, as applicable (if an NIS is used), and will add the IP addresses for the workstation and node to the NIS database.
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:
Step 2 Edit the /etc/hosts file in your workstation, and add the following lines if they do not already appear there.
192.187.207.200 hedgehog
192.187.210.30 sanfran
The addresses shown are just examples. Use the addresses obtained from your System Administrator. (This example is for a workstation named hedgehog at address 192.187.207.200. It also assumes that the BPR/IPX node LAN port for node sanfran has been assigned an IP address of 192.187.210.30 and a hostname of sanfran. Your own host name and addresses will be different.)
Step 3 Edit the /etc/services file in your workstation and add the following:
IPX_PORT 5120/tcp ipx_port
Step 4 Reboot the workstation so that the changes to the /etc/services file to take effect.
Step 5 Modify the config.sv file for the network configuration by changing the third field to the node's LAN port hostname, for example, sanfran as follows:
0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|6|3|0|30|256|9.0|ip_off|
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
Step 6 Configure the LAN port on the BPX/IPX node using a dumb terminal or an RS-232 connection via the workstation (using the vt command, as applicable) to enter the appropriate cnflan parameters.
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:
/etc/service file on the workstation. It is 5120 for all BPX/IPX nodes.
cnflan screen is shown in Figure 3-1. The active IP address for the workstation has been entered as the IP address selected previously for the node, 192.187.207.30. The IP Subnet mask is entered as 255.255.255.0 for a Class C LAN network. The TCP service port is entered as 5120. Since the workstation and node are on different networks in this example, a gateway address of 192.187.207.1, which must be obtained from your System Administrator, has been entered. If the workstation and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed. The Maximum LAN Transmit Unit and Ethernet Address parameters are not configurable by the cnflan command. The "Ethernet Address" is different for every BPX/IPX control port.
Step 7 Verify that the IPX node contains an SCC-B backcard and an NPC card (required for LAN connection to IPX).
If the node is an IPX 8 or 16 single shelf unit, verify that the utility bus has been upgraded to a UBS-2, model 550058. Refer to the Cisco IPX Reference Manual for further information on upgrading these components.
D2.cb1 LAN StrataCom IPX 32 9.0 MAY 27 1997 14:23 PST Active IP Address: 192.187.207.21 IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 TCP Service Port: 5120 Default Gateway IP Address: 192.187.207.1 Maximum LAN Transmit Unit: 1500 Ethernet Address: 00.55.43.00.04.55 Control Socket - Ready Base Socket Descriptor - 1 Socket Closed Last Command: cnflan Next Command:
Step 8 Set all eight switches on the switch module on the NPC to ON (switches toggled toward the edge of the card). The OFF setting is for a serial connection.
Step 9 Connect the StrataView Plus workstation and the BPX/IPX node to a LAN network.
Examples are shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. The LAN port on the BPX/IPX node provides a DB-15 connector for an AUI.
To test that a LAN connection to the IPX/BPX port is okay.
Step 10 For example, enter the hostname sanfran in the config.sv file as shown in the following:
ping sanfran
Once the workstation and BPX/IPX node interface has been set up, StrataView Plus can be started. Figure 3-4 shows the dsplan screen after StrataView Plus has been started and the communication sockets are active.
D2.cb1 LAN StrataCom IPX 32 9.0 MAY 27 1997 14:27 PST Active IP Address: 192.187.210.155 IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 TCP Service Port: 5120 Default Gateway IP Address: 192.187.210.30 Maximum LAN Transmit Unit: 1500 Ethernet Address: 00.55.43.00.04.55 Control Socket - Ready Base Socket Descriptor - 1 Open Socket Descriptor - 2 Last Command: dsplan
When StrataView Plus is started, it obtains the current network topology information and enables default trunk and 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 Cisco StrataView Plus Operations Guide for information on enabling statistics using SCM.
Start up StrataView Plus as follows:
Step 1 Enter the following command to display the SV+ main menu:
SV+
Step 2 Select option 1 (Start Core) to start StrataView Plus.
