Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Third-Party VNE Device Package Installation Guide


Revised: February 29, 2012

Overview

This guide provides information for installing and uninstalling the Cisco Active Network Abstraction (Cisco ANA) 3.7.2 Third-Party VNE Device Package (DP) 8.0. It contains the following sections:

Obtaining Cisco ANA Third-Party VNE Drivers

Uninstalling the Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Third-Party Device Package 8.0 (Rollback)

Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request

Obtaining Cisco ANA Third-Party VNE Drivers

To obtain Cisco-ANA-3.7.x-ThirdParty-DP8.0.tar for installation, contact a Cisco representative or download from Cisco ANA Software Download site on Cisco.com

The Independent VNE driver tar file has several Jar files within a jars folder. The Jar files use the following naming conventions:

Vendor-JarType-ANAVersion-VNEJarVersion.jar

JarType can be Commons, Modules or single or multiple device specific files.

For example:

Juniper-Modules-ANA3.7.x-v1.7.jar

Juniper-Junos-ANA3.7.x-v1.8.jar

Installing Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Third-Party Device Package 8.0

Verifying the DP Installation


Installation Prerequisite

Before you begin the installation, ensure that:

Cisco ANA 3.7.2 is installed from Cisco.com and then download and install Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Point Patch 02 (or latest revision). To obtain the patch, contact Cisco Professional Services. This patch cannot be downloaded from Cisco.com.

Download the tar file from the Cisco ANA Software Download site on Cisco.com. Log into Cisco.com and navigate to Cisco ANA Network Abstraction 3.7 > ANA VNE Drivers for Non Cisco Devices.

You uncheck the critical flag from the Cisco ANA gateway resource in the VERITAS Cluster Manager Application, if the HA/DR solution is in place.

Copying the DP File to a Central Location

To copy the DP file to a central location:


Step 1 Log into the Cisco ANA gateway server as root user and enter the following command to create a new directory outside of the Cisco ANA home directory and grant user privileges.

% mkdir /ThirdPartyVNEDrivers

% chmod 777 /ThirdPartyVNEDrivers

Step 2 Grant the directory anauser permissions. (anauser is the UNIX account for the Cisco ANA application.) In this example, anauser is ana372.

% chown ana372:ana /ThirdPartyVNEDrivers

Step 3 Using ftp, copy the DP 8.0 file (Cisco-ANA-3.7.x-ThirdParty-DP8.0.tar) into the newly-created directory. In this example, the DP 8.0 file would exist in the following location:

/ThirdPartyVNEDrivers/Cisco-ANA-3.7.x-ThirdParty-DP8.0.tar


Using the ivne Script

This section provides some general information on the ivne script, which is used to install independent device driver files. We recommend that you use the option that is documented in the installation and rollback steps provided in this document; the other options are described here for your information. For more information on the ivne script, see the Cisco Active Network Abstraction 3.7.2 Administrator Guide.

#
Option
Description
Use this when...

1

Install independent VNE drivers from a web repository.

Installs drivers from a remote host such as a web server that is providing central support to multiple Cisco ANA gateway servers.

You want to install only individual jars files.

The jar files you will install do NOT contain support for a previously-unsupported NE.

2

Install independent VNE drivers from a local folder.

You want to install only individual jars files.

The jar files you will install do NOT contain support for a previously-unsupported NE.

3

Install independent VNE device package.

Installs drivers from a local folder on the gateway server, along with any files required for licensing.

Note This choice is listed above only if you have installed Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Point Patch 02 (or latest revision) (see Installation Prerequisite)

Note We recommend that you use this option.

You want to install the entire Device Package or individual jar files.

4

Rollback to a previous independent VNE driver installation.

Restores all drivers to a previously backed up driver configuration. (You cannot roll back individual driver files.)

You want to roll back your configuration to a previously saved backup.

Note Cisco and third-party VNE driver files will be listed here. Cisco driver files have a Cisco-prefix in the filename.


Step 5 Verify that the correct drivers are listed.


Uninstalling the Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Third-Party Device Package 8.0 (Rollback)

The rollback procedure restores the driver configuration files to a previously backed-up version. You will need to provide the full pathname of the backup folder. The rollback script will list the available backups from which you can choose. The rollback procedure consists of two main steps: performing the rollback and verifying that the drivers were removed.


Step 1 Log into the Cisco ANA gateway server as anauser.

Step 2 If your system includes units along with the gateway server, perform the following steps before doing the rollback:

a. On the unit, delete all of the jar files from $ANAHOME/Main/drivers.

b. Restart the unit by running anactl restart.


Note You do not have to perform the above step if you have installed Cisco ANA point patch 3.7.2.0.4 and later revision. For more information, see CSCto08456 in the DP 4.0 Readme file.


Step 3 On the gateway server, go to the $ANAHOME/Main/drivers directory. (In this procedure, $ANAHOME is /export/home/ana372.)

% cd $ANAHOME/Main/drivers

Step 4 Start the installation script:

% ivne

----------------------------------------------------------------

Cisco ANA Independent VNE Driver Installer

----------------------------------------------------------------

1 Install independent VNE drivers from a web repository.

2 Install independent VNE drivers from a local folder.

3 Install independent VNE device package.

4 Rollback to a previous independent VNE driver installation.

5 List the existing drivers and their versions.

q Quit.


Note All of the choices are listed above only if you have installed Cisco ANA 3.7.2 Point Patch 02 (or latest revision) (see Installation Prerequisite).


Step 5 Choose option 4 (Roll back to a previous independent VNE driver installation) and press Enter at the prompt. The installation script creates a log and prompts you for the full pathname of the folder that contains the backup file with the desired rollback configuration.

Writing log to /export/home/ana372/Main/drivers/ivne-install-log-011111-181726

- Writing log to /export/home/ana372/Main/logs/drivers_rollback-1294750050.log.

Please enter the backup folder: /ThirdPartyVNEDrivers


Note If you are using a Service Patch, a confirmation message is displayed stating that you need to restart the ANA server after rollback.


Step 6 To list all backup files that exist in that folder, enter y at the prompt:

Would you like to view a list of the available files? (y/n) [default n] y

ANA_Drivers_Backup_010711-201901.tar.gz

ANA_Drivers_Backup_020711-180201.tar.gz

Step 7 Enter (copy and paste) the filename you want to use for the restore operation:

Please enter the backup file name: ANA_Drivers_Backup_010711-201901.tar.gz

- Removing contents of /export/home/ana372/Main/drivers. [OK]

- Extracting backup archive under /export/home/ana372/Main/drivers. [OK]

Updating units... Done.

Rollback completed successfully.

Step 8 Restart the Cisco ANA gateway server to apply your changes.

% anactl restart

Step 9 Log into the gateway server as anauser and start the installation script:
