Bridge Domain Support for GSR 12406 (VPLS)

All VPLS features, with the exception of the new features since ISC 5.2, are explained in detail in the Cisco IP Solution Center L2VPN and Carrier Ethernet User Guide, 6.0 or in Release Notes for Cisco IP Solution Center, 5.2.1.

The role of NPE is now supported in ISC for GSR 12406 running IOS 12.0(32) SY6.

This support is provided only for traditional VPLS ERMS (Ethernet Relay Multipoint Service) and EMS (Element Management Systems) services.

Graphical User Interface Support

A new Bridge Domain ID attribute is presented on the Link Attributes window of the service request.

This Bridge Domain ID attribute is displayed for GSR platforms running IOS only. It is not supported for other platforms. The attribute is filtered in the GUI for non-GSR platforms.

When a NPE (GSR platform) is used as a UNI device, standard UNI attributes are filtered and those will not be displayed on the GUI window.

When a UPE (non-GSR platform) is used as a UNI device, all standard UNI attributes will be displayed on the GUI window.

For EMS services, an UPE (non-GSR platform) must be used to create the service request with the GSR platform running IOS.

The Link Attributes window in Figure 1-1 shows the supported link attributes for VPLS service requests.

Figure 1-1 Link Attributes for VPLS Service Requests

NBI Support

The Bridge Domain ID attribute is also supported from the NBI.

In the following VPLS service request example, the Bridge Domain ID attribute is highlighted in bold.

•Note Regarding Location of ISC 5.1 and 5.2 Upgrade Tools

Common Installation Steps

Whether you have an ISC 5.2 or an ISC 5.2.1 repository, use the same upgrade procedure independent of whether your repository is a Sybase or an Oracle repository

Note A repository can be upgraded only once. If any issues arise during the upgrade, a new copy of the backed up repository is needed for subsequent upgrade attempts.

Note See the appendix Backup and Restore of ISC Repository and Standby System in the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 5.2 before upgrading your repository.

Use the following steps to upgrade your repository to 5.2.2:

Step 1 If you are installing ISC for the first time, first install ISC 5.2 as documented in the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 5.2.

Note The ISC-5.2 upgrade tool should not run while upgrading from ISC 5.2.1 to ISC 5.2.2.

Note During installation, choose Keep existing ISC repository and complete the installation.

Note To perform ISC 5.2.2 patch installation, you first have to install the 5.2.1 patch.

Step 2 If an existing ISC installation is running, enter the stopall command using these steps:

cd $ISC_HOME/bin/

source vpnenv.sh

./stopall

Step 3 Install the ISC 5.2.2 patch using the steps outlined in ISC 5.2.2 Patch Installation.

Step 4 Then run the upgrade tool using the steps outlined in Upgrade Repository to ISC 5.2.2.

ISC 5.2.2 Patch Installation

To install the ISC 5.2.2 maintenance patch, follow these steps:

Note Prior to installing ISC 5.2.2, if you are moving a repository from one machine to another, the schema upgrade fails unless the repository has been initialized on the new machine. This requires that you successfully run initdb.sh on the repository to update the host entry.

Step 1 Before upgrading to this ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release, complete the discovery workflow. Otherwise, when you upgrade these previously initiated discovery workflows, the data discovered during that process might be lost.

Step 2 Before proceeding to install the ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release, be sure to back up your repository, as explained in Appendix C of the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 5.2 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/5.2/installation/guide/install.html).

Step 3 Retrieve the ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release (isc-5.2.2-patch.tar.gz) from here.

Note If you have difficulties accessing the software from this location, please go to Cisco.com and choose Support->Download Software->Network Management->Routing and Switching Management->Cisco IP Solution Center Products.

Step 4 Prior to installing the ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release, verify that you have 100 MB of free space in the $ISC_HOME directory and that you are logged in with the same username as the owner of your supported version of ISC.

Step 5 Source the ISC environment file in the $ISC_HOME/bin directory:

For sh, ksh, and variant shells: . $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.sh

For csh and variant shells: source $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.csh

Step 6 Navigate to a directory other than $ISC_HOME.

Step 7 Use the following command to untar and unzip the isc-5.2.2-patch.tar.gz file:

gunzip -c isc-5.2.2-patch.tar.gz | tar xf -

Step 8 If ISC is running, use the following command to stop the database, name server, and WatchDog on the machine on which it is running:

$ stopall

Step 9 Use the following command to run the patch installation script:

$ ./iscpatchinstall

a. When you run this script, you are asked to ensure that you have followed the equivalent of Step 8, and as part of the installation, you are asked to confirm the equivalent of Step 4.

b. To accept the default value for a prompt indicated in [ ], for example, [n] or [y], press Enter. To terminate the installer at any time, press Ctrl-C. Specifically, you are asked to enter a new path or press Enter for the default [<ISC_OWNER_HOME_DIR>/isc-5.2.2].

c. At the end of the installation, you receive a message that the patch installation is complete.

Step 10 Navigate to $ISC_HOME/bin.

Step 11 Enter the startwd command to restart ISC.

Upgrade Repository to ISC 5.2.2

This procedure uses the example of upgrading an ISC 5.2 repository to ISC 5.2.2. You can upgrade the ISC repository directly to ISC 5.2.2 from both ISC 5.2 and ISC 5.2.1.

When upgrading your repository from ISC 5.1 or an earlier version, see Note Regarding Location of ISC 5.1 and 5.2 Upgrade Tools and then use the same procedure as the following:

Step 1 Get the upgrade package ISC522_UpgradeTool.tar.gz and place it on the ISC Master machine in a directory where you can access the ISC environment:

cp -p /cdrom/cdrom0/ISC522_UpgradeTool.tar.gz /opt/isc-5.2.2

Step 2 Untar the upgrade tool tar file.

gzip -d < ISC522_UpgradeTool.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Step 3 Source the ISC environment files.

If sh shell: . $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.sh

If csh or ksh shell: source $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.csh

Step 4 Stop ISC:

stopall

Step 5 Run the upgrade script.

cd ISC522_UpgradeTool

./upgradeISCSchema.sh <ISC home>

where: <ISC home> is the full pathname of the ISC home directory.

Step 6 Check for a success or error message.

Note After upgrading between ISC versions, ensure that the cache of the ISC client browser has been cleared or that your browser does not use the cache. This will ensure that the latest ISC images and pages are returned.

Note Regarding Location of ISC 5.1 and 5.2 Upgrade Tools

To upgrade your repository to ISC 5.2.2, you first need to run the ISC 5.1 Upgrade Tool in case of releases prior to ISC 5.1 or the ISC 5.2 Upgrade Tool in case of an ISC 5.1 repository.

The location for the ISC 5.1 and 5.2 upgrade tools have changed compared with the documentation for the previous ISC releases. You now need to access these tools from the respective CD-ROMs (ISC 5.1 Upgrade Tool used as an example):

/cdrom/cdrom0/ISC51_UpgradeTool.tar.gz

Uninstall

To uninstall the ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release that was successfully installed by following the steps in the "Upgrade Paths" section, follow these steps:

Note To retain your repository data, you will need to restore a previous ISC 5.2 backup as the uninstall script below does not roll back the 5.2.2 repository.

Step 1 Log in with the same username as the owner of ISC.

Step 2 If ISC 5.2.2 is running, navigate to the directory $ISC_HOME/patch/isc5.2.2-patch, where all the files replaced by the ISC 5.2.2 Maintenance Release were stored.

Step 3 Source the ISC environment file in the $ISC_HOME/bin directory:

For sh, ksh, and variant shells: . $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.sh

For csh and variant shells: source $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.csh

Step 4 Use the following command to stop the database, name server, and WatchDog on the machine on which it is running:

$ stopall

Step 5 Use the following command to run the patch script to uninstall:

$ ./iscpatchrollback

a. When you run this script, you are asked to ensure that you have followed the equivalent of Step 1 and Step 2.

b. To accept the default value for a prompt indicated in [ ], for example, [n] or [y], press Enter. To terminate the installer at any time, press Ctrl-C.

c. At the end of the uninstall, you receive a message that the patch rollback is complete.

Step 6 Navigate to $ISC_HOME/bin.

Step 7 Enter the startwd command to restart ISC.

Important Notes

1. All ISC patches are available at: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/isc.

2. If an Oracle database is being used, it must be installed on a Solaris machine as Sybase by default will be bundled with the ISC installation.

3. The supported Sybase and Oracle databases behave differently. All GUI queries are case-insensitive for Sybase and case-sensitive for Oracle.

4. ISC does not work with pop-up blockers in a web browser. If you have pop-up blockers installed, disable them.

5. When using an external Oracle database, the embedded Sybase database is still automatically launched for SLA support.

6. For all APIs, the service request name is unique and therefore, each create service request API call needs to maintain this uniqueness.
