Introduction
ISC 6.0.1 has new functionality added and changed since ISC 6.0 (see the "New and Changed Information for ISC 6.0.1" section) and fixes to problems (see the "Problems Fixed in ISC 6.0.1" section).
The system recommendations for ISC 6.0.1 (see the "System Recommendations" section) are based on those for ISC 6.0. The new devices and platforms supported in addition to those supported in ISC 6.0 are listed in the "New and Changed Information for ISC 6.0.1" section.
Steps for installing ISC 6.0.1 are found in the "Installation Notes" section and other important information is found in the "Known Caveats in Cisco IP Solution Center 6.0.1" section. For problems that were found and might still exist in ISC 6.0.1, see the URL in the "Known Caveats in Cisco IP Solution Center 6.0.1" section.
URLs for base information about ISC 6.0.1 and an overview and suggested reading order of these documents is given in the Cisco IP Solution Center Getting Started and Documentation Guide, 6.0 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/roadmap/docguide.html).
The ISC 6.0.1 documentation set includes ISC 6.0 documents and updated information for ISC 6.0.1 found in this Release Notes for Cisco IP Solution Center, 6.0.1. The entire documentation set is available in the "Related Documentation" section.
System Recommendations
The system recommendations and requirements are listed in Chapter 1, "System Recommendations" of the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 6.0. This chapter also includes the network devices and related software supported with ISC 6.0.
The recommendation is to thoroughly review this list before even planning your installation, to be sure you have all the hardware and software needed for a successful installation.
Additionally, the new devices and platforms supported are explained in the "New Device and Platform Support" section.
New Device and Platform Support
New supported devices and platforms are as follows:
New and Changed Information for ISC 6.0.1
This section lists the new and changed functionality that was added or updated since ISC 6.0 to this ISC 6.0.1 release. The problems fixed are listed in the "Problems Fixed in ISC 6.0.1" section, and the new device and platforms supported are listed in the "New Device and Platform Support" section.
The categories in this section are:
•
Common Infrastructure New Features
•
L2VPN and Carrier Ethernet New Features
Common Infrastructure New Features
All common infrastructure features are explained in the Cisco IP Solution Center Infrastructure Reference, 6.0.
The following infrastructure enhancements were added in ISC 6.0.1:
•
New Template Variables Support in ISC 6.0.1
•
Changed Behavior for Negate Templates and Data Files
New Template Variables Support in ISC 6.0.1
In addition to the previously supported template variables, found in Chapter 6, Service Design, of the Cisco IP Solution Center Infrastructure Reference, 6.0, new attributes introduced in this release are also supported as template variables. Discussion of these are found in sections of this release note covering new features for this release.
Changed Behavior for Negate Templates and Data Files
When a service request is decommissioned, or a link within a service request is removed, or a template association is removed or a template is disabled, if that template has a negate template, the negate template will be applied.
If the negate template has no valid data file, either because there is no data file under the negate template with the same name as that of the main template or there is no data file at all, an error is raised during service request deployment. Previously ISC in such cases raised no errors and acted as if the negate template was not present.
If there is a single data file for the negate template with a name that does not match that of the data file, then deployment will fail with errors and the service request will be moved to the INVALID state. Previously that data file would have been selected, even though its name did not match.
In case of multiple data files, only data files with names that match negate template names are chosen .
L2VPN and Carrier Ethernet New Features
This release includes the following three FlexUNI/EVC features:
•
Encapsulation Commands on ATM Interface
•
Timer and Cell Packing Commands on ATM Interface
•
Default Encapsulation Supported for FlexUNI/EVC Services
Encapsulation Commands on ATM Interface
Support for Transport Mode type VC is added in this release for IOS XR to support encapsulation commands.
The Transport Mode type VC has been added in the Link Attributes window under Service Requests. By selecting VC mode, the VCI, VPI and VCD options are shown along in the encapsulation options. When the encapsulation type is set to non editable in the policy, it will not be displayed in the Service Requests window. Only the encapsulation options supported by the IOS XR device version will be displayed here.

To support protocol and sequencing commands in ISC, two new attributes, Protocol and Sequencing, have been added to the PseudoWire class.
The Protocol attribute has a single option, LDP, and Sequencing has three options BOTH, TRANSMIT and RECEIVE.
The options are displayed in the Create PseudoWireClass window.
When an L2VPN service request (with transport mode type VC) is deployed with a PseudoWireClass selected, the two new commands will be added under the l2vpn group name command.

Support has been added for the Timer and Cell Packing commands for L2VPN service requests when Transport Mode type PORT is selected.
Five new attributes has been added to the Link Attributes page under L2VPN service requests.
Three attributes, Timer1, Timer2, and Timer3 are used to add timer values. The permissible range of values for the three is 50 to 4095.
Two attributes, Maximum no. of cells to be packed and Cell packing timer, have been added for cell-packing.
This is supported only for N-PE as a UNI device.
If you do not select the Show MCPT timers and Show cellpacking options, the Timer and Cell Packing commands will not be deployed as part of the service request.

A new attribute Link Media has been introduced for the FlexUNI/EVC service to support the provision of media type in the UNI interface. This will be supported for all three service types (PW, Local, and VPLS).
This will be supported from both the GUI and the NBI.
Note that this attribute is only supported for the ME-3400-CS platform.
Where two ports correspond to one interface in the configuration and the two ports have different media types (one optical SFP (not sjp) the other copper rj45), it needs to be specified which port type will be used when the interface is configured.
The following values are supported for the media type attribute.
•
None
•
auto-select
•
rj45
•
sjp
None is the default value for the new attribute, though no configlets will be generated for the selection None. Choose this option in case of any routers or switches where there is a 1 to 1 mapping of interfaces to ports and the media type is not selected.
GUI
The new Link Media drop-down field under Speed and Duplex Information has been updated in the following windows:
•
EVC Policy Editor
•
Standard UNI Details
NBI
A new attribute has been added to support the Media Type feature:
NBI Attribute Name: Uni_Media
Values: None, auto-select, rj45, and sjp
Sample Configlet
In the following configlet, the interface is configured with the Media Type value rj45.
!interface FastEthernet1/0/24switchport trunk allowed vlan 1192switchport mode trunkno keepalivemedia-type rj45speed 1000duplex full!Default Encapsulation Supported for FlexUNI/EVC Services
EVC has a provision to configure the default value for the encapsulation type. In the earlier implementation of ISC there was a limitation and the encapsulation type could only be DOT1Q.
To provide the default option for encapsulation type to the Standard UNI Details window, the label has been replaced with a drop-down field with the options DOT1Q and Default. The Default value is a catch-all that represents everything that is not matched by any other service instance on the port.
This applies only when the customer connects directly to the 7600 interface.
GUI and NBI Support
Both GUI and NBI support is provided for this enhancement. No new attribute is added for this command. The existing attribute EncapsulationType supports can still be used with the DEFAULT value.
Sample Configlet
The following configlet configures the Default attribute.
!interface GigabitEthernet7/0/17service instance 845 ethernetencapsulation defaultbridge-domain 556!Outer VLAN Ranges
The following are the changes done to incorporate the range values for Outer VLAN ID. The functionality is provided from both the GUI and the NBI.
Policy
•
A new option, Outer VLAN Ranges, is added as part of the FlexUNI/EVC attributes window (the EVC Policy Editor window).
•
This option is used to specify that the Outer VLAN ID can contain range values. To enable that option, the corresponding check box has to be selected by the user.
•
In the EVC Policy Editor window, the Outer VLAN Ranges option which was enabled by selecting the check box is available.
Service Request
This functionality is also provided from both the GUI and the NBI.
GUI Changes
The Outer VLAN Ranges option has been added in the service requests area to provide range values for Outer VLAN ID.
The Outer VLAN ID can be provided with the range values specified in the FlexUNI(EVC) Details window or it can be provided with normal integer values within the range.
The Match Inner and Outer Tags option will not be disabled here. The value of Match Inner and Outer Tags depends on the Both Tags value from the policy.
NBI Changes
The new NBI attribute added to provide range values for VLAN is OUTER_VLAN_RANGES.
The following values can be provided:
•
true—to enable OUTER_VLAN_RANGES
•
false—to disable OUTER_VLAN_RANGES
Sample Configlets
In the following, the range provided is 2000-2010.

The VRF Label command is now supported for three new Next Hop Option values for IOS XR devices only.
This feature is supported at the MPLS service request level. VRF Label command support is available for the PE_CE and PE_NO_CE "STATIC" routing protocol and can only be configured on a PE device.
GUI
A VRF Label column has been added under MPLS service requests in the Advertised Routes pop-up window (IPv4 and IPv6). As in the columns IP Address/Mask and Metric, the permissible range is specified (for VRF Label, 0-4294967295).

Use 'show configuration commit changes 1000000008' to view the changes.RP/0/0/CPU0:enxr(config)#Access Ring Termination on Two Different N-PEs
Network topologies supported for access ring termination on two different N-PEs are now supported for MPLS just like it is for L2VPN.
See the corresponding section Terminating an Access Ring on Two N-PEs in the Cisco IP Solution Center L2VPN and Carrier Ethernet User Guide, 6.0.
Usage Notes
•
The service is configured on both N-PEs of the access ring in the PE_NO_PE case. However, in the PE_CE case, the service request is configured on the primary N-PE of the access ring.
•
Though there are two different N-PEs, only one access link is consumed.
•
You can modify the configuration-redundant N-PEs before or after deploying the service request. Modified configlets will be generated according to the changes made in the service request.
•
The destined N-PE device on the NPC used in the service request is treated as the primary N-PE. The other N-PE on the same ring is treated as the secondary N-PE.
•
To change the primary N-PE, delete and recreate the NPC, provided the NPC is not associated with any service requests.
To change the secondary N-PE, you have to modify the secondary N-PE at the ring level.•
During MPLS service request creation using the PE_NO_CE policy, the secondary NPE device can be configured through the second link. Separate link attributes such as VLAN ID, PE Interface Address/Mask, VPN and RD and others can be configured separately for both primary and secondary NPEs. This way you can manually add a different IP address on primary and secondary NPEs. UNI device information will be available only in the link of the primary NPE.
•
During MPLS service request creation using the PE-CE policy, only one MPLS VPN link would be created even though the selected NPC has two NPEs. Service can be associated only to the primary NPE, no additional link will be provided for the secondary NPE. Configlets will be generated and pushed to all the devices in the ring except the secondary NPE.
•
VPNs and VRF objects are supported for MPLS service requests using access ring termination on two N-PEs.

Installation Notes
This section contains the following information:
Version Supported
You can upgrade directly to ISC 6.0.1 from ISC 6.0, ISC 6.0.0.1, ISC 6.0.0.4, or ISC 6.0.0.5. If you are upgrading from earlier releases, you need to first upgrade to ISC 6.0. The procedure for upgrading from earlier releases is documented in the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 6.0.
Upgrade Paths
Whether you are installing ISC for the first time or are upgrading from an earlier ISC installation, use the following steps as they pertain to your situation.
This section includes the following:
•
Upgrade Repository to ISC 6.0.1
Common Installation Steps
If you have an ISC 6.0 use this 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, 6.0 before upgrading your repository.
To upgrade your repository to 6.0.1, follow these steps:
Step 1
If you are installing ISC for the first time, first install ISC 6.0 as documented in the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 6.0.
Note
The ISC-6.0.1 upgrade tool should not run while upgrading from ISC 6.0 to ISC 6.0.1.
Note
To perform ISC 6.0.1 patch installation, you need ISC 6.0, ISC 6.0.0.1, ISC 6.0.0.4, or
ISC 6.0.0.5 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 6.0.1 patch using the steps outlined in ISC 6.0.1 Patch Installation.
Step 4
Then run the upgrade tool using the steps outlined in Upgrade Repository to ISC 6.0.1.
ISC 6.0.1 Patch Installation
To install the ISC 6.0.1 maintenance patch, follow these steps:
Note
Prior to installing ISC 6.0.1, 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 6.0.1 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 6.0.1 Maintenance Release, be sure to back up your repository, as explained in Appendix C of the Cisco IP Solution Center Installation Guide, 6.0 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ip_solution_center/6.0/installation/guide/installation.html).
Step 3
Retrieve the ISC 6.0.1 Maintenance Release (isc-6.0.1-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 6.0.1 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 and variant shells: . $ISC_HOME/bin/vpnenv.sh
For csh, ksh 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-6.0.1-patch.tar.gz file:
gunzip -c isc-6.0.1-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-6.0.1].
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 6.0.1
This procedure uses the example of upgrading an ISC 6.0 repository to ISC 6.0.1. You can upgrade the ISC repository directly to ISC 6.0.1 from ISC 6.0.
When upgrading your repository from ISC 6.0 or an earlier version, see Uninstall and then use the same procedure as the following:
Step 1
Get the upgrade package ISC601_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/ISC601_UpgradeTool.tar.gz /opt/isc-6.0.1
Step 2
Untar the upgrade tool tar file.
gzip -d < ISC601_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 ISC601_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.
Uninstall
To uninstall the ISC 6.0.1 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 6.0.1 repository.
Step 1
Log in with the same username as the owner of ISC.
Step 2
If ISC 6.0.1 is running, navigate to the directory $ISC_HOME/patch/isc6.0.1-patch, where all the files replaced by the ISC 6.0.1 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.
