Chapter 1
Upgrading from VDS TC 5.0.x to VDS TC 5.2.x for an Integrated Appliance Installation
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
Uploading the Required Files
Follow these steps to upload the files that are needed to perform the upgrade to VDS TC 5.2:
Procedure
Step 1
Using SFTP software, such as WinSCP, connect to the management IP address that was assigned to the
VDS TC server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was provided by Cisco.
Step 2
Copy the VDS TC upgrade image file and the updated VDS TC license file to the /tftpboot folder. These
are the files that you obtained in the Obtaining Required VDS TC Files section. Make sure that the
previous VDS TC software version file is also in the /tftpboot folder in case you need to perform a roll
back.
Note
You must have a valid VDS TC license in the /tftpboot folder before you perform the following steps. If
you do not, the upgrade will fail.
Step 3
Copy the updated kernel load file, the synchronize_cmdb_files.sh.gz file, and the
VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh file that you downloaded from cisco.com to the /tmp folder.
Step 4
After you finish uploading the files to the VDS TC server, check that the MD5 SUM of the source files
is the same as the destination file in the server.
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
Follow these steps to upgrade the VDS TC software from version 5.0.x to version 5.2.x and to update
the license file to a version that supports VDS TC 5.2. To upgrade from VDS TC version 5.1.x to version
5.2.x, see Chapter 2, “Upgrading from VDS TC 5.1.x to VDS TC 5.2.x for an Integrated Appliance
Installation”.
Caution
If you need to roll back to version 5.0.x after you perform the upgrade, you must perform this roll back
within 7 days of the upgrade.
Step 1
On the PBR routers, stop redirecting traffic to the VDS TC solution.
Step 2
Immediately after stopping the traffic redirection to the VDS TC solution, you must stop the VDS TC
caching service. Follow these steps to stop the VDS TC caching service:
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.
b.
Log into the system using the username admin. The default password is the serial number of the
VDS TC Integrated Appliance, which can be found either by accessing the CIMC or by accessing
the Status > Hardware View page from VDS TC Manager. The serial number is displayed in the
Support Tag ID field in VDS TC Manager.
c.
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the command enable. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.

Caution
Do not proceed to the next step until the Device State shows “stopped.” You may need to repeat the show
status command several times before you see this status. Wait several minutes between executions of the
show status command.
Step 3
Close any open VDS TC Manager windows and ensure that no other administrators are connected to the
VDS TC Manager before proceeding.
Step 4
Back up the current cluster_conf.xml file before performing the upgrade, in case you need to perform a
roll back. To backup the exiting cluster_conf.xml file, enter the export tftp_server filename command,
where tftp_server is the IP address or the hostname of the TFTP server to which you want to export the
configuration and filename is the filename to create when exporting the current configuration file. You
should include the version of VDS TC in the filename to help differentiate it from the new cluster_conf
file that will be created during the upgrade process. For example, you could use the filename
cluster_conf_5.0.2b161_bkp.xml.
Update the Kernel
Step 1
From an SSH connection to the VDS TC server, log in as root with the password provided by Cisco and
enter the command cd /tmp.
Step 2

– The TFTP_server parameter is the IP address or the hostname of the TFTP server to which you
want to export the configuration. To export the file to the /tftpboot directory on the VDS TC
platform, enter localhost for this parameter.
– The filename parameter the name of the file to which you want to save the current configuration.
The common filename to use is cluster_conf.xml.
e.
Open the configuration file that you exported in the previous step in a text editor or XML editor, and
add the following text to the configuration file in the <common> section:
<ntp>
<server-ip>ntp-server1-ip</server-ip>
<server-ip>ntp-server2-ip</server-ip>
<timezone>GMT <+/->offset</timezone>
</ntp>
where
– ntp-server1-ip is the IP address or hostname of the first NTP server to use
Note
To use the local server as the NTP server, enter 127.127.1.0 for the IP address.
– ntp-server2-ip is the IP address or hostname of a second NTP server to use, if desired
– offset is the GMT offset (+/-), for the time zone of the VDS TC system.
For example:
<ntp>
<server-ip>1.asia.pool.ntp.org</server-ip>
<server-ip>2.asia.pool.ntp.org</server-ip>
<timezone>GMT+3</timezone>
</ntp>
Note
The GMT offset value only supports a whole number between 0 and 12. All other time zones are NOT
supported.
Note
The time will not automatically adjust for daylight savings time (DST). If you need to adjust the time
for DST, you will need to make this change manually.
Note
When you use the date command from the VDS TC manager operating system, you may see that the
GMT offset appears opposite of what you entered. For example if you entered
<timezone>GMT+8</timezone> in the configuration file, when you enter the date command in the
operating system, you will see “Tue August 1 14:16:35 GMT-8 2014”. The output in the date command
is intentionally reversed for backwards compatibility with POSIX standards.
f.
In Configuration mode on the VDS TC server, enter import TFTP_server filename to import the
new configuration file to VDS TC.
– The TFTP_server parameter is the IP address or hostname of the TFTP server from which you
are importing the configuration file. To import the file from the /tftpboot directory on the VDS
TC platform enter localhost for this parameter.
– The filename parameter is the name of the configuration file that you want to import.

Chapter 3
Upgrading from VDS TC 5.0.x to VDS TC 5.2.x for a Cluster Installation
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
Procedure
Step 1
Using SFTP software, such as WinSCP, connect to the management IP address that was assigned to the
VDS TC management server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco.
Step 2
Copy the VDS TC upgrade image file and the updated VDS TC license file to the /tftpboot folder. These
are the files that you obtained in the Obtaining Required VDS TC Files section. Make sure that the
previous VDS TC software version file is also in the /tftpboot folder in case you need to perform a roll
back.
Note
You must have a valid VDS TC license in the /tftpboot folder before you perform the following steps. If
you do not, the upgrade will fail.
Step 3
Copy the updated kernel load file, the synchronize_cmdb_files.sh.gz file, and the
VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh file that you downloaded from cisco.com to the /tmp folder.
Step 4
After you finish uploading the files to the VDS TC management server, check that the MD5 SUM of the
source files is the same as the destination file in the server.
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
Follow these steps to upgrade the VDS TC software from version 5.0.x to version 5.2.x and to update
the license file to a version that supports VDS TC 5.2. To upgrade from VDS TC version 5.1.x to version
5.2.x, see Chapter 4, “Upgrading from VDS TC 5.1.x to VDS TC 5.2.x for a Cluster Installation”.
Caution
If you need to roll back to version 5.0.x after you perform the upgrade, you must perform this roll back
within 7 days of the upgrade.
Procedure
Step 1
On the PBR routers, stop redirecting traffic to the VDS TC solution.
Step 2
Immediately after stopping the traffic redirection to the VDS TC solution, you must stop the VDS TC
caching service. Follow these steps to stop the VDS TC caching service:
Note
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.
b.
Log into the system using the username admin. The default password is the serial number of the
VDS TC Integrated Appliance, which can be found either by accessing the CIMC or by accessing
the Status > Hardware View page from VDS TC Manager. The serial number is displayed in the
Support Tag ID field in VDS TC Manager.
c.
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the command enable. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.
By default, your system serial number is the password for the Enable mode, but this password may have
been changed.

Chapter 3
Upgrading from VDS TC 5.0.x to VDS TC 5.2.x for a Cluster Installation
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
d.
From the Enable mode prompt, enter the command oper service stop to stop the caching service.
e.
Wait a few minutes and then enter the command show status. Check to see if the Device State shows
“stopped.” For example:
console# show status
Operational state Device state Administrative state
disabled
stopped
unlocked
Caution
Do not proceed to the next step until the Device State shows “stopped.” You may need to repeat the show
status command several times before you see this status. Wait several minutes between executions of the
show status command.
Step 3
Close any open VDS TC Manager windows and ensure that no other administrators are connected to the
VDS TC Manager before proceeding.
Step 4
Back up the current cluster_conf.xml file before performing the upgrade, in case you need to perform a
roll back. To backup the exiting cluster_conf.xml file, enter the export tftp_server filename command,
where tftp_server is the IP address or the hostname of the TFTP server to which you want to export the
configuration and filename is the filename to create when exporting the current configuration file. You
should include the version of VDS TC in the filename to help differentiate it from the new cluster_conf
file that will be created during the upgrade process. For example, you could use the filename
cluster_conf_5.0.2b162_bkp.xml.
Update the Kernel
Step 1
From an SSH connection to the VDS TC management server, enter the command cd /tmp.
Step 2
To copy the updated kernel installation package file to each of the cache engines, enter the command scp
linux-2.6.27.19-5-llpf_10--KERNEL_LOAD_1406831120_rev41398.tar root@ce-#:/tmp, where # is
the number of the cache engine to which you are copying the file. For example:
scp linux-2.6.27.19-5-llpf_10--KERNEL_LOAD_1406831120_rev41398.tar root@ce-1:/tmp
Note
Repeat this step for each cache engine.
Step 3
From the VDS TC management server, enter the command ssh ce-X, where X is the number of the cache
engine to which you want to connect. When prompted, enter the password for the padmin account that

License Activation
If you receive the error message “License activation failed”, repeat Steps 13 through 17. If you still
receive the error message, contact Cisco support.
If you had configured an NTP time server on the VDS TC 5.0.x installation, you will need to reconfigure
the NTP server information. Follow these steps to reconfigure the NTP server information:
a.
Log into the system using the username admin. The default password is the serial number of the
VDS TC Integrated Appliance, which can be found either by accessing the CIMC or by accessing
the Status > Hardware View page from VDS TC Manager. The serial number is displayed in the
Support Tag ID field in VDS TC Manager.
b.
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the command enable. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.
By default, your system serial number is the password for the Enable mode, but this password may have
been changed.
c.
Enter the command config to enter Configuration mode.
d.
To backup the exiting cluster_conf.xml file, enter the command export TFTP_server filename.
– The TFTP_server parameter is the IP address or the hostname of the TFTP server to which you
want to export the configuration. To export the file to the /tftpboot directory on the VDS TC
platform, enter localhost for this parameter.
– The filename parameter the name of the file to which you want to save the current configuration.
The common filename to use is cluster_conf.xml.
e.
Open the configuration file that you exported in the previous step in a text editor or XML editor, and
add the following text to the configuration file in the <common> section:
<ntp>
<server-ip>ntp-server1-ip</server-ip>

<server-ip>ntp-server2-ip</server-ip>
<timezone>GMT <+/->offset</timezone>
</ntp>
where
– ntp-server1-ip is the IP address or hostname of the first NTP server to use
Note
To use the local server as the NTP server, enter 127.127.1.0 for the IP address.
– ntp-server2-ip is the IP address or hostname of a second NTP server to use, if desired
– offset is the GMT offset (+/-), for the time zone of the VDS TC system.
For example:
<ntp>
<server-ip>1.asia.pool.ntp.org</server-ip>
<server-ip>2.asia.pool.ntp.org</server-ip>
<timezone>GMT+3</timezone>
</ntp>
Note
The GMT offset value only supports a whole number between 0 and 12. All other time zones are NOT
supported.
Note
The time will not automatically adjust for daylight savings time (DST). If you need to adjust the time
for DST, you will need to make this change manually.
Note
When you use the date command from the VDS TC manager operating system, you may see that the
GMT offset appears opposite of what you entered. For example if you entered
<timezone>GMT+8</timezone> in the configuration file, when you enter the date command in the
operating system, you will see “Tue August 1 14:16:35 GMT-8 2014”. The output in the date command
is intentionally reversed for backwards compatibility with POSIX standards.
f.
In Configuration mode on the VDS TC server, enter import TFTP_server filename to import the
new configuration file to VDS TC.
– The TFTP_server parameter is the IP address or hostname of the TFTP server from which you
are importing the configuration file. To import the file from the /tftpboot directory on the VDS
TC platform enter localhost for this parameter.
– The filename parameter is the name of the configuration file that you want to import.
g.
Enter apply to apply the configuration.
h.
Enter exit to exit Configuration mode.
Step 20
Enter the command show cluster-bus-ip to determine whether the management server and all cache
engines are configured to use broadcast.
Step 21
Enter the show cluster-bus-ip command. If the management server or any of the cache engines are set
to use multicast instead of broadcast, do the following:
a.
Enter the command config to enter configuration mode. The configuration prompt, configuration#,
will appear.

b.
In configuration mode, enter the command cluster-bus-ip broadcast. For example:
configuration# cluster-bus-ip broadcast
Processing...
All the CEs are configured to work with Broadcast IP.
c.
Enter exit to exit from configuration mode and go back to Enable mode.
d.
Enter the command show cluster-bus-ip to confirm that the management server and all cache
engines are configured to use broadcast. For example:
console# show cluster-bus-ip
Processing...
MG-1: [Broadcast]
CE-1: [Broadcast]
CE-2: [Broadcast]
CE-3: [Broadcast]
CE-4: [Broadcast]
CE-5: [Broadcast]
CE-6: [Broadcast]
CE-7: [Broadcast]
CE-8: [Broadcast]
OK. All the CEs are configured to work with Broadcast IP.
Step 22
Next you will verify that the VDS TC 5.2.0 version and kernel update installed correctly. Follow these
steps to confirm this:
a.
From an SSH connection to the VDS TC server logged in as root, enter the command cd /tmp to
change to the tmp folder.
b.
Enter the command chmod 777 VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh to change permissions on the
file.
c.
Enter the command ./VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh X, where X is the number of cache engines
in the installation. For example, for a VDS-TC-16S installation, enter
./VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh 16.
d.
Verify that the script checks the Kernel, LLPF, and Pang version and returns the message “Success:
All Cache-Engines have the required versions!” and continue to the next step. If you receive the
message “Error: Some of the Cache-Engines have wrong versions!” the upgrade is not finished or
was not successful. Contact your Cisco account system engineer to help resolve the issue.
Step 23
From the Enable mode prompt, enter the command oper service start.
Step 24
Wait a few minutes and then enter the command show status. Do not proceed to the next step until you
see a Device Status of “Started.” For example:
console# show status
Operational state Device state Administrative state
enabled
started
unlocked
Step 25
Use VDS TC Manager to confirm the upgrade and version number. In a web browser, enter the
management IP address of the VDS TC appliance to connect to the VDS TC Manager.
Step 26
Enter a username and password that was provided by Cisco.
Step 27
From the default web page that opens (Dashboard) you can confirm that the software has been upgraded.
The version number of the product appears in the upper-right hand corner of the window, below the
username. Confirm that you see the correct upgraded version. Also you will notice that the web page
layout has changed.
Step 28
On the PBR routers, start redirecting traffic to the VDS TC solution.

Obtaining Required VDS TC Files
To perform an upgrade to VDS TC 5.2, you must obtain the following files:
•
The VDS TC 5.2 upgrade image for cluster installation. Obtain the VDS TC upgrade image from
Cisco. The upgrade image filename for a Cluster upgrade will begin with VDS-TC_GA and will
have “Server_Cluster” in the filename, for example VDS-TC_GA_5.2.0b124_Server_Cluster.tar.gz.
The numbers in the filename represent the version number and build number.
•
Updated kernel load file: Obtain the updated kernel load from Cisco. This file is published on
cisco.com in the same location as the VDS TC upgrade image file and the file name is
linux-2.6.27.19-5-llpf_10--KERNEL_LOAD_1406831120_rev41398.tar.
•
VDS TC 5.2 verification script: Obtain the VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh file from Cisco,
which is published on cisco.com in the same location as the upgrade image and kernel load file.
Uploading the Required Files
Follow these steps to upload the files that are needed to perform the upgrade to VDS TC 5.2:
Procedure
Step 1
Using SFTP software, such as WinSCP, connect to the management IP address that was assigned to the
VDS TC management server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco.
Step 2
Copy the VDS TC upgrade image file to the /tftpboot folder. This is the file that you obtained in the
Obtaining Required VDS TC Files section. Make sure that the previous VDS TC software version file is
also in the /tftpboot folder in case you need to perform a roll back.
Step 3
Copy the updated kernel load file and the VDS-TC_5.2.0_versions_check.sh file to the /tmp folder.
Step 4
After you finish uploading the files to the VDS TC management server, check that the MD5 SUM of the
source files is the same as the destination file in the server.
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade
Follow these steps to upgrade the VDS TC software from version 5.1.x to version 5.2.x. If you are
upgrading from VDS TC version 5.0.x to version 5.2.x, see Chapter 3, “Upgrading from VDS TC 5.0.x
to VDS TC 5.2.x for a Cluster Installation”.
Procedure
Step 1

Downgrading from VDS TC 5.2.x to VDS TC 5.1.x
This chapter describes how to downgrade from VDS TC 5.2.x to VDS TC 5.1.x if necessary. Only use
these steps if you are downgrading to VDS TC 5.1.x. To downgrade a VDS TC 5.2.x installation to VDS
TC 5.0.x, please see Chapter 5, “Downgrading from VDS TC 5.2.x to VDS TC 5.0.x”.
Note
Because you will need to stop traffic redirection to the VDS TC system during the downgrade process,
you should perform the downgrade during a maintenance window.
Rolling Back the VDS TC Software
Follow these steps to roll back the VDS TC software to the version that was installed before you
performed the upgrade.
Step 1
On the PBR routers, stop redirecting traffic to the VDS TC solution.
Step 2
Immediately after stopping the traffic redirection to the VDS TC solution, you must stop the VDS TC
caching service. Follow these steps to stop the VDS TC caching service:
Note
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.
b.
Log into the system using the username admin. The default password is the serial number of the
VDS TC Integrated Appliance, which can be found either by accessing the CIMC or by accessing
the Status > Hardware View page from VDS TC Manager. The serial number is displayed in the
Support Tag ID field in VDS TC Manager.
c.
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the command enable. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.
By default, your system serial number is the password for the Enable mode, but this password may have
been changed.
d.
From the Enable mode prompt, enter the command oper service stop to stop the caching service.
e.
Wait a few minutes and then enter the command show status. Check to see if the Device State shows
“stopped.” For example:
console# show status
Operational state Device state Administrative state

connect. When prompted, enter the password for the padmin account that was provided by Cisco.
b.
Enter the command vi /boot/grub/menu.lst to edit the menu.lst file.
c.
Change the second line to default 3.
d.
Enter :wq to exit the vi editor and save your changes.
e.
After you have saved the changes to the menu.lst file, enter reboot to reboot the cache engine.
f.
After the cache engine reboots, to confirm that the kernel version has been rolled back, enter the
command uname –a and confirm that date Thu Nov 19 11:42:07 GMT 2009 appears in the output,
as shown in the following example:
