4.1.2 DSR ISO Administration

This section provides the steps to upload the new DSR ISO to the NOAMs and then transfer the ISO to all the servers to be upgraded.

Note:

ISO transfers to the target systems may require a significant amount of time depending on the number of systems and the speed of the network. These factors may significantly affect total time needed and require the scheduling of multiple maintenance windows to complete the entire upgrade procedure. The ISO transfers to the target systems should be performed before, and outside of, the scheduled maintenance window. Schedule the required maintenance windows accordingly before proceeding.

1. Transfer through NOAM GUI using Active NOAM VIP
   Use the NOAM GUI upload function for ISO file transfer over the network. To upload the target release ISO image file to the File Management Area of the active NOAM server:
   1. Log into the active NOAM GUI
   2. Navigate to Status & Manage, then Files.
   3. Click the active NOAM server in the network to display all files stored in the file management storage area of this server.
   4. Ensure that this is actually the active NOAM server in the network by comparing the host name in the screen title vs. the host name in the session banner in the GUI. Verify they are the same and the status is Active in the session banner.
   5. Click Upload.
2. Upload active NOAM VIP
   1. Click Browse to select the file to upload.
   2. Select the target release ISO image file and click Open.
   3. Click Upload.
3. Change Permission of ISO using active NOAM CLI. Log in to the Active NOAM CLI and execute the following command:

   sudo chmod 644 /var/TKLC/db/filemgmt/<DSR_ISO_Filename>

4. Deploy ISO to All the Servers to be Upgraded using NOAM GUI using active NOAM VIP.
   1. Navigate to Status & Manage, then Files.
   2. Click the active NOAM server tab. All files stored in the file management storage area of this server display on the screen.
   3. Select the target release ISO, and click View ISO Deployment Report.
   4. In the resulting report, determine if the ISO has been deployed to all servers in the system.
   5. If the ISO has been deployed to all servers, this procedure is complete. Proceed to the next procedure per Table 4-1.
   6. If the ISO has not been deployed, select the target release DSR ISO in the file list, and click Validate ISO. Click OK on the confirmation screen.
   7. Verify the ISO status is valid. If the ISO is not valid, repeat this procedure beginning with step 1. If the ISO fails validation more than once, contact My Oracle Support.
   8. If the ISO is valid, select the ISO and click Deploy ISO. Click OK on the confirmation screen.
5. Monitor ISO Deployment using active NOAM VIP
   1. Navigate to Status & Manage, select Files, and click Tasks to view the ISO deployment progress.
   2. Select the target release ISO, and click View ISO Deployment Report. Verify the ISO has been deployed to all the servers in the system.
