Uploading the Required VDS TC 5.7.3 Files
Note
Upgrading from VDS TC 5.2.1 or VDS TC 5.6.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3 for an Integrated Appliance Installation
It may take a couple of days to receive the license from Cisco. Making sure to provide complete, clear,
and accurate information in the license request email will help expedite the process.
Uploading the Required VDS TC 5.7.3 Files
Follow these steps to upload the files that are needed to perform the upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3:
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 the Required VDS TC 5.7.3 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.
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade from VDS TC 5.2.1 or
VDS TC 5.6.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3
Follow these steps to upgrade the VDS TC software from version 5.2.1 or version 5.6.1 to version 5.7.3
and to update the license file to a version that supports VDS TC 5.7.3.
Note
If you need to roll back to version 5.2.1 or version 5.6.1 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.

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_5.2.1b5_bkp.xml.
Step 5
From the VDS TC CLI and enter enable to go to Enable mode.
Step 6
From Enable mode, enter the command upgrade 127.0.0.1 filename, where filename is the name of the
software upgrade image file that you copied to the /tftpboot directory in the Uploading the Required
VDS TC 5.7.3 Files section.
Caution
Step 7
Note
If you are upgrading a VDS TC Cluster system, use the upgrade all 127.0.0.1 filename command.
To upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3, a new license is required. The upgrade process will warn you to only
proceed with the upgrade if you already have a new license file for 5.7.3. This is the license file that you
copied to the /tftpboot directory in the Uploading the Required VDS TC 5.7.3 Files. If you upgrade the
system without this license file, the system will not start.
If you have not uploaded the VDS TC 5.7.3 license as instructed earlier, stop the upgrade process.
Perform the upgrade only after you obtain the VDS TC 5.7.3 license file.
Step 8
When the “Do you want to proceed with the upgrade?” prompt appears, enter Y and when prompted to
confirm, enter Y.
Step 9
The next step in the upgrade process is for the upgrade script to validate the VDS TC 5.7.x license file.
When prompted for the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the license file, enter 127.0.0.1 and
when prompted for the path to the 5.7.3 license file, enter the name of the license file.

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_5.6.1b58_bkp.xml.
Step 5
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the enable command. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,

Uploading the Required Files section.
Step 7
To upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3, a new license is required. The upgrade process will warn you to only
proceed with the upgrade if you already have a new license file for 5.7.3. This is the license file that you
copied to the /tftpboot directory in the Uploading the Required Files section. If you upgrade the system
without this license file, the system will not start.
Note
If you have not uploaded the VDS TC 5.7.3 license as instructed earlier, stop the upgrade process.
Perform the upgrade only after you obtain the VDS TC 5.7.3 license file.
Step 8
When the “Do you want to proceed with the upgrade?” prompt appears, enter Y and when prompted to
confirm, enter Y.
Step 9
The next step in the upgrade process is for the upgrade script to validate the VDS TC 5.7.x license file.
When prompted for the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the license file, enter 127.0.0.1 and
when prompted for the path to the 5.7.3 license file, enter the name of the license file.

Downgrading a C-Series Cluster Installation from
VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1
This chapter describes how to downgrade from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1 if
necessary. Only use these steps if you are downgrading a C-Series cluster installation to VDS TC 5.6.1
or VDS TC 5.2.1. If you need to downgrade an Integrated Appliance to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1,
see Chapter 2, “Downgrading an Integrated Appliance from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC
5.2.1”. If you need to downgrade a Blade server cluster installation, Chapter 8, “Downgrading a Blade
Server Cluster Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1” or Chapter 11, “Downgrading a Blade
Server Cluster Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.2.1”.
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
Note
As part of the roll back process, you must also downgrade any firmware and operating system versions
that you upgraded on the Cisco UCS systems, switches, and storage enclosures. These must be
downgraded to the versions that are specified in the installation guides of the VDS TC version that you
are downgrading to. You will also need to roll back any of the configurations for the Cisco UCS systems
and switches that were updated as part of the upgrade process.
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:
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.

Manually Downgrading a C-Series Cluster
Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 or
VDS TC 5.2.1
This chapter describes how to manually downgrade a C-series cluster installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to
VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1 if necessary. Only use these steps if the VDS-TC Rollback Procedure
from Chapter 5 failed with the error message “Not found suitable backup files, cannot restore version on
this system. Please refer to the manual downgrade procedure or contact support.” and you are
downgrading a C-Series Cluster installation to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1.
Caution
Running the Manual Rollback Procedure will remove all existing cache data storage and the VDS
TC version 5.7.3 CMDB because the storage will be formatted.
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
Note
As part of the roll back process, you must also downgrade any firmware and operating system versions
that you upgraded on the Cisco UCS systems, switches, and storage enclosures. These must be
downgraded to the versions that are specified in the installation guides of the VDS TC version that you
are downgrading to. You will also need to roll back any of the configurations for the Cisco UCS systems
and switches that were updated as part of the upgrade process.
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:
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.

Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade from VDS TC 5.6.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3
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 the Required VDS TC 5.7.3 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.
Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade from VDS TC 5.6.1 to
VDS TC 5.7.3
Follow these steps to upgrade the VDS TC software from version 5.6.1 to version 5.7.3 and to update
the license file to a version that supports VDS TC 5.7.x.
Note
If you need to roll back to version 5.6.1 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:
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

Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade from VDS TC 5.6.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3
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_5.6.1b57_bkp.xml.
Step 5
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the enable command. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.
Step 6
From the Enable mode, enter the command upgrade all 127.0.0.1 filename, where filename is the name
of the VDS TC 5.7.3 software upgrade image file that you copied to the /tftpboot directory in the
Uploading the Required Files section.
Step 7
To upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3, a new license is required. The upgrade process will warn you to only
proceed with the upgrade if you already have a new license file for 5.7.3. This is the license file that you
copied to the /tftpboot directory in the Uploading the Required Files section. If you upgrade the system
without this license file, the system will not start.
Note
If you have not uploaded the VDS TC 5.7.3 license as instructed earlier, stop the upgrade process.
Perform the upgrade only after you obtain the VDS TC 5.7.3 license file.
Step 8
When the “Do you want to proceed with the upgrade?” prompt appears, enter Y and when prompted to
confirm, enter Y.
Step 9
The next step in the upgrade process is for the upgrade script to validate the VDS TC 5.7.x license file.
When prompted for the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the license file, enter 127.0.0.1 and
when prompted for the path to the 5.7.3 license file, enter the name of the license file.
Figure 7-3
Note
Upgrade License Validation
The license is only validated during the software upgrade script, it is not installed. You must install the
license file after the software upgrade process finishes.
Step 10
When the “Continue installation of management software? [Y/n]” prompt appears, enter Y.
Step 11
When the software upgrade has finished, you will see a “Succeeded” message and a a reminder to import
and activate the new VDS TC 5.7.3 license before restarting the service, if required. You will perform
these steps in the Importing the VDS TC 5.7.3 License and Restarting Services section.

Manually Downgrading a Blade Server Cluster
Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1
This chapter describes how to manually downgrade a Blade Server cluster installation from VDS TC
5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 if necessary. Only use these steps if the VDS-TC Rollback Procedure from
Chapter 8 failed with the error message “Not found suitable backup files, cannot restore version 5.6 on
this system. Please refer to the manual downgrade procedure or contact support.” and you are
downgrading a Blade Server Cluster installation to VDS TC 5.6.1.
Caution
Running the Manual Rollback Procedure will remove all existing cache data storage and the VDS
TC version 5.7.3 CMDB because the storage will be formatted.
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
Note
As part of the roll back process, you must also downgrade any firmware and operating system versions
that you upgraded on the Cisco UCS systems, switches, and storage enclosures. These must be
downgraded to the versions that are specified in the installation guides of the VDS TC version that you
are downgrading to. Downgrade the firmware and operating system versions before you perform the
steps in this chapter. You will also need to roll back any of the configurations for the Cisco UCS systems
and switches that were updated as part of the upgrade process.
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:
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.

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
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the VDS management server. Log in as
padmin with the password provided by Cisco.
Step 5
Enter the command su root, and when prompted, enter the password provided by Cisco.
Step 6
Follow these steps to clean up the storage and local disks from any 5.7.3 CMDB copies:
a.
Enter the command su - install
b.
Enter the command scp /opt/pang/mgmt/config/wipe_old_database.sh admin@ce-1:~
c.
Enter the command ssh -l admin ce-1 'sudo ~/wipe_old_database.sh'
d.
Enter exit
Step 7
To format the storage, enter the command su - install -c "ssh -l admin ce-1 'sudo
/opt/pang/useful/format_disks.sh -format_all'"
Step 8
To restore the previous configuration, perform these steps:
Caution
Step 9
After you perform these steps, any changes that were made after the upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3 will be
lost.
a.
Enter the command cd /opt/5.6_backup.
b.
Enter the command cp -vf *.xml *.xsd *.xsl *.conf /opt/pang/mgmt/config &>/dev/null

Performing the VDS TC Software Upgrade from VDS TC 5.2.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3
Step 2
Note
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.
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
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_5.2.1b5_bkp.xml.
Step 5
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the enable command. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. You are now logged into Enable mode and the Enable prompt, console#,
should appear.
Step 6
From the Enable mode, enter the command upgrade all 127.0.0.1 filename, where filename is the name
of the VDS TC 5.7.3 software upgrade image file that you copied to the /tftpboot directory in the
Uploading the Required Files section.
Step 7
To upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3, a new license is required. The upgrade process will warn you to only
proceed with the upgrade if you already have a new license file for 5.7.3. This is the license file that you
copied to the /tftpboot directory in the Uploading the Required Files section. If you upgrade the system
without this license file, the system will not start.

Post Upgrade Steps
Post Upgrade Steps
Perform the steps in this section to complete the upgrade to VDS TC 5.7.3. This section include steps to
update the configuration on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch, copy a configuration file to the VDS
TC Management Server, import the VDS TC 5.7.3 license, and re-enable the VDS TC service.
Updating the VDS TC Switch Configuration
To support the Active Active function that was applied in Cisco UCS and VDS TC application, you must
update the configuration on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch.
Follow these steps to update the switch configuration to support the Active-Active configuration:
Step 1
Obtain a copy of the switch configuration files. You will use these configuration files to help you
configure the VDS TC switch. The configuration files are available in a .tgz file that is available from
the same location as the VDS TC upgrade image file on www.cisco.com.
Step 2
After you download the switch configuration file from cisco.com, unzip the file and locate the
appropriate configuration files for your VDS TC installation. The switch configuration files for the
Nexus 7000 Series Switches for a blade installation will typically be located in the following directory:
examples\B-Series\VDS-TC-XB\Switches_Configuration\Nexus7K
where X is the number of blade servers in your VDS TC installation. For example, for a VDS-TC-8B
installation, the directory path would be
examples\B-Series\VDS-TC-8B\Switches_Configuration\Nexus7K.
Note
If you have a multicluster VDS-TC-16B solution, the switch configuration files for this solution should
be located in the examples\B-Series\VDS-TC-MULTIGRID-2x16B\Switches_Configuration folder.
Which configuration files you should reference depends on how many blades are in your cluster
installation. For example, if you have a Cisco VDS-TC-8B, you would locate the configuration files
named VDS-TC-8B-MAIN-VDC-ITD.txt and VDS-TC-8B-DATA-VDC-ITD-IPV4.txt.
Caution
The configuration files for the Main (Admin) VDC (these files will contain the word MAIN in their
name) should only be used as a reference. These files should not be copied to the Admin VDC.
Step 3
Log into the CLI of the switch. You will need the username and password to access the CLI.
Step 4
Enter the command show vdc to view a list of VDCs on your switch. Find the name of the data VDC. It
should have a name like TC-XB-DATA, where X is the number of Blade Servers you have installed.
Step 5
Enter the command switchto vdc VDC_name, where VDC_name is the name of the data VDC that you
discovered in Step 4.
Step 6
Make a backup copy of the current configuration for the data VDC before you update the configuration.
To make a backup copy of the current switch configuration, use the copy command. Include vdstc521
in the filename.
Note
Do not proceed to the next steps until you have created a backup copy of the current data VDC
configuration. You will need this backup configuration if you need to roll back the upgrade.

Upgrading from VDS TC 5.2.1 to VDS TC 5.7.3 for a Blade Server Cluster Installation
Post Upgrade Steps
Step 7
Next you will update the configuration of the data VDC. The data VDC configuration files for VDS TC
5.7.3 are contained in the configuration .tgz file that you obtained in Step 1. Using a text editor, such as
Notepad, open up the backup copy of the current data VDC configuration that you saved in Step 6 and
open the appropriate data VDC configuration file for VDS TC 5.7.3 (you should have two files open in
notepad at this point). Compare the two configuration files and make any changes that are necessary to
the VDS TC 5.7.3 data VDC configuration file that you obtained from Cisco that are appropriate for your
specific installation. Save the changes to the VDS TC 5.7.3 data VDC configuration file.
Note
Which data VDC configuration file you should use depends on how many Blade Servers you have in your
installation and if you have a VDS-TC-16B solution, whether that solution is a multicluster
configuration. For example, if you have 16 Blade Servers in an installation that is not multicluster, you
would use the file named VDS-TC-16B-DATA-VDC-ITD-IPV4.txt. If you have 16 Blade Servers in a
multicluster installation, you would use the files named TC_16B_DATA_01_VDC_ITD_IPv4.txt and
TC_16B_DATA_02_VDC_ITD_IPv4.txt. The multicluster switch configuration files will be in the
examples\B-Series\VDS-TC-MULTIGRID-2x16B folder If you are unsure of which files to use, contact
your Cisco representative.
Step 8
Enter the config t command to enter global configuration mode. The global configuration mode prompt,
switch(config)#, appears.
Step 9
Copy the content from the data VDC switch configuration file that you saved in Step 7 and paste them
into the global configuration mode prompt of the CLI connection to the Nexus 7000 Series Switch.
Note
It is recommended that you copy and paste just a few lines at a time to avoid any errors that the Nexus
CLI parser may generate.
Step 10
Enter exit to return to Privileged mode.
Step 11
Enter show running-config and validate that the complete configuration was successful.
Step 12
After you have confirmed the configuration, enter the command write or copy run start to save the
configuration to nvram.
Step 13
Enter the command show int status and confirm that all of the physical, port channel, and VLAN
interfaces that are used by the VDS TC installation have a status of “connected.” For any of these
interfaces that have a status of “disabled”, perform the following steps:
a.
Enter the config t command to enter global configuration mode.
b.
Enter the command interface int-type slot#/por# for an interface that needs to be enabled.
c.
Enter the command no shutdown to enable the interface.
d.
Repeat Steps b and c for any additional interfaces that need to be enabled.
e.
Enter exit to return to Privileged mode.
f.
Enter the command show int status and confirm that the status of the newly enabled interfaces is
“connected”.
Note
If any of the interfaces that are used by the VDS TC installation have a status of “notconnected”, check
the cabling and configuration of these ports.
Step 14
Enter the command show itd brief and confirm that the status of all of the ITD services is “Active.” Your
output should be similar to the following:

From Privileged mode, enter the command write or copy run start to save the configuration.
Step 18
Enter the switchback command to switchback to the main (admin) VDC.
Step 19
Enter the reload command to reload the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch.
Caution
The reload command disrupts traffic on the device.
Copying the Configuration File to the VDS TC Management Server
Part of the post upgrade steps is to copy a configuration file to the VDS TC Management Server. The
configuration file sets the environment variables and configuration for the VDS TC application. A
sample configuration file is provided in a .tgz file that is available from the same location as the VDS
TC ISO image file on www.cisco.com. In this section you will copy an example configuration file, edit
this file, and import the new configuration file to the VDS TC Management Server. For more information
about editing the configuration files in this section, see the Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite
Transparent Caching Software Configuration Guide.
Step 1
Download the configurations .tgz file that is available from the same location as the VDS TC ISO image
file on www.cisco.com. In this .tgz file, locate the sample configuration file that matches the number of
VDS TC Cache Engines that are installed in your VDS TC Blade Server installation. This file should
have a name like cluster_conf_VDS-TC-<#>B-ACTIVE-ACTIVE.xml, where <#> is the number of
blade server cache engines that are in your installation. For example, you would use the file named
cluster_conf_VDS-TC-16B-ACTIVE-ACTIVE.xml for a system that has 16 blade server cache engines.
Step 2
Edit the sample configuration file that you located in Step 1 to make the required changes in the
following sections. For more information on editing the required parameters in the cluster_conf.xml file,
see the Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite Transparent Caching Software Configuration Guide.
•
The <mgmt-config> controls the management IP environment section.
•
The <network> section controls the data network addresses.
•
The <service> section controls the cache out port configuration.
Step 3
Save your changes and rename the file cluster_conf.xml.
Step 4
Using SFTP software, such as WinSCP, connect to the management IP address that you assigned to the
VDS TC Management Server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco.
Step 5
Copy the example configuration file that you saved in Step 3 into the /tftpboot folder on the VDS TC
Management Server.
Step 6
From an SSH session that is connected to the VDS TC Management Server, enter the command su
admin. The Regular mode prompt, console>, appears.
Note
If you need to open a new SSH window to the VDS TC cache engine, enter the management IP address
of the VDS TC cache engine and log in using the username padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco. Enter the command su root to change to the root user and when prompted, enter the password
for the root user that was provided by Cisco.
Step 7
To log into the Enable mode, you need the system ID to use for the password. Enter the command show
systemid to determine the system ID.

Downgrading a Blade Server Cluster Installation
from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.2.1
This chapter describes how to downgrade from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.2.1 if necessary. Only use
these steps if you are downgrading a Blade Server cluster installation to VDS TC 5.2.1. If you need to
downgrade an Integrated Appliance to VDS TC 5.2.1, see Chapter 2, “Downgrading an Integrated
Appliance from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1”. If you need to downgrade a C-Series
cluster installation, Chapter 5, “Downgrading a C-Series Cluster Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS
TC 5.6.1 or VDS TC 5.2.1”.
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
Note
As part of the roll back process, you must also downgrade any firmware and operating system versions
that you upgraded on the Cisco UCS systems, switches, and storage enclosures. These must be
downgraded to the versions that are specified in the installation guides of the VDS TC version that you
are downgrading to. Downgrade the firmware and operating system versions before you perform the
steps in this chapter. You will also need to roll back any of the configurations for the Cisco UCS systems
and switches that were updated as part of the upgrade process.
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:
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.

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
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the VDS TC management server. Log in
as padmin with the password provided by Cisco.
Step 5
Enter the command su root, and when prompted, enter the password provided by Cisco.
Step 6
Enter the command cd /tftpboot.
Step 7
Enter the command ls Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz to confirm that the
Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file is in the tftpboot folder. If it is not, perform the following steps:
Step 8
a.
Obtain the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file from Cisco.com. This file should be available in
the same location as the VDS TC 5.6.1 upgrade image file.
b.
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.
c.
Copy the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file to the /tftpboot folder. Close the SFTP software.
Perform the following steps on each cache engine:
a.
From the SSH connection to the VDS TC management server, enter the command ssh ce-X “ls
/tmp/Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz”, where X is the # of the cache engine that you are
checking, to confirm that the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file still exists on the cache engine.
If not, enter the command scp Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz ce-1:/tmp to copy the file from
the management server to the cache engine.
Step 9
Repeat Step 8 for each remaining cache engine.
Step 10
To rollback the VDS TC Software to version 5.2.1, do the following:
a.
Enter the command cd /opt/pang/mgmt/config to change directories.
b.
Enter the command ./downgrade_proc.sh -backup_dir /opt/5.2_backup/ to run the downgrade
procedure.

Manually Downgrading a Blade Server Cluster
Installation from VDS TC 5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.2.1
This chapter describes how to manually downgrade a Blade Server cluster installation from VDS TC
5.7.3 to VDS TC 5.2.1 if necessary. Only use these steps if the VDS-TC Rollback Procedure from
Chapter 8 failed with the error message “Not found suitable backup files, cannot restore version 5.2 on
this system. Please refer to the manual downgrade procedure or contact support.” and you are
downgrading a Blad Server Cluster installation to VDS TC 5.2.1.
Caution
Running the Manual Rollback Procedure will remove all existing cache data storage and the VDS
TC version 5.7.3 CMDB because the storage will be formatted.
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
Note
As part of the roll back process, you must also downgrade any firmware and operating system versions
that you upgraded on the Cisco UCS systems, switches, and storage enclosures. These must be
downgraded to the versions that are specified in the installation guides of the VDS TC version that you
are downgrading to. Downgrade the firmware and operating system versions before you perform the
steps in this chapter. You will also need to roll back any of the configurations for the Cisco UCS systems
and switches that were updated as part of the upgrade process.
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:
a.
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the management IP address of the
VDS TC appliance.

Note
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
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
Using SSH software, such as Putty, open an SSH connection to the VDS management server. Log in as
padmin with the password provided by Cisco.
Step 5
Enter the command su root, and when prompted, enter the password provided by Cisco.
Step 6
Enter the command cd /tftpboot and then enter the command ls Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz to
confirm that the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file is in the tftpboot folder. If it is not, perform the
following steps:
Step 7
a.
Obtain the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file from Cisco.com. This file should be available in
the same location as the VDS TC 5.7.3 upgrade image file.
b.

the VDS TC management server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was
provided by Cisco.
c.
Copy the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file to the /tftpboot folder. Close the SFTP software.
Perform the following steps on each cache engine:
a.
From the SSH connection to the VDS TC management server, enter the command ssh ce-X "ls
/tmp/Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz", where X is the # of the cache engine that you are
checking, to confirm that the Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz file still exists on the cache engine.
If not, enter the command scp Cisco_network_updater_v_1.8.tgz ce-1:/tmp to copy the file from
the management server to the cache engine.
Step 8
Repeat Step 7 for each remaining cache engine.

Repeat Step 6 for the remaining cache engines.
Restoring the Switch Configuration
You need to restore the configuration on the switch that was running with VDS TC 5.2.1. Follow these
steps to restore the configuration on the switch:
Step 1
Log into the CLI of the switch. You will need the username and password to access the CLI.
Step 2
Enter the command show vdc to view a list of VDCs on your switch. Find the name of the data VDC. It
should have a name like TC-XB-DATA, where X is the number of Blade Servers you have installed.
Step 3
Enter the command switchto vdc VDC_name, where VDC_name is the name of the data VDC that you
discovered in Step 2.
Step 4
Make a backup copy of the current configuration for the data VDC before you roll back the configuration
just in case there is a problem with the roll back. To make a backup copy of the current switch
configuration, use the copy command. Include vdstc572 in the filename.
Step 5
Use the copy command to copy the backup configuration for the VDC that you saved during the upgrade
procedure to the startup-configuration of the VDC. The filename should include vdstc521 in the
filename.
Step 6
Enter the command reload vdc to reload the data VDC and have the configuration take affect. Wait for
the VDC to reload and then continue on to the next section.
Finishing the Rollback
Step 1
At the Enable mode prompt enter the command oper service start to start the caching service.
Step 2
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:
