Upgrading TPVM (task)

Before you begin

About this task

New CLI to download new TPVM image to /tftpboot/SWBD2900 folder. If SLX had any previously deployed TPVM as per new mode introduced in this release SLX-OS 20.3.2, then that will be stop/uninstalled and new image shall be deployed and previously set TPVM configurations will be applied too.

What to do next

Example 1) This example describes how to upgrade TPVM. The TPVM may or may not be running. The internal workflow is as follows:

From the server, download the TPVM Debian file from the /tftpboot/SWBD2900 folder.
Test if TPVM is running to stop and uninstall it.
Note
(SLX-OS configuration is not impacted).
Test if the SLX-OS had previously deploy TPVM, then only install and start the new TPVM image installation.
- Apply both install time and run time, and any persisted configurations found at the SLX running-configuration.

SLX# tpvm upgrade protocol scp host 10.31.2.101 directory /folder/to/debian 
             filename tpvm-4.2.5-1.amd64.deb  user mylogin password mypasswd

Note

The deploy command is a time-taking operation. If executed through the Netconf/RPC, it is non-blocking to the client and will proceed in the background at the SLX switch. The Raslog “DCMD-1451” (for start), “DCMD-1452” (for success) and “DCMD-1453” (for fail/abort) are published.
