ware and software components of PRIMERGY servers. Update Man-  
agement comprises the following applications:  
l
l
Update Manager provides a mechanism for managing updates and  
installing them on the monitored managed nodes.  
Repository Manager provides a mechanism for managing the repos-  
itory:  
o

1 Introduction  
1.1 Concepts  
Update Management is based on a database concept where the GUIs and  
services communicate exclusively via the database:  
1. The GUIs are used to define jobs for the services and write these jobs  
to the database.  
2. The services retrieve their jobs from the database, process these in the  
background and write the results to the database.  
3. The GUIs then display the results from the database.  
The tasks performed by the various services are described below:  
The Inventory Service reads the inventories of the PRIMERGY servers and  
writes the results to the database. (The inventory contains the entire hard-  
ware and software configuration data of a PRIMERGY server.)  
The Download Service downloads updates from the download server into  
the repository.  
In addition to the download via the Download Service, you can also  
import updates from the ServerView Suite DVD 1 min. 7.812 (Win-  
dows) / 10.09.09 (Linux), max. 10.12.04 or the ServerView-Update  
DVD to the repository using the Repository Manager.  
For the initial update (Update Manager Express) of your PRIMERGY  
server, load the updates from the ServerView Suite DVD 1 min. 7.812  
(Windows) / 10.09.09 (Linux), max. 10.12.04 or the ServerView-Update  
DVD first because otherwise this process may take a very long time to  
complete due to the large volume of data. Since the DVD, which is pub-  
lished almost monthly, may not contain the latest updates, you should  
then download the latest updates using the Download Service.

1.1 Concepts  
The Update Service performs the following tasks:  
1. It detects which updates are available for the individual PRIMERGY  
servers based on the inventories and repositories, and returns the result  
to the database so that this can be displayed in the GUI.  
2. It uses the jobs you define in the GUI to transfer the updates from the  
repository to the PRIMERGY servers.  
These interrelationships are illustrated in the following graphic.

1 Introduction  
1.3 Notes on management stations  
1.3.1 Shutdown and restart  
A shutdown/restart of the management station is permitted if there are no  
servers with the job status processing on the Server Details tab in the  
Update Manager. Jobs with the status waiting (Job Details tab) are execut-  
ed after the management station has been restarted, when the Start Time is  
reached.  
A shutdown/restart of the management station is not permitted if there are  
any servers with the job status processing on the Server Details tab in the  
Update Manager.  
1.3.1.1 Status after unplanned restart  
After an unplanned restart of the management station, the Job Details dialog  
box may contains the following entries:  
l
Job Status: error  
l
Return Text: manager abort  
1.3.1.2 Procedure for resolving the errors  
l
If the agent status on the Server Details tab is ready, you can regen-  
erate the job by copying it (Copy Job).  
l
If the agent status is error or busy, first perform a cleanup and then rec-  
reate the job by copying it (Copy Job).  
1.3.2 Updating the management station with components  
which needs a reboot  
During rebooting the management station, the connection from the web  
browser (workstation) to the web server (management station) is interrupted.  
After rebooting the management station, re-establish this connection (e.g. by  
pressing F5 on the workstation).

1.4 Autonomous Support Packages (ASP)  
1.3.3 Multiple management stations  
You can run multiple management stations in one network; however, these  
management stations must be responsible for different servers. This means  
that the server lists on the various management stations must be different.  
1.4 Autonomous Support Packages (ASP)  
Autonomous Support Packages (ASPs) are self-extracting, self-installing  
software packages that allow you to install BIOS, firmware, agents or Add-  
on-products on your server.  
To install BIOS, firmware, agents or Add-on-products on a server com-  
ponent, you can call up the appropriate ASP directly.  
1.5 PRIMERGY Support Packages (PSP)  
A PRIMERGY Support Package (PSP) is the basic element for installing and  
updating drivers and software products on your PRIMERGY server.  
A PSP comprises several packages, which contain the different versions of  
the same driver or software product.  
1.5.1 Current PSP versions  
The current versions of PSPs are released with the ServerView Update  
DVD, a new version of which comes out approximately every two months.  
PSPs can also be downloaded at  
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/globalflash  
An overview of the components and server models that are supported  
by the currently released PSPs is provided in the Readme file for the  
relevant PSP.

1 Introduction  
1.5.2 Components of a PSP  
Each PSP consists of the following elements:  
l
A zip archive containing the drivers or software products as well as the  
files required to install the PSP  
Release notes (relnotes.txt)  
A PSP description file (xml file)  
l
l
PSP description file (xml file)  
The description file contains the following information:  
l
l
l
l
Name of the PSP  
Details of the version and contents of the PSP  
Information on the installation priority of the PSP  
Description of all packages contained in the PSP  
For each package contained in the PSP, information is provided on the  
version and on hardware and software dependencies, e.g. the chassis  
ID, system board ID, PCI ID, firmware or operating system version.

1.5 PRIMERGY Support Packages (PSP)  
1.5.3 Product Detection of Primergy Support Packages  
Product detection is available for most PSPs.  
Requirements on the server:  
l
Primergy Support Package FSC_SCAN  
Tools PrimeUp >= V1.15.25  
l
The version of the PSP FSC_SCAN and the PrimeUp tool which comes  
with the repository must be installed. (Always use the newest package ver-  
sion)  
The ServerView Update Agent/GlobalFlash Agent calls the detection func-  
tion automatically  
l
l
at every boot.  
or  
after an update is completed.  
The results of the detection are displayed on Update Manager.  
Case “Not installed”  
Example:  
The customer has installed the hardware.The drivers of related products  
have to be installed for using this hardware.  
A "fake" PSP with version "0.0.0.0" is created to show the required prod-  
uct/driver.  
Then a real PSP may be installed.

1 Introduction  
Case “Newer version installed”  
Example:  
The customer has installed a very new version of a product (perhaps  
beta), which is not actually produced as a PSP on the FTS site.  
A "fake" PSP with version "99.99.99.99" is created, to protect the customers  
product against accidental overwriting/ updating by Update Manager.  
If a PSP with this product/driver version or newer exists at a later date, the  
protection is canceled and the PSP may be installed/updated with the real  
PSP version belonging to this product/driver.  
Case “Equal version installed”  
Example:  
The customer has installed the equal version by themselves, but not as a  
PSP (native).  
A "fake" PSP with the real version is created.  
This PSP may be updated to the real version or newer.  
Case “Previous version installed”  
Example:  
The customer has installed an older version than the version of the actual  
PSP and the older version was not installed as a PSP, but by the cus-  
tomer themselves (native).  
Because it is an older version than the version of the actual PSP, a "fake"  
PSP with version "x.x.99.99" is created. (x.x version of the actual PSP - 1).  
An update to the actual version (real version) is possible.

3 Update Procedures  
The Update Manager enables you to update drivers, ServerView agents,  
update agents, firmware and BIOS globally and locally on PRIMERGY  
servers. You can use the update procedures described below to do this.  
Which particular components can be updated with which procedure is  
described in the following files on the ServerView Suite DVD 1:  
Windows:  
SVSSoftware\Software\ServerView\Windows\GlobalFlash\Agents\

3 Update Procedures  
3.1 Online update  
This procedure allows you to update components under the control of the  
operating system that is currently running (Windows, Linux). In this case the  
Update Manager uses tools which are provided by the software vendors.  
Figure 2: Diagram of the update procedure (online)  
1. The Inventory Manager creates inventories by collecting information on  
the installed software and firmware components of all servers in the  
server list and storing this information in a database. The Inventory Man-  
ager can create the inventories either on command or cyclically.  
2. The Update Manager compares the inventories entered in the database  
with the software and firmware components in the repository. Based on  
the differences arising from this comparison, it then creates a list of  
components and servers that need updating.  
3. If you are updating via the graphical user interface select the com-  
ponents which are to be updated. If you are working with the CLI use  
the -U option to specify the repository from which the update data is to  
be taken.

3.1 Online update  
4. The Update Manager fetches the update data required from the repos-  
itory and defines the update jobs. In addition to the actual update data  
each online update job contains an update tool for the component con-  
cerned and the job control file with the required parameters.  
5. The update jobs are transferred to the update agent (socket com-  
munication).  
6. The update agent starts an update handler (an auxiliary routine of the  
agent), and this starts the update tool with the parameters required for  
the components concerned.  
7. The values returned by the update tool are evaluated by the handler and  
returned to the agent.  
8. The update agent updates the job status information.  
9. The Update Manager fetches the current status and error information  
and presents it on the graphical user interface or, if you are using the  
CLI, places it in result files.  
10. Depending on the request-specific parameters, the server may need to  
be rebooted by the management station at the end of the update oper-  
ation in order to enable the updated components.  
If you use the command line interface for the update, the reboot does  
NOT occur automatically. It must be explicitly executed with the com-  
mand GFCLI -R.  
The update procedure has then been completed.

3 Update Procedures  
3.2 Update via TFTP server  
This procedure is used to update PRIMERGY system components which  
cannot be updated using the update tools available under Windows, Linux or  
DOS either at all or only with great effort, or to update autonomous hardware  
systems on which none of these three operating systems runs. These sys-  
tem components and hardware systems are updated via a ServerView  
Update Agent of the type TFTP Server.  
The system components and hardware systems must be able to fetch an  
image from a TFTP server and to update themselves. They must have inter-  
faces via which  
l
l
l
the configuration data can be read (e.g. version, name, MAC address,  
etc.).  
the required parameters (IP address, path name and image name on the  
TFTP server) can be set.  
the update procedure can be started.  
The following control interface is currently implemented for this purpose in  
the Update Manager:  
SNMP (reading) and HTTP (writing)  
for updating a hardware system, e.g. the management blade of the blade  
servers BX600 and BX900  
In the case of BX600 MMB S2 there may be two alternate man-  
agement blades in operation (master and slave) which have  
just one joint update IP address for updating purposes. In this  
case when an update procedure takes place both management  
blades are always updated via this update IP address.

3.2.1 Updating a hardware system  
Updating a hardware system taking a management blade as an example  
Figure 3: Diagram of the update procedure (management blade via TFTP  
server)  
1. The Inventory Manager on the management server uses SNMP com-  
mands to fetch the required inventory data from the management blade.  
When you are updating via the graphical user interface the data is pre-  
sented on the graphical user interface.  
2. The Update Manager compares the inventories entered in the database  
with the software and firmware components in the repository. Based on  
the differences arising from this comparison, it then creates a list of  
components and servers that need updating.  
3. BX600 MMB S2 only:  
The login for HTTP is checked. This is done directly with the man-  
agement blade using HTTP commands.  
Update via Update Manager Linux: Login is checked during update.

3 Update Procedures  
4. The object-specific update job for the management blade is generated  
by the Update Manager.  
5. The Update Manager transfers the update images and the update job  
(incl. update handler and update tool) to the TFTP server and starts the  
update job (socket communication between the Update Manager and  
the update agent on the TFTP server).  
6. The update agent starts the update handler, and this starts the update  
tool with the required parameters from the job control file supplied.  
7. The update tool starts the dialog with the management blade and trans-  
fers the required update parameters using HTTP commands.  
8. The download of the images from the TFTP server and the update pro-  
cedure are then controlled completely by the management blade (TFTP  
communication).  
9. The return values from the components involved are transferred in the  
reverse order from the update tool via the update handler to the update  
agent.  
10. The update agent updates the job status information.  
11. The Update Manager fetches the current status and error information  
and presents it on the graphical user interface or, if you are using the  
CLI, places it in result files.  
The update procedure has then been completed.

3.3 Access to update data  
To update the managed servers the Update Manager requires the cor-  
responding update data. This data is contained in an repository with the fol-  
lowing subdirectories:  
Agent-Win  
Agent-Lx  
BladeSystem  
FibreChannelController LanController  
ManagementController  
ScsiController  
PrimSupportPack-Win  
SystemBoard

Tools  
The following options are available for accessing this data:  
l
l
Via the directory Firmware on the ServerView Suite DVD 1 or on the  
Update DVD.  
Via the Fujitsu Technology Solutions web server from which the update  
data can be saved to a repository which you have created on an arbi-  
trary drive of the management server.  
You can update this repository regularly by means of the Download Man-  
ager from the Fujitsu Technology Solutions web server.  
Content of Update Data  
Following a successful systemtest the new components will be added.  
After their official release, new components (BIOS, firmware, agents, driv-  
ers) and new versions are added to the repository.

DVD or another existing repository, to the current repository. In the Import  
Path field, specify the directory that contains the update components to be  
imported and click Check for Imports.  
After the process has finished, all components found in the specified direc-  
tory (including all subdirectories) are shown in the Source list on the left. If

the management station if they did not exist before. If an older version of a  
component exists the newer version is additionally added to the local repos-  
itory.

6.3 Download Manager  
The Download Manager provides you with a convenient way to get the latest  
versions of firmware, BIOS, drivers, and ServerView agents for your server.  
The Download Manager relieves you of the task of performing time-con-  
suming searches for suitable update information.  
Information and update files are provided on the web server of Fujitsu Tech-  
nology Solutions for your server update. The Download Manager first loads  
the information files to a download directory. The data in these information  
files provides the Download Manager and the other components of the Server-  
View Suite with an overview of the available updates.  
In the next step, the required update files are retrieved from the web server.  
These contain update information for firmware, BIOS, drivers, or ServerView  
agents, which can then be distributed to the relevant servers by the Update  
Manager. This step-by-step procedure minimizes the load times for the down-  
load.  
On the user interface, you define download tasks that search for available  
updates for selected servers in the time intervals you have chosen. The  
Download Service of the Download Manager then automatically loads the  
required files from the web server to a directory on your management server.  
6.3.1 Adjusting the Download Service  
You can limit the number of download tasks (concurrent jobs) that can be  
executed in parallel as follows:  
1. Make sure that no download tasks are running . Check the status icons  
on the Schedules Tasks tab.  
2. Stop the Download Service.  
3. Edit the DownloadServer.ini file in the  
<scripts>/ServerView/Download directory.  
This directory is located on the management station.

6.3 Download Manager  
Change the value of the ConcurrentJobsAllowed parameter.  
The default value is 30.  
The maximum value is 99.  
The value 0 is not advisable, as it allows an infinite number of parallel  
download tasks.  
When using a small database system with reduced concurrent access,  
the value should be set to 5.  
4. Start the Download Service.  
If you upgrade the Download Manager software, the value of the Con-  
currentJobsAllowed parameter will be reset to the default value.  
6.3.2 General Information on Download Manager  
Use Download Manager to define download tasks for one or more servers  
and specify when, and how often the download tasks are to be executed.  
You can also display information on download tasks already executed.  
It is recommended that you execute at least one download task a month.  
This ensures that the latest Update Manager information files and Version  
Manager database are loaded every month.  
The Download Service of the Download Manager executes the defined down-  
load tasks automatically as follows:  
1. Search on the web server of Fujitsu Technology Solutions for new infor-  
mation files.  
2. Load all new information files to the default download directory.  
3. The Download Manager uses the information files loaded to check  
whether updates need to be performed for each server for which the  
download task is activated.  
4. Load all required update files from the web server to the repository direc-  
tory.  
5. Show the results for each defined server via the graphical user inter-  
face.

7 Command-Line Interface  
The Command-Line Interface (CLI) in Update Manager provides a scripting  
environment for updating system components, and is part of the ServerView  
Operations Manager. The CLI is installed automatically with the Update Man-  
ager.  
The Command-line interface consists of two parts:  
l
GFCLI, commands and parameters  
l
citfs.bat, a batch job to update a new server and add the server to the  
ServerList  
7.1 GFCLI (Command-Line Interface)  
The CLI runs without user interaction (quiet mode), creates log files if  
required and returns various return values. You should test these return valu-  
es, for example, by checking the %errorlevel% system variable (Win-  
dows) or $? (Linux), or similar script and language elements.  
The structure of the individual commands flollows the convention:  
GFCLI <command> <parameter>  
Each command consists of the constant GFCLI, followed by the <com-  
mand> parameter, which defines the command and subsequent command-  
dependent parameters.  
Parameter  
Description  
-S (StartFlash)  
Starts update with version check  
This option only updates system components for  
which a newer version is found.  
-O (StartFlash)  
Starts update without version check  
-W (WaitForDone) Waits for the end of the update jobs  
-R (Reboot) Starts an explicit reboot

7 Command-Line Interface  
Parameter  
Description  
-C (Cleanup)  
Checks whether all update jobs are finished. If so, the  
update jobs are deleted.  
-A (Cancel)  
-H (Help)  
Deletes unfinished update jobs  
Displays the command syntax  
If the managed server is protected by access control, you must specify the  
parameters -L and -P when you use the CLI. These parameters are only  
used for the StartFlash, Cleanup and Cancel commands, which  
change the status.  
The CLI writes detailed results to a results file so that you can reproduce an  
update procedure. If the parameter for the results file is missing when the  
command is called, the default logfile.txt file is used.  
In addition, you receive return values to help you program complete update  
cycles for various results.  
7.1.1 Call Parameters  
-S (StartFlash command)  
Starts update with version check  
This option only updates system components for which a newer version is  
found.  
-O (StartFlash command)  
Starts update without version check.  
In this case all system components are updated with the latest ver-  
sion of the specified repository, without performing a version  
check, i.e. even if versions are equal or the installed version is  
newer (leading to a downgrade). This parameter is therefore risky!  
It should only be used by persons who have detailed knowledge of  
the specified repository and of the dependencies between the  
installed versions (for example, quality test and support employ-  
ees).

so, the update jobs are deleted.  
-A (Cancel command)  
Deletes unfinished update jobs.  
-H

-D  
The StartFlash only updates Microsoft-certified system components  
as standard. This parameter allows you to update non-certified com-  
ponents also.

7 Command-Line Interface  
-M  
Specifies that the managed system is a management blade server. The  
parameters -T and -I must also be specified to enable communication  
with the TFTP server (the latter parameter is only required in the Start-  
Flash) command.  
-B  
Specifies that the managed system is a connection blade server. The  
parameters -T and -Z must also be specified. -T in order to enable com-  
munication with the TFTP server,-Z in order to specify the IP address of  
the management blade server, since inventory data for the connection  
blade server is collected and provided via the management blade server.  
-E  
Specifies that the managed system is an iRMC. The parameters -T and -  
Y must also be specified, -T in order to enable communication with the  
TFTP server,-Y because the data for the VersionView.sav file cannot be  
collected by the program and an external inventory is required.  
-Z <IP-addr>  
IP address of the management blade server. The IP address is only need-  
ed for updating connection blade servers (see option -B).  
-T <IP-addr>  
IP address of the TFTP server for updates via TFTP server (for example,  
in case of a management blade or connection blade).  
-I {<IP-addr> | NO_ADDR}  
Update IP address of the management blade for updates via TFTP server.  
This address must be unique across the network. In the case of newer  
management blade versions (for example, MMBS3), where it is not nec-  
essary to specify an IP address, you must specify NO-ADDR here.  
-Y <path>  
Absolute path of the Inventory file "VersionView.sav" of the managed sys-  
tem.  
Mandatory on Linux if the managed system is a management blade or con-  
nection blade or if the managed node is an iRMC.

7.1 GFCLI (Command-Line Interface)  
When ServerView Operations Manager is installed the Inventory file can  
be found in the working directory of the Update Manager following the sub-  
directory "versionviewsav/<name of MMB>"  
-K <community>  
SNMP Community String if not public.  
7.1.2 StartFlash (Command)  
Syntax  
GFCLI {-S|-O} [-D] -N <system> -U <path>  
[-F <results file>] [-L <user> [-P <password>]]  
[-M -T <IP-addr> -I {<IP-addr>|NO_ADDR} [-K <Com-  
munity>] | -T <IP-addr> [-K <Community>]]  
[-B –Z <IP-addr> -T <IP-addr>]  
[-E -T <IPaddr> -Y <inventory>]  
Description  
When the -S parameter is used, StartFlash reads the inventory of the  
PRIMERGY server and compares all components with the versions in the  
specified repository. An update is only initiated for a component if a newer  
version is found in the repository. A downgrade is not possible with this  
parameter.  
When the -O parameter is used, there is no version check, that is, all com-  
ponents are updated with the latest version found in the specified repository.  
Parameter -O is risky! This parameter should only be used by persons  
who have detailed knowledge of the repository used and of the depend-  
encies between the installed versions. If, for example, a version of a  
component in the repository is older than the installed version, the  
installed version is downgraded in this case.  
The command ends as soon as all steps to start the update are completed.  
The command does not wait for the update procedure to be completed.  
The command terminates with a SequenceError if a previous update pro-  
cedure has not yet been completed with the Cleanup command or cancelled  
with the Cancel command. In this case, update jobs still exist that have one  
of the job status specified above.

Description  
WaitForDone returns a return value of 0, 4, 8 or 9 if all update jobs have  
been processed (with or without errors).  
In contrast to the Cleanup command, the update results are not deleted on  
the managed server when this command is executed. You can execute Wait-  
ForDone more than once, and the results file will be updated each time.  
If a connection cannot be established, the command returns a timeout after a  
maximum of 60 seconds. In this case, you can execute the command again  
to query the status.

[-L <user> [-P <password>]] [-M -T <IP-addr>]  
[-B –Z <IP-addr> -T <IP-addr>]  
[-E -T <IPaddr> -Y <inventory>]  
Description  
Cleanup executes the same steps as WaitForDone, but also deletes the  
update results on the managed server and completes the update procedure.  
The managed server returns to its original status and the update results are  
no longer available on the server.  
If a connection cannot be established, the command returns with a timeout  
after a maximum of 60 seconds.  
A cleanup is only permitted when the Job status = Ready.  
A cleanup is not permitted if a job has been transferred and is waiting to be  
executed (Job Status = Prepared) or is currently being executed (Job Stat-  
us = Working)  
After this command is executed, the update results are written once only to a  
results file. You cannot write the last update results to the results file several  
times, as you can with the WaitForDone command.  
Cleanup must also be executed after a WaitForDone (with a subsequent  
Reboot if necessary) to complete the update procedure.

All results of an update procedure are written to the specified results file. In  
this case, the results are added, which means that the files increase in size.  
You must manage (delete or rename) these results files yourself. The infor-  
mation is contained in the files in the form of event blocks.  
In the case of the StartFlash, Cleanup, and Cancel commands,  
the results are also written to the GFLog.txt log file. You will find this

7 Command-Line Interface  
7.1.9 CLI Standalone  
There is a seperate product "UpdateManagerCLI" that is deliberately meant  
for environments where there is no ServerView Operations Manager.  
But because there is no SVOM there is one major restriction, when running  
under Linux and intending to update a management blade or connection  
blade:  
As documented in description of the call parameters (Y option) the Inventory  
of the management blade or connection blade must exist as a file (Ver-  
sionView.sav) and has to be passed via the Y option.  
But since there is no SVOM there is no Inventory-Service running and thus  
no Inventory file is built on the system.  
Thus without providing the Inventory file via other means it is not possible to  
update the management blade / connection blade under Linux.  
7.2 citfs.bat (batch job)  
This tool is programmed for Windows command line to add a new server to  
the ServerList and update this server to the latest versions of BIOS, firmware  
and drivers. Afterwards the new servers can be administered as usual by the  
ServerView GUI.  
Requirements  
If the ServerView update agent is configured with security (AccountCheck),  
a user group must be specified (see "Prerequisites on managed servers" on  
page 16).  
Usage of the tool  
The tool CITFS (CLI Integration Tool For ServerView) is located on the fol-  
lowing directory:  
<sv om installation path> \svom\bin\ServerView\OnlineUpdate.

To execute the tool, open a command prompt and change to specified direc-  
tory (see above).  
citfs.bat {<IP-Addr> <servername> <community>}[<User>  
<Password>][force]  
Description of the parameters  
IP-Addr  
IP-Address of the new server.  
servername  
Name of the new server.  
community  
SNMP-community string.  
User / Password  
Login user ID and password for access control.  
This parameters are only required if the ServerView update agent on the  
managed node is configured with AccountCheck.  
force  
Causes the tool to reboot without the interaction of the administrator after  
the updates.
