Using the CTPView Server Software to Update CTPOS (CTPView)

You can use the CTPView software to distribute and install CTPOS update archive files on the CTP platforms in your network.

Note:

Upgrading to CTPOS 7.3R7 on a dual image flash system is not supported.

To update CTPOS:

Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.1 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView

  1. Access the CTP platform software download page at the Juniper Networks Customer Support site at https://www.juniper.net/customers/csc/software/ctp/#sw.
  2. Use a Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) program to copy the web archive file to the ctp directory on the CTPView server.

    You must be a member of the server group to access this directory. The CTPView server automatically checks and modifies the copied file's ownership and permissions as necessary.

  3. Log in to the CTPView GUI.
  4. In the side pane, select Node > Maintenance.
  5. Click Upgrade CTP Software.

    The Upgrade CTP Software window is displayed.

  6. Select the desired archive file from the list.
  7. Click the name of the platform you want to update.

    You can select more than one platform by holding down the Ctrl key when you click the platform names. Alternatively, you can click Select All Hosts to select all the listed CTP platforms.

  8. Click Upgrade CTP(s).

    The selected CTP platforms are upgraded sequentially. A progress window shows the status of the upgrade.

Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.1 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView

Starting in CTPOS Release 9.1R3.1, you can upgrade or install your CTP device with dual image.

To install dual image using CTPView:

Note:

  • For CTP2000/CTP150, the figures and illustrations are similar. So, we have used only CTP2000 device as a reference.

  • The steps for upgrading CTP151 are the same. The only difference being the ’image archive’ to be used.

  • You may manage a CTP device running CTPOS 7.3R7 or higher version using CTPView 9.1R3.1. However, upgrading to a higher version of CTPOS 7.3 is not supported using CTPView 9.1R3.1. In such a scenario, to upgrade the CTP device, use the corresponding version of CTPView.

  1. Launch CTPView software in your CTP device and ensure that a valid CTPOS is running.

    The Upgrade CTP Software screen is displayed.

  3. Select an acorn archive from the dropdown list to upgrade as per the running release of the CTP node

    • In case of CTP-150 and CTP-2000 running with 9.x release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_211221.tgz”.

    • In case of CTP-151 running with 9.1R1 or 9.1R2 release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp151_211221.tgz”.

    • In case of CTP-150 and CTP-2000 running with 7.3 release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_429_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_211221.tgz”.

    Note:

    Do not close this window while upgrade is in-progress. Closing this window will terminate the upgrade process.
