Modeling OS manager per device

You can model an OS manager per device.

About this task

To model an OS manager per device follow these steps.

Procedure

  1. Visit the Vendor's web site and identify the device OS Upgrade commands that should be used, and determine best practices for upgrading. It is advised you should test the commands manually on the device to understand the OS upgrade process.
  2. Update the device script of the device for which the support is needed with the appropriate commands. The sections of the device script that the OS Manager tool uses uniquely are: del, squeeze directory, erase, copydown, and reload. For information on device scripts, see Creating an OS upgrade device script.
  3. Check whether the ITNCM - Base parser is already available for the device. Cross check that the system memory and file system memory is retrieved correctly.
  4. If the parser does not exist, a user defined parser must be created in the OS Specification resource. For information on how to create the OS Specification, see Creating an OS specification.
