Upgrade/Downgrade Guidelines for ENCS 5400-W Devices

Consider the following for upgrading or downgrading a WAAS device on ENCS:

You can use the WAAS Central Manager or the CLI to upgrade a WAAS device on ENCS to WAAS 
Version 6.4.1.

You can use the Central Manager to upgrade from the device level and the device group level. To 
use the Central Manager to upgrade a WAAS device or vWAAS on ENCS:

1.

Telnet to the vWAAS device.

2.

Update the Central Manager IP address.

3.

Login to the Central Manager.

You cannot downgrade a WAAS device on ENCS to a version earlier than WAAS Version 6.4.1.

If you try to downgrade a WAAS device on ENCS to a version earlier than WAAS Version 6.4.1, the 
WAAS Central Manager displays the following warning message:

Device Group has unsupported devices 

ENCS-DeviceName

 to the selected version. The image installation will 

not be applied on such devices.

Do you still want to proceed with the downgrade?

The Central Manager supports upgrade and downgrade of all applicable device types in a device 
group. 

For example, if you are downgrading a device group that has a physical WAE, a virtual WAE, and 
an ENCS platform to a version earlier than WAAS Version 6.4.1, the Central Manager will initiate 
the downgrade process only for the physical and virtual WAEs, but not for the ENCS platform.

Mode

Command

Description

EXEC

copy sysreport disk

The ENCS logs are part of the sysreport generation for debugging.

reload

Halts the operation and performs a cold restart of the VM.

show hardware

Displays the following information for the specified device:

Hardware Information—Manufacturer, PID, serial number, hardware version, CPU 
information, Memory information, and disk size.

System Information—UUID, NFVIS version, compile time, kernel version, Qemu 
version, LibVirt version, and OVS version.

show inventory

Displays system inventory information, including a description of the device, and the 
device’s PID, chassis or slot number, version number, and serial number.

show version

Displays the version of the OE-ENCS device, as well as device ID, system restart time, 
system restart reason, and amount of time system has been up.

shutdown

Powers down the ENCS host/server.

global 
config

interface virtual

The internal interface is used for communication between the NFVIS host and the WAAS 
guest. The IP address associated with this interface (virtual 0/0) is assigned automatically 
by NFVIS while booting up, and cannot be modified.

Note

The interface virtual slot/port command cannot be used to configure ENCS internal 
interface.
