System: Version

Software and Hardware version information and actions are available on the System → Version page. 

NOTE:
This screen will look a bit different on systems that are managing a supported router via OneView™. For more details, please read the app note Router Management with OneView™.
 

The top half of the Version page contains the Software Version Info section, which includes the current, previous, and factory default versions of the Optigo OneView application installed on the ONS-NC600 network controller.

(NOTE: The previous software version field may be blank if the unit's software has never been updated)

The bottom half of the 'Version' page displays the Hardware Version Info for the system. The top two rows on all systems contain the ONS-NC600's hardware version and MAC address. However, although the bottom two rows on Spectra systems contain the hardware version and MAC address of the ONS-S8 Aggregation Switch, on Hybrid systems they contain the model of the Aggregation Switch (e.g. ONS-C2401p) and its MAC address.

Located at the bottom of the Version page are options to revert or upgrade the software on the unit.

When reverting to an earlier version of OneView software, the available options are the previous version or the factory default version.

To upgrade the software you will need to obtain the latest ONS-NC600 software package.

(NOTE: The ONS-NC600 can only be updated with software that is newer than its factory default software)

Upgrade Procedure: 

1. Click on the Upgrade Button

Click on the Upgrade Unit button at the bottom of the 'Version' screen.

The upgrade dialog box will appear.

 

 

2. Provide Upload File

Click the Choose File button and find the new software on your computer (e.g. Downloads).

 

Click the Next button.

Wait for the upgrade to complete and the ONS-NC600 to reboot, which may take up to 5 minutes. During this time you will lose access to the OneView GUI. Once the reboot is complete, you can reload the GUI and navigate to the 'Version' page to confirm that the upgrade was successful. Please note that you may have to refresh your browser.

Revert Procedure: 

1. Click on the Revert Button

Click on the Revert Unit button at the bottom of the 'Version' screen.

The revert dialog box will appear.

2. Select Revert Version

Select either the previous or factory default software version.

CAUTION:
Reverting to the previous software version will also revert the unit's settings back to what they were before the upgrade to the current version.
Reverting to the factory default version will reset all of your system's settings to factory defaults.

3. Confirm the revert

To confirm the revert, click the Next button.

Wait for the downgrade to complete and the ONS-NC600 to reboot, which may take up to 5 minutes. During this time you will lose access to the OneView GUI. Once the reboot is complete, you can reload the GUI and navigate to the 'Version' screen to confirm that the downgrade was successful. Please note that you may have to refresh your browser.
