Managing SCTs

For more information on transferring files to the switch, see the “Copying Software Files to the Switch”

section in Appendix A, “Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades.”

After you download a file to a switch, you must register the SCT on the switch if it has not been

registered before, or you must update a preregistered SCT. The next two sections describe how to register

SCT files and how to update previously registered SCT files.

Registering SCT Files

SCT files must be registered on a switch before they can be used to configure card and port

communications. The registration process checks for version conflicts and registers SCTs with CWM

when CWM is used for network management.

The primary goal of SCT registration is to prevent the confusion that can result when two SCT files with

the same name contain different configurations. Registration on a switch ensures that no two registered

SCT files have the same name. When CWM is used to manage SCTs on a network, CWM can be used

to prevent different configurations for the same file name within the network, and CWM can be used to

distribute and register SCTs to multiple switches simultaneously. To learn how to manage SCT files with

CWM, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager User’s Guide, Release 15.

There are three types of registration:

• Auto registration during an upgrade

• Registration directed by CWM

• Manual registration initiated in the CLI

Autoregistration is used during upgrades from releases that did not support registered SCT files. Auto

registration registers SCT files that were in use before the upgrade.

When an SCT is autoregistered or registered through CWM, there is no need to manually register the

SCT. To view registered SCTs, use the dspscts command as described in “Displaying all Registered Card

and Port SCTs on a Switch,” which appears later in this chapter.

If the dspscts command display does not show the SCT you want to use, you can manually FTP an SCT

file to the switch and then manually register that SCT. If the upgrade files are copied to the switch as

described in the “Copying Software Files to the Switch” section in Appendix A, “Downloading and

Installing Software Upgrades,” you can manually register the SCT using the procedure described later

in this section.

When you manually register an SCT, the SCT is moved from a temporary directory to the directory

where registered SCTs are stored. You cannot use SCTs that are stored in the temporary directory. Once

an SCT is registered, it is removed from the temporary directory so that it cannot be registered again.

Use the following procedure to manually register SCT files.

Step 1 Check the SCT temporary directory on the switch to see if the SCT file you want to register is available.

The directory path is C:SCT/TEMP. For information on viewing directories, see the “Browsing the File

System” section in Appendix A, “Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades.”
