Steps for Build Up Flexi NG
• Install memories to ACPI5-A and hard disk to RTM
• Install your blades and AMCs to shelf
• Setup your Linux PC
• Copy needed R_FPT*.iso from NOLS to FEWS PC
• FSetupcli action in FEWS
– Uncompress R_FPT*.iso file to *.img files(fsetupcli --delivery --patch *.iso)
– Session creation(fsetupcli –session --create <session name> <fsetup*.conf>
– Session start(fsetupcli –session –start <session name>)
• SW Installation
– Disable all nodes except CLA-0 and AHUBs in shelf manager(clia deactivate board <slot
number>
– Boot up CLA-0 from FEWS(Net boot is used instead of boot from hard disk). Note that
others nodes should be disabled in this stage.
– Boot up other nodes from CLA-0. Enable other nodes, except CLA-1
– Boot up CLA-1 and run post configuration CLA-0 at the same time

Setting up FEWS
What is FEWS?
• FEWS is the abbreviation for ‘Field Engineering WorkStation’
• FEWS can be any kind of Intel based laptop or PC
• FEWS runs RedHat Enterprise Linux as operating system
• FEWS contains the SW delivery/deliveries for commissioning
• FEWS needs to have at least one Ethernet interface

Connect FEWS to Flexi NG
• Connect from FEWS PC ethernet cable to AHUB4-A(left AHUB and port SFP
1/6)
• Serial connection at least to Shelf manager and CLA-0 is needed. You can
use also windows laptop to get needed serial connections to CLA and Shelf
Manager.

Open Terminal Window for Minicom
• Open another terminal/console window for hardware configuration.
– It is recommended to use this terminal window only for hardware configuration with the
Minicom utility and keep it open until commissioning is successfully completed.
– Execute all commands below in the Minicom terminal.
• Launch Minicom in the setup mode by entering the following command:
– # minicom -s
– The configuration window is displayed.
– If FEWS has only one serial port, it is usually mapped as /dev/ttyS0. Note that the last
character is zero.
– Typically, laptops do not have serial ports. In this case, use a USB-to-Serial adapter and
Minicom mapping /dev/ttyUSB0.

Create Commissioning Session-1
• FEWS: Commissioning session creation:
#fsetupcli –-session –-create <session name> fsetup*.conf
For example:
#fsetupcli –-session –-create lion /tmp/fsetuplion.conf
Choose SW delivery, deployment and define passwords.
• FEWS: After session is created you need to start it:
#fsetupcli –-session –-start <session name>
For example:
#fsetupcli –-session –-start lion

Create Commissioning Session-2
• With creation of a session the directory /opt/nokiasiemens/fews/<mySession>
will be created. The directory contains all configuration data to commission
the CLA, except data used to boot the CLA.
• The SW for the CLA will be fetched from
/opt/nokiasiemens/deliveries/<delivery-version selected for commissioning>
during the commissioning process.
• In addition the session create command will create the configuration files for
the DHCP daemon and for TFTP to start the CLA via the network according
the passed commissioning parameter.

Create Commissioning Session-3
•The DHCP daemon is used to assign the IP address and boot information to
the CLA and TFTP is used to copy the kernel and initial ram-disk.
•The DHCP daemon configuration files can be found at
/opt/nokiasiemens/fews/sessions/<mySession>
•The TFTP files used to start the CLA can be found at /tftpboot/<mySession>

Commissioning
• CLAs: Clear the Master Boot Record (MBR) before commissioning in CLAs if
there is a old SW
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512
• Connect fews to hub (SFP 1/6 interface in ahub3)
In Shelfmanager:Deactivate all plugged boards except CLA-0, AHUB and
Shelf Manager. Use shelf manager(root/shmm4nsn):
#clia deactivate board < slot number >
• For example:
#clia deactivate board 2

Commissioning
• Shelf manager:Restart CLA-0:
#clia boardreset 1
• Boot order in CLA sholud be that PXE-boot is first and after that Hard drive.
You should have serial connection to CLA-0 that you can see that CLA start
to boot from PXE(FEWS). You should press enter beginning that PXE-boot
continues. If boot order is not correct one then during CLA-0 boot press F12
to get boot setup to change boot priority.
boot: "manual" for manual installation (default) Press enter here

• After commissioning is finished you can see commissionig finished OK text on
CLA-0. Stop session in FEWS:
#=============================================#
# COMMISSIONING: FINISHED OK (0)
# START DATE: 2010-07-16-181021
