 General information 1 5

1.1 Overview
This document provides instructions for installing the Somaris/10 software after replacing
a computer (ICS/IRS), or in case of a software crash or failure where reinstallation may be
helpful.
The document describes Somaris/10 VA30. The following table provides an overview of
when to use the various installation procedures.

 All partitions are deleted during ICS/IRS installation, patient data and raw data, respec‐
tively, will be deleted.

Do not install the software on both computers at the same time, because you will loose
all the content of the service partition (configuration data, service packs, etc.).
If this rather unusual workflow happens, be sure to sync back the content of the service
 partition onto the newly installed computer prior to starting the installation on the other
computer.
For details, please see section ( Manual procedure to sync the content of the service
partitions / Page 67).

We recommend using the English-language version of the admin portal. Select it via the
 cogwheel menu > Administration Portal [EN]. One reason for this recommendation is
that the configuration export/import task does not work with the Spanish UI.

11.19
10 2 Somaris/10 VA30 - ICS SW Installation using the Recovery Images

n Synchronize files between ICS/IRS service partitions

- Disable the Kiosk mode
The built-in admin user “administrator” was changed in VA30 as per a regulatory re‐
 quest. Instead use the admin accounts “alocal” or “syadmin”. Syadmin has a different
default password. For details, please contact the RSC.

- Open a command prompt with admin rights (runas ...) and enter the following
command:
C:\somaris\bin\CT.Infrastructure.CustomerSupport.SyncWi
thIRS.exe -backup
 The message “IRS is not idle..” indicates that the sync to the IRS service partition
does not work. Power OFF/ON the system and retry.

2.1.2.2 Checking for pending jobs

n Open JobView (click on the briefcase icon at the very upper right at single screen/
second screen)
n Within JobView, click on all jobs and check for pending tasks

2.1.2.3 Check user and role administration

The recovery image will restore all users with their roles as used during recovery creation.
If user passwords were changed or new users were created since then, please be aware
that the passwords have to be reassigned, since configuration import does not restore the
password.

2.1.2.4 Remote Service

Remote Access Mode
n Check the remote access status in the admin portal, service work space Technical
Configuration > Remote Service > Access Control

User groups Siemens Remote Access ON/OFF

 Siemens remote access is disabled if the “User groups - Siemens Remote Access” check‐
box is unchecked.

2.2 Software installation procedure for ICS-1a/b towers

For the ICS-1d tower (SOMATOM X.cite and SOMATOM go. Open Pro), proceed to the sec‐
tion ( Software installation procedure for ICS-1d tower / Page 21).

The installation procedure is divided into two parts:

1. Installing the Recovery Image

2. Execute the final installation steps within the Field Updater

Select the recovery image from the admin portal, if possible. Otherwise, you need to
 boot WinPE to select the recovery image. Both procedures are described below, one after
another.

2.2.1 Select and install the recovery image from the admin portal
If the admin portal is no longer accessible, continue with section ( Boot WinPE to select
and install the recovery images / Page 12).
n Go to the Administration Portal
n Select service work space Installation
n Select service task System Recovery
n Select Restore Image on the ICS component
n Under Select Image for Restore, enable the checkbox of the desired image
n Ensure that the checkbox Restore D Partition is enabled
n Click the Go button to start the SW installation procedure.
 The system will shut down immediately and boot WinPE. WinPE displays the
following full-screen progress bar.
Fig. 1: WinPE progress window

 The following dialog will be displayed on top of the progress window prior to
restoring the Acronis image.

11.19
12 2 Somaris/10 VA30 - ICS SW Installation using the Recovery Images

This dialog was initially introduced to stop the automatic rollback in case of a failed serv‐
 ice pack installation. The same script is used to restore the recovery image. Ignore the
message text.

Fig. 2: Restore Recovery window

n Click the No button to continue with the installation. The Acronis installation starts
automatically if there is no user input after 60 seconds.
 The Acronis progress is hidden behind the progress window. You may use the
<Alt> + <Tab> combination to check the Acronis installation.
n The system displays the Field Updater automatically during system startup indicating
that the recovery image installation is completed.
 Continue with the Field Updater description under ( Continue the installation
within the Field Updater / Page 16).

If the Field Updater does not start automatically, most likely the disks were re-partitioned
and the drive letters were set incorrectly. Follow the procedure:
n Disable kiosk mode.

 Open a command prompt with admin rights and execute the following command:
n

- powershell -file c:\somaris\deploy\utils\Check_and_Recre

ate_Partitions.ps1
n Start the Field Updater manually as described under ( Starting the Field Updat‐
er / Page 16).

2.2.2 Boot WinPE to select and install the recovery images

You can select WinPE as the boot device in two ways:
1. Boot WinPE from the SD card.

SOMATOM go. / X. CT00-000.816.22.03.02 Page 12 of 75 © Siemens Healthineers, 2019

11.19
 Somaris/10 VA30 - ICS SW Installation using the Recovery Images 2 13

2. Set WinPE as the boot device in the boot manager during system startup. Of course,
the software needs to be able to start the boot manager during startup.

 The subsequent procedure is identical after WinPE is booted.

2.2.2.1 Booting WinPE from the SD card

n Disconnect any USB device (stick or storage disk) prior to starting the software instal‐
lation. If available, reinstall the USB storage disk after completing the software instal‐
lation.
n Insert the respective SD card (from kit P/N 110 61 682) into the card reader.
n Power ON or restart the system and press & release (tap) F11 on the keyboard to open
the BIOS boot menu.

!!!!! Important:
New ICS-1a and ICS-1b towers may contain a dual boot BIOS as shown in the figure be‐


low. At these towers, the software automatically boots WinPE in the SAFE mode from
the SD card (UEFI: Genesys ...), which is not yet supported in VA30A.
Therefore, always use F11 to enter the boot menu and then select:
n ICS-1a and ICS-1b: Genesys SD USB3 Reader

If UEFI: Genesys SD USB3 Reader was selected by mistake. You can correct this later on
 by selecting type MBR. The pop-up window appears after completion of the recovery in‐
stallation.

Fig. 3: BIOS boot menu Fig. 4: BIOS Dual Boot menu

n Select the corresponding boot device depending on the ICS tower type and press En‐
ter.
 The system boots the WinPE OS on the SD card. A progress window is dis‐
played.

in the figure below.
Fig. 7: Startup screen after recovery installation

n Check and correct the disk drive letter assignment.

- Disable kiosk mode.
- Open the File Explorer and check the drive letters (S:\ must be assigned to the serv‐
ice partition)
- If the drive letter assignment is incorrect, open a command prompt with admin
rights and type in the following command:
 powershell -file c:\somaris\deploy\utils\Check_and_Recre
ate_Partitions.ps1


The Field Updater does not automatically start in this workflow. Please start it manually
as described under ( Starting the Field Updater / Page 16).

2.2.2.2 Alternative: Set WinPE as the boot device in the boot manager
If the boot manager is still accessible during startup, use the arrow button on the key‐
board while the boot manager is displayed. This will allow you to set the boot device to
Windows PE Recovery.

 The boot manager is displayed for less than 2 seconds, right after the BIOS setup.

62 5 Create ICS and IRS Recovery Images

The customer is able to create a recovery image of the ICS during system shutdown. This


“run-once mechanism” is triggered by a previously installed xPack.
The ideal workflow is that the customer installs the xPack in the morning and initiates
the recovery image at shutdown in the evening.

The above-mentioned customer workflow does not create a IRS recovery image because
 the installation of the IRS Clone image during IRS replacement, for example, does not
take significantly longer.

6.1 Open IRS Remote console on the ICS

n Open the IRS Remote Console (IRC) from the admin portal > Tools list and follow the
figures below.
 In Somaris/10 VA30, the admin portal opens an Internet Explorer window to
start the IRC.

 In Somaris VA30A, the IRS works reliably within the admin portal. No workaround, like
calling the IRC from Windows desktop, is needed.

6.2 Manual procedure to sync the content of the service parti‐

tions
n Disable Kiosk mode so that you can access the Windows desktop. Use <Tab> + <Del>
+ <+> and log in with a Windows admin user account to disable Kiosk mode.
n On the Windows desktop, open a command prompt with admin rights (runas /
user:....).
n Enter the following command to sync the contents between the ICS and IRS service
partitions.
- Procedure in VA20 C:\somaris\bin\CT.Infrastructure.Customer
Support.SyncWithIRS.exe -xpack -backup -initialconfig -recov
ery
 The program opens at network share to the IRS and then copies (program robo‐
copy) the missing content to the corresponding ICS/IRS service partition.

If you use the File Explorer command \\192.168.184.2\g$ to check the content of the IRS
service partition, restart the system before executing the above sync command. Other‐


wise the script will fail due to the existing IRS network share. You may use the command
“net use” in a command prompt to check for open network shares to the IRS.
This problem does not appear if you use the IRS Remote Console to check the IRS con‐
tent.

Checking the content of the ICS and IRS service partitions

n ICS: open a file explorer and check the content of S:\Service
n IRS: open the IRS Remote Console and start the file explorer on the IRS to check the
folder ICS (G:)\Backup.ICS

Fig. 53: Initial_Config: Perform Reboot

n Press OK to reboot the system.

The software displays the Fast Contact dialog after system startup.

 Reason: With the host name change the Windows Time Server Startup setting is also
changed from manual to automatic. The SEEM component detects this mismatch and
triggers the Fast Contact dialog.

n Change to default Windows Time Server setting

- Disable the Kiosk mode and start an admin shell as described above
- Enter the following command to change back to the default setting
 c:\somaris\deploy\utils\install\Configure_NTPServer.cmd


Ignore the error message ... Failed 87:
The parameter is incorrect.

n Update the parameter file with the changed host name

The Initial Configuration procedure does not store the changed host name in the pa‐
rameter file and therefore the old host name will be restored if the ICS software is re‐
installed. To avoid this, perform the following command in an admin shell
- C:\Somaris\bin\CT.Infrastructure.Installation.Parameter
Sync.exe -action=CollectAndSync
