AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
Before either type can be loaded onto devices, they must exist in the <NMS-Home>swdownload directory. Moreover, the
firmware and associated xml files must both be included. The process to achieve this for standard and custom loads is as
follows:
• Standard Loads
• The Load Import tool (explained in 4.11.2), allows the user to place both the firmware and xml files into the
swdownload directory in a easy to use GUI format.
• The user can manually download the files and unzip them before placing them into the swdownload directory. This
method would be used when the NMS is on a Solaris platform.
Note: For the manual download, ensure that the files are unzipped only once.
• Custom Loads - The user must download the files manually, and then use the Create Custom Load option that is part of
the Software Configuration application (refer to 9.2.10).
Refer to the following figure that shows the steps that are followed.

4.11.2 Load Import GUI (Standard Loads)
In release 10.0, a tool to upload of firmware bundles is added to the NMS server bin directory.
To run the tool on Windows:
• double-click on AT_FwLoadImport.bat
To run the tool on Solaris:
• execute AT_FwLoadImport.sh
The tool can be used to load firmware into the NMS from either a CD (or file system) or an FTP server. The tool displays a
list of files available for download, their timestamps, and whether or not they're already loaded into the NMS. By checking
the “Get” boxes, files can be selected for download. The Get Files button will load the selected files into the NMS. Loading
progress is displayed in a popup window and zip files are unzipped as they're loaded.
Use the tab at the top to select a CD / File System download or an FTP Server download.
The CD / File System tab contains a Path field where a directory path can be entered. Either enter carriage-return or click
the Change button to get a list of files available in that directory. Use the Browse button to popup a directory browser to
point-and-click directory changes. Doubling-clicking will change the directory, update the file list, and leave the browser
displayed so further directory changes can be selected.
