Summary

SBA required different type of update:

  • SbcComms update
  • Lync Cumulative Update
  • Windows Update RollUp

...

requires the following updates:

All of these updates can be completed through WebUI, but they can also be

...

triggered using the Sonus REST API that can be scripted with Powershell. This article

...

describes the steps required to update an SBA. It also contains

...

an "All In One" script that

...

completely

...

updates an ASM automatically.

Step by Step

Why Curl ?

 

...

Using cURL

 cURL is a free cross platform library and command-line tool

...

used to transfer  data using HTTP. In

...

the example

...

below, cURL is used to upload the file into the

...

SBC  (the current Powershell command

...

<Invoke-RESTrequest> does not support multi-part upload

...

). cURL does not require any installation.

...

Log in with Powershell

...

The action below defines the Login resource used to

...

log into the Sonus SBC REST API.

...

This  first request

...

must be

...

executed before you can access any of the other REST Resources on the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 system.

...

Refer to Resource - login.

cURL

This step allow to operation allows login to the SBC with curlcURL, and store stores the PHP Session ID into Powershell in order to for reuse it later.

This operation allows to install installation of Sonus SBC Communication service updates on the ASM.  Using Refer to Resource - sbaconfig.
