Overview

Warning

SBC security patches and software updates protect your ASM from vulnerability to malicious viruses and security threats. To keep your ASM up-to-date, do the following:

Note

Depending on the size of the update and the number of updates being installed, the reboot may take several minutes and possibly up to an hour.

Sonus publishes Update Packs on a regular basis through the Sonus Download Center. The Update Packs work with Windows Update and other Non-Windows updates in order to keep the ASM up-to-date. The Update Packs contain a list of tested and authorized Windows updates, or specific installation packages such as Lync Cumulative Updates.

There are two methods of updating the ASM:

  1. Using the built-in functionality in the SBC 1000/2000 User Interface
  2. Using the REST interface
Note

The ASM needs to have access to the Internet and specifically to the Microsoft Windows Support website.

As the SBC 1000 - 2000 ASM employs Microsoft's Windows Server operating system, it is necessary to periodically download Windows Updates.  Updates are normally downloaded directly to the ASM from the Microsoft Windows Update website. In some cases, the ASM may be installed in a network that does not have Internet access to Microsoft's Windows Update website, therefore the ASM requires an alternative method to download Windows Updates. For more information, see Installing a WSUS.

Two types of ASM Roll-up Update .pkg files are provided and they include the following:

PackageFile Examples

  • Windows Service packs

NOTE: Windows Update packs are cumulative (you only need to install the latest release). The update requires the following 2-step process:

  • Installation/Uploading the .pkg via the Install ASM update task. - This installs the Authorized windows updates list
  • Initiating Windows Update installation (via the operational status pane). - This connects to Microsoft support to install the updates listed in the authorization list

  6. Browse to the roll-up (.pkg) file.
  7. Click OK.

Installing the Windows Updates

After a successful upload of a windows update .pkg file, the Update State field in the Windows Update panel changes to Updates Available - Install.
Once the .pkg file is uploaded to the node, the Operational Status pane, the Update State field changes to Updates Available - Install.

To install the updates:

  1. In the WebUI, click the Tasks tab.
    In the left navigation pane, go to Application Solution Module > Operational Status.
