Platforms Tested
Various makes and models of laptops and desktop PCs with the following Operating Systems were used to test the software. The client software can also be installed and used on 64-bit machines and Windows OS. However, it is operated as 32-bit software. All pre-requisites must be installed prior to installing the software.- Windows 7 - Professional and Enterprise with SP1 editions
- Windows 8 - Professional and Enterprise editions
- Windows 10 - Pro and Enterprise editions
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 - Standard and Enterprise editions
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Update - Standard and Essentials editions
Bus Doctor and I-Tech:
In addition to Xgig file formats and other well known Ethernet capture file formats, the Xgig Analyzer supports SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet with Bus Doctor and I-Tech trace file formats. However, they cannot work directly with Bus Doctor or I-Tech hardware. They only work with saved trace files.
Xgig Expert and Xgig TraceView now support SAS v1.1 - Serial Attached SCSI captures taken from the Bus Doctor RX-108, RX-252 and I-Tech PowerFrame analyzer platforms. Xgig Expert provides full SAS Link Layer (SL), Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP), Serial ATA (Native and STP) experts and metrics for both single transmit/receive links as well as wide links of up to the number of physical capture lanes available on the analyzer (8 lanes/4 links on the RX-252 and 32 lanes/16 links on the PowerFrame).
It is recommended to use JDSU Bus Doctor Plus v3.2 or higher versions of the software for trace capture from the Bus Doctor Platform.
It is recommended to use I-Tech Satellite Software v2.10.1 for trace capture from either the PowerFrame or the legacy platforms.
To convert a trace, simply open the trace with either Xgig Expert or Xgig TraceView:
- Select File/Open from the Xgig application.
- Change the Files Of Type selector to "Bus Doctor (*.trace)". For I-Tech traces, select "I-Tech (*.SAT)".
- Navigate to the directory where the trace is stored. NOTE: This will vary somewhat for Bus Doctor and Bus Doctor Plus. Bus Doctor files are typically a single .trace file with a name of mytrace.trace. Bus Doctor Plus files are comprised of several files stored within a directory named mytrace.trc\, which contains the file _data.trace along with some other supporting files.
- Double-click on the saved file which you want to convert.
- If the trace has been previously converted, you will be prompted to overwrite the trace.
- Once the trace file has been converted, the files can be reopened by simply opening the .TGP file in the same directory that the original trace file was converted from. In the example above, this would be C:\traces\mytrace.trc\mytrace.tgp. This file can be opened with Xgig Expert via the File/Open menu or in Xgig TraceView by simply double-clicking on the TGP file in explorer or using File/Open.
- The trace will then be converted to Xgig trace format and automatically opened once the conversion is completed.
NOTE: Xgig TraceView and Xgig Expert will not work directly with the Bus Doctor or I-Tech hardware platforms. Refer to the Xgig Analyzer User's Guide for more details.
Upgrading the chassis
Use one of the following methods to upgrade the Xgig chassis:
NOTE: After finishing the app kit upgrading process, the Xgig5000 and Xgig1000 might go through the firmware upgrading for the blades installed and the chassis. Please pay attention to the following details.
- Status LED lights of the blades are blinking GREEN or alternating RED and PURPLE - Firmware upgrading or recovering is in progress. Please do not disturb! The Status page of the chassis web interface will display the orange banner indicating that firmware upgrading is in progress as well.
- Status LED lights of the blades are blinking RED - Firmware upgrading is complete and it requires that the chassis to be power cycled. Please turn the chassis OFF and wait for 10 seconds before applying power to the chassis to turn it ON. Un-predictable behavior might result if the chassis is not properly power cycled.
- Downgrading an Xgig5000 or Xgig1000 chassis from app kit version 9.1.0 to any earlier versions requires the chassis to be power cycled for the downgrade process to complete. However, the Status LED lights of the blades will not blink RED to indicate this requirement. Monitor the Status LED lights of the blades as the firmware downgrade process proceeds. The LEDs will blink GREEN for several minutes (approximately 10 minutes per blade). Once all the Blade Status LEDs turn steady BLUE and all ports LEDs are off in the case of Xgig1000 chassis, power cycle the chassis before using it. When the chassis boots, the Blade Status LEDs will return to steady BLUE, this time indicating that the chassis is ready for use.
Upgrading the chassis from client software applications:
- Install the Xgig Analyzer 8.0.0 client software on your PC by following the instructions in the Xgig Analyzer Installation Guide.
- Launch the Xgig TraceControl or Xgig Performance Monitor application.
- Click the "Create Domain" button in Xgig TraceControl or the "Select Sync Group" button in Xgig Performance Monitor.
- In the "Select Ports for …" window, select the Sync Group containing the chassis you need to upgrade.
- If the sync group has a compatible Appkit software, all chassis in the sync group will appear. Right-click on the space under the "Viavi Xgig" label of one of the chassis and select "Upgrade Sync Group with latest System/Appkit..." option from the context menu to start the chassis software upgrade. Either the System or Appkit or both will be upgraded depending on the status of each chassis in the sync group.
- If the sync group has old and incompatible Appkit software, an "Upgrade" button is available under the message informing of its incompatibility with the installed client software. Press the "Upgrade" button to start the chassis software upgrade. Alternately, you can click on the hyperlink of the master chassis of the sync group (i.e. http://Chassis_IP_Address) and use the Xgig Web Utility upgrade method shown below to upgrade the sync group.
- If the chassis selected for upgrade is part of a Sync Group that includes multiple chassis, all chassis in the Sync Group will be upgraded.
- You will receive a message confirming the upgrade versions. Press "Yes" to confirm.
- The "Upgrade Chassis" window appears showing the upgrade status of each chassis in the sync group.
- If both the System and Appkit software are to be upgraded, the Appkit software will be upgraded first then the chassis is rebooted. After two minutes delay, the System software will be upgraded. It would take a little longer for a chassis to reboot after a System software upgrade.
- An "Upgrade Complete" dialog appears to notify the completion of the upgrade process.
- Press "OK" to close the "Upgrade Complete" dialog.
- Press "Close" to close the "Upgrade Chassis" window.
- Press "Cancel" to close the "Select Ports …" window.
- Once the sync group is rebooted, it is ready to be used.
NOTE:
- The upgrade process above will launch its own FTP server to upgrade the chassis. Make sure your PC is not running any FTP server software. You will receive a warning message when this happens. Just close your running FTP server then proceed with upgrading the chassis.
- If the upgrade of the chassis from the client application fails for any reason, use the Web Utility upgrading procedure shown below to upgrade the chassis.
Upgrading via Xgig Web Utility (requires an FTP server):
