DSO and Cache Configurator Migration Guide

If you used Data Streams Optimizer or Cache Configurator 2021.2 or earlier versions, this guide help you easily migrate to the new 2021.3 version and versions going forward. This migration is required for existing TCC environment file(s), otherwise Data Streams Optimizer or Cache Configurator will not function.
Changing your environment file is the first step in configuring connections to your systems manually.
  1. Update your environment file:
    The default location of your environment files is:
    ${TCC_TOOLS_PATH}/demo/environment
    1. Remove the
      connection_settings
       field:
      {
  "targets": {
    "target_name_1": {
      "target_info": "...",
      "connection_settings": {
        "hostname": "...",
        "username": "...",
        "password": "...",
        "port": 22,
        "connection_timeout":5,
        "reconnection_timeout":10,
        "reconnection_attempts":10
      },
      "capsule_settings": {
      ...
      },
      ...
      ...
      ...
    }
  }
}
      Your environment file should now look like this:
      {
  "targets": {
    "target_name_1": {
      "target_info": "...",
      "capsule_settings": {
      ...
      },
      ...
      ...
      ...
    }
  }
}
    2. Update the
      capsule_apply_script
       field:
      If you didn’t customize the default field or script, change:
      "capsule_apply_script": "bash /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/capsule_apply_uefi.sh",
      To the new version of the script:
      "capsule_apply_script": "bash ./host_scripts/capsule_upload_apply_uefi.sh",
      If you customized the script for your systems, update your script to support the new functionality.
      To update the script, follow Capsule Upload and Apply Script.
    3. Update
      scripts
       field:
      If you didn’t customize this default field or script, change the entire field:
      "scripts": {
    "register_verification": "python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/registers_checker.py",
    "bdf": "python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/bdf_converter.py",
    "processor_checker": "python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/processor_checker.py",
    "rtct_reader": "python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/rtct_reader.py",
    "reboot_command": "reboot"
}
      To the new version of scripts:
      "scripts": {
    "register_verification": "bash ./host_scripts/target_runner.sh python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/registers_checker.py",
     "bdf": "bash ./host_scripts/target_runner.sh python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/bdf_converter.py",
     "processor_checker": "bash ./host_scripts/target_runner.sh python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/processor_checker.py",
     "rtct_reader": "bash ./host_scripts/target_runner.sh python3 /usr/share/tcc_tools/tools/target_scripts/rtct_reader.py",
     "reboot_command": "bash ./host_scripts/target_reboot.sh"
}
      If you customized the script for your systems or use other scripts, add
      bash ./host_scripts/target_runner.sh
       at the beginning of each script. However, you need to change``reboot_command`` to the new version of the script.
  2. Update
    ${TCC_TOOLS_PATH}/host_scripts/target_connection_settings.sh
     with your connection settings:
    Field Name
    Description
    HOSTNAME
    Replace
    hostname
     with the IP address or hostname of the target system.
    USER
    Replace
    user
     with
    root
    .
    SSH_EXTRA
    Add any additional SSH command line options.
    This file contains the hostname and username to connect to the target board through SSH.
    Here’s an example of the target connection settings file:
    HOSTNAME='hostname'
USER='user'
SSH_EXTRA=''
  3. Setup a password-less connection between the host and target machines.
    1. Generate a key with an empty passphrase:
      ssh-keygen -t rsa
    2. Copy the key to the target system:
      ssh-copy-id <user>@<target>
      If you do not have
      ssh-copy-id
       on your host system, use the command:
      cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh <user>@<target> 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
    3. Verify that a password is no longer required. For example:
      ssh <user>@<target> ls
