After step 206, M is according to the software version of the download of information needs of loading source.That is, find loading source according to the IP address of loading source, the user name and password of permitting according to loading source carries out the legitimacy authentication, and by after the authentication, finds needs downloaded software version to carry out down operation according to above-mentioned parameter information.
For OMC, after step 206, the net element information that this locality is stored upgrades, wherein, this net element information comprise following one of at least: current information (that is the information of M), this network element (that is progress of download software version M), of carrying out the network element that software version downloads.The information of the M here comprises the IP address of sign and IP address and the loading source of M, can also comprise the subnet sign of M.Like this, make things convenient for the real-time monitoring of OMC, understand the progress that M downloads software version M.
If the downloading process of M is finished (that is, successfully having downloaded the software version that needs), then OMC upgrades its local saved software version download situation according to the net element information that upgrades.Like this, can guarantee that it all is up-to-date that software version is downloaded situation, makes things convenient for OMC to select suitable loading source.
If the downloading process of M failure, then OMC according in this locality pre-configured failed download processing rule operate, this failed download processing rule comprises failure cause and the corresponding processing mode that software version is downloaded.Wherein, the failure cause that software version is downloaded comprises: the link down of M and loading source, loading source do not exist the failed authentication of M, the path of software version etc., processing mode in the failed download processing rule comprises from loading source to be downloaded again, perhaps selects to download after the new loading source.
For example, if failure cause is the link down of M and loading source, then corresponding processing mode is to download again after this loading source waits for a period of time.If failure cause is the failed authentication of loading source to M, then corresponding processing mode is to select to download after the new loading source, that is, M downloads on new loading source.
In practical operation, if the downloading process of M failure, also can feed back a failed download message to M, down operation with cancellation M, next can wait for a period of time, being selected according to above-mentioned failed download processing rule by the user is to continue to download on former loading source, perhaps downloads from new loading source.
Need to prove that above-mentioned failed download processing rule can be to be set in advance (that is, this rule comes into force to all network elements) or (, this rule is only to specifying network element to come into force) is set when being moved in system by the user by system.For convenience of description, in Fig. 2, illustrated and described the technical scheme of method embodiment of the present invention, can in computer system, carry out such as a set of computer-executable instructions in the step shown in Fig. 2 with the form of step.Though figure 2 illustrates logical order, in some cases, can carry out step shown or that describe with the order that is different from herein.
