# PON Fleet Upgrader
An Electron desktop app for bulk ONU firmware upgrades against a **Ciena
MicroClimate Management System (MCMS) 6.2** PON Manager.
Filters a fleet of ONUs, previews the planned writes, and stages new
firmware to each device's **inactive bank** so the forced reboot is
deferred until the next natural restart window.
Two execution modes:
- **Bulk task (Procedure 8, recommended)** — creates a single
`AUTO-TASK-CFG` via `PUT /v3/tasks/configs/<id>/`. MCMS owns the rollout
(retries, pacing, scheduled start).
- **Per-ONU PUT (Procedure 7)** — iterates the selected ONUs, fetches each
`ONU-CFG`, mutates `FW Bank {Ptr,Files,Versions}`, and `PUT`s the full
document back. Slower, but you see errors live per device.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm
- Network reachability to your MCMS host
- An MCMS user with ONU write + Files write permissions
- A compatible ONU firmware `.bin` file (already uploaded via this tool
or the vendor UI into `/files/onu-firmware/`)
## Install & run
```bash
cd pon-fleet-upgrader
npm install
npm start
```
This launches an Electron window. Use `npm run check` to syntax-check all
source files without launching the app.
## Bank strategy
MCMS stores firmware in two slots per ONU (`FW Bank Files[0/1]`,
`FW Bank Versions[0/1]`) with `FW Bank Ptr` pointing at the active one.
| Current `FW Bank Ptr` | Tool writes to slot | Why |
|-----------------------|---------------------|-----|
| `0` | `1` | Don't overwrite active image |
| `1` | `0` | Don't overwrite active image |
| `65535` (unset) | `1` | Matches Procedure 7 example; slot 0 stays as factory fallback |
The tool computes this per ONU and buckets the selection by target slot
when submitting a bulk task (MCMS's `AUTO-TASK-CFG.Task Details.ONU.FW
Bank Ptr` accepts a single slot number, so each bucket becomes one task).
## Safety notes
- **Always validate on one ONU first.** Select a single device, run in
per-ONU mode, confirm the ONU recovers on slot N before using bulk
task on the rest of the fleet.
- **Don't blank the active slot.** The planner preserves both slots'
existing `Files`/`Versions` and only writes the target slot.
- **Scheduled start is UTC.** The datetime-local picker converts from
your local timezone to UTC before submitting the `AUTO-TASK-CFG`.
- **Leave the session short.** Log out when done — MCMS sessions don't
auto-expire and a stale cookie on a shared workstation is an
unnecessary exposure.
## Filters
The left panel supports:
- **Name / address contains** — substring match over
`ONU.Name`, `ONU.Address`, and `_id`
- **PON mode** — server-side Mongo filter on `ONU.PON Mode`
- **Active version matches** — substring match on the version string in
whichever slot `FW Bank Ptr` points to
- **Model / version family** — substring match across *both* slots'
version strings, useful for fleet cuts like `EV051` (all Everest 5.1x)
The server-side projection is narrow (serial, name/address, PON mode, bank
state). The full ONU-CFG is only re-fetched at plan time.

## Known limitations
- The `/v1/onus/<id>/upgrade/status/` path used by the original question
isn't part of the dev-guide-documented surface; if your MCMS returns
404 for it, fall back to polling `GET /v1/onus/configs/<id>/` and
watching `FW Bank Versions` + `FW Bank Ptr` change.
- Progress of a bulk task is reported back by MCMS in its own task
status collection — the tool currently submits and then leaves
monitoring to the PON Manager UI. Follow-up work: poll
`/v3/tasks/states/<taskId>/`.
- No offline mode / cached fleet snapshot. Each `Load fleet` hits the
API.
- PATCH endpoints aren't used — MCMS requires full-document PUTs for
`ONU-CFG` updates (the dev guide is explicit about this).
