3.0 TO 3.1 SOFTWARE RELEASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE
Summary: This procedure details the steps required to upgrade the Release 3.0 system software
to Release 3.1. The user should have access to an X-terminal or similar workstation device that
will allow telnet sessions to the NMIC. The following items are prerequisites to this procedure:
• This procedure must be initiated with the slot 2 NMIC in the “Active” state.
• A Shelf Controller Card (SCC) must be present in slot 1 of every shelf. The
SCC does not have to be active but if only one SCC is present in any shelf, it
must be in slot 1.
• These UNIX based commands are case sensitive. Pay particular attention to
the upper and lower cases shown in the examples when entering commands.
All commands are written for a UNIX system. If the user is using a PC for the
file transfers, appropriate changes should be made.
• If this Cellworx system has two NMICs, both NMICs should be in the system
with EIMs in place and Ethernet connectivity provided to the workstation
used for the upgrade.
• It is recommended that the user be familiar with all steps of the upgrade
process before beginning.
2 DELETE INCOMPLETE CONNECTIONS
The software upgrade procedure cannot be performed if the system has any incomplete
connections. Before beginning, open the "Connection List" screen in the CellworxVision
GUI and verify that for each connection type there are no incomplete connections. Verify
this for VP-VP, VC-VC, CES-VC, CES-CES, VP Multicast, and VC Bundled Multicast
connection types. If you do find any incomplete connections, then you must either delete
them or complete them.
Note: Failure to delete incomplete connections prior to attempting the software upgrade
procedure can result in irreversible database corruption.
3 PLACE SYSTEM INTO STEADY STATE
Verify the system is in steady state prior to proceeding with the software upgrade
procedure, i.e., verify that for each protection group the working card is in the active state.
