System Description of Upgrade
Simplex (Standard
reliability)
The command verifies that a software card-mem is
present and then, if present, proceeds to reprogram the
flash memory and perform a level-4 restart. During the
restart of the system, the system technician is prompted
to replace the software card-mem with the translation
card-mem. Service is provided upon completion of the
system restart. Service down time is 5-12 minutes.
Duplex (High or
Critical reliability)
The command verifies that a software card-mem is
present in the standby SPE, programs the flash memory,
resets the standby SPE, and prompts the system
technician to replace the software card-mem with the
translation card-mem. An interchange of SPEs is
performed upon completion of a successful standby
upgrade. At the same time, the old active SPE is
upgraded automatically with the new software through
similar swapping of card-mems. The service disruption
time is 1-4 minutes.
