Description
Simplex
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 between 5 to 12 minutes.
Duplex
The command verifies that a software card-mem is present in the standby SPE,
programs the flash memory, resets the standby SPE, and prompt the system
technician to replace the software card-mem with the translation card-mem as in
the simplex case. An interchange of SPE’s 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 is between 1 to 4 minutes, which is less disruptive than the
simplex case.
Defaults
None.
