Explanations and error recoveries to the above steps are as follows:
Feature Interactions
System Restarts
An upgrade will cause a system restart. Simplex systems will result in a level-4
restart. Duplex system will undergo a level-2 SPE-interchange after the standby
is upgraded through a level-4 restart.
INITIATING SOFTWARE
UPGRADE:
This indicates that the system is proceeding to do a
software upgrade.
MEM-CARD CHECKSUM: If the card-mem checksum fails, the system will reboot
without performing an upgrade. Retry the command with
another software card-mem.
REPROGRAMMING MTP: If the MTP programming fails, the Manager I will not be
functional anymore. So the rest of the upgrade (if it occurs)
will not be visible. Nor will the MTP be present to monitor
the health of the processor. The only recovery procedure
is to power down and power up the system since the
presence of a software card-mem will cause a software
upgrade.
ERASING MEMORY: The rest of the memory is being erased.
REPROGRAMMING SPE: This shows the status of the reprogramming. A total of 7
Mbytes has to be reprogrammed. If the reprogramming
fails in the midst of upgrade, it will take the system into
SPE-down
mode. In this mode, the system technician can
only reset the system or display alarms. The system
should be reset, and another upgrade attempt will be
done due to the detection of a software card-mem in the
system.
FLASH TEXT CHECKSUM: If the checksum fails, the software may or may not be
healthy. But it will try to run for as long as it can until further
system reset due to system technician intervention.
REPLACE SOFTWARE
MEM-CARD WITH
TRANSLATION
MEM-CARD:
The system technician is prompted by a beep and this text
string on the Manager I to replace the software card-mem
with the translation card-mem. The system boots without
translation if the replacement is not done within 2 minutes.
The only way to recover from this is to replace the
card-mem and issue a
reset system 3
to read in the
translations again.
UPGRADE COMPLETE: This indicates that the software upgrade is completed.
