Description of Upgrade
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.
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.
