Boot Mgc To The Gold Image - Nortel Communication Server 1000E Maintenance Manual

The Enhanced Maintenance feature provides the following:
•
Enable patches to automatically survive a sysload.
•
Enable patches on nonresident programs.
•
Records all patches in the system.
•
Enable data cartridges to be shipped with preloaded patches.
If a problem occurs with a patch, the CPU sends system messages, with
the mnemonic EHM, to the system terminal or the history file.
Patch conflict issues can arise when you load individual patches or deplist
patches. When you encounter a patch conflict, patch activation is aborted.
CS 1000 Release 7.0 introduces a mechanism to handle conflicts. When
you activate a patch, if any obsolete patches are in service, then all those
patches are removed from the system.
Note:
when the Deplist is empty.
Maintenance enhancement allows a technician to upgrade a site using
the same software generic with new or replacement patches that are
preloaded on the disk. Also, you can selectively dump specified patches
from core memory to disk. You can use the dump patch facility for this
purpose.
A maximum of 50 dummy globals are allowed for patches, instead of the
normal five. Use of these globals are tracked, and you are given warning
messages if attempting to use them for another patch.
