Software Rollback - Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MXC User Manual

Software Rollback

3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
Software rollback is supported by the NCC and ODU 300ep. It is not supported
by ODU 300hp.
Click the Advanced tab to view and activate rollback. Rollback should only be
used where an operational problem with the new load is evident and a return to
the previous software is desired.
• 9500 MXC maintains two software load spaces on the CompactFlash card.
• One load space is always reserved for the active (current) software load.
• The second load space is occupied by the inactive (previous) software
version unless replaced by a new load that is ready for activation.
The most recently replaced software load is held in reserve for rollback purposes,
but will be discarded where the Transfer Only option is selected - the transferred
software occupies the load space previously held by the most recently replaced
software.
• The software management screen indicates the active and inactive software
versions. The inactive version is the version available for rollback - or for
activation after a Transfer Only load selection.
• If the software held under rollback is not applicable to the selection, it will not
be activated. Such non-activation is advised in an on-screen window.
• Where rollback is selected, the Software State will indicate that rollback is in
progress. Software rollback is not supported by ODU 300hp.
• When a rollback has been executed the second load slot is occupied by what
was the active version before rollback.
