Upgrading hosted system software
To upgrade a hosted Compact Remote ATM DSLAM system, you must first upgrade
the host's software by following the upgrade instructions for the new software
version. For a typical upgrade, propagation of the new software to remote shelves can
occur automatically, as described in "Typical hosted system upgrade procedure" on
page 6-2. This section explains related issues.
Note Always check the specific upgrade instructions for a new software version.
This section describes general procedure and requirements.

Required steps before initializing NVRAM in the host

Although you do not normally need to clear nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM) for an upgrade, if the upgrade requires this step, follow the instructions in
this section.
Before you initialize the host system's NVRAM, you must save basic configuration
settings to the default.cfg file in the system's flash memory, to enable the system to
restore a minimal configuration. For background information about default.cfg, see
the Stinger Administration Guide.
Caution
in default.cfg to allow the master controller to restore the hosted system
framework and recognize the remote shelves. Otherwise, when you load the saved
configuration file after clearing NVRAM, the host will drop connection profiles with
nailed groups that do not yet exist in the system.
