System management menu
Purpose
The System Management menu provides options for users and administrators to manage
the system. This menu contains following choices:
Initialize and Upgrade
•
DB Management
•
Network Time Protocol
•
Initialize and upgrade
This menu allows the user to manage the upgrading of the system. This menu contains the
following two choices:
Initialize System - For a general upgrading of the software.
•
– With New Release
– With Old Release
In-Service Upgrade - For a software refresh.
•
Initialize system with new release
This option starts the background activity on the NE to perform the actual switch over
from the current release to the new release. This option returns a completion message to
the user when the background activity is successfully started.
A copy of the primary database is generated during its execution and used for database
conversion in the upgrade processing. This backup is also used to revert to the old release
database when the Initialize System With Old Release option is issued after the system is
upgraded to the new release.
During the switch over process the system performs an FLC switch. At this point all TL1
sessions are terminated.
During the switch over process the system performs POWER-ON reset on the matrix
modules and download new FPGA images on IO cards and matrix cards if required.
If the activation of the new release fails, the system reverts to the old release and old
database.
Select System Management -> Initialize and Upgrade -> Initialize System -> With
New Release as shown in
