Preparing for the upgrade to R3.1 on-site
Issue 9.1 June 2006 607
Before you upgrade the primary controller, you need to shut down Communication Manager on
the LSPs. This prevents the phones and other endpoints attached to the G700 from trying to
register with the LSPs while you are upgrading the primary controller.
1. Open a telnet session on the S8300 (LSP).
2. Telnet to the LSP.
3. At the command line, type stop -acfn and press Enter.
The S8300 (LSP) shuts down Communication Manager.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: The LSP’s Communication Manager must remain shut down while you upgrade
the primary controller. When you complete the primary controller upgrade, run
save translation on the primary controller before restarting Communication
Manager on the LSP. The save translations process will automatically cause the
G700’s endpoints to reregister with the primary controller.
After the primary controller has been upgraded, you need to restart the LSPs.
To disable alarm origination
If alarm origination is enabled during the upgrade, unnecessary alarms will be sent to the
Operations Support System (OSS) destination number(s). Even if you selected Suppress
Alarm Origination when you logged in, alarm origination will be automatically re-enabled when
the system reboots after the software upgrade. Use this procedure to prevent alarm origination
from being re-enabled after reboot.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you do not disable alarm origination, the system can generate alarms during
the upgrade, resulting in unnecessary trouble tickets.
1. Logoff the SAT session.
2. At the command prompt, type almenable -d n -s n, where
-d n sets the dialout option to neither (number)
-s n disables SNMP alarm origination
Note:
Note: Be sure to reset alarm origination after the upgrade.
3. Type almenable (without any options) to verify the alarm origination status.
You should see:
incoming: enable
Dial Out Alarm Origination: neither
SNMP Alarm Origination: n
