On-site Preparation for the Upgrade

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:
If you do not disable Alarm Origination, the system can generate alarms during the
upgrade, resulting in unnecessary trouble tickets.
To prevent alarm outcalling:
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:
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
Get IA770 (AUDIX) Data and Stop IA770
(if IA770 is being used)
If IA770 is being used, you need to collect some data, leave a test message, and shut down IA770 before
backing up the files.
1 To test IA770 after the migration, write down the number of a test voice mailbox, or create one if
none exists. Also write down the number of the IA770 hunt group.
2 Leave a message on the test mailbox that will be retrieved after the migration.
3 Telnet to 192.11.13.6 and log in as craft or dadmin.
4 Type stop -s Audix and press Enter to shut down AUDIX.
The shutdown will take a few minutes.
5 Type watch /VM/bin/ss and press Enter to monitor the shutdown.
When the shutdown is complete, you will see only the voicemail and audit processes. For
example:
voicemail:(10)
audit http:(9)
Press Ctrl+C to break out of the watch command.
