Enabling the XGTT Table Expansion Feature

This procedure is used to enable the XGTT Table Expansion feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.

The feature access key for the XGTT Table Expansion feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.

This feature allows the user to increase the maximum number of entries in the global title translation table from 269,999 entries to either 400,000 or 1,000,000 entries. Each level of increase has its own part number.

Increase to 400,000 entries – part number 893006101
Increase to 1,000,000 entries – part number 893006110

This feature requires that the following hardware is installed:

E5-MCAP cards are installed in card locations 1113 and 1115.
For a maximum of 400,000 entries, all service modules in the EAGLE can be E5-SM4G cards.
For a maximum of 1,000,000 entries, all service modules in the EAGLE must be E5-SM8G-B or SLIC cards.

The service module requirements are dependent on any other GTT-related features that are enabled. Perform Adding a Service Module to make sure that the proper hardware is in place to support the XGTT Table Expansion feature.

The XGTT Table Expansion feature requires that the Global Title Translation (GTT) feature is enabled with the chg-feat command using the gtt=on parameters.

Note:

Once the Global Title Translation feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

The Global Title Translation feature must be purchased before it can be turned on. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the Global Title Translation feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the XGTT Table Expansion feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key provided. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. The feature access key is optional.

:partnum – The issued part number of the XGTT Table Expansion feature, for 400,000 entries – 893006101, for 1,000,000 entries – 893006110

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE 5 is on-site, with the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

This feature cannot be temporarily enabled.

Once this feature is enabled with the enable-ctrl-feat command (for either 400,000 or 1,000,000 entries), the feature is also activated. This feature cannot be disabled with the chg-ctrl-feat command. The chg-ctrl-feat command cannot be used with this procedure.

Display the status of the XGTT Table Expansion feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

The following is an example of the possible output.

If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows that the feature is permanently enabled for the desired quantity or for a quantity that is greater than the desired quantity, no further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.

If the quantity shown for the XGTT Table Expansion feature is less than the desired quantity, skip steps 2 through 5, and go to step 6.

Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command.

The XGTT Table Expansion feature requires that service modules are in the database. This is an example of the possible output.

Service modules

are shown by the entries SCCP or VSCCP in APPL column. If the rtrv-card output shows no service modules, Perform Adding a Service Module to add the necessary service modules.

If the rtrv-card output shows that the type of service module required to support the XGTT Table Expansion feature is not in the database, perform Adding a Service Module to make sure that the proper service modules are in place to support the XGTT Table Expansion feature.

Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.
Note:
If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in step 1 shows any controlled features, or if the XGTT Table Expansion feature is enabled for a quantity that is less than the desired quantity, skip steps 3 through 6, and go to step 7. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, steps 3 through 6 must be performed.

This is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
System serial number = nt00001231

System serial number is not locked.

rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Command Completed.
```
Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.
Note:
If the serial number is correct and locked, skip steps 4, 5, and 6, and go to step 7. If the serial number is correct but not locked, skip steps 4 and 5, and go to step 6. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, this feature cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact My Oracle Support (MOS) to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

For this example, enter this command.

ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s correct serial number>

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify that the serial number entered into step 4 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.
This is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
System serial number = nt00001231

System serial number is not locked.

rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Command Completed.
```
If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat steps 4 and 5 and re-enter the correct serial number.
Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in step 3, if the serial number shown in step 3 is correct, or with the serial number shown in step 5, if the serial number was changed in step 4, and with the lock=yes parameter.
For this example, enter this command.

ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s serial number>:lock=yes

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Enable the XGTT Table Expansion feature for the desired quantity with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number corresponding to the new quantity of entries for the GTT table.
For this example, enter one of these commands.

To increase the number of entries in the GTT table to 400,000, enter this command.

enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893006101

To increase the number of entries in the GTT table to 1,000,000, enter this command.

enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893006110

When the enable-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENABLE-CTRL-FEAT: MASP B - COMPLTD
```

Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command with the part number specified in step 7.

Enter one of these commands.

rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893006101

The following is an example of the possible output.
