Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.

The feature access key for the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE 5, making the feature access key site-specific.

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

:fak – The feature access key generated by the feature access key generator. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The issued part number of the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature, 893015401.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE 5, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE 5 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 5’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 (with the temporary feature access key).

Once this feature is enabled, provisioning for this feature can be performed, but the feature will not work until the feature is turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command.

Once this feature has been enabled, the feature must be turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command. The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:

:partnum – The issued part number of the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature, 893015401.

:status=on – used to turn the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature on.

Once the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature has been turned on, it be can be turned off. For more information on turning the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature off, go to the Turning Off the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature procedure.

The status of the features in the EAGLE 5 is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

The Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature requires that DSMs or SLIC cards are installed and provisioned in the EAGLE.DSM cards are shown by the entry dsm in the TYPE column and vsccp in the APPL column of the rtrv-card output. SLIC cards are shown as type=dsm (in the odd numbered card slots) or type=slic (in the even numbered card slots), and appl=vsccp.

  1. Display the status of the controlled features by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The following is an example of the possible output.

    DSM (E5-SM4G and E5-SM8G-B) cards and SLIC cards run the VSCCP application.

    DSMs, E5-SM4G, and E5-SM8G-B cards are shown by the entries DSM in the TYPE column and VSCCP in the APPL column.

    If no service modules are shown in the rtrv-card output, perform Adding a Service Module to add DSMs to the EAGLE.

    If DSMs running the VSCCP application are in the EAGLE, go to step 4.

    Note:

    If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in step 1 shows any controlled features, 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.
  3. Display the serial number in the database with 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.

    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 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).
  4. Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.

    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
  5. 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.

  6. 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

    Note:

    If the ri=gt parameter will not be used for GTT (with the ent-/chg-gtt commands) or GTA (with the ent-/chg-gta commands) provisioning, or if the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in step 1 shows the Intermediate GTTLoad Sharing feature is enabled and turned on, skip this step and go to step 8.
  7. To use the ri=gt parameter with the GTT or GTA provisioning when the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature must be enabled and turned on.
    Perform the Activating the IGTTLS feature procedure to enable and turn on the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature.
  8. Enable the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature. Enter this command.

    enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893015401

    Note:

    The Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature cannot be enabled with a temporary feature access key.

    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

    Caution:

    Once the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, provisioning for Flexible Intermediate GTT Load Sharing, using the ent-mrn, dlt-mrn, chg-mrn, and rtrv-mrn commands, can be performed, but the EAGLE will not perform Flexible Intermediate GTT Load Sharing on GTT traffic requiring intermediate global title translation until the Flexible GTT Load Sharing is turned on in Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature .

    Caution:

    Once the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, provisioning for Flexible Final GTT Load Sharing, using the ent-map, dlt-map, chg-map, and rtrv-map commands, can be performed, but the EAGLE will not perform Flexible Final GTT Load Sharing on GTT traffic requiring final global title translation until the Flexible GTT Load Sharing is turned on in Activating the Flexible GTT Load Sharing Feature.
  9. Turn the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature on with the chg-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature and the status=on parameter. Enter this command.

    chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893015401:status=on

    When the chg-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CHG-CTRL-FEAT: MASP B - COMPLTD
  10. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand with the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature part number. Enter this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893015401

    The following is an example of the possible output.
