Activating the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature with the enable-ctrl-feat and chg-ctrl-feat commands.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature by specifying the part number and feature access key for this feature with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key supplied by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. If you do not have the feature access key for the proxy point code quantity you wish to enable, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number for the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature, 893019801.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires a valid serial number for the EAGLE to be configured in the database, 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 is on-site, by using 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).

The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature, 893019801.

:status=on – used to turn the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature on.

Caution:

Once the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

The status of this feature in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

After this feature is enabled and turned on, a maximum of six routes in a routeset can be assigned the same relative cost value.

  1. Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    The following features have been permanently enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum    Status  Quantity
    Command Class Management  893005801  on      ----
    LNP Short Message Service 893006601  on      ----
    Intermed GTT Load Sharing 893006901  on      ----
    XGTT Table Expansion      893006101  on      4000000
    XMAP Table Expansion      893007710  on      3000
    Large System # Links      893005901  on      1500
    Routesets                 893006401  on      6000
    HC-MIM SLK Capacity       893012707  on      64
    
    The following features have been temporarily enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum   Status  Quantity     Trial Period Left
    Zero entries found.
    
    The following features have expired temporary keys:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum
    Zero entries found.
    

    If the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is enabled and turned on, the entry 6-Way LS on Routesets is shown in the permanently enabled section of the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. If the status of the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is on, no further action can be performed.

    If the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is enabled but not turned on, continue the procedure with 7.

    If the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is not enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

    Note:

    If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in this step shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with Oracle. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 2 through 5 must be performed.
  2. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    System serial number = nt00001231
    
    System serial number is not locked, yet.
    

    Note:

    If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with Oracle. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with 5. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact the Customer Care Center 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).
  3. 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 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
    
  4. Verify that the serial number entered into 3 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    System serial number = nt00001231
    
    System serial number is not locked, yet.
    

    If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat 3 and 4 and re-enter the correct serial number.

  5. Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 2, if the serial number shown in 2 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 4, if the serial number was changed in 3, 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 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
    
  6. Enable the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature and the feature access key.

    For this example, enter this command.

    enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893019801:fak=<6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature access key>

    Note:

    A temporary feature access key cannot be specified to enable the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature.

    Note:

    The values for the feature access key (the fak parameter) are provided by Oracle. If you do not have the feature access key for the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

    When the enable-ctrl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    ENABLE-CTRL-FEAT: MASP B - COMPLTD
    
  7. Turn the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature on by entering the chg-ctrl-feat command with the part number used in Oracle and the status=on parameter.

    Caution:

    Once the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

    For this example, enter this command.

    chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893019801:status=on

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    CHG-CTRL-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD
    
  8. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand with the routeset quantity part number specified in 7.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893019801

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    The following features have been permanently enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum    Status  Quantity
    6-Way LS on Routesets     893019801  on      ----
    
    The following features have been temporarily enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum    Status  Quantity     Trial Period Left
    Zero entries found.
    
    The following features have expired temporary keys:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum
    Zero entries found.
    
  9. Back up the new changes, using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

    These messages should appear; the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

    BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
