Activating the Weighted GTT Load Sharing Feature

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

The feature access key for the Weighted 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 provided. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The issued part number of the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature, 893017001.

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 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 (with the temporary feature access key).

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 Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature, 893017001.

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

Once the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature has been turned on, it be cannot be turned off.

The status of the features in the EAGLEis shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

The Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature requires that SMs or E5-SM4G cards are installed and provisioned in the EAGLE. SMs and E5-SM4G cards are shown by the entries SM in the TYPE column and VSCCP in the APPL column of the rtrv-card output.

Before the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature can be enabled, the GTT feature must be turned on. The state of the GTT feature can be verified using the rtrv-feat command.

Display the status of the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The following is an example of the possible output.

Zero entries found.

The following features have expired temporary keys:

Feature Name              Partnum
Zero entries found.

If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled and turned on, no further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.

If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled and but not turned on, skip steps 2 through 8 and go to step 9.

If the Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled, go to step 2.

Verify that the GTT feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command. If the GTT feature is on, the GTT field should be set to on.

Note:
The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-feat command description in Commands User's Guide.

If the GTT feature is on, shown by the entry GTT = on in the rtrv-feat command output in step 2, go to step 3.

If the GTT feature is off, perform Adding a Service Module to turn the GTT feature on and add the required number of SMs or E5-SM4G cards. After Adding a Service Module is performed, skip step 3 and go to step 4.
Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command. The Weighted GTT Load Sharing feature requires that DSMs or E5-SM4G cards running the VSCCP application are in the database. This is an example of the possible output.

There are two types of service modules, SMs or E5-SM4G cards running the VSCCP application.

SMs and E5-SM4G cards are shown by the entries SM in the TYPE column and VSCCP in the APPL column.

If SMs or E5-SM4G cards 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 4 through 7, and go to step 8. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, steps 4 through 7 must be performed.
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

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 5, 6, and 7, and go to step 8. If the serial number is correct but not locked, skip steps 5 and 6, and go to step 7. 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 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).
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
