Recovery Procedure for Cards With Flash Memory (Except HMUX and HIPR)

Caution:

This procedure causes the identified card to reload, and should be used only during periods of low traffic or the maintenance window.
  1. Enter the command to display the card locations running the GPL identified in the output.
    rept-stat-gpl:gpl=xxxxxxx

    where xxxxxxx is the GPL identified in the output.

    Example of the output.
    tekelecstp 03-07-03 16:53:23 EST  EAGLE5 35.0.0-55.0.0
    GPL Auditing  ON
    GPL        CARD      RUNNING            APPROVED      TRIAL
    BLCPLD     1203      025-015-001 ALM   025-025-000   -----------

    Note:

    Mismatched GPLs should occur only during upgrades or running a trial GPL.
  2. Verify GPL Auditing is ON. If not enter the command:
    chg-gpl:audit=on
  3. Enter the command to deactivate all links on the card.
    dact-slk:loc=xxxx:link=y

    where xxxx is the card location identified in the output and y is the link.

  4. Enter the command to change the state of the appropriate card to the out of service - maintenance disabled state:
    inh-card:loc=xxxx:force=yes

    where xxxx is the card location stenciled on the shelf of the EAGLE 5 ISS.

    Example of the output:
    RLGHNCXA03W  00-06-05  11:11:28 EDT  EAGLE 35.0.0
    Card has been inhibited.
  5. Enter the command to load and activate the approved GPL onto the inhibited card:
    flash-card:code=appr:loc=xxxx:force=yes

    where xxxx is the card location used in the previous step. The optional force=yes is used to force the command to work on an IS-NR card. Links provisioned on the card are inhibited during command execution. The card and inhibited links are restored to their previous state when the command is completed.

    Example of the output using card location 1112:

        Command Completed.
  6. Enter the command to put the card that was inhibited in 4 back into service:
    alw-card:loc=xxxx

    where xxxx is the card location used in 4.

    Example of the output:
    RLGHNCXA03W  00-06-05  11:11:28 EDT  EAGLE 35.0.0
    Card has been allowed.

    Note:

    Allow the card to run for 5 minutes before continuing.
  7. Enter the command to activate all links on the card.
    act-slk:loc=xxxx:link=y

    where xxxx is the card location identified in the output and y is the link.

  8. Enter the command to verify all links on the card are active.
    rept-stat-slk:loc=xxxx:link=y

    where xxxx is the card location identified in the output and y is the link.

  9. Enter the command to verify the approved GPLs match the running GPLs:
    rept-stat-gpl:gpl=xxxxxxx

    where xxxxxxx is the GPL identified in the output.

  10. If the GPLs match, you have completed this procedure.

    If the GPLs do not match, continue with the following step.

  11. Repeat this procedure for each card that shows ALM in the output.
  12. If the same card shows in an alarm condition after executing the procedure, please contact My Oracle Support (MOS).
