7.3.11 Changing the State of a Subsystem Application

The procedures in this section are used to set the state of an existing subsystem application to either online or offline using the chg-ss-appl command. The chg-ss-appl command uses the following parameters..

:appl – the application type, LNP

:nstat - the new state of the subsystem application.

The online or offline status of the subsystem application is shown in the STAT field of the rtrv-ss-appl command output.

The rept-stat-lnp command displays the operating state (in or out of service) of the subsystem.

If the subsystem application is to be taken online, the subsystem application must be offline.

If the subsystem application is to be taken offline, the subsystem application must be online. The subsystem must be taken out of service (OOS-MT-DSBLD) with the inh-map-ss command before it can be taken offline.

7.3.11.1 Taking the Subsystem Application Online

Use the procedure in this section to take the subsystem application online.

1. Verify the state of the subsystem application - online or offline, by entering the rtrv-ss-appl command.

       APPL   SSN  STAT
       LNP    11   offline            
    
       SS-APPL TABLE IS 25% FULL (1 OF 4)
   ;

   If the LNP subsystem is online, this procedure does not need to be performed.
2. Display the operating status of the subsystem by entering the rept-stat-lnp command.
3. Take the subsystem application online. Enter the chg-ss-appl command with the nstat=online parameter.
   chg-ss-appl:appl=lnp:nstat=online
4. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ss-appl command.

       SS-APPL TABLE IS 25% FULL (1 OF 4)
   ;

5. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.
   The following messages 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.
   BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.

7.3.11.2 Taking the Subsystem Application Offline

Use the procedure in this section to take a subsystem application offline.

1. Verify the online or offline state of the subsystem application, by entering the rtrv-ss-appl command.

       tekelecstp 08-07-25 08:02:22 EST  EAGLE 39.2.0 
       APPL   SSN  STAT
       LNP    11   online            
    
       SS-APPL TABLE IS 25% FULL (1 OF 4)
   ;

   If the LNP subsystem application is offline, this procedure does not need to be performed.
2. Verify the operating status of the subsystem by entering the rept-stat-sccp command.
3. Place the subsystem out of service. Specify the subsystem number displayed in the output in 1.
   inh-map-ss:ssn=11

   ;

4. Verify that the subsystem is out of service, by entering the rept-stat-lnp command.
5. Take the subsystem offline. Enter the chg-ss-appl command with the nstat=offline parameter.
   chg-ss-appl:appl=inp:nstat=offline
6. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ss-appl command.

   ;

7. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.
   The following messages 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.
   BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED): MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
