Check Upgrade Readiness
The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) includes the check-upgrade-readiness ACLI command, which presents system information arranged to clearly tell you if you need to perform any tasks before you upgrade.
The check-upgrade-readiness command performs system diagnostics and configuration checks to generate a system status report. The command provides you with compatibility information with respect to new software version and boot loader version, boot parameter validity checks, NIU version, FPGA versions and so forth. In addition, the command displays system status information, such as CPU and memory utilization, that could impact the upgrade.
For HA deployments, the check-upgrade-readiness command provides a warning to the user if they are performing the command on the active and displays the application processes that are not synchronized.
Oracle recommends examining the output of this command at least twice:
- Prior to upgrade—The command can display potential risks with the upgrade.
- After upgrade—The system runs the command automatically when booting to a new software version to identify any component version incompatibilities. If the system finds problems, it stops the boot process and reboots to the prior version.
The command has a brief and a verbose output. The abbreviated output shows basic information and lists any issues.
