Upgrading an Existing G700 with an S8300 — R1.x to R2.0
On-site Preparation for the Upgrade
Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300 223
December 2003
To stop Communication Manager on an LSP:
1Open a telnet session on the S8300 (LSP).
2Telnet to the LSP.
3At the command line, type stop -acfn and press Enter.
The S8300 (LSP) shuts down Communication Manager.
CAUTION:
The LSP’s Communication Manager must remain shutdown while you upgrade the
primary Controller. When you complete the primary controller upgrade, run save
translation on the primary controller before restarting Communication Manager on the
LSP. The save translations process will automatically cause the G700’s endpoints to
reregister with the primary controller.
After the primary controller has been upgraded, you need to restart the LSPs.
Disable Alarm Origination
If alarm origination is enabled during the upgrade, unnecessary alarms will be sent to the Operations
Support System (OSS) destination number(s). Even if you selected "Suppress Alarm Origination" when
you logged in, alarm origination will be automatically re-enabled when the system reboots after the
software upgrade. Use this procedure to prevent alarm origination from being re-enabled after reboot.
CAUTION:
If you do not disable Alarm Origination, the system can generate alarms during the
upgrade, resulting in unnecessary trouble tickets.
To prevent alarm outcalling:
1Logoff the SAT session
2At the command prompt, type almenable -d n -s n, where
-d n sets the dialout option to neither (number)
-s n disables SNMP alarm origination
NOTE:
Be sure to reset alarm origination after the upgrade.
3Type almenable (without any options) to verify the alarm origination status. You should see:
incoming: enable
Dial Out Alarm Origination: neither
SNMP Alarm Origination: N
