Chapter 1 General Troubleshooting

Restoring the Database and Default Settings

Figure 1-21 Reinitialization Tool in UNIX

Step 4 If the node you are reinitializing is an ENE in a proxy server network, enter the IP address of the GNE in the GNE IP field. If not, leave it blank.

Step 5 Enter the node name or IP address of the node you are reinitializing in the Node IP field (Figure 1-21).

Step 6 Verify that the Re-Init Database, Upload Package, and Confirm check boxes are checked. If any are not checked, click that check box.

Step 7 In the Search Path field, verify that the path to the CISCO15454 folder on the CD drive is listed.

Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you keep different node databases in separate folders. This is because the reinit tool chooses the first product-specific software package in the specified directory if you use the Search Path field instead of the Package and Database fields. You might accidentally copy an incorrect database if multiple databases are kept in the specified directory.

Caution Before you perform the next step, be sure you are uploading the correct database. You cannot reverse the upload process after you click Yes.

Step 8 Click Go.

Step 9 A confirmation dialog box opens (Figure 1-20 on page 1-45). Click Yes.

Step 10 The status bar at the bottom of the window displays Complete when the node has activated the software and uploaded the database.

Note The Complete message only indicates that the XTC successfully uploaded the database, not that the database restore is successful. The XTC then tries to restore the database after it reboots.

Step 11 If you are logged into CTC, close the browser window and disconnect the straight-through LAN cable from the RJ-45 (LAN) port on the XTC or on the hub or switch to which the ONS 15327 is physically connected.

Step 12 Reconnect your straight-through LAN cable to the LAN port and log back into CTC. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.
