Upgrade Step Each step in the upgrad e execution is display ed after it occurs:
1. disable maintenanc e: This prevents periodic maintena nce from
interfering with the upg rade (similar to the disable all command ).
2. save translation: save a copy of the c urrent translation to the primary
MSS dev ice
3. b usyout stand by p roce ssor: This b usies o ut the stand by SPE,
preventing spontaneous in terchanges while the new software load is
booted on the standb y processor. This also turns off memory
shadowing from active memor y to the standby.
4. translation load and reb oot standby: This causes the standb y
processor to load the b oot image and translation on its p rimary
devi ce. Th e SPE remai ns sta ndb y, and s tarts runnin g the Stand by
Maintenance Monitor (SMM).
5. change memory shad ow bounds: This adjusts the rang e of memory
transmitted from the active to the stand by SPE to include only the
information pertaining to ac tive calls so as to preserve stab le calls
across the interchange.
6. release standby p rocessor: This releases the standby SPE from
busyout, allowing resumption of hand shake and memory shadowing ,
with transfer of active call status to the stan dby.
7. refresh standby memory: The system waits for refresh to c omplete
and reports the result.
8. request an SPE interchange: An interchange is executed into the
standby SPE with the new load. If this step suc ceeds, the terminal is
logged off. Otherwise, a failure c ode is returned.
9. If the upgrade i s successful, Command successfully completed
is
not
displayed. Instead , the terminal is logged off the system and
must be logged in again.
Results Result of the execution of the correspond ing step: PASS, FAIL, or
SKIPPED. SK IPPED occ urs o nly fo r the s ave tra nslat ion st ep whe n the
current version is newer than the version on the p rimary MSS device.
