Performing Migration

3.Changes to site profiles are frequently needed because site data is extracted from device profiles fields which may be inaccurate or incomplete. The results may be the following:

•Multiple site names (and profiles) for a single site.

Corrective Action: use the Edit Device Profile (eddp) command to use a single site name for all devices at a given location. Then delete the site profile using the Delete Site Profile (dlsp) command for all other site names no longer used at that location.

•Sites positioned at the unnamed site due to an invalid site contact phone number.

Corrective Action: using the network map, examine the object list at the unnamed site. These sites can be repositioned using the Edit Site Profile (edsp) command to provide correct city code and country code data (or latitude/longitude data). When all site profiles have been updated, run the Create Network Map (crnm) command. Then bring up a new network map. The sites will appear repositioned.

4.Run the Facility Inventory Report (fir) or the List Facility Profile (lsfp) command to list facilities having the facility types mayexist. The mayexist cases result from ambiguous information about connections between devices. Facility profiles which do not correspond to actual existing facilities may be removed using the Delete Facility Profile (dlfp) command.

5.Run the List Device Profile (lsdp) command to list unmanaged device profiles having the device type bridge.

Bridges are created automatically by the migration utility to describe a multipoint circuit. They are assumed to be colocated with the upstream device, while they may actually be located elsewhere.

•Obtain a list of multipoint bridges run the List Device Profile (lsdp) command to select devices having the device type bridge.

•To obtain a list of facilities connected to bridges, run a Facility Inventory Report (fir) or a List Facility Profile (lsfp) command to search for facility types ctrltobr (control to bridge) or brtotrib (bridge to tributary).

•Use the Edit Device Profile (eddp) command to correct the site location for those bridges that are not colocated with the control modem. Facility profiles having these bridges as endpoints will be automatically updated to reflect the change in site name.

•If a bridge does not actually exist, use the Edit Facility Profile (edfp) command to edit all facility profiles associated with the tributaries. The facilities to be edited can be selected by locating the bridge on the network map and clicking on each facility connected to it. The Edit Facility Profile (edfp) command can be activated directly from the network map via the menu presented for each facility. For each facility connected to a tributary device, update the Device Name or Device Address field for the bridge endpoint to show the actual control modem instead. Then use the Delete Facility Profile (dlfp) command to delete the facility connecting the control modem to the bridge.

6.Device names are displayed on the Release 4.2 network map rather than addresses. You may wish to edit device profiles to incorporate the device address into the name. If there is no device name, the system will assign one.
