nortel option 11 unable to edd get "edd 007" 1

Enter the command edd clr and see if that works for you

I tried the edd clr still get the same edd 007

What kind of switch is and what kind of processor? The error says

EDD0007 Storage device write error.
Action: Attempt dump again.
Severity: Critical. Critical to Monitor: Yes. SNMP trap: Yes

It has a NTDK20HA and a NTTK25BA daughterboard rls 3.0 opt 11c

Oh boy, sounds like your daughter board may be toast.

Any possibilty of changing the SSC card and moving over the daughterboard resolving the problem?

Possible, remember these things boot from the daughter board. So if it's the SSC card then that may work. Don't forget to move the dongle too.

Since I don't have the software,If I change the daughterboard over to the new SSC card do you think there is any chance of corupting the daughterboard?

Man, I don't know. I have done this before but it's been a long time. I haven't worked on an SSC card for years. If I remember right if you can change out just the SSC card you will be fine. If it is in fact the daughter board then I cant remember the exact procedure for that. Maybe someone else will chime in with a procedure.

I have done an xbk to a file on my pc and have a pcmcia that I was going to try and do a bko.I have a 32mb pcmcia
is there anything I need to do other than stick it in slot a? antkind of format or anything like that? really worried about moving the daughterboard over.

The pcmcia card does need to be formatted a certain way. Not sure formatting it in your pc will work. There is a Nortel card programmer you can download.

INFORMATION ON HOW TO RESTORE THE "C" DRIVE
ON A OPTION 11C

THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN WRITTEN TO ENABLE THE ON SITE SWITCH MAINTENANCE ENGINEER TO BE ABLE TO RESTORE A CUSTOMERS DATABASE ON A OPTION 11C THAT HAS GONE FAULTY, WITHOUT THE NEED TO ORDER ANY STORES. JUST USING A LAPTOP / PCMCIA CARD..
THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST, SUCH AS INCONVIENCE,DOWN TIME, WRONG STORES ETC

THE PROBLEMS THAT WILL BE ENCOUNTERED WILL BE A SYSTEM THAT CANNOT LOAD UP I.E. THE CPU WILL KEEP ON RESETING & DOING A POWER UP WITH VARIOUS BUG MESSAGES. "UNABLE TO ACCESS THE STARTUP FILES ETC.

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT FIRST & IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO OBTAIN ALL THE REQUIRED SOFTWARE / KEYCODES DURING THE DAUGHTERBOARD FORMAT PROCESS AS IT WILL SAVE TIME ON SITE.

IN ORDER TO GO INTO MAINTENANCE MODE (FBUG), DO A SYSTEM POWER RESET.
YOU CAN ALSO (IF REQUIRED) FLIP OVER THE TOP DIPSWITCH ON THE CPU CARD. (150 BAUD RATE!). TO VIEW ANY EXTRA SYSTEM POWER UP TESTS.
LEAVE THE EXISTING BAUD RATE DIPSWITCH SETTING AS IT IS
DURING THE POWER UP EVENT YOU WILL BE GIVEN A PROMPT TO ENTER.
“CTRL - I”. AT THIS STAGE YOU MUST ENTER “CTRL - B” (TO ENTER FBUG).

These Instructions are based on V22.16 SOFTWARE & from having just done a System power reset.
(Later Meridian software will differ slightly in some of the prompts, but this method of database restore still remains the same)

IF YOU HAVE MANAGED TO COMPETE THIS PART OK THEN RESTORE THE
TOP DIPSWITCH (150 BAUD RATE) ON THE CPU CARD BACK OVER TO THE LEFT &THEN DO A SYSTEM POWER RESET.

DURING THE POWER UP SEQUENCE ENTER “CTRL - I”.

INSERT THE “PCMIA” SOFTWARE CARD WITH THE CORRECT VERSION ON IT,
IN THE “A” DRIVE. (LEFT HAND SLIDE SLOT!)
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE SOFTWARE ON YOUR P.C. / CD-ROM ETC, BUT YOU DO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS, THEN VISIT THE NORTEL WEB SITE

FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE AS NORMAL FOR INSTALLING THE NEW SOFTWARE.

ENTER THE KEYCODES & USE A DEFAULT CONFIGURATION DATABASE WHERE REQUIRED. (LOGIN IS "0000")

AFTER THE KEYCODES & SOFTWARE HAVE BEEN INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY, THE CPU SHOULD BOOT UP OK AFTER 20-30 MINUTES.

NOTE!
YOU MUST DO A WARM START AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FINISHED BOOTING UP!

THIS WILL PREVENT THE OPTION 11 CARRYING OUT ANY ROUTINES & DOING A DUMP
(Which will overwrite the customers database on the CPU!)

THE CUSTOMERS BACKUP DATABASE SHOULD STILL BE OK ON THE “Z” DRIVE, & YOU WILL NEED TO RESTORE IT BY GOING INTO LD 143 (ON TTY 0)“ UPGRADE / UTILITIES / RESTORE FROM FLASH ROM ETC”
("upgrade" c/r then"3" c/r followed by "1" c/r & "1" c/r Then use "Y" c/r)


THE CUSTOMERS DATABASE DUMP (USUALLY FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE!) WILL BE LOADED INTO THE MAIN MEMORY FROM THE INTERNAL BACKUP (CPU) DRIVE.


THIS CAN NOW BE CHECKED BY EXITING LD 143 & GOING INTO LD 43.
WITHIN LD 43, ENTER "DAT" & YOU SHOULD SEE THE INTERNAL BACKUP / MAIN AT THE SAME PARAMETERS. I.E.

>LD 43

.DAT
DATABASE ISSUE DATE(d/m/y)/TIME SIZE(recs) SEQNO
Main 2540B 06/11/2002 at 02:01:36 167 2169

IntBackup 2540B 06/11/2002 at 02:01:36 167 2169
PCMCIA database not accessible.
Current external backup is on PCMCIA drive B

ONCE THIS HAS BEEN DONE YOU MUST DO ANOTHER SYSTEM POWER RESET TO ACTIVATE & RESTORE THE CUSTOMERS DATABASE.


NOTE!

THIS TIME TTY LOGIN WILL NEED TO BE DONE USING THE CURRENT "KNOWN" PASSWORDS.

REMEMBER TO REINSTALL THE PATCHES FOR THAT SITE.

YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A FULL WORKING SYSTEM WITH A CUSTOMERS DATABASE CONFIGURATION THAT SHOULD BE AT WORST ONLY 24 HOURS OLD & THEREFORE IT WILL NEED VERY LITTLE OR NO ON SITE PROGRAMMING TO BE CARRIED OUT!
