6.1 corruption on fiber module realignment 1

[phonesrus]

Last week I realigned a MICS 6.1 that had 4 analog expansion modules in order to add 3 additional mod's. I put mod 3 and 4 in series and 5 and 6, making 16 analog on fiber port 3 and another 16 on port 4. When I restarted the system it scattered the DN and port #'s across the four modules at random. I shut the system down and added a fifth analog and sixth digital and a line mod on eight. The corruption remained on the first 4 but 5,6 and 8 came up normal. I was forced to completely Initalize and reprogram the entire system from scratch. ?? is there a way to do this without the corruption, or should I have re-inited from the beginning

was autoset relocation on

If i lived in colorado i would be skiing already.But i dont so its a long 4 weeks till opening day.

No! Auto relocation is never on,for any switches I administer unless I turn it on for moves. Also when I tried a restore from a backup, it failed stating that there was corruption. That was the point I decided to init the switch.

I would say you need to power down and place all cards in and power up and ini the system and start over,I know that this dosent sound like a good idea.It will make your day when you are done ...

You should be OK to move station modules with set relocation on or off. Trunk modules do not relocate.
The system was probably already corrupt before you started. Perhaps a reboot before you moved the modules may have cleaned the corruption before you started moving things around.
Are you referring to ASM modules in your post?
ASM's are eight port modules and can be daisy chained for a total of sixteen ports per module.

I do not believe the system was corrupt because we had just finished testing all extensions. This is a new install for an offshore oil platform under construction. I had programmed everything about 6 weeks ago and were was waiting for the shipyard to bring the modules together for final testing before being loaded on to barges. We had to do a specialized trunk related paging application and after testing that and all stations we proceded with the changes and additions. When we started the testing after the changes we found the corruption, when the stations didn't match their locations from a few hours before. I went into maint. and found that DN's and Ports were out of place; ie; ports that should have been on module 4 were shown on mod 3 and mod 5. The port/DN relationship was correct, but the ports themselves were showing up as existing on the wrong modules, how or why I do not know, but it existed and occured across all 4 ASM's.

Long as the system seems to have corrupt data i would place all mods in right place and then power up ini the unit and start over,sounds like a pain but once the currupt is there thats the only way to rid your self if this...
