bcm 50 r1

[endlesswinter]

After a lightning storm, bcm was reported to have no outdialing on copper trunks. The trunks are on a GATM 8 in an expansion cabinet. I swapped out the trunk card and everything seemed fine for a few days. Now the dialing problem has come back and also this time when you press VM f981 it says no resource. There where a few DSP critical alarms. A reboot of the system has everthing working. For now.... Could this be a hard drive going bad?

It might be worth finding out if you can do a few backups?. You can always send me a copy as I have a test BCM 50 release 1 and 2 to play with.

So far, I've replaced around 10 hard drives and they were all BCM 50 release 1 versions.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

I'll try a back up. Do you think a harddrive would cause the dialing problem? I grab a line and hear dialtone, press the keys but it just wont break dial tone. I Tested the lines with a but set of course and they do work fine.

I can back up. How can I determine HD failure from that?

You can sebd me your backup copy or anyone else who has a BCM 50 release 1 system. A restore should prove if the backup is OK.
How large was the backup?.
