Hi ,

I need some basic step for doing a upgrade for Md110 BC11 Sp9 to SP12.It so confusing ,if i try to read the instruction from ericsson Alex manual as well as the whole blude of material from the info channel.

Some question like
1. Do i need to do from Sp9 to 10 then 11 & 12.

2. or i can just do from SP9 straight to Sp12.

Currently, i have SAM 3.6 & MDtools with me.

Just show me a clear & simple steps will do.

Thank You in advance.

If the exchange allready has SP9, SP10 or SP11 installed it is recommended to use the SP12 CNA.

Note: It is strongly recommended to perform the upgrade during low traffic period.

The CNA files are used for automatic update by the SAM toolbox ESD (Ericsson Software Distributor) application (For more information see ESD manual). The following steps should be done:

Download SAM Toolbox 3.6 SP3 and install.

Print the number conversion data and save it to a file.

Copy all .cfg files, which are placed in subdirectories .. bc11xx.SP12 esd helpfile.*, to the Distribution files (.CFG, .INI) path defined in Options Settings.

Set up the job in the ESD by choosing menu item Job list>New>Job list file and follow the Job Wizard.

ESD tool can be used if the customer's PABX is entered into the customer database which is administrated by Customer Database Administrator.

Select file bc11sp9tosp12xx.cfg for updating from SP9 to SP12 or bc11sp10tosp12xx.cfg for updating from SP10 to SP12 or bc11sp11tosp12xx.cfg for updating from SP11 to SP12(xx stands for Application system version e.g. st for standard system).

Select Continue without firmware switching. Firmware switching shall be done after system update.

After Job Wizard is finished, choose menu item Update > Start. ESD will now update the system automatically.

Remove the number conversion from the system.

Remove Program Units NUH, NUD and QMP and replace with new version included in the CNA. For more information see file readme.txt in directory ..bc11xx.SP12 ManualActions SPxx in the CNA.

Insert the number conversion from the file.

Make a system dump.

Check the result of the system update with MD Inventory Tool. Reference .mcc is placed in subdirectories .. bc11xx.SP12 mcc. (For more information see MD Inventory Tool Manual)

3.2 Special implementation instruction
3.2.1 Service Pack 10
After loading SP10 TLP1 and MMP have to be restarted in all LIMs (OPERATIONAL DIRECTIONS 1/154 31-CNA 103 254 Restart of program unit).

For Application system Sweden all TMU boards have to be restarted to get confirmation tone active (OPERATIONAL DIRECTIONS 1/154 31-CNA 103 254 Restart of device boards). Deblocking of TMU boards must be done after restart (OPERATIONAL DIRECTIONS 2/154 31-CNA 103 256 Deblocking of device boards).

FR 96974 in Service Pack 10 requires that the route data of QSIG connection to Solidus eCare is set according to the configuration data given in the Open Application Server (OAS) System Manager Guide, chapter 3 - MD110 Configuration.
Especially the number types for the DEST (External destination) to the media server is important, recommended value for ADC ( Additional category for external traffic) = 14450xxxxxxx.

The alarm 357, jitter buffer overflow, is removed temporary in SP10. In SP9 there was a fault creating this alarm but the correction in SP10 for this fault does not work in a correct way. The problem with this alarm will be solved in SP11.

If using the automatic gatekeeper discovery function for IP telephone the following is applicable.
When more than one PABX is connected to the same LAN, the station identity parameter is used for the IP extension to know which of the PABXes to log on towards. If the station identity parameter is used, please follow the procedure below at upgrading from SP9 to SP10 to avoid problems in the IP telephones:

update the configuration file for the IP telephone with the new station identity.

upgrade the ASB 501 04 with SP10.

when the upgrading of ASB 501 04 is ready, next time the IP telephones re-boot, the telephones will use the configuration file with the correct station identity.

3.2.2 Service Pack 11
Applicable for IP installations

When more than one PABX is connected to the LAN, the station identity has been used in the IP telephones to know which PABX that the telephone shall register towards. This method is not valid and the gatekeeper identifier (GKID parameter in ASB 50104) is used instead.

Check in the previous configuration file for the IP telephone. If station identity is used define in the new configuration file the gatekeeper identity for the PABX to register towards. For the changed handling of the Gatekeeper identity in the IP telephone, see Installation instructions for DBC 413 (1531-DBC 413 01 Uen) and the description for the configuration file for DBC 413 01 in ALEX.

3.2.3 Service Pack 12
Same as the general implementation instruction.

You also want to update via ESD from sp12 to sp13 witch was released Nov.7 .
This ESD is only sp12-13 . To get from sp9 to 12 use the sp12-cna .

Hi SYAR2003,

Thank for the info.

I have never use ESD before.

just to confirm,
1. I can upgrade BC11 SP9 straight to SP13 ,is that right?

2. Estimate how many hur need to do the aboe upgrade?

3. How to verify it when is done?

4. BTW, i am also adding in 1 LIM without group switch. So is there any License needed? & do i need to replace the original INL from 1LIM to 2LIM???

5. Should i do the SP upgrade first or add LIM2 fist??

Thank You for the advise.

 

[SYAR2003]

1. No only via sp12

2. Depends on how many lims (guess 2 hours on 1Lim system if onsite and using ftp file transfer of units as that is the time consuming part)

3.ESD creates log files . And for patch comparsion use the mcc files .

4. If adding lim from 1Lims to 2Lims system ,this upgrade does not apply .Inl load the system with INL for sp13 ,and enter limdisp table for 2LimNoGS with the lims gjul(s) connected back to back. Re enter data extracted end regenerated with PcRegen.

5. Going from 1Lim to 2Lim needs inl load.
Going from 2Lim to 3lim w/gs needs inl load .
Adding Lims only apply from 3Lims w/gs and larger .
This is due to the config of the system .
SCSCI :CONFIG=[,EQU= ,IOCCL= ,GSM= ,GSSIDE=] [,CHL= ];
Config=0 System with gs
Config=1 1Lim no gs
Config=2 2Lim no gs

HI
tigerlow66

if you want add a lim you need licence
LINE-INTERFACE-MODULE FAL1040049 one per lim

and probably
GROUP-SWITCH-LINK FAL104492
but I'm not shure this

 

[SYAR2003]

Theese licenses are needed as RFPUI says .
In addition to the expansion of the port licenses
for your boards in the lim becoming no.2 .

Hi SYAR
I want to update SP5 to SP12.Should I do the procedure as above?
I do not use ESD before, so I want to complete my information before updating. Would you pls guide me?

 

[whosrdaddy]

MDadmin,

from BC11SP5, you can only update to BC11SP8 via ESD.
for SP13 (latest SP) you must make system from INL and use PCREGEN. This procedure is not easy when you don't know what you're doing, it's better to contact your system provider for these sort of procedures...
