How do you do parallel reload Opt 81c cpp

[Kodaker]

I'm looking for the specs on how to do a parallel reload on Opt 81c cpp processor....

If some one has a quick document it would be appreciated

Ummmm...if you don't have the correct NTP....why are you attempting the procedure? One doesn't just Parallel reload an 81C for kicks.

 

[TAnselm]

it's in the "upgrades and conversions" NTP

If you are asking the question then you shouldn't be doing it.

No offense to the respondors, but you have to learn how to do these things somewhere. Warning the OP that it is not a activity performed lightly and should be done during non-business hours and at low usage periods is a good idea, but telling people not to do it at all..

Isn't the point of these forums to learn and ask questions?


Kodaker, as TAnselm said, it's in the "upgrades and conversions NTP" which you can find here. (I know this link isn't working properly, but I left it that way anyway.) I would try to link to the exact document, but since you didn't specify software version and exact hardware, it's hard to give you an exact link.


If you haven't done this before I'd offer two recommendations (1) consider getting a tech from a vendor to supervise the process until you're confident you can repeat the procedure without needing documentation, (2) only perform a parallel reload during non-business hours or during scheduled changed controls (or both).

Your entire phone system will be down during a parallel reload.



Also, there is no reason to perform a parallel reload as part of any "routine" maintenance plan. The only reason I ever perform a parallel reload is because I'm upgrading a system or the rare case of resolving corruption. If you're doing an upgrade or dealing with corruption, you really should have your maintenance vendor involved.

correction, I meant to say: I know that the link doesn't show up as "here" properly, but I didn't want to reformat the text to change my wording (it's late here and I'm getting tired, and therefor lazy about my typing.)

Your entire phone system will be down during a parallel reload.

the only time the system goes down is after you upgrade code 0, then swap into that core to upgrade core 1.. that is the reason for a parallel.. otherwise you can just boot off of the install disk and reload it that way.. the last few parallel's i've done the down time was under 2 minutes...

Cpp and CPv have different processes as well, as the motorola processors. If this is a P2, with MMDU's you would follow that process.

When you say Specs. what do you mean?

If you are planning to re-install the software (parallel reload) then you would want to go through the documentation first, then ask us any specific questions you might have once you read up on the process, there are too many steps to provide you with....

Manuals are a must for this type of equipment, I have worked with guys that have been doing this forever, they Always have the manuals with them. They refer to them only because you don't forget something while you are doing upgrade/reinstall, everytime there is a software upgrade something new might be in the procedure so there is no point doing it without reference material.

 

[johnpoole]

your right, of course. back when i did 2 or 3 upgrades a week.. i didn't need the books but you can bet i had one on hand in case something did not respond the way i expected

I'm still a little curious as to why you want to perform one.

What problems are you seeing? Maybe we can help before you parallel reload.

PII processors and above won't take that long, but the older ones take a little time.

You guys scared him off.




This is a Signature and not part of the answer, it appears on every reply.

This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

Thanks for all the replies...Have been out of country
Sorry I did not give all info
The reason for the parallel reload is the following

interrupt: timerWdHandler: kill failed (timer=0x3078870, tid=0x7f9a4c0, errno=0x16)

interrupt: timerWdHandler: kill failed (timer=0x3078870, tid=0x7f9a4c0, errno=0x16)

interrupt: timerWdHandler: kill failed (timer=0x3078870, tid=0x7f9a4c0, errno=0x16)


This is outputting every 30 seconds off the J25 CPSI port of the active CPU 0(Rls 4....MMDU P2 processor)
So far I've tried
1.removing the port and reprogramming
2.switch CPU the error move to the active CPU Port

I have a 24 hour machine (call centre with 1000 agents)

no other port are affected...
not service affecting at this time.....
Has anyone seen this B4

Parallel Reload might fix.... Split...Cutover....Join
I'm not upgrading at this time
Patch level at the latest

Anyone have any Ideas
Thanks again for all the replies..............

I have a customer with the exact same issue. Anyone else seen this.

Thanks
