problem in BCM50 hard disk

[teto101]

hello every one ,first of all I have some qestion on BCM50 operating system I know thats linux , but I need to know if there is a way to make a backup copy for this operating system so I can fix any damged hard disk for nortel BCM50 ....

My problem , I am working in BCM50a sudnly this system stop workink and the system cann't boot as usual all serices and all telephone connected on the BCM not working it seems to me that the system cann't find the operating system ( ??!!!! ),,,,,

I tried to make reset # level 1 & 2 # but it didn't work the system continue to rebooting .there is no acsess for element maneger or any thing else .

is that mean that I need to buy another hard disk from nortel # I found evry thing is ok on the system power supply and router and the motherbord ....) so I think my problem is in the image file of the OS stored in the hard disk

you can download a new bcm release x image and then use acronis to burn a new 80 g SATA hard drive, then add the patches then the backup file, then the lic file..

that will work

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

You can also purchase a multi-image hard drive from an authorized Avaya partner. When you install it be sure to select the correct software release that you were running on your BCM. Once the image is selected, it can't be changed.
