Replacing the Compact Flash 2

[ciberweb]

Hi there!

A MD whose System Board is a NIU2 with a Compact Flash of 128 Mb. I have to replace the CF with another of 256 Mb.

Does somebody know the correct procedure? I'm afraid of loosing all the PBX data!!

Thx in advance!!

Hello

Do the following commands
BLEQI:EQU=1-3-20-0;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21;
IOSIE:NODE=SYSN,DIODEV=SYSDISK1;

Remove the board from the shelf, extract the Compact flash
Reinsert the new Compact Flash
Reinsert de board into the shelf

do the command
IOSII:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SUBF=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS21,BTYPE=ATA;
FICRI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11,SIZE=120;
FICRI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21,SIZE=120;
FIMOI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11;
FIMOI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21;
BLEQE:EQU=1-3-20-0,ALLFM=YES;

then do a dump or vhatever you need to do in the flash card.

Thanks indeed!
Seems easy once you read the instructions ;-)

Only a question (maybe stupid): Why SIZE=120? Why not 128? (CF total size is 256).

Thanks again!!

Hi,

Partition for 120MB out of 128MB is due to the fact that 8MB is used/reserved for the super area..

Tryed two differents CF but the same error...
My user is AUTH 7 and this is BC12 SP5 (Spain).

Any idea?

 

[rfpui]

how look IODDP now?
try to block NIU2 once more before FICRI

Perhaps NIU2 needs upgrade firmware to recognize CF with 256Mb?

 

[whosrdaddy]

NIU2 needs to be minimal R8A, but better R9A, to work with Toshiba flash, sandisk 256Mb works with R6A

CiberWeb,

You just need to replace your flash disk with a new one.Probably scandisk brand....it is the same problem we
encountered here when we upgrade clients to BC12 using
Toshiba 256MB flash disk(Ericsson supplied). We just bought
scandisk flash disk locally & replaced the Ericsson supplied Toshiba flash disk & the problem is rectified. We did also asked Ericsson to replace the flashdisk provided.

CiberWeb,
I think,try to do Low format the new CF using niux commands.
Good Luck!

[whosrdaddy]

rokane, no need to replace the hdisk if put the board in the correct firmware

Ericsson is going to upgrade the firmware to resolve the problem ;-)

Incredible the knowledge of this forum. Simple incredible ;-)

Another question! :

If I want to use the NIU2+CF System Board also for CIL, how you would do the format of the Compact?

Perhaps 2x64 for system plus 1x120 for CIL? (It's a small system) And what would be the commands? (I'm still too newbie for having risks on formatting disks).

Thx indeed in advance!!

I answer myself:

FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21;

Remove the board from the shelf, extract the Compact flash
Reinsert the new Compact Flash
Reinsert de board into the shelf
 
IOSII:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS21&mypartition,BTYPE=ATA;

[lalrl]

FIMOI:SUBFS=mypartition,PATH=/SYSN/USR3;

Is it important to use this path or can I mount it where ever I want?
