Sig Server Patches Verification

[jamming1]

Looking for some verification. My vendor is trying to tell me that my signaling server patches were deactivated. The reason being the signaling server above it fell on top of it and knock out the power cord out, which then deactivated the patches that were in the signaling server.

Does the signal server deactivate patches like the PBX does after so many reboots? I am having a hard time believing this beacuse I have a signaling server in my lab that has the power cord removed over and over without any issues like this.

That would not lose patches,unless maybe they were just loaded. How long have the patches been on there?Go into element manager and go to software-patching- and do a PSTAT on the sig server, you can also do your media card from there.

Can't you just go to LD 22 and do an ISSP?

This is from Element Manager. You can see that the Sig Serv patches have the same safeguards from sysloads and INI's caused by newly installed patches as the pbx does.

No you can not do an ISSP from 22, that is for the PBX patches only, you need to see the SIG Server patches.

We have the same issue. It appears that this happens only when the sig server actually loses power and is not shut down properly. We have 93 signalling servers in our network and it has been consistently power issues and not just reboots.
