Uploading M3904 loadware into pbx using PDT

[TelTech11]

Does anyone know the NTP showing the steps for uploading the loadware for M3900 series using pdt?
My system is at 4.50, Pentium 4

I have found the commands that would be used but not the actual steps for upgrading the loadware in "Telephones and Consoles Fundamentals NN43001-567. page 209

I have never seen NTPs for PDT, its all very secretive

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is what you are after below?. I have more information on this topic. Pentium 4 would use the CF2 device.

LARGE SYSTEMS - CPP / PENTIUM

1. Check FSUM in LD 32 to verify existing firmware version on MMDU

2. Split the Cores by issuing the "SPLIT" command from LD 135

3. Install the cdrom with the psdl.rec file in the cdrom drive on the active
core

4. Enter pdt

<ctrl>pdt

5. Verify that psdl file is on cdrom

( Note for CPP, floppy and cd drives are always device f0 and cd0 for
both CPU 0 and CPU 1 )

pdt> cd /cd0 , then type ll ( psdl file should be listed ).

6. Change the write protection on the MMDU with the following command

pdt> drUnprotectP

7. Change directory to where the psdl.rec file is located

pdt> cd /p/sl1

8. Backup the existing psdl.rec file in case it is needed again

pdt> cp psdl.rec psdl.old

9. Copy the psdl.rec file from the cdrom to the p/sl1 directory

pdt> cp /cd0/psdl_1.rec /p/sl1/psdl.rec

10. Change the MMDU back to read only

pdt> drProtectP

11. Initialize the active CPU

12. Check FSUM on LD 32 to verify new Firmware version on MMDU.

13. Install the cdrom with the psdl.rec file in the cdrom drive on the inactive
core

14. Repeat steps 3 through 10 for the inactive core ( other core )

15. Initialize the inactive CPU

16. From the active CPU issue the JOIN command in LD135 to restore
redundancy.


I hope it helps?.









All the best

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

Here are a list of commands found in one of Nortels NTP
Nortel Communication Server 1000
Telephones and Consoles Fundamentals
NN43001-567 however these show up as an "example" if it didn't use the word example I would feel comfortable using it. Is this the procedure that should be used?

Four new pdt commands support the Dynamic PSDL feature:
• lwload <loadware patch filename(s)>
— loads one or more loadware patches on the switch.
• lwinst <loadware patch number(s)>
— rebuilds psdl.rec to include new loadware
• lwout <loadware patch number(s)>
— removes one or more loadware patches from the switch
• lwstat <loadware patch number(s)>
— displays status of loadware patches on switch
— if no patch numbers given, displays all patches
The loadware patches must be located in the /u/loadware directory. Below
is the example of loadware patching.
pdt> lwload ger1ba50.p
Loading loadware patch from "c:/u/loadware/ger1ba50.p"
Loadware patch number is 0.
pdt> lwinst 0
The existing c:/p/sl1/psdl.rec will be deleted
Do you wish to back up this file (y/n)? [n]
Loadware "GER1BA49" will be replaced by "GER1BA50"
Do you wish to continue (y/n) [y]
Building system loadware. This will take a few minutes.
...
Done. Must reboot for changes to take effect.
pdt> lwstat 0
Base loadware version: 56
Number of patches installed: 1
Loadware patch number: 0
Patch file: c:/u/loadware/ger1ba50.p
Patchname: GER1 L/w
Ref. number: mplr12345
PRS number: mp12345
Engineer: DE
Created: Mon Feb 5 10:47:25 2001
Patch is loaded & installed
Install date: Mon Feb 5 11:15:20 2001
pdt> lwout 0
Loadware patch 0 has been removed successfully.
System loadware must now be re-built.
