2 Precautions for High-Risk

Operations

2.1 Operation Preparations

2.1.1 Designing an Operation SchemeBefore performing any high-risk operation, design a detailed operation scheme.

In addition to a detailed operation procedure, an operation scheme must include the following points:

1. Inspection and verification methods after operation.

2. Rollback conditions for an operation failure and detailed operation procedure of rollback.

3. Watching plan and monitoring scheme after successful operation.

2.1.2 Operation ProcedureAll high-risk operations must comply with the change flow. An operation scheme should be submitted to the relevant expert group for review, and can be executed only after the scheme is approved.

Before performing a high-risk operation, file a formal application to the customer and inform the customer of the detailed operation scheme and implementation plan. In addition, inform the customer of potential risks and preventative measures in advance, and request the customer to assign personnel for cooperation.

2.2 Operation ImplementationFollow the approved operation scheme and perform the operation in the customer-specified duration or the period (00:00 a.m. to 06:00 a.m.) when the traffic volume is commonly believed to be low.

During the operation, monitor the duration of each phase in the operation and ensure that the operation and service test can be complete within the specified period.

UMG8900 Guide to High-Risk Operations on the UMG8900 3 High-Risk Operations

1. Before switchover or reset, check that the master/slave switchover is complete.

2. Switch over or reset only one board at one time.

3. Check that the slave boards works normally before switchover.

4. After switchover or reset, check that the system runs properly.

3.3.1 Precautions Take caution when you perform switchover. Note the following points:

1. You can perform switchover only when the conditions are met. For example, the slave board works normally. Frequent switchover is prohibited.

2. When a board of the system is in the switchover progress, you cannot switch over or replace another board.

3. The switchover operation should be performed when the traffic is low. This is to prevent call interruption and impact to service.

4. When certain boards are switcher over, the accuracy of traffic statistics for measurement units associated with the boards in the statistics collection period may be affected.

5. This operation has certain risks; thus, the operator must be familiar with the device and understand the link status in each office direction. This operation can be performed only when both the master and slave boards run properly. Before performing this operation, obtain approval from Huawei technical support personnel.

6. Switch over the MOMU with caution.

7. The CLK board can be switched over only when the clock of the master board is synchronous with that of the slave board and when its slave board is in the tracking, free, or hold state.

8. The below table lists the boards that can be switched over.

Operation Guide Criteria

You can run the SWP BRD command to switch over the following boards that work in 1+1 backup mode:

OMU

MPU

NET

RPU

TNU

CMU

CLK

BLU

ASU

You can see that the master board resets.

The former master board acts as the slave boards, and the former slave board acts as the master board.

The system runs properly after the switchover.

During board switchover, the system generates alarms.

3.3.2 Operation ProcedureStep 1 Run the SWP BRD command to perform switchover.

1. Run the DSP BRD command to check whether the backup for the board to be switched over is complete. If not, wait for the completion of the backup.
