After you have obtained your system configuration, your next step is to check the 
BFS QAM for the number of sessions and to remove any completed or orphaned 
sessions. This check is done both before and after the installation process is complete 
to provide a comparison of the number of sessions. This comparison indicates a 
successful upgrade by ensuring the correct number of sessions were built after the 
upgrade process is complete.   

 

Follow these steps to check the number of post-upgrade BFS sessions. 
1  Press the Options button on the front panel of the BFS QAM until the Session 

Count total appears. 

2  Does the Session Count total equal the number of sessions you recorded in the 

Checking the BFS Sessions on the BFS QAM (on page 26) procedure? 

 

If yes, skip the remainder of this section, and go to Authorize the BRF as a 
BFS Server (Optional) (on page 71). The system recovered all of the BFS 
sessions. 

 

If no, Tear Down BFS and OSM Sessions (on page 68). 

 

Complete these steps to tear down the BFS and OSM sessions in order to return the 
BFS session count to the expected number of sessions. 
1  On the DNCS Control window, highlight the osm process. 
2  Click Process and then select Stop Process. In a few minutes, the indicator for 

the osm process changes from green to red. 

3  Highlight the bfsServer process. 
4  Click Process and then select Stop Process. In a few minutes, the indicator for 

the bfsServer process changes from green to red. 

5  On the DNCS Administrative Console, select the DNCS tab and go to Utilities.
