Cisco Cisco ONS 15310-MA SONET Multiservice Platform Installation Guide

<AID> indicates the entity in the node. <AID> must not be null.

<CTAG> is the correlation tag that correlates command and response messages (optional).

<TYPEREQ> is the type of condition to be retrieved. A null value is equivalent to ALL.

RTRV-ALM-ALL:[<TID>]:[<AID>]:<CTAG>::[<NTFCNCDE>],[<CONDITION>],[<SRVEFF>][,,,]; 

where:

<TID> is the target identifier (optional).

<AID> indicates the entity in the node. <AID> must not be null.

<CTAG> is the correlation tag that correlates command and response messages (optional).

<NTFCNCDE> is a notification code. A null value is equivalent to ALL.

<CONDITION> is the type of alarm condition. A null value is equivalent to ALL.

<SRVEFF> is the effect on service caused by the alarm condition. A null value is equivalent to ALL.

Resolve all issues before proceeding.

You can only activate one node at a time. However, in a parallel upgrade, you can begin 
activation of the next node as soon as the controller cards for the current node have rebooted 
successfully. If you wish to perform a parallel upgrade remotely, wait five minutes for the 
controller cards to complete the reboot.

Starting at the node farthest from the GNE, type the APPLY command to activate the system software.

APPLY:[<TID>]::<CTAG>[::<MEM_SW_TYPE>]; 

where:

<TID> is the target identifier.

<CTAG> is the correlation tag that correlates command and response messages.

<MEM_SW_TYPE> indicates a memory switch action during the software upgrade. 
MEM_SW_TYPE is ACT for activate.

If the command is successful, the appropriate flash is selected and the CTX2500 card reboots.

The following occurs:

Each card in the node reboots, beginning with the standby CTX2500 card. When the standby 
CTX2500 card reboots, it signals the active CTX2500 card that it is ready to take over. When the 
active CTX2500 receives this signal, it resets itself, and the standby CTX2500 takes over and 
transitions to active. The pre-upgrade version of the CTX2500 card is now the standby CTX2500.

Next, the E-Series Ethernet cards reset simultaneously.

Any cards in Y-cable protection groups boot next, one at a time (protect card first), in order of first 
creation (refer to the CTC protection group list for order of first creation).

Next, the traffic cards, G-Series Ethernet cards, CE-Series Ethernet cards, and ML-Series Ethernet 
cards boot consecutively, in ascending order of slot number, first standby, then working, for each 
card pair.

A system reboot (SYSBOOT) alarm is raised while activation is in progress (following the CTX2500 
and cross-connect card resets). When all cards have reset, this alarm clears. The complete activation 
process can take up to 30 minutes, depending on how many cards are installed.
