Check BFS QAM Sessions
Introduction
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.
