8  After the upgrade is complete, generate a Doctor Report using the –av option to 

verify system stability and functionality. If new or unexpected errors appear in 

the Doctor Report, contact Cisco Services. 

Note: For further instructions on running the Doctor Report, refer to  

Chapter 5, Analyze System Configuration With the Doctor Report, in the DBDS 

Utilities Installation Instructions and DNCS Utilities User’s Guide. 

9  After the upgrade is complete, perform the System Validation Tests found in the 

installation and upgrade documentation for your system release version to verify 

the functionality and performance of the set-tops in your system. If new or 

unexpected errors occur, contact Cisco Services. 

10  Over the next few days, check the individual modulators to verify that they 

received the new code. 

 

Sessions that exist on xOD or VOD GQAMs that were upgraded will be interrupted 

and, in most cases, will recover. If the sessions do not recover, exit the xOD or VOD 

application (stop the xOD or VOD program or change to a different channel and 

then back to the previous channel) and restart the application and the xOD or VOD 

stream by resuming the playback of the “in progress” purchase. This process will 

vary depending the application you are using. 
Important! Due to load balancing and traffic, it is difficult to determine with 

absolute certainty that all GQAM modulators are functioning properly. For this 

reason, you should monitor these modulators for a few days following this upgrade 

to verify that Session and Program Counts are increasing and/or decreasing 

(whichever is applicable) as new xOD or VOD sessions are created.
