Upgrading Cisco ONS 15454 SDH R4.x to R4.1.x Using the TCC2 Card
OL-4295-02
Before You Begin
Caution
This document supports Software R4.x only. If you want to upgrade from Software R3.3.x or R3.4.x,
you must first upgrade to Release 4.0 and perform the TCCI to TCC2 card upgrade. See the Cisco ONS
15454 SDH Software Upgrade Guide, Release 4.0, to perform this upgrade.

Caution
The XCVXL card on the ONS 15454 SDH allows the intermixing of VC12 and VC3 payloads within a
single VC4. When a VC4 contains only one VC12 tributary and at least one VC3 tributary and the VC12
is deleted, the database becomes corrupt.

is deleted, the database becomes corrupt.
The database load process on the ONS 15454 SDH occurs during a TCC2 reboot, TCC2 protection
switch, software activation, or database restore. When the database is loaded containing this corruption
the load process fails, causing the corrupt database to be deleted from the TCC2 flash memory. The
previous saved database is then loaded instead. When all saved databases on a TCC2 contain the
corruption, the TCC2 will load with the default provisioning, and all existing provisioning will be lost.

If this issue occurs you will see a loss of either some or all provisioning after a TCC2 switch or reset. To
ensure that your network is not vulnerable to this issue, you must first determine if the issue already
exists within your network, and if so, correct it. You can detect the issue by using the SDH Circuit Repair
Utility (VcCheck) provided on the ONS 15454 SDH Release 4.1.3 and 4.6 software CDs. The VcCheck
tool is also available for download from CCO. Once you have alleviated immediate risk from the issue,
you must upgrade to Release 4.6, or maintenance Release 4.1.3 (or any later release) to avoid further risk.
The VcCheck utility and its associated README file (in the same directory with the tool) provide
details on how to temporarily alleviate this issue before upgrading to a release in which the issue is
resolved.
