upgrade software
Simplex:
upgrade software to-version [version-override] [save-translation |
no-translation]
Duplex:
upgrade software to-version [call-override] [no-interchange]
[version-override] [preserve-calls | no-calls] [save-translation |
no-translation]
This command is a single user command; that only
status
commands may be
executed while this command is running; all other commands will be blocked.
Parameters
Simplex:
In a simplex system this command will result in translation being saved to
the primary device, followed by a reboot of the processor with loading of
the new software and translation data, and any field updates from the
primary MSS device. When completed, service is restored.
Duplex:
In a duplicated SPE system, the upgrade software command will save
translation, reboot the standby SPE with new software from its primary MSS
device, load translations, apply any field updates, initiate an interchange of
the SPE’s, and begin providing service to the system. Normally the
interchange of the SPEs will result in minimal service disruption. In cases
where the new software load is incompatible with the existing load, the
system may perform a service-disrupting reboot.
to-version
This qualifier identifies the software version. This qualifier is
checked against the data on the MSS device to verify that the
correct software version is being loaded and that the software
version is the same or newer that the version in memory.
no-interchange
This option is only available in duplicated systems and provides the
technician the ability to reboot the standby processor with the
software on the standby primary MSS device, apply any
field-updates and yet have the standby SPE remain the standby.
The duplex default is to interchange the processors, upon a
successful boot of the standby SPE.
call-override This option is only available in duplicated systems and allows the
command to continue, even if the command will result in a reset
level 2 of the processor. Normally, the command would print an
error message if it was able to determine if the reset was
necessary. This reset would cause all calls in the system to be
dropped.
