Scenario: Replacing Two OMUa or OMUb Boards with Two OMUc

Boards
This section describes how to replace two OMUa or OMUb boards with two OMUc boards.

Prerequisites

 You have logged in to the LMT. For detailed operations, see Logging In to and Logging Out of the
LMT.
 Two new OMUc boards are ready.

Context

Mixed—insertion of OMU Boards

 Short-term mixed—insertion of OMU boards is supported. When an OMUc board is used to
replace an OMUa/OMUb board, the OMUc board and the OMUa or OMUb board can be
inserted into the slots and co-exist for a short period, so that data can be transferred from the
OMUa or OMUb board to the OMUc board.
 Long-term mixed—insertion of OMU boards in slots is not supported because the active and
standby OMU boards must be of the same type for commercial delivery in existing network, for
example, both active and standby OMU boards must be OMUa boards or OMUc boards.

NOTICE:
To protect the OMU board from the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), wear an ESD wrist strap and insert its
connector into the ESD socket on the cabinet before replacing the board. For detailed operations, see
Wearing an ESD Wrist Strap. If an ESD wrist strap or ground point is unavailable, wear a pair of ESD
gloves instead.

Procedure

1. Run the DSP OMU command to query information about the OMU and record the queried
information in Records of the product software Installation Information.
Record Sheet of OMU Software Installation Information of the OMU board to be replaced
records the following information:
 Administrator password
 Password of system administrator admin
 Password of FTP user FtpUsr
 External fixed IP address, external virtual IP address, internal fixed IP address, internal
virtual IP address, debugging IP address, and backup channel IP address of the OMU
board

NOTE:
This document uses the OMUa board as an example.
2. Stop the omud process on the standby OMU board and shut down the OMU operating system
(OS).
a. Log in to the standby OMU. For detailed operations, see Logging In to the OMU in the
BSC6900 GSM OMU Administration Guide.
 b. Run the /etc/rc.d/omud stop command to stop the omud process.
c. Run the poweroff command to shut down the OMU OS.
3. Remove the standby OMU board. For detailed operations, see Replacing an OMU board that is
equipped with new ejector levers or Replacing an OMU board that is equipped with old ejector
levers.
4. Install the OMUc boards in the active and standby slots of the board. These slots are green in
Figure 1.
The OMUa or OMUb board is twice the thickness of other boards. Two OMUa or OMUb boards
are installed in the slots in blue, yellow, and red frames, as shown in Figure 1. Between two
adjacent OMUa or OMUb boards, one is active and the other is standby.
The first OMUc board used for replacement must be installed in the green slots.
Example 1: Two OMUa boards are installed in the slots 20 through 23 before replacement.
Slots 20 and 21 house the active OMUa board. Slots 22 and 23 house the standby OMUa
board. Perform the following operations to replace OMU boards:
. Remove the OMUa board installed in slots 22 and 23.
a. Install the first OMUc board in slot 23.
Example 2: Two OMUa boards are installed in the slots 20 through 23 before replacement.
Slots 20 and 21 house the standby OMUa board. Slots 22 and 23 house the active OMUa
board. Perform the following operations to replace OMU boards:
b. Remove the OMUa board installed in slots 20 and 21.
c. Install the first OMUc board in slot 21.

the directory containing omutool.
c. Change the OMU IP addresses by referring to the IP addresses of the replaced OMU
board.
 Execute ./omutool innercard IP address to change the internal fixed IP address.
  Execute ./omutool innervip IP address to change the internal virtual IP address.
 Execute ./omutool extercard IP address mask (gateway) to change the external
fixed IP address and subnet mask.
 Use the command ./omutool backupcard_for_omuc IP address to change the
backup channel IP address of the active and standby OMUs of the B_UPDATE0
Ethernet adapter on an OMUc board.
 Use the command ./omutool backupcard_for_omua IP address to change the
backup channel IP address of the active and standby OMUs of the B_UPDATE1
Ethernet adapter on an OMUc board.
 Record the information about the product software installation in Information
Records of OMU Software Installation.

NOTE:
It is recommended that the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby
OMUs on the Ethernet adapter B_UPDATE0 of the OMUc board be set to 192.168.9.60.
In addition, set the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs on the
Ethernet adapter B_UPDATE1 to the backup channel IP address of the OMUa board
that has been removed in Records of the OMU Application Installation Information.
11. Record the information about the product software installation in Information Records of OMU
Software Installation.
12. Only when BSC6900 is configured with the GBFD-511701 Radio Measurement Data
Interface for Navigation feature and the BSC local IP address is used for communication
between the OMU and VNP, you need to reconfigure the BSC local IP address, VLAN IDs for
communication between the OMU and VNP, and VLAN IDs for communication between the
OMU and EMS/LMT based on "OMU Ethernet Adapter Team IP Address Installation
Information." For details, see Radio Measurement Data Interface for Navigation in GBSS
Feature Documentation.
13. Start the omud on the standby OMU board. Run the /etc/rc.d/omud start command and press
Enter to start the omud.
14. Wait 10 minutes while the data of OMUa or OMUb board and the OMUc board is being
synchronized.
After the OMU OS, product software and patches are installed, the data of the OMUa or OMUb
board and the OMUc board is synchronized automatically.
15. Run the DSP OMU command to check the data synchronization progress. When Data-sync
state is Data synchronization is successful, run the SWP OMU command to switch the
OMUc to work as the active OMU.
16. After the active/standby OMU switchover is complete, run the DSP OMU command to check
the data synchronization progress. When Data-sync state is Data synchronization is
successful, stop the OMUd process on the OMUa board, shut down the OMU OS, referring to
2.
17. Repeat 3 to 4 to remove the OMUa board, and install OMUc board.

NOTE:
The OMUc boards can be configured in slots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 20 and 21, 22 and 23, 24 and
25, or 26 and 27. For example, if one OMUc board is configured in slot 21, the other OMUc
board must be configured in slot 20.
18. Repeat operations in 5 to 9 to install product software.
19. Change IP addresses of OMU Ethernet adapters and their subnet masks by referring to
operations in 10.

NOTE:
It is recommended that the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs on
the Ethernet adapter B_UPDATE0 of the OMUc board be set to 192.168.9.50. In addition, set
the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs on the Ethernet adapter
B_UPDATE1 to the backup channel IP address of the OMUa board that has been removed in
Records of the OMU Application Installation Information.
20. Only when BSC6900 is configured with the GBFD-511701 Radio Measurement Data
Interface for Navigation feature and the BSC local IP address is used for communication
between the OMU and VNP, you need to reconfigure the BSC local IP address, VLAN IDs for
communication between the OMU and VNP, and VLAN IDs for communication between the
OMU and EMS/LMT based on "OMU Ethernet Adapter Team IP Address Installation
Information." For details, see Radio Measurement Data Interface for Navigation in GBSS
Feature Documentation.
21. Start the omud on the standby OMU board. Run the /etc/rc.d/omud start command and press
Enter to start the omud.
22. Wait 10 minutes while the data of two OMUc boards is being synchronized.
23. Run the RMV BRD command to delete the OMUa or OMUb boards which have been removed
in 17.
24. Run the ADD BRD command to add the OMUc board which has been installed in 17.
