Upgrade Precautions
Strictly follow the upgrade guide during the pre-upgrade check and upgrade.
Use the DC pre-upgrade check tool to perform a check and resolve all detected problems before an
upgrade.
Before an upgrade at an important site, the upgrade operator is advised to attend hands-on practices
and pass the certification in the MSTP upgrade certification center.
Apply for expert support and organize training before major upgrades.
Back up and check databases, and handle exceptions before an upgrade.
Back up NMS scripts and databases before an upgrade. Compare alarms reported before and after
an upgrade.
Before upgrading a TDM version to a hybrid version, obtain the smooth evolution guide of the target
version and check whether board replacement is required.
OSN 9500 V100R005 and NGSDH V100R009 reached EOS in 2012, and are high-risk
versions. Upgrade them to the recommended mainstream versions as soon as possible.
