During the upgrade, the following operations on the GBAM are forbidden:
Power off the GBAM Manually reset the GBAM Manually disconnect the GBAM from the network
5.
During the upgrade, before the board initialization is complete, do not configure any data. Otherwise, the board data and the data on the GBAM/GOMU may be inconsistent and the following operations are affected.
NOTE
a) The GXPUM/GXPUT has four CPUs, therefore, the initialization of the GXPUM/GXPUT cannot be
complete until all the CPUs are initialized. You can right-click the GXPUM/GXPUT and choose Query CPU/DSP State on the shortcut menu, and then click Query to check whether the initialization is complete. Ensure that the Operation State of the four CPUs is Enabled, and the Available State of the four CPUs is Normal. Otherwise, one CPU is abnormal.
b) For other boards, check their states on the BSC Device Panel tab page of the LMT. Ensure that these boards are normal. 6. If the upgrade fails, or that the network performance deteriorates seriously after the upgrade, you need to decide whether to roll back the version based on the actual situation and customer requirements. For details about the rollback, refer to chapter 8"Version Rollback." 7. During the upgrade, ensure that all load control parameters are Automatic Loading.
Page 21 of 77
CAUTION
The personnel in charge of the upgrade need to record related activities by referring to Appendix 1.2 "Upgrade Record." and to provide the upgrade report.

Step 1 On the Windows operating system, choose Start > Run. Step 2 Connect to the GBAM/GOMU (assume that the IP address of the GBAM/GOMU is 10.161.72.254) by running \\10.161.72.254. Step 3 Click OK.
NOTE
If a prompt that "Cannot find the \\GBAM IP address" is displayed on the Windows operating system, you can infer that the samba service on the GBAM is not enabled. To enable the samba service, you can use the putty tool to log in to the GBAM as user root, and then run the rcsmb start command. Finally, log in to the GBAM through the Windows operating system. Step 4 Double-click the bsc6000 folder. Enter the user name and password in the displayed dialog box correctly. By default, the user name is BSC6000 and the password is 11111111. Step 5 Modify the attributes of the folders and files in the /BSC6000 directory. You need to use the putty tool to log in to the GBAM/GOMU as user root, and then run the chmod 777 /BSC6000 R command on the putty tool to modify the attributes of all the folders and that of all the files in the /BSC6000 directory. Step 6 Enable the samba service to log in to the GBAM/GOMU, and then copy the files in the data directory to the local hard disk. ----End

Operating mode
1. This task can be performed to accelerate the board loading and shortens the service interruption. 2. In this task, the host software does not include the upgrade of the core process or that of the local process of the GBAM/GOMU. 3. Normally, V9R3C01B054 and later releases only support the upgrade from an earlier C version to a later C version. To perform upgrade from an earlier B version to a later B version, you should enable the B version upgrade function before the upgrade. In other words, you should run the SET SWMDBG:DS=ON command on the MML client. The version number entered during the upgrade should include the B version number.
Page 25 of 77
Loading host software online refers to loading the host software in later version by using the MML client and the GBAM/GOMU to the Flash of each board. The following sections describe how to load host software online.
Page 26 of 77
LOD SOFTWARE: SV="BSC6000V900R003C01"; 2. On the MML client, observe the load progress. After the load is complete, the load result is displayed on the MML client. 3. If the returned message indicates that the software fails to be loaded on some certain boards, repeat step 1 through step 3. Because incremental load is achieved, the system reloads software to only the boards where software fails to be loaded. If several attempts for loading the software to some boards are made but all the attempts fail, check the reason why the loading fails and perform the corresponding processing.
NOTE
If the OMLs on the Ater interface are in satellite transmission mode, the transmission of the OMLs on the Ater interface is slow due to time delay. Therefore, the host software may not be successfully loaded on the boards configured on the MSC side online at a time. In this case, you can perform the load operation several times until all the boards are successfully loaded with the host software.
1 Before loading the level 2 BIOS, check the LMT device panel to ensure that all the boards are operational. 2When loading the level 2 BIOS online, select the corresponding level 2 BIOS version. The version may be the same as the previous version.
Page 27 of 77
3The BIOS upgrade consists of the upgrade of BIOS0 and BIOS1. The BIOS upgrade on the M2000 or MML client refers to the upgrade of BIOS1, which is level 2 BIOS. Level 2 BIOS is upgraded on the M2000 or MML client unless otherwise specified. The rollback of the BIOS indicates the following: If the board was not powered off and the number of startup failures reaches 200 after level 2 BIOS is upgraded, the original BIOS (BIOS0) is used to perform startup. If the board was once powered off and the number of startup failures reaches 10 after level 2 BIOS is upgraded, the original BIOS (BIOS0) is used to perform startup.
The online loading of the level 2 BIOS indicates that the level 2 BIOS file in later version is loaded on boards through the MML client and the GBAM/GOMU.
LOD SOFTWARE: SWT=BIOS, SV="BSC6000V900R003C01"; 2. On the MML client, observe the load progress. After the load is complete, the load result is displayed on the MML client. 3. If the returned message indicates that the software fails to be loaded on some certain boards, repeat step 1 through step 2. Because incremental load is achieved, the system reloads software to only the boards where software fails to be loaded. If several attempts for loading the software to some boards are made but all the attempts fail, check the reason why the loading fails and perform the corresponding processing. 4. After the load is complete, confirm that the level 2 BIOS of all the boards is upgraded to the correct version. If the version of the level 2 BIOS is incorrect, the board may not be started. The method is as follows: Step 1 On the LMT, choose BSC Maintenance > Query Software > Query Board Version Information.
Page 28 of 77
Step 2 In the displayed Query Board Version Information dialog box, click the Software and Hardware Information tab. Step 3 On the Software and Hardware Information tab page, choose each subrack (except subrack 12) in the Subrack drop-down list box in turn. Step 4 Click Query to check the Level 2 BIOS Version of all the boards so that the level 2 BIOS version is confirmed to be correct. ----End
NOTE
1.
If the loading of the level 2 BIOS fails due to system power failure or board resetting, repeat the loading steps after the related fault is rectified. After the loading, if the activated board cannot be started normally, replace the board. You can use an internal tool to upgrade the replaced board for later use. The level 2 BIOS must be upgraded when the system is in stable running.
2.
If a board fails to be started, the BIOS may roll back to BIOS0.If the rollback fails due to the incompatible BIOS0, the board cannot be started. After the rollback of the BIOS and the failed initiation, the fault cannot be rectified. The board must be replaced.
3.
For the XPU board, if the BIOS is upgraded from a version earlier than 205 to version 205, the board may be reset or suspended abnormally after the BIOS upgrade and the board
restart. The reason is that one BUG exists in the BIOS (version 205) of the XPU. Therefore, after the board is restarted, you must remove the XPU board, and then reinsert the poweredoff board regardless of whether the restart is successful.
Before installing the later version, you need to exit the LMT in earlier version firstly if the LMT is open. You can exit the LMT by choosing System > Exit. Install the new version LMT reference to BSC6000 V900R003 LMT Administration Guide.

Software and Hardware Preparations One PC that is installed with the Windows2000 or WindowsXP operating system and can log in to the GBAM through the network. An LMT in later version is available.
3.
Upgrade Procedure Determine whether it is the external GBAM mode or internal GOMU mode after the upgrade. If it is the external GBAM mode, choose GBAM when logging in to the LMT in later version in offline mode. If it is the internal GOMU mode, choose GOMU. The offline logging in to the LMT is successful. On the LMT, choose Configuration > Open Local Data File. In the displayed dialog box, choose the file saved in Backing Up Data Configuration Files Click Yes to perform data upgrade. Wait until a message box prompting that the upgrade is successful is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
Page 30 of 77
Click OK.The configuration data file is upgraded. On the LMT, choose Configuration > Back Up > Back Up Local Data. Data can be verified globally. If the verification fails, data cannot be backed up. The error information is listed in the dialog box. You need to reconfigure data to meet the verification rules. Then, choose Configuration > Back Up > Back Up Local Data again. If the check is successful, choose a backup path and input the file name to perform the backup. The default directory (LMT installation directory) for file backup is \BSC6000V900R003C01\BackupCfgData.
CAUTION
The function of the SCU port switch in BSC6000V900R001 is different from that in BSC6000V900R003. For the BSC6000V900R001, all the SCU ports are available without configurations and the SCU port switch is only used to determine whether to report the port alarm. For the BSC6000V900R003, the SCU port switch is the enabling switch of the port and is bound with the alarm switch. Therefore, after the data upgrade from BSC6000V900R001 to BSC6000V900R003 is complete, you should check the port configurations of all the SCU boards. If a certain port is used, the switch corresponding to the port should be enabled manually. If the port is not used, the switch should be disabled to avoid possible alarms.

NOTE
In step 1, for the GOMU, the IP address of the external network indicates the IP address that is permanently occupied by the active OMU. The LMT/M2000 can connect with the OMU Core through this IP address. Steps 2 and 3 are used to confirm the time zone and time of the current GBAM/GOMU. Perform the upgrade only after the confirmation. If the time zone and time are incorrect, perform the adjustment by referring to the BSC6000 V900R003 GOMU Management Guide. 1. Stopping the OMU Software:
# omuctrl stop
Enter y or yes. The following diagram shows the stopping of the OMU software.
2.
Uninstalling the Existing Software of the GBAM OMU # Run the following command on putty to query the OMU software installed:
rpm -q omu
Upgrading versions before B070 the command will returen two rpm install record because of a known bug, so twice rpm uninstall operation is needed.
Page 33 of 77
# rpm -e omu-9.3.1-61
#
rpm -e omu-9.3.1-62
putty
# omuctrl status
Run the following command on putty to check the running status of the OMU software:
3.
To delete the /BSC6000/bscswm folder and all the subdirectories and files under the /BSC6000/bscswm directory, run the following command on putty: #
rm /BSC6000/bscswm -R
To delete the subdirectories and all the files under the /BSC6000/data directory, run the following command on putty: #
rm /BSC6000/data/* -R
NOTE
Keep all files in the install directory for version rollback. If there are other folders or files except data and install (if there are files under the btsswm directory, the directory exists) under the BSC6000 directory, confirm whether these folders or files are required. If required, back up them to your local PC. Huawei recommends you to delete all the files irrelevant to the version on the GBAM.
Ensure that all the files related to the old data are deleted before the upgrade. If there are such files, the LMT cannot connect to the GBAM after the OMU software is installed.
Page 34 of 77
NOTE
If a single GOMU is connected through the IP address of the external network, the IP address is released when you run the omuctrl stop command to stop the OMU software. Therefore, you must ensure that the GOMU can be connected through the commissioning of the IP address.
During the upgrade of active/standby GOMU, if you run the omuctrl stop command, you must not perform other operations until the implementation of the command is complete. You must not press the CTRL+C buttons to terminate the implementation of the command. Otherwise, the IP address of the external network may not be used for communication. The following describes how the later version can be upgraded when the active/standby GOMUs run normally. n general, you should upgrade the two GOMUs respectively and always upgrade the current standby GOMU. 1. On the putty, connect the active OMU through the IP address of the external network.
Page 35 of 77
2.
Set the backup switch to forbidden state and view the status of the local end by running the cd /BSC6000/bscswm/omuroot/daemon, ./omutool backup disable, and ./omutool status commands.
3.
Query the IP address of the peer end by running the ./omutool status -peer command.
NOTE
If the query fails, you can infer that the backup channel is faulty. Check whether the standby board is running. If the standby board is not running, you need to run it.
If the standby board is running, you can infer that the backup channel is faulty and upgrade cannot be performed. You can contact the local Huawei office for technical support. 4. Check whether the time zone and time of the active board are correctly set by referring to section 4.7.1"Operation Preparations."
# date +%z

delete it. # 6.
rm -f /root/.ssh/known_hosts
Run the ssh command (ssh 192.168.10.123) to connect the standby board (the IP address of the standby board is the IP address of the peer end described in step 3). #
ssh 192.168.10.123
If the GOMU was once replaced, you may see the following print information.
7.
Check whether the time zone and time of the standby board are consistent with those of the active board. In case of inconsistency, perform adjustment by referring to section 4.7.1"Operation Preparations."

9.
Back up the earilier version install package, and copy the new version from actived OMU boarddo as follows:
# cd /BSC6000/install
#
rm rpmbak -rf
# md rpmbak
#
mv * rpmbak/
scp 192.168.10.121:/BSC6000/install/* .
To install OMU software on standby board, refer to sections inBSC6000 V900R003 GOMUAdministration Guide.
NOTE
The active and standby OMUs have different versions, so the newly started OMU Local on the standby board is always reset. 10. After the OMU software of the standby board is started, run the exit command to quit the connection and to return to the connection on the active OMU.
# exit
Page 38 of 77
12. Stop the running of the OMU software on the current active OMU by running the omuctrl stop command. The fault switchover is caused. After the standby board becomes active, the IP address of the external network is switched to the new active OMU.
# omuctrl stop
According to the prompted message, input yes (case sensitive) to stop the operation of the OMU software, and during the process, the putty is disconnected with the OMU. Wait for a period of time and then ping the IP address of the external network again.
NOTE
If the upgraded GOMU cannot be started and the IP address of the external network cannot be pinged, you can infer that the upgrade fails. Then contact the local Huawei office for technical support. 13. After the IP address of the external network is pinged, run the ssh command to connect the new standby board. #
ssh 192.168.10.121
Page 39 of 77
To install OMU software on standby board, refer to sections inBSC6000 V900R003 GOMUAdministration Guide.
14. After the standby board is installed, run the exit command to return to the connection on the active board. Turn on the backup switch by running the cd

NOTE
During the upgrade, do not perform consistency check or synchronization. The consistency check and synchronization function is used when the system is running normally. The function is used to check the data consistency between the OMU and the board. In case of inconsistency, perform data synchronization to ensure the data consistency between the OMU and the board. Through step 3, you can select a valid data file and restore the data. You can click Detail information to view the detailed information on the data file. Step 3 can be divided into two substeps: select Load file from local to GBAM, and then select Restore with GBAM file. After you perform step 4, the GBAM core process is reset automatically. For the description of board reset, refer to section 4.10"Upgrading Board Software." You need to exit the LMT and log in to it again. If the data file used for data restoration is the data file of the system before the upgrade, the information such as user authorities and the password is retained.
The OMU software is successfully installed. The OMU and the boards run normally. 2. Confirm that the data configuration is correct.
Confirm that the configuration data is consistent with that provided by the operator. The load control parameters of all the boards are Auto.

the follow command. # 3. ifconfig | grep 192.168.10 Run the follow command to reset a board (assume that the obtained IP address is
Explanation: Three parameters should be carried in the rus_sendreboot.bin command supplied in the upgrade progress. The first one is the local IP address, and you can run the ifconfig | grep 192.168.10 command to view the IP address used in the upgrade process. The second one is the IP address of the SCU in slot 6 of the receive party. The third one is the IP address of the SCU in slot 7 of the receive party.
CAUTION
After you run the ifconfig | grep 192.168.10 command, two IP addresses are displayed, which indicates that the configuration of IP addresses are exposed to risks. You need to modify the debug IP address to non 192.168.10 network segment or delete the redundant IP addresses.

objects are available at the bottom of the window. 3. 4. Click the BSC Load Progress tab. On the BSC Load Progress tab page, the subrack numbers and slot numbers of the current loaded boards as well as the loading progress are displayed. When the loading progress is 100%, check whether the boards on the BSC device panel are normal.
For details, refer to the HUAWEI BSC6000 Base Station Controller Hardware Installation Guide and the HUAWEI BSC6000 Base Station Controller LMT User Guide. 2. For the level 2 BIOS versions earlier than 105, the GEIUT/GOIUT on the Ater interface in the remote subrack does not support optical transmission or satellite transmission. If the Ater interface needs to use optical transmission or satellite transmission for networking, upgrade the level 2 BIOS to version 105 or later versions. Otherwise, the remote subrack may not be started. Method to avoid this problem: For optical transmission mode, configure the OMLs on the Ater interface on ports 0 and 62. After the board in the remote subrack is started, upgrade the level 2 BIOS to version 105. If this method cannot be used or if the remote links are in satellite transmission, the Ater interface board in the remote subrack must use the board where the level 2 BIOS version is 105, so that the board in the remote subrack can be started after the later version is activated. 3. If the operating status of a board on the LMT is abnormal, choose Alarm Maintenance > Browse Alarm to check whether the loading board software failed alarms (ID: 21019) are reported. If there are such alarms, refer to the BSC6000 Alarm Handling on the BSS Help System window to handle them.

The user selects the correct version to perform the upgrade. Download Software is used to download software.
This step can be skipped, however, you are advised not to skip it. If you are sure that the software in the version to be upgrade is successfully downloaded, the step can be skipped. Otherwise, the upgrade cannot be performed. If the previous upgrade is not complete or is abnormal, the upgrade progress is not closed. Thus, the
Page 50 of 77
software fails to be downloaded. The human interference on the local end is necessary. Download New Version Data is used to download the data in later version.
If you are sure that the data in the version to be upgraded is downloaded, the step can be skipped. If such data is not downloaded, but you skip the step, the upgrade fails. Load Software and BIOS is used to load software and BIOS.
In the step, the host software and level 2 BIOS are loaded online. In other words, Loading the Host Software Online described in section 4.3and Loading the Level 2 BIOS to a Board Online described in 4.4are complete in the step.] In the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box, you can observe the load progress and result. If the load fails, repeat the step. Because incremental load is achieved, the system reloads software to only the boards where software fails to be loaded. If several attempts for loading the software to some boards are made but all the attempts fail, only the human interface on the local end works. Then, check the reason why the loading fails and perform the corresponding processing. Upgrade Execution is used to perform the upgrade.
The upgrade of the OMU and the activation of a board are contained in this step. In the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box, you can observe the load progress and result. If the upgrade incurs an error, the First, Retry, and Rollback buttons are displayed in the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box. Click First. The whole process of the upgrade can be performed again. Click Retry. The upgrade continues to be performed from the point where the error occurs. You are advised to click Retry when an error occurs. Click Rollback. The system is rolled back to the version before the upgrade. After the rollback, if you need to perform the upgrade again, restart the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard. You need to perform the upgrade from the Select Upgrade Version step. The activation of a board requires your confirmation. When you perform this step, the Confirm and Rollback buttons are displayed in the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box. Click Confirm. The board is reset and the version is upgraded to a new one. Click Rollback. The system is rolled back to the version before the upgrade.
Page 51 of 77
After the rollback, if you need to perform the upgrade again, restart the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard. You need to perform the upgrade from the Select Upgrade Version step. Upgrade Submission is used to submit the upgrade.
If there are active and standby OMUs, you need to upgrade the standby OMU. If the standby OMU is faulty, the step fails. The human interference on the local end is necessary. Upgrade Rollback is used to roll back the upgrade.
If the rollback fails, the First and Exit buttons are displayed in the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box. Click First. The rollback is performed again. If several attempts for the rollback are made but all the attempts fail, click Exit to exit the BSC6000 Upgrade Wizard dialog box. The human interference on the local end is necessary.
