2 Introduction to OMU
About This Chapter
The physical entity of the OMU is the OMUa board. The OMUa board collects and processes
the information about operation and maintenance (OM), and then reports the information to the
OM terminal: LMT or M2000.
2.1 Position of the OMU in the BSC6900
This describes the components of the BSC6900 OM subsystem and the position of the OMU in
the OM subsystem.
2.2 OMUa/OMUb Board
OMUa refers to Operation and Maintenance Unit REV:a. OMUb refers to Operation and
Maintenance Unit REV:b. One or two OMUa/OMUb boards must be configured in the
BSC6900. The width of the OMUa/OMUb board is twice the width of other boards. Therefore,
one OMUa/OMUb board occupies two slots. The board can be installed in slots 0 to 3, slots 20
to 23, or slots 24 to 27 in the MPS. Slots 24 to 27 are recommended.
2.3 GBAM
The BSC6900 uses three models of GBAM: IBM X3650T, HUAWEI C5210, and HP CC3310.
The GBAM is installed in the MPR.
2.4 OMU Software
OMU software refers to all the software running on the OMU.
2.5 OMU Working Mode
The OMU works in single-OMU or dual-OMU mode.
2.6 OMU OM Methods
This describes several scenarios and methods of the OMU OM.
2.7 OMU Safety Information
This describes the safety information related to OMU operation.

LMT Module (weblmt)
The LMT module traces messages, monitors performances, and maintains devices. It also
provides an interface for issuing MML commands.
Each process is logically independent, that is, when one process fails, other processes continue
to run normally. When a process stops unexpectedly, the OMU detects it in time and restarts the
process quickly.
2.5 OMU Working Mode
The OMU works in single-OMU or dual-OMU mode.
Single-OMU Mode
When the BSC6900 is configured with one OMUa/OMUb board, the OMU works in single-
OMU mode.
If the OMU is faulty, you cannot perform OM on the BSC6900. The system reliability is low
when the OMU is in single-OMU mode.
NOTE
The GBAM works in only single-GBAM mode. That is, a BSC is configured with only one GBAM.
Dual-OMU Mode
When the BSC6900 is configured with two OMUa/OMUb boards, the OMUs work in active/
standby mode, that is, dual-OMU mode.
In dual-OMU mode, the OMUa/OMUb board working in active mode is called the active OMUa/
OMUb board, that is, the active OMU; the OMUa/OMUb board working in standby mode is
called the standby OMUa/OMUb board, that is, the standby OMU.
When the BSC6900 is in dual-OMU mode, the OMU can operate normally with high reliability.
When a hardware or software fault occurs on the active OMU, the standby OMU is automatically
switched over and works in active mode and continues to provide services for users and the host.
NOTE
l Check the OMU working mode before you install the OMU applications.
l After the OMU applications are installed, run the DSP OMU command to query the OMU working mode.
l Use two OMUa or OMUb boards.

standby workspaces, and active and standby OMUs.
3.1 OMU Ethernet Adapter Configuration
This section describes the configuration of Ethernet adapters on the OMUa board, OMUb board,
and GBAM.
3.2 Planning of the OMU IP Addresses
The six OMU Ethernet adapters must follow the IP address planning principles to meet the
requirements of the communication in the operation and maintenance network.
3.3 OMU Networking Principle
The internal Ethernet adapters of the OMU are connected to the SCUa boards in the MPS, and
the external Ethernet adapters of the OMU are connected to the OM terminals. In this way, the
OMU helps the communication between the BSC6900 and the OM terminals.
3.4 Heartbeat Test on Active/Standby OMUs
The dual-OMU system monitors the heartbeat to ensure that the active and the standby OMUs
work properly.
3.5 Synchronization Between the Active OMU and the Standby OMU
In dual-OMU mode, the synchronization between the active OMU and the standby OMU
consists of data synchronization, file synchronization, and time synchronization.
3.6 Switchover Between the Active and Standby OMUs
When the OMU works in dual-OMU mode, there are four types of switchover, namely, manual
switchover, fault-triggered switchover, failover, and self-healing switchover.

3.1 OMU Ethernet Adapter Configuration
This section describes the configuration of Ethernet adapters on the OMUa board, OMUb board,
and GBAM.
Configuration of Ethernet Adapters on the OMUa Board
An OMUa board is configured with six Ethernet adapters in total. To enhance the network
reliability, two Ethernet adapters are teamed for the external network, that is, the communication
between the OMU and the LMT/M2000, and another two adapters are teamed for the
communication in the internal network, that is, the communication between the OMU and the
BSC6900 boards.
The six Ethernet adapters on the OMU are as follows:
l ETH0 and ETH1: The two Ethernet adapters are teamed as the external Ethernet adapter
team, that is, bond1/bond1:0, which is used for the communication between the OMU and
the LMT/M2000.
l ETH2: ETH2 (bond2), a debugging Ethernet adapter, is connected to a portable PC for
OMU debugging if required.
l ETH3-UPDATE: ETH3-UPDATE (bond3), a backup Ethernet adapter, is used for the
backup channel between the active OMU and the standby OMU when the BSC6900 is
configured with two OMUa boards.
l ETH4-SCU7 and ETH5-SCU6: The two Ethernet adapters are teamed as the internal
Ethernet adapter team, that is, bond0 (vlan1/vlan1:0), which is used for the communication
between the OMU and the BSC6900 host boards.

l ETH0, ETH1, and ETH2 are connected to the external network through the Ethernet ports on the panel
of the OMUa board. ETH4-SCU7, ETH5-SCU6, and ETH3-UPDATE are connected to the backplane
of the MPS, and you cannot see them on the panel of the OMUa board.
l bond1 and bond1:0: one for the external fixed IP address, and the other for the external virtual IP
address.
l ETH4-SCU7 and ETH5-SCU6 are teamed as the internal Ethernet adapter team, that is, bond0. To
enable the communication between the OMU and the SCUa board, a vlan whose ID is 1 needs to be
established on bond0. vlan1 is for the internal fixed IP address, and vlan1:0 is for the internal virtual
IP address.
Configuration of Ethernet Adapters on the OMUb Board
An OMUb board is configured with six Ethernet adapters in total. To enhance the network
reliability, two Ethernet adapters are teamed for the external network, that is, the communication
between the OMU and the LMT/M2000, and another two adapters are teamed for the
communication in the internal network, that is, the communication between the OMU and the
BSC6900 boards.
The six Ethernet adapters on the OMU are as follows:
l ETH0 and ETH1 are teamed as external Ethernet adapter team, that is, bond1 which is used
for the communications between the OMU and the LMT/M2000.
l ETH2: a debugging Ethernet adapter, is connected to a portable PC for OMU debugging
if required. The default IP address for ETH2 is 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
l ETH3-UPDATE serves as a backup Ethernet adapter of the OMU. When the BSC6900 is
configured with two OMUb boards, this Ethernet adapter works as a dedicated backup
channel between the active OMU and the standby OMU.
l ETH4-SCU7 and ETH5-SCU6 are teamed as the internal Ethernet adapter team, that is ,
bond0, which is used for the communication between the OMU and the BSC6900 boards.

Ethernet adapter teams on the GBAM are divided into internal Ethernet adapter team and external
Ethernet adapter team.
To bind the Ethernet adapters on the GBAM through an Ethernet adapter binding tool, do as
follows:
l Bind eth0 and eth1 integrated on the host as Ethernet adapter team bond0 in which eth0
and eth1 work in active/standby mode.
l Bind eth2 and eth3 installed in the PCI slot as Ethernet adapter team bond1 in which eth2
and eth3 work in active/standby mode. If only eth2 is installed on the PCI slot, then eth2
is bound as Ethernet adapter team bond1.
bond0 is the internal Ethernet adapter team in which eth0 and eth1 are internal Ethernet adapters
used for the communication between the GBAM and the BSC. eth0 and eth1 are automatically
configured with IP addresses 80.0.102.65 and 80.1.102.65 when they are bound as internal
Ethernet adapter team bond0. These two IP addresses are calculated based on the slot number
and subnet number. Currently, the slot number is 25 and subnet number is 80.
bond1 is the external Ethernet adapter team in which eth2 and/or eth3 are/is external Ethernet
adapter(s) used for the communication between the GBAM and the LMT/M2000. Only one IP
address 192.168.1.1 is configured for the external Ethernet adapter(s) when they are bound as
external Ethernet adapter team bond1 before delivery.
Both the GBAM local process and GBAM core process use bond0. The GBAM local process,
which uses IP address 80.0.102.65, is used for the configuration and maintenance on the GBAM.
The GBAM core process, which uses the IP address 80.1.102.65, performs operation and
maintenance on the BSC with the joint effort of the GBAM core process and BSC boards.
Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7 show the IP addresses for Ethernet adapters on the GBAM.

NOTE
l The OMU in the existing network involves OMUa board, OMUb board, and GBAM. OMUb board and
GBAM are legacy material, and thus do not require IP address planning in a site deployment. The original
IP addresses of the OMUb and GBAM can be reserved in the case of upgrade.
l For details on the Ethernet adapter configuration of the OMUb board and GBAM, see 3.1 OMU Ethernet
Adapter Configuration.
l The following describes the IP address planning in the case of OMUa board.
Definitions of IP addresses of the OMU
The OMU IP addresses include external/internal fixed IP addresses, external/internal virtual IP
addresses, and debugging IP address. If the BSC6900 is configured with two OMUa boards, the
OMU IP addresses also include the backup channel IP address of the active and standby OMUs.

Definition of Onsite Network
The network between the OMU external Ethernet adapters and the LMT/M2000 is defined as
external network, that is, onsite network. If the OMU external Ethernet adapters are connected
to the LMT/M2000 routers, then the network between the OMU external Ethernet adapters and
the first router (gateway) is defined as onsite network. Figure 3-8 shows the onsite network.
l The network between the OMU internal Ethernet adapters and the host boards is defined
as internal network. The OMU communicates with the base station through the host boards.
l The network between the OMU external Ethernet adapters and the LMT/M2000 is defined
as external network. The OMU is connected to the LMT/M2000 either directly or through
multiple routers (gateway).

M2000 are not located in the same network segment as the internal virtual IP address,
internal fixed IP address, backup channel IP address, and debugging IP address.
IP Addresses to Be Changed on Site
Before an OMU is delivered, six IP addresses are configured. For details, see 4.5.2 Checklist
for the Factory Settings of the OMU Software. The default IP addresses may not meet the
requirement of onsite planning. All the OMU IP addresses need to be planned on site, and some
of the IP addresses need to be re-set.
Generally, the external fixed IP address and external virtual IP address need to be re-set according
to the network planning of the customer. The backup channel IP addresses of OMUs are the
same before delivery. Therefore, the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby
OMUs need to be planned on site to avoid conflict.
l If one OMU is configured, the external fixed IP address and external virtual IP address
need to be planned in the way that they are located in the same network segment.
l If active and standby OMUs are configured, two external fixed IP addresses and one
external virtual IP address need to be planned in the way that they are located in the same
network segment. In addition, the backup IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs
need to be planned in the way that they are located in the same network segment and do
not conflict with each other.
Table 3-2 describes the planning principles of OMU IP addresses.
Table 3-2 Onsite planning of OMU IP addresses
IP Address Planning Principle
External fixed IP
address
The default external fixed IP address is 172.121.139.201 (255.255.255.0).
Planning principle:
1. The external fixed IP address should be changed on site so that the
external fixed IP address and the onsite network are located in the same
network segment. In addition, the external fixed IP address cannot
conflict with the onsite network.
2. If active and standby OMUs are configured, the external fixed IP
addresses of the active and standby OMUs must be different from and
located in the same network segment as the onsite network.
External virtual
IP address
You can change the external virtual IP address as required on site. Ensure
that the external virtual IP address and the external fixed IP address are in
the same network segment (This network segment is named external
network segment). In addition, the external virtual IP address cannot
conflict with other IP addresses in the network segment.
For example, in dual-OMU mode, if the external fixed IP address of the
active OMU is 172.121.139.201 and that of the standby OMU is
172.121.139.202, the external virtual IP address can be configured as
172.121.139.200.
In single-OMU mode, the external virtual IP address is set according to
the one of the active OMU in dual-OMU mode.

IP Address Planning Principle
Backup channel
IP address of the
active and
standby OMUs
The default backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs
is 192.168.3.50 (255.255.255.0).
Planning principle:
1. The network segment in which the backup IP addresses of the active
and standby OMUs cannot conflict with the onsite network segment.
If so, the backup channel IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs
must be changed.
2. In dual-OMU mode, the backup channel IP addresses of the active and
standby OMUs must be different and in the same network segment.
3. In single-OMU mode, reserve the default setting of the backup channel
IP address.

IP Addresses to Be Checked on Site
Other OMU IP addresses except the ones that needs to be changed on site need to be checked
on site. If they are located in the same network segment as the onsite network, they need to be
replanned and reconfigured. Table 3-3 describes the principles of checking the IP addresses.
Table 3-3 Onsite checking of OMU IP addresses
IP Address Checking Principle
Internal fixed IP
address
The default internal fixed IP address is 80.168.3.50 (255.0.0.0).
Checking principle:
1. The internal fixed IP address cannot conflict with the onsite network.
If so, it must be changed.
2. Only the network segment where the internal fixed IP address can be
changed. For example, 80.168.3.50 is changed to 90.168.3.50.
3. In dual-OMU mode, the internal fixed IP addresses of the active and
standby OMUs must be different and in the same network segment.
4. In single-OMU mode, if the network segment where the internal fixed
IP address is located does not conflict with the onsite network segment,
reserve the default setting of the internal fixed IP address.
Internal virtual
IP address
The internal virtual IP address must be located in the same subnet with
the internal fixed IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs. This
subnet is named as the OMU internal network segment. In addition, the
internal virtual IP address cannot be identical with other IP addresses in
the subnet.
For example, in dual-OMU mode, if the internal fixed IP address of the
active OMU is 80.168.3.50 and that of the standby OMU is 80.168.3.60,
the internal virtual IP address can be configured as 80.168.3.40.
In single-OMU mode, the external virtual IP address is set according to
the one of the active OMU in dual-OMU mode.

IP Address Checking Principle
Debugging IP
address
The factory setting of the debugging IP address is 192.168.6.50
(255.255.255.0).
Checking principle:
1. The debugging IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs cannot
conflict with other IP addresses in the onsite network. If so, the
debugging IP addresses must be changed.
2. In dual-OMU mode, the debugging IP addresses of the active and
standby OMUs must be different and in the same network segment.
For example, in dual-OMU mode, the debugging IP address of the
active OMU is 192.168.6.50 (255.255.255.0), and the debugging IP
address of the standby OMU is 192.168.6.60 (255.255.255.0).
3. In single-OMU mode, if the network segment where the internal fixed
IP address is located does not conflict with the onsite network segment,
reserve the default setting of the internal fixed IP address.

Impact of Changes of OMU IP Addresses
Changing IP addresses impact the working of the BSC6900, as described in Table 3-4.
Table 3-4 Impact of Changes of OMU IP Addresses
IP Address Change Impact
External fixed IP
address
After the external fixed IP address is changed, the device that is connected
to the external Ethernet port cannot access the OMU unless through the
new external fixed IP address.
External virtual
IP address
After the external virtual IP address is changed, the device that is
connected to the OMU through the IP address cannot access the OMU
unless through the new external virtual IP address.
Internal fixed IP
address
The planning of the internal fixed IP address must be consistent with that
of the IP address for the BSC6900 host boards. After the internal fixed IP
address is changed, reset the BSC6900 host so that the communication
between the OMU and the BSC6900 host can be re-established.
The internal fixed IP address is changed usually when the OMU is
debugged on site to avoid negative effects caused by frequency resets of
the BSC6900 during daily maintenance.
Internal virtual
IP address
After the internal virtual IP address is changed, reset the BSC6900 host
so that the communication between the OMU and the BSC6900 host can
be re-established.
The internal virtual IP address is changed usually when the OMU is
debugged on site to avoid negative effects caused by frequency resets of
the BSC6900 during daily maintenance.

IP Address Change Impact
Backup channel
IP address of the
active and
standby OMUs
After the backup channel IP addresses of the active/standby OMUs are
changed, reset the OMUs so that the communication between the active
OMU and the standby OMU can be re-established.
l In dual-OMU mode, the backup channel IP addresses of the active and
standby OMUs must be in the same network segment. Otherwise, the
communication between the active and standby OMUs fails.
l In single-OMU mode, you need not change the backup channel IP
address.
Debugging IP
address
After the debugging IP address is changed, the device that is connected to
the debugging Ethernet port cannot access the OMU unless through the
new debugging IP address.

NOTE
l The internal and external fixed IP addresses are bound to the OMUa board, and the internal and external
virtual IP addresses are bound to the active OMU. For example, after the switchover of the active/standby
OMUs, the internal/external fixed IP addresses of the original active/standby OMUs remain the same, the
internal/external virtual IP addresses of the original active OMU become the internal/external virtual IP
addresses of the original standby OMU, and there is no internal/external virtual IP addresses for the original
active OMU.
l The following IP addresses must be in the same network segments: internal fixed IP address and internal
virtual IP address, external fixed IP address and external virtual IP address, backup channel IP address of
the active OMU and backup channel IP address of the standby OMU, debugging IP address of the active
OMU and debugging IP address of the standby OMU. The network segments cannot conflict with each
other, and the IP addresses in a network segment cannot conflict with each other neither.
l Record the IP addresses in 4.5.1 Records of OMU Software Installation Information.
3.3 OMU Networking Principle
The internal Ethernet adapters of the OMU are connected to the SCUa boards in the MPS, and
the external Ethernet adapters of the OMU are connected to the OM terminals. In this way, the
OMU helps the communication between the BSC6900 and the OM terminals.
Single-OMUa/OMUb Networking Principle

OMU through the backplane to fulfill the data synchronization and the OMU software update
between the active and standby OMUs.

GBAM Networking Principle
Figure 3-11 shows the networking principle concerning the GBAM and LAN switch.
Figure 3-11 GBAM networking topology

As shown in Figure 3-11, eth0 and eth1 are internal Ethernet adapters, and eth2 and eth3 are
external Ethernet adapters. The HUAWEI C5210 GBAM has only one external Ethernet adapter,
that is, the HUAWEI C5210 GBAM does not have eth3. This figure takes two external Ethernet
adapters of he GBAM as an example.
The two internal Ethernet adapters of the GBAM are respectively connected to ports 10 on the
active and standby SCUa boards in the MPS. Ports 10 on the active and standby SCUa boards
in the MPS form a trunk group. This ensures that the communication between the GBAM and
the SCUa board is normal even if the Ethernet port on the GBAM or SCUa board fails. There
are twelve 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports on the panel of each SCUa board. Port 10 is used
to connect the SCUa board to the GBAM, and other ports are used to connect the SCUa board
to other boards in the MPS in star network topology.
NOTE
Trunk group is a function based on which multiple physical ports are bound to serve as a logical port, so that
multiple links are backed up and balance of traffic volume is achieved between multiple links.

3.4 Heartbeat Test on Active/Standby OMUs
The dual-OMU system monitors the heartbeat to ensure that the active and the standby OMUs
work properly.
The heartbeat refers to messages with responses. Both the active and the standby OMUs send
the heartbeat. The dual-OMU system monitors the heartbeat to ensure that the active and the
standby OMUs work properly and the network connection is normal.
The principle of heartbeat test is: The active/standby OMUs send a message about its status to
each other and simultaneously check the message from each other, and then determine the active/
standby state according to the active/standby policy, and finally switchover is performed through
negotiation. If an OMU cannot receive the message from the other for a period, the latter is
considered faulty and the switchover is triggered.
3.5 Synchronization Between the Active OMU and the
Standby OMU
In dual-OMU mode, the synchronization between the active OMU and the standby OMU
consists of data synchronization, file synchronization, and time synchronization.
Data Synchronization
The OMU data is dynamic, which changes when the BSC6900 is working. After the standby
OMU starts, the active OMU data is fully synchronized and then the increments are
synchronized. This ensures that the OMU can work normally after the switchover.
File Synchronization
The synchronization between active OMU files and standby OMU files is mainly applicable to
the dynamically changing files. The dynamic changing files include license file, board program,
BOOTROM file, DSP file, patch file, and performance measurement file, and so on. The
software module on the standby OMU regularly checks the active OMU files and synchronizes
the dynamic files on the active OMU with those on the standby OMU, so that the files on the
active and standby OMUs are the same.
Time Synchronization
Time synchronization means that the sntp module on the standby OMU regularly synchronizes
the time with that of the sntp module on the active OMU so that the time on the active and
standby OMUs is the same.
3.6 Switchover Between the Active and Standby OMUs
When the OMU works in dual-OMU mode, there are four types of switchover, namely, manual
switchover, fault-triggered switchover, failover, and self-healing switchover.

NOTE
During the switchover process, the communication between the OM terminals and the OMU is interrupted
for about one to two minutes. In addition, operation and maintenance cannot be performed on the LMT
until the switchover is complete successfully.
Manual Switchover
If the OMU works in dual-OMU mode and the data synchronization between the active OMU
and the standby OMU is normal, you can manually switch over the OMUs as required, for
example, in the case that the active OMU needs to be manually shut down for software/hardware
upgrade or fault rectification. To manually switch over the OMUs, you can run the SWP
OMU command on the MML client or refer to Switching Over the BSC Boards. After the manual
switchover, the standby OMU is in active mode, and the active OMU is in standby mode.
The manual switchover can be performed only when the active and standby OMUs work
properly. In addition, at least one of the following prerequisites must be met:
l The message in response to the execution of the DSP OMU command indicates that the
Data-sync state is Data synchronization is successful.
l The data synchronization between the active OMU and the standby OMU is stopped
through the STP DATASYNC command.
l The message in response to the execution of the DSP OMU command shows that the
version of the active OMU applications is different from that of the standby OMU
applications.
CAUTION
Before performing the manual switchover, do not perform any operation that may change the
data in the database, such as configuring data and changing the user information.
Fault-Triggered Switchover
When the active/standby OMUs run normally, the active OMU maintains the BSC6900 and the
standby OMU monitors the active OMU. If a fault occurs on the active OMU and persists for
more than five minutes, the standby OMU automatically switches over to be in active mode.
Once the fault is rectified, the original active OMU works in standby mode. If the fault is rectified
within five minutes, the switchover does not occur.
The fault-triggered switchover caused by loss of heartbeat is classified as follows:
l If a heartbeat message is not received through any one of the heartbeat channels within one
minute, you can infer that the heartbeat is interrupted. In this case, the active OMU generates
an alarm.
l You can query the Internal network link state, External network link state, and Backup
network link state through the execution of the DSP OMU command. If the three channels
between the active OMU and the standby OMU is disrupted for five minutes but the internal
and external networks of the standby OMU works normally, then the standby OMU is
automatically switched over to the active OMU.

Issue 01 (2010-04-10)
Failover
When the active OMU runs for a longer time than the failover interval, a failover occurs. The
failover may interrupt OMU services for a short period. To reduce the impact on the services,
the failover usually occurs between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m..
You can run the SET ASWPARA command to set whether the failover between the active OMU
and the standby OMU is allowed. You can also run this command to set the failover interval.
NOTE
Note that you should not set parameters during the failover. However, you can query when the failover occurs
through the LST ASWPARA command.
Self-Healing Switchover
Self-healing switchover is a method of self-healing for the OMU.
When the hard disk capacity overflows, processes are abnormal, and the internal or external
Ethernet adapter team does not receive or send any message in 10 minutes, the standby OMU
triggers self-healing switchover automatically and reports the alarm ALM-20701 OMU Failure
Switchover.

l Choose Software Version Offline Tools to obtain the Dopra Linux tool package.
4.2.2 Preparing the USB Installation Disk
This describes how to prepare the USB installation disk to quickly install, recover, and switch
the OMU operating system.
Prerequisite
l The capacity of the USB disk is 2 GB at least. If the BSC6900 is configured with active/
standby OMUs, two USB disks are needed.
l The USB disk is inserted in an available USB port on the portable computer.
l The USB port on the portable computer can be read and written.
l The planned IP addresses and OMU name are obtained.
Context
The USB installation disk can be used to install the OMU operating system or both the OMU
operating system and the OMU applications. This depends on whether the OMU version
installation package or patch installation package is installed during the process the USB
installation disk is prepared.
The USB installation disk is used in the following scenarios:
l Initial installation of the OMU operating system and applications
l Recovery of the collapsed OMU operating system
l Switch the current OMU operating system to the target operating system.
NOTE
The operating system of the BSC6000 is Suse Linux and that of the BSC6900 is Dopra Linux. After the
BSC6000 is upgraded to the BSC6900, the OMU operating system needs to be switched.
When the USB installation disk is used to perform operations on the OMU, the data on the OMU
is impacted:
l If the OMU operating system is installed through the USB installation disk, the OMU hard
disk is formatted, and thus the OMU data is lost. Make sure you have backed up the OMU
data before you install the OMU operating system through the USB installation disk.
l If the operation mode of the USB installation disk is Recover, then only the OMU operating
system is recovered, and the OMU applications and configuration data are reserved.
l If the operation mode of the USB installation disk is Switch, then all the OMU data is re-
moved to the new operating system smoothly, and the OMU application data is reserved.

5.3.10 Replacing the Public and Private Key Certificate Files
The public and private key certificate files match the OMU operating system. When the OMU
operating system changes, the public and private key certificate files of the active and standby
OMUs need to be synchronized so that you can log in to the OMU successfully.
Prerequisite
The IP addresses of the active and standby OMUs are obtained.
Context
This task is optional. Perform this task in the following scenarios:
l A single OMU is replaced by active and standby OMUs.
l The faulty standby OMU is replaced by a backup standby OMU.
l The standby OMU is reinstalled with operating system.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the standby OMU by referring to Logging In to the OMU.
Step 2 Run the cd /etc/ssh command to go to the directory where the public and private key certificate
files are saved.

5.3.15 Changing the Connection Mode of the OMU Ethernet
Adapters
This section describes how to change the connection mode of the external Ethernet adapters of
the active/standby OMUs to match the connection mode of the switch in order to keep the normal
connection of the network.
Prerequisite
The setting of the connection mode of the switch is complete.
Context
The connection mode information of the switch is obtained. You can obtain the information in
the following ways:
l Running the command associated with the connection mode of the switch
l Contacting the maintenance personnel on the switch side from the customer
The principles for setting the connection mode of the Ethernet adapters are as follows:
l If the connection mode of the switch is forced mode, the connection mode of the external
Ethernet adapters of the OMU must be set to forced mode.
l If the connection mode of the switch is adaptive mode, the connection mode of the external
Ethernet adapters of the OMU must be set to adaptive mode.
Procedure
l Query the configuration of the OMU external Ethernet adapters
1. Log in to the OMU by referring to Logging In to the OMU.
2. Type the /root/eth_alias_omu.sh command and press Enter to query the mapping
between the physical and logical Ethernet adapters, as shown in Figure 5-8.

NOTE
The three columns of the configuration of OMU Ethernet adapters are detailed as follows:
l The first column lists the logical OMU Ethernet adapters for software identification.
l The second column lists the Peripheral Component Identity (PCI) of the Ethernet adapters
for hardware identification.
l The third column lists the physical OMU Ethernet adapters for human identification.
The mapping between the second and third columns cannot be changed. The mapping between
the first and second columns, and the mapping between the first and third columns depend on
the configuration of the OMU.
As indicated in Figure 5-8, the Ethernet adapters of the OMU, eth4 and eth5, are
external Ethernet adapters. These two Ethernet adapters are connected to the switch,
and thus their connection mode must be the same as that of the switch.
l Change the configuration of the OMU external Ethernet adapters
NOTE
The following takes the example of changing the connection mode of eth4 from adaptive mode to forced
full-duplex mode when the connection mode of the switch is forced full-duplex mode.
1. Log in to the OMU by referring to Logging In to the OMU.
2. Run the ethtool eth4 command to query the connection mode of eth4, as shown in
