Fact APG40
Symptom Both APG Nodes are faulty and to be replaced with new nodes
Cause New APG node is not on required Software Level & hence needs to be
upgraded .
Ex: APG node along with new APZ(say 2 12 40)is not on required minimum level of
software.
Fix Solution:
CONDITIONS:-
- The procedure is to be performed locally at site
- Two Nos of Monitor, Keyboard & Mouse are required
- VERIFIED Backup of Another APG 40 node at desired level is available in two
different DAT, one for each A and B node.
-Backup of all RELFSWX required files from the L: drive should be taken and safely
stored on DAT. These backups will need to be transferred on the new node once in
service.
-After completing this procedure, the Node will be exactly the image of the node, from
which Backup was taken .Hence all IP, User Name, Password Need to changed as per
customer requirement.
-All required site-specific information has been gathered from the live system, and a DT
file has been prepared to map these changes on the new node once in service.
-This procedure should only be performed by someone with Advance Working
Experience in APG40 and if performed in A live Network it must be performed under
close supervision of Ericsson Support.
-Knowledge of Cable and other connections on APG is must.
-Following this procedure improperly may leads to APG40 Completely Faulty.
PROCEDURE:-
1.1.1 Power-up of replacement/un configured nodes.
The two nodes are received, and the following steps will be used to power-up these nodes
such that they don't interfere with each other with regards to PDC/BDC negotiation.
1) Insert both nodes into the rack.
2) Connect a LCT, mouse and keyboard to each node.
note: At this point, only the LCT, mouse, and keyboard are connected on each node. The
nodes should not be interconnected amongst each other (SCSI, Ethernet, heartbeat, etc·)
3) Power up both nodes simultaneously by inserting the power cable in its
appropriate location in each node.
4) Wait for the nodes to come up. When the Windows NT logon screen appears, login
to each node as "Administrator" user.
5) We will now prepare DAT restore of online backups on laboratory nodes
6) Open an MS-DOS command tool. Startà runà cmd . This should be done on both
nodes.
7) Delete the contents of the D: Drive by issuing the following commands in the MS-
DOS command tool opened. This should be done on both nodes.
C:\> d: (This will change working drive to the D: drive)
D:\> del *.* (answer Y at the prompt)
D:\> rd /s /q .
8) Ensure the D: drive is empty. This should be done on both nodes.
D:\> dir (should result in no file listing)
9) Insert DAT tape labelled NodeA in the tape drive of the node on the left hand side.
10) Insert DAT tape labelled NodeB in the tape drive of the node on the right hand
side.
11) Start the Windows NT Backup Tool.
Startà Programs à Administrative tools (Common) à Backup
12) Expand the tape window, and wait while the tape driver is busy until the label of
the tape is shown. Ensure the tape label of the node on the left hand side reads Node A,
and the one on the right hand side reads Node B. This should be done on both nodes.
1.1.2 Execute DAT restore of online backups on laboratory nodes
13) Now that the contents of the DAT tape are visible, from the tape window select
the backup to be restored by clicking the checkbox next to it (it should be the only one
available).
14) Click on the "Restore" button. A new window will appear. Check that the restore
will be made to the D: drive and choose the alternatives "Restore Local Registry" and
"Restore File Permissions" by clicking in the appropriate checkboxes. Press "OK" to start
the transfer. If asked to replace files, click "Yes" to all. This should be done on both
nodes. This step should take about 40 minutes.
15) Wait until the copying is finished and then close the tape Backup tool. This
should be done on both nodes and can be done simultaneously.
1.1.3 BURserver manipulations
Now that the online backups have been stored on the D: drive, we must ensure that the
BUR server service is started such that we are able to execute the "burrestore" command.
NOTE :- IF YOU HAVE COPIED THE ZIP FILE THEN UNZIP IT USING
FOLLOWING COMMAND :-
pkzip25 -extract -dir filename.zip
Note: All steps in this section must be done on both nodes.
16) Open an MS-DOS command window.
17) Stop the burserver with the following command
C:\> net stop burserver
note: If no BUR is installed on the new node, then the following error (1060) will be
presented on the screen. Ignore that and continue.
18) Still from the MS-DOS command window, execute the following step to register
the Burserver as a service and then start it.
C:\> D:
D:\> cd Program Files
D:\Program Files> cd AP\ACS\Bin
D:\Program Files\AP\ACS\bin> burserver -service
D:\Program Files\AP\ACS\bin> net start burserver
Note This procedure can also be used to restore APG40 in a live network if there is
1.No valid backup is available for the node and hence using the backup of other APG is
the only option left.
