1 Purpose
[MoP Purpose]
The purpose of this Method of Procedure (MOP) is to identify and communicate the key steps
and actions required as part of the LTE RAN G2 Baseband L17A Software

4 Reporting
[BENT report is requested for RAN and SIU/TCU can follow your own reporting method]
BENT tool shall be used to register LTE G2 BASEBAND upgrade/updates, both successful
and failed.
During the LTE G2 BASEBAND upgrade no other maintenance activities are allowed in the
G2 BASEBAND or in the related IP network.
The table below shows a summary of the expected disturbances during the LTE G2
BASEBAND upgrade. The time of the disturbance vary depending on the size of the G2
BASEBAND configuration.

LTE G2 BASEBAND Disturbances One Restart will take place per G2 2-10 minutes depending on
BASEBAND in the network. configuration
6 Prerequisites
[Any prerequisites or limitation for the new SW or upgrade]
The main upgrade activities will be performed with SHM in OSS_16.2.8. The minimum
required OSS need to check “Compatibility Matrix” for details
Extract from ALEX OSS 16.2.8 library - SHM, Software Hardware Manager, User Guide
1/1553-CNA 403 2428 Uen L7. Below table shows the current maximum batch sizes for
some operation. Therefore, to provide some “head room” for all users it is best to limit
simultaneous G2 upgrades, backup etc. to approx. 100-150.
Subject Requirement Description
SHM Parallel Operations SHM supports 200 parallel operations.
Concurrent SHM sessions It shall be possible to support at least 10 concurrent client instances of the SHM application.
Number of concurrent SHM application shall be able to maintain at least 30 upgrade packages (with the assumption that
upgrade packages the average size of an upgrade package is 800MB).
Number of topology nodes SHM application handles at least 5000 topology nodes (including subnetworks and groups) in a
single topology (ONRM or site).
Export Hardware Inventory It shall be possible to export the 200 nodes H/W inventory from the SHM GUI application within 3
minutes.
Export Software Inventory It shall be possible to export the 200 nodes S/W inventory from the SHM GUI application within 3
minutes.
SW Upgrade duration The SW upgrade (prepare+activate together) duration shall not exceed 55 minutes on single node.
Backup time It shall be possible to create the backup of 200 nodes from the SHM GUI application within 5
minutes.

A Health Check must be performed before the SW upgrade to verify that all prerequisites for
a successful upgrade are met.
Before upgrade to 16B GA (or later) SW, make sure that positionRef attribute in Support
System FieldReplaceableUnit MOs is configured. It refers to the cabinet where the actual
Baseband Unit FRU is located. If not configured it could have impact on power regulation
and battery charging in different cabinets. Thus all valid configurations are required to have
the “FieldReplaceableUnit:PositionRef” set, and cannot be left empty. If not set properly
alarm “Inconsistent Configuration FieldReplaceableUnit=5 (Attribute positionRef is empty, or
not valid)” will be issued. [2]
LTE G2 BASEBAND available hard drive space and Backup amount requirements.
The disk full alarm must not be ignored (when disk usage is above 80%), it’s important
to remove unnecessary files from the disk before upgrade. [2]

BASEBAND
All LTE G2 BASEBAND must have Key Files (KFs) installed to activate the license
controlled functionality and node capabilities. The Installation of the LKF should be done
before upgrading the node. The activation state of, and capacity configured for licenses
present in the LRAN product to be upgraded is retained after the upgrade.
New Licenses
Codes (HWAC) for baseband capacity is introduced in Baseband Radio Nodes. As the need
for additional resources grow over time, the HWAC can be upgraded to grant additional
capacity.
Each Radio Access Technology (RAT) in the Baseband unit uses a separate HWAC,
meaning that the baseband capacity can be adjusted individually per RAT. HWACs are
coupled to the hardware unit it's activated on, and cannot be moved to other units.
In LTE, the MO class ENodeBFunction reflects granted and maximum capacity in throughput
levels, in the following MO attributes:
ulBbCapacityNet
ulBbCapacityMaxLimit
dlBbCapacityNet
dlBbCapacityMaxLimit

The alarm Resource Allocation Failure is raised when the node is unable to allocate
baseband hardware resources to a cell due to an insufficient HWAC level.
Note: Incorrect setting of the system clocks of the nodes in which License Keys (LKs) are
installed may lead to failure to install the KFs. Failure to install the LKF prior to the upgrade
can result in deactivating of features or reduction of capacity after the upgrade. An alarm is
issued when the LKF is not installed. For more details, please refer the [1] “License check
procedure for LTE Upgrade”.
A successful system upgrade requires that a valid network time is applied for LTE G2
BASEBAND.
Make sure that a proper and working backup of the From-state SW (UP) is available
Make sure that a proper and working Upgrade Package (UP) with its files (load modules) is
available
External node combinations, the minimum required external node level need to check
“Compatibility Matrix” for details
The package has been verified together with EPC (Evolved Packet Core) system versions.

8 Fallback Plan
[Roll back procedure]
8.1 Criteria
3. OSS lost sync with LTE G2 BASEBAND after upgrading, which can’t be
fixed by troubleshooting/emergency-handling within maintenance window.
IMPORTANT COMMENTS:
For example, 1st upgrading was rolled back to Rollback backup, and we
find the reason/remedy promptly, so we will do 2nd upgrade attempts if
the time can be controlled within maintenance window.
2. When basic function has a problem, or node lost sync with OSS, the first
action is troubleshooting, instead of fallback directly.

8.2 Procedures
If the LTE G2 BASEBAND NODE Upgrade fails, a set of fallback procedures are described in
this chapter.
Caution!
The Fallback has to be performed in cooperation with Ericsson Local Support and with customer
8.2.1 Fallback 1
If installation fails again, check Health Check result file for disc space, if
disc space is too low continue with next step, otherwise contact Ericsson
local support.
2016-12-14 A
8.2.2 Fallback 2
1. If the status in SHM is not Awaiting confirm, login LTE G2 BASEBAND
and check which CV is currently loaded. If the CV is SU_rev_date_time, the
upgrade is almost finished. Try to confirm the upgrade manually.
Moshell command: acc <upgrade package> confirmUpgrade
If the backup is confirmed at this step and a Final backup is created, then
perform the applicable steps after Verify the Upgrade status and create a
new Final backup if any configuration changes are done.
For a complete fallback restart on the backup that was startable before the
upgrade. Remove the failed upgrade package, see Fallback 1. It is then
possible to retry the whole procedure, starting with SW installation, using
SHM.
