I.

PURPOSE
1. This guideline describes how to switch over the active BSC Board and the
standby BSC Board.
2. When the active board is faulty, you can switch all the services over to the
standby board to ensure the normal operation of the system. Only the admin,
ADMINISTRATOR-level, and authorized CUSTOM-level users can perform
this operation.

PREREQUISITES
1. Before you perform the switchover, ensure that the standby board is present
and running normally without any critical or major alarms.
2. You can query the status of a board through menu operations or through MML
commands.
V.
CAUTION
1. If the Board Switchover fails, the configuration data is not affected but the
services will be disrupted. Thus, perform this task with caution.
2. Resetting the Board may affect the Ongoing Services. Thus, you are advised to
perform the Switchover when the traffic load is light, for example, in the
middle of the night.
3. All boards configured in Active/Standby Mode support Switchover operations.
Only the Active Board can initiate the Switchover, except the OMUa board.
The OMUa board also supports Switchover initiated by the Standby Board.
4. Do not perform data configuration within 10 to 15 seconds after the
Active/Standby Switchover of the Board; otherwise, data inconsistency may
occur.

Resetting the BSC Board.
2. If you want to Switchover the OMUa Board, you have to compare Data
Inconsistency between Active and Standby OMUa.
3. Use the command CMP OMUDATA to compare the data of the Active and
Standby OMUs. Pay Attention in the compare result.
For Example: To compare the data of the Active and Standby OMUs, run
the following command:
CMP OMUDATA:;
%%CMP OMUDATA:;%%

In the displayed Switch BSC Board dialog box, set the Parameters as required, and
then click Switch to Switch Over the Boards.
b. Through MML commands
Run the SWP BRD command to switch over the BSC boards.
Example: To Switch Over the SCUa Boards in Subrack 1 (Subrack No. = 1; Slot
No. = 6), run the following command: SWP BRD: SRN=1, SN=6;
