NTP-G103 Back Up the Database

 

---

Step 1 Complete the G46 Log into CTC at the node you want to back up. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Maintenance > Database tabs.

Step 3 Click Backup .

Step 4 Save the database on the workstation’s hard drive or on network storage. Use an appropriate file name with the DB file extension; for example, database.db.

Step 5 Click Save .

Step 6 Click OK in the confirmation dialog box.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

 

NTP-G104 Restore the Database

 

---

Note You must back up and restore the database for each node on a circuit path in order to maintain a complete circuit.

---

Note The following parameters are restored only when the Complete Database (System and Provisioning) checkbox is checked: node name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database on this node, the circuits automatically map to the newly renamed node. It is recommended to keep a record of the old and new node names.

---

---

---

Step 1 Complete the G46 Log into CTC at the node where you are restoring the database. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Circuits tab. Verify that no optical channel network connection (OCHNC) circuits have a PARTIAL_OOS state. If so, investigate and resolve the partial state before continuing.

Step 3 Complete the G157 Disable Automatic Power Control.

Step 4 In multishelf view (multishelf mode) or in node view (single-shelf mode), click the Maintenance > Database tabs.

Step 5 Click Restore .

Step 6 Locate the database file stored on the workstation hard drive or on network storage.

---

Note To clear all existing provisioning, locate and upload the database found on the latest ONS 15454 software CD.

Step 7 Click the database file to highlight it.

Step 8 Click Open . The DB Restore dialog box appears.

---

Step 9 If you need a complete database restore, check the Complete database (System and Provisioning) checkbox. Continue with Step 11.

---

Note Complete database restore may be used only on a node that is removed from the network, and does not carry live provisioning traffic. This operation needs to be done by a live operator onsite, and must not use a remote connection.

Step 10 If you need to restore only the provisioning database (partial restore), do not check the Complete database (System and Provisioning) checkbox.

Step 11 Click Ok .

The Restore Database dialog box monitors the file transfer.

Step 12 Wait for the file to complete the transfer to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card.

Step 13 Click OK when the “Lost connection to node, changing to Network View” dialog box appears. Wait for the node to reconnect.

Step 14 Complete the G158 Enable Automatic Power Control.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

 

NTP-G105 Restore the Node to Factory Configuration

 

---

---

---

---

Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored when you delete the database and restore the factory settings: node name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new renamed node. Cisco recommends keeping a record of the old and new node names.

---

Note A node will remain locked in secure mode even if it is restored with the factory database. A node locked in secure mode can only be unlocked by Cisco Technical Support.

---

Step 1 If you need to install or replace one or more TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards, see the “DLP-G33 Install the TCC2, TCC2P, or TCC3 Card” in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installation Guide .

Step 1 Identify the node that you want to power down. If no cards are installed, go to Step 20. If cards are installed, log into the node. See the G46 Log into CTC for instructions.

Step 2 Choose Go to Network View from the View menu.

Step 3 Verify that the node is not connected to a network.

a. If the node is part of a Software R4.7 or later dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) configuration, see the G130 Remove a DWDM Node continue with Step 4.

b. If the node is not connected to a working network and the current configurations are no longer required, proceed to Step 4.

---

Note Before the power-down of a DWDM node, the fiber spans connected around it must be disconnected from the network. This is to prevent the accidental disconnection of wavelengths that pass through the shelf. A good indication that the shelf has been disconnected from the network is optical service channel (OSC) alarms, or no OSC channels provisioned.

---

Note Current configurations will be saved if Steps 4 to 20 are skipped.

Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Circuits tab and verify that no circuits appear, then proceed to Step 5. If circuits appear, delete all the circuits that originate or terminate in the node. Complete the G106 Delete Optical Channel Network Connections, the G347 Delete Optical Channel Client Connections, or the G112 Delete Overhead Circuits as needed.
