Background Information

A bank is a memory location in Cisco ONS 15305 where software and firmware are stored.

There are two banks. One stores the running software, and the other stores the backup software version. The backup software version can either be newly loaded software that awaits to be made active, or can be existing system software.

You can download Cisco ONS 15305 Release 1.1.0 from the ONS 15305 Software Download page ( registered customers only) .

Problem

After you install an AC 230V power module on a Cisco ONS 15305 that runs Software Release1.0.0, an inventory failure error message appears (see figure 1). The problem persists even if you upgrade to Software Release 1.1.0. The error message still appears.

Note:  Release 1.1.x and later support the AC 230V power module.

Solution

Load ONS 15305 Release 1.1.0 after you install the 230V module. Release 1.1.0 contains system control software files, which end with .bin. Release 1.1.0 also contains a network release file which ends with .def (see figure 2).
