NTP-G103 Back Up the Database

Step 1 Complete the DLP-G46 Log into CTC task 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.

Caution If you are restoring the database on multiple nodes, wait approximately one minute after the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card reboot has completed on each node before proceeding to the next node.

---

Caution TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards can be used in single IP address (repeater) and dual IP address (secure) mode. The secure mode has advanced features that affect database restore. A database from a secure node cannot be loaded on an unsecure repeater node. A repeater mode database can be loaded onto a secure node but the database will follow the node characteristics (that is, it will become secure). A secure database cannot be loaded onto a TCC2; only TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards support secure mode. For more information about the dual IP secure mode, see the G26 Set Up CTC Network Access. Also refer chapter, “ Chapter22, “Manage Network Connectivity”

---

Step 1 Complete the DLP-G46 Log into CTC task 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 DLP-G157 Disable Automatic Power Control task

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.

Caution Opening a restore file from another node or from an earlier backup might affect traffic on the login node.

---

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/TNCE/TSC/TSCE 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 DLP-G158 Enable Automatic Power Control task.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Note During the database restore process, GMPLS circuits provisioned after the database was backed up may go into the partial state. When this occurs, delete and recreate the GMPLS circuits to revert to the discovered state.

NTP-G105 Restore the Node to Factory Configuration

Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you keep different node databases in separate folders. This is because the reinitialization tool chooses the first product-specific software package in the specified directory if you use the Search Path field instead of the Package and Database fields. You might accidentally copy an incorrect database if multiple databases are kept in the specified directory.

---

Caution Restoring a node to the factory configuration deletes all cross-connects on the node.

---

Caution Cisco recommends that you save the node database to safe location if you will not be restoring the node using the database provided on the software CD.

---

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 G33 Install the TCC2, TCC2P, or TCC3 Card. If you need to install one or more TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards, see the G604 Install the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE Card.

Step 2 If you are using Microsoft Windows, complete the G248 Use the Reinitialization Tool to Clear the Database and Upload Software (Windows).

Step 3 If you are using UNIX, complete the G249 Use the Reinitialization Tool to Clear the Database and Upload Software (UNIX).

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of editing the defaults file.

Step 7 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that defaults were successfully applied to the node. Click Yes.

If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

Note Changes to most node defaults reprovision the node when you click Apply. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are already installed or slots that are preprovisioned for cards, but rather, change only cards that are installed or preprovisioned thereafter. To change settings for installed cards or preprovisioned slots, see Chapter21, “Change DWDM Card Settings” To change settings for transponder or muxponder cards see Chapter11, “Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards”

Note Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for the default to take effect. Before you change a default, view the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of importing the new defaults file.

Step 6 Click Apply.

Step 7 If the imported file fails to pass all edits, the problem field shows the first encountered problem default value that must be fixed. Change the problem default value and click Apply. Repeat until the imported file passes all edits successfully.

Step 8 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that defaults were successfully applied to the node. Click Yes.

Step 9 If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

Note Changes to most node defaults reprovision the node when you click Apply. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are already installed or slots that are preprovisioned for cards, but rather, change only cards that are installed or preprovisioned thereafter. To change settings for installed cards or preprovisioned slots, seeChapter21, “Change DWDM Card Settings” To change settings for transponder or muxponder cards, see Chapter11, “Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards”

Note Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for the default to take effect. Before you change a default, view the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-G137 Export Network Element Defaults

Note The defaults currently displayed are exported whether or not they have been applied to the current node.

Note The NE defaults can also be exported from the File > Export menu. These exported defaults are for reference only and cannot be imported.

Note For a list of NE defaults, refer to the “Network Element Defaults” document.

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task at the node where you want to export NE defaults.

Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Defaults editor tabs.

Step 3 Click Export.

Step 4 If the location where you want to export the file does not appear in the Export Defaults to File dialog box, click Browse and browse to the location.

NTP-G119 Power Down the Node

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206

Caution The following procedure is designed to minimize traffic outages when powering down nodes, but traffic will be lost if you delete and recreate circuits that passed through a working node.

---

Note Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with the Cisco ONS 15454. Plug the wristband into the ESD jack located on the fan-tray assembly or on the lower right outside edge of the shelf on the NEBS 3 shelf assembly. To access the ESD plug on the NEBS 3 shelf assembly, open the front door of the Cisco ONS 15454. The front door is grounded to prevent electrical shock. For detailed instructions on how to wear the ESD wristband, see the Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding Guide for Cisco CPT and Cisco ONS Platforms.

Note The CTC views referenced in this procedure depend on the mode. For more information about CTC views, see CTC Operation, Information, and Shortcuts.

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 “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task 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 NTP-G130 Remove a DWDM Node and 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” section, the “G347 Delete Optical Channel Client Connections” section, or the “G112 Delete Overhead Circuits” section as needed.

Note When deleting circuits from a node, make sure that the node is not connected to any network.

Step 5 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Protection tabs and delete all protection groups:

a. Click the protection group that needs to be deleted and click Delete.
