BTS Other - 4.x |
Running Solaris 10 |
Problem Description
SUN has issued a notice to end of life the Fast Ethernet card (SUN part number X1034A) and to replace it with the Gigabit Ethernet Card (SUN part number (X4445A). For BTS10200 systems running Solaris 8, refer to Field Notice 62441.
Background
This change will affect BTS system platforms in the following scenarios:
When a new BTS system is purchased, customers must purchase a Gigabit Ethernet card instead of a Fast Ethernet card.
When an existing BTS system has a defect with a Fast Ethernet card, customers can choose either to replace it with an equivalent Fast Ethernet card or the new Gigabit Ethernet card. Sun will support the existing Fast Ethernet hardware until February 2009.
If the customer chooses to replace the Fast Ethernet card with the Gigabit Ethernet card, the procedure noted in this field notice will guide them through the required steps. Customers replacing a Fast Ethernet with an equivalent Fast Ethernet card can follow existing practices.
The procedure noted in this field notice supports a call agent configured with the EMS signaling links on the CE ports (no add-on quad cards) and the call agent with signaling on the CE ports and the maintenance residing on the add-on quad cards. If your system does not meet these criteria, please contact your Account and/or Advanced Services Representative.
The Fast Ethernet card and Gigabit card can co-exist in the same BTS system.
Workaround/Solution
For new systems, the new version of Solaris jumpstart image (10!0!0503!V02) needs to be used.
For systems operating on Netra 440 platforms, the gigaswift Ethernet card is not currently supported. The Netra 440 platform is still being tested. This Field Notice will be updated when testing is complete.
For existing systems with BTS 9/5 configuration, the system needs to migrate to 4/2 configuration first.
For existing 1280 systems, the following procedure must be observed.
Purpose
This document describes the needed steps to swap a Sun quad fast Ethernet (qfe) with quad gigaswift Ethernet (ce) on Sun Netra 1280 running on Solaris 10.
Cisco is recommending performing this procedure during the maintenance window when traffic is low.
Before you start:
a. Identify the quad fast Ethernet on both primary and secondary CA/FS systems.
b. Console access.
Procedure
I. Swap out quad Fast Ethernet card on Secondary CA/FS platforms
