How to Search Out the Resource License Fast in a PO?

Q:
Both the resource license for the U2000 software and the NE licenses for hardware devices are contained in a purchase order (PO). The numerous NE licenses in the PO make it difficult to search out the resource license fast.
Alarm Information
None
Handling Process
    A:
In the advanced search window of the FNO system, you can enter multiple search criteria, such as the PO, product name, product version and site information. In this manner, the required license can be located accurately.
Note:
NE licenses are licenses for network hardware devices. Currently, hardware devices can control functions by using NE licenses without executing license policies. Therefore, hardware devices need not use 
license files. The resource license is a license for the U2000 software used to manage specific NE or port resources on the U2000. Usually, the devices at a site share a PO. If capacity expansion is performed at the site, the NE licenses and the resource license that is used to manage those devices will be combined in one PO. As a result, a PO in the FNO system contains numerous NE licenses and one resource license for managing those devices.
Step 1  At the FNO website, click the button highlighted by the red oval as shown in Figure 1-1(check the attachment Figure 1-1 Manage entitlements).
Step 2  In the dialog box that is displayed, enter multiple search criteria as shown in Figure 1-2(check the attachment Figure 1-2 advanced search).
Root Cause
None
Suggestions
None

How to Locate fault during Huawei OptiX OSN2500?

Handling of Abnormalities of Fiber, Cable, and Connector

This section describes how to handle a fiber failure, cable failure, and a connector failure based
on the common causes of the fiber failure, cable failure, and connector failure.

Common Causes

  1. Cables are broken or wrongly spliced.
  2. Attenuation of cable and flange is very high.
  3. The cable connector is loose.
  4. Power cables are wrongly connected.
  5. The interface board is wrongly connected.

Procedure
    Step 1 On the U2000, check whether alarms, such as R_LOS, R_LOF, T_ALOS, P_LOS or
      IN_PWR_ABN, are triggered when the fiber, cable, or connector is abnormal. When these
        alarms exist, refer to Huawei OptiX OSN 2500 Intelligent Optical Transmission System Alarms
          Reference to handle these alarms.
            Step 2 Check whether optical fibers and power cables are broken.
              Step 3 Check whether optical fibers are wrongly spliced.
                Step 4 Check whether connectors are loose.
                  Step 5 Check whether the bending radius of the optical fiber is not less than 60 mm.

                  Checking Configuration Data

                  During the fault location and rectification, the configuration data should be checked.
                  Check whether the data is correctly configured. Especially, check the configuration data when
                  the services are interrupted during the equipment installation, commissioning and upgrade.
                  The query items include data configuration of the network, NE and U2000.

                  Checking Misoperation
                  Human misoperation may result in service interruption.

                  Misoperation
                  Human misoperation refers to the following operations on the available services.
                  Configure hardware or software loopback.
                  Configure services as unloaded.

                  Procedure
                  Step 1 Check whether the loopback is configured on the tributary or line. If the loopback is configured,
                  the LOOP_ALM alarm, indicating the loopback, can be queried on the U2000. In this case,
                  release the software or hardware loopback on the U2000 or equipment.
                  Step 2 Check whether "service unloaded" is configured on the U2000. If "service unloaded" is
                  configured, the alarm indicating that the path is unloaded, such as LP_UNEQ, can be queried
                  on the U2000. In this case, modify "service unloaded" to "service loaded".

                  Checking Consistency of Board Models
                  After the replacement, models of the new board and original board should be consistent.
                  Procedure
                  Step 1 Check whether the model of the replaced or added board during the upgrade or expansion is
                  consistent with that of the original board. Especially, in the case of the cross-connect and timing
                  boards with the active and standby relation, the active and standby boards should of the same
                  model. If the board models are inconsistent, the WRG_BD_TYPE alarm, indicating that the
                  board type of the inserted board is incorrect, can be queried on the U2000.
                  Step 2 According to the actual situation, check whether the setting of the DIP switch and jumper is correct.

                  Handling Hardware Faults of Equipment
                  If the fault is a hardware fault, replace the faulty board with a new one.
                  Common alarms indicating hardware faults are listed as follows:
                  HARD_BAD
                  COMMUN_FAIL
                  HSC_UNAVAIL
                  BD_STATUS
                  BUS_ERR
                  CHIP_FAIL
                  PLL_FAIL
                  TR_LOC
                  T_LOSEX
                  For handling of the preceding alarms, refer to the Alarms and Performance Events Reference.
                  Locate the faulty station by analyzing the alarms, indicators or using the loopback. Then, replace
                  the faulty board to rectify the fault.

                  Ethernet configuration missing in NMS but normal when testing

                  Issue Description
                  Ethernet configuration missing in NMS, already configured at both site. However, when do testing end to end, no faulty alarm at test gear. The services still exist, if not, test gear will show faulty alarm. 
                  Alarm Information
                  No Alarm.
                  Handling Process
                  1, Current version U2000 V1R3C00SPC100 is upgrading to V1R5C00SPC600 as recommended by R&D.
                  2, After NMS restart, all Ethernet configurations appear normally.
                  Root Cause
                  1, Configuration not seen at NMS, but when test it normal, mean at NE side services were normal.
                  2, Services only cannot see at NMS side, mean problem probably related to NMS.
                  3, NE can login and communicate normally, means NMS and NE can communicate normally.

                  4, Collect data and send to R&D.
                  5, Feedback from R&D, probably the current NMS version have some bug which cannot support some features of NE or the version of NE and NMS may not compatible. R&D recommended version V1R5C00SPC600 to upgrade.

                  Suggestions
                  1, for new version of NE, always uses the latest NMS version to avoid some operations and monitoring failure.
                  2, V1R5C00SPC600 version is the latest recommended by R&D to use.

                  Huawei OSN2500 Configuration Data Analysis and Modification of Locating Faults

                  Huawei Optix OSN2500 Troubleshooting, Common Methods of Locating Faults: Configuration Data Analysis and Configuration Modification

                  Configuration Data Analysis
                  Analyzing the configuration data is a method used to determine and locate faults.
                  Overview
                  Sudden change in ambient conditions or improper operations may change or damage the
                  configuration data, for example, NE and board data of the equipment.
                  This can affect the service. In this case, after locating the fault at a single NE, further analyze
                  the configuration data to locate the fault.
                  Application
                  Locate the fault by querying and analyzing the current configuration data of the equipment.
                  The configuration data includes the following items:
                  Node parameters of the multiplex section
                  Path loopback setting for the line and tributary boards
                  Tributary path protection attributes
                  Path trace byte
                  For example, if the SNCP protection of a certain tributary board does not work, query whether
                  the path attribute of the tributary board is set to "protection".
                  You can view the operation log on the NM to check whether any improper operation on the NM
                  is performed.
                  Summary
                  This method is applicable to further analysis of a known faulty NE and helps to find the root
                  cause of a fault. This method, however, takes a long time and requires expertise in the field of
                  optical transmission and essential product knowledge.
                  Configuration Modification
                  Configuration modification is a method used to determine and locate faults.
                  Overview
                  Use this method to modify the timeslot configuration, slot configuration, and board parameter
                  configuration. This method also removes problems caused by configuration errors in a known
                  faulty NE.
                  In addition, this method is used to troubleshoot pointer justifications.
                  Application
                  If some path of a tributary board or some tributary board is suspected to be faulty, modify the
                  timeslot configuration to shift the payload to other path or tributary board.
                  If a certain slot is suspected to be faulty, change the slot configuration.
                  If a VC-4 is suspected to be faulty, shift the traffic to another VC-4.
                  During the upgrade or expansion, if you are unsure about the new configuration, you can re-load
                  the original configuration for confirmation.
                  Modifying the timeslot configuration, however, does not help to locate the faulty point or faulty
                  board, for example, a line board, tributary board, cross-connect board or backplane.
                  In this case, use the replacement method or the loopback method to further locate the fault. This
                  method is applicable in the preliminary process of locating faults when spare boards are not
                  available. Other service channels or slots are used to resume the service temporarily.
                  To modify the configuration in case of pointer justification, modify the tracing direction and the
                  reference source of the clock.
                  Summary
                  This method is used to resume the service temporarily when no spare board is available for the
                  replacement, or is used in handling the problem of pointer justification. The maintenance
                  personnel may not find this method convenient.
                  In addition, save the original configuration before you use this method. Record the steps used
                  to locate the fault.

                  Guiding you how to upgrade Huawei OptiX NG-SDH Hot Patch

                  Checking Board Information

                  When engineers need upgrade Hot Patch of Huawei OptiX NG-SDH, such as Huawei OSN3500, Huawei OSN1500, they must check all boards information.


                  Description
                  Check whether all board versions match each other and determine whether to upgrade the NE according to the board types and release documents.
                  Precautions
                  Ensure that you have obtained the version mapping table and patch notes.
                  Procedure
                                                 Step 1     Choose Administration > NE Software Management > NE Data Backup/Restoration on the main menu.
                  The Transport/PTN NE View tab page is displayed.
                                                 Step 2     Click to display the Board Information tab page and then click Query.
                  Information about all boards will be displayed.

                                                 Step 3     Check the board versions against the version mapping table. If any version discrepancy occurs, upgrade or downgrade the board to the mapping version.                          
                       Step              4    Query the board manufacturing information on the NMS or by running the :cfg-get-bddetailinfo:bid command. BD-Name indicates the board type.
                                                 Step 5    Check whether a board needs to be upgraded according to the version mapping table and patch notes.
                  If an NE supports board-level hot patch upgrades, the query result helps determine which boards require board-level hot patches before an upgrade and check whether a board-level hot patch takes effect after an upgrade.
                  Follow-up Procedure
                  Upgrade the board whose version is different from that specified in the version mapping table.

                  Checking Whether Any Boards Are Offline or in BIOS State

                  Perform this task to check whether any boards are offline or in BIOS state. If any board, especially the standby HUAWEI SCC board, is offline or in BIOS state, a hot patch upgrade for the NE will fail.

                  Checking Whether Sufficient Space Is Available on Boards Perform

                  mapping tablecheck whether sufficient space is available on boards. If the boards do not have sufficient space, the upgrade will fail.
