How to Setting License on Huawei NMS?

This chapter describes how to perform license setting on the NMS. For example: The smart line card/The TP-Assist function/The OptiX OSN 8800 T32 standard Subrack Speedup.

Prerequisite

• You must be an NM user with "NM operator" authority or higher.
• The license file has been installed.
• The NE has been created on the NMS.

2000Batch Configuration

1. Visit the following navigation path.
   

1. Select the desired license.
   
2. On the NE license Authorization window, select the desired NE and set the license.
   
   
   NOTE:

   1. To set the license to support TP-Assist, on the right side of the window, change the NE license status from off to on and click Apply on the lower right corner of the window.
   2. To set the license to support a smart line card, in the column of OptiX OTN Platform,Hybrid Service Line Card SDH Encapsulation Ability fee or OptiX OTN Platform,Hybrid Service Line Card Packet Encapsulation Ability fee, enter the number of virtual ports, and click Apply.
   3. To set the license to support OptiX OSN 8800T32 standard Subrack Speedup, in the column of OptiX OSN 8800T32 standard Subrack Speedup enter the number of borads, and click Apply

Single NE Configuration

You can also navigate to the NE Explorer to set the license for a single NE.

1. IN the NE Explorer, set the license.
   
   
    NOTE:

   1. To set the license to support TP-Assist, on the right side of the window, change the NE license status from off to on and click Apply on the lower right corner of the window.
   2. To set the license to support a smart line card, in the column of OptiX OTN Platform,Hybrid Service Line Card SDH Encapsulation Ability fee or OptiX OTN Platform,Hybrid Service Line Card Packet Encapsulation Ability fee, enter the number of virtual ports, and click Apply.

Universal Switch Architecture for Multiservice Grooming

Huawei OptiX OSN equipment uses a universal switch architecture for unified grooming of packet services and TDM services. OptiX OSN equipment can work in packet mode, TDM mode, or dual-domain (packet+TDM) mode.

The three modes can be smoothly switched by upgrading the software of a service board so carriers' requirements on services and networks can be met. The smooth switching between the three modes supports carriers' distributed smooth investment based on the development of the technology and industrial chain.

Based on a universal switch architecture, OptiX OSN equipment OSN 3500 uses the packet transmission technology to perform efficient statistical multiplexing on data services so the transmission cost of every bit is reduced. In addition, OptiX OSN equipment uses the Native technology to transmit TDM services so voice services are transmitted with high quality.

Figure 1 OptiX OSN equipment architecture 

Based on a universal switch architecture, OptiX OSN equipment unifiedly transmits packet services such as 2G, 3G, and VIP private line services so network overlapping is avoided. In addition, OptiX OSN equipment transmits TDM services. Carriers can constitute an end-to-end packet network, dual-domain (packet+SDH) network, or STM-64 board and Hybrid (MSTP+routers) network that bears L2+L3 services. This complete packet transmission solution allows an evolution from TDM networks to all-IP networks

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.
