1.4 Impacts of the Upgrade

Impacts on Services
During software activation, the services are interrupted. The interruption time depends on the
upgrade scenario, as described in 1.4.

Issue 01 (2010-10-30)

V100R009C00SPC079
During the small-scale BTS upgrade (from BTS3000V100R008 to BTS3000V100R009), the service
interruption time depends on the number of upgraded BTSs and the types of configured boards in the
BTSs. The service interruption time of a BTS is related to the upgrade sequence of the BTS in the
upgrade task. For example, if 15 BTSs are upgraded and the BTS configuration is GTMU+DRFU,
the services of the 15 BTSs are interrupted for 9 to 20 minutes.
The service interruption time of the cascaded BTSs changes in a certain range.
When the alarm indicating that the GSM cells are out of service is cleared, the services are resumed.
In other words, the service interruption time ends when this alarm is cleared.
Impacts on Network Communications

During software activation, the communication between the BTS and the BSC is interrupted.
The interruption time depends on the upgrade scenario, as described in 1.4.

1.5 Precautions
1.
Determine whether the M2000 and the BSC6900 should also be upgraded according to
the version configuration information released with the BTS3000V100R009C00SPC079
Release Notes.doc.
2.
Services are interrupted during the upgrade. Therefore, the upgrade must be performed at
the time specified by the customer.
3.
The figures in this document are from iManagerM2000V200R009C00SPC250. This

document
takes
the
upgrade
from
BTS3000V100R008C11
to
BTS3000V100R009C00SPC011 as an example.
4.
The service interruption time and the communication interruption time mentioned earlier
are obtained on the assumption that the network performance is the best. Therefore, the
time is for reference only.
5.
Configurations on the BSC6900 LMT or the CME require BTS configuration rights.
Therefore, do not upgrade BTSs through the BSC6900 LMT or CME. Otherwise, the
one-click upgrade may fail.
6.
Before an upgrade from BTS3000V100R008 to BTS3000V100R009, data configurations

must be converted according to the configuration model. Therefore, you need to confirm
the configuration model of the upgraded BTS in advance. The configuration model refers
to the relations between the CPRI connection and the physical location of the RFU or
RRU. The configuration model may vary, depending on the type of BTS. If the required
configuration model is not used in the commercial network, see section 7.6"How to
Perform the Software Upgrade If the Required Configuration Model Is Not Used in the
Commercial Network?"
7.
The BTSs whose versions are different before an upgrade should be upgraded in batches.

If the version of the BTS software is BTS3000V100R008C11 before an upgrade, do not reset
the BTS after loading the BTS software and before activating the BTS software. If you reset
the BTS at that time, you must re-load the BTS software.
The elapsed time for loading the BTS software depends on the number of upgraded BTSs and
the types of configuration boards in the BTSs.
In the case of not more than 100 BTSs: Assume that the number of BTSs to be loaded is
100 and the BTS configuration is GTMU+DRFUs. In this case, the BTS software loading
in ordinary mode takes 45 minutes, either in small-scale or large-scale upgrade.
In the case of more than 100 BTSs: Assume that the number of BTSs to be loaded is 150
and the board configuration is GTMU+DRFUs. In this case, the BTS software loading in
ordinary mode is divided into two batches, either in small-scale or large-scale upgrade.
The first batch loading completes 100 BTSs and the second batch loading completes the
remaining 50 BTSs. The loading time is 90 minutes (45 minutes x 2 batches).
Step 1 Log in to M2000 client, and then choose Software > NE Upgrade Task Management > NE

quick load mode may lead to service interruption. In addition,
the software loading duration varies with the number of BTSs
and the types of configuration boards in the BTSs
In the case of less than 100 BTSs: Assume that the number of
BTSs to be loaded is 50 and the board configuration is
GTMU+DRFUs. In this case, the BTS software loading in
quick load mode takes 12 minutes, either in small-scale or
large-scale upgrade.
In the case of more than 100 BTSs: Assume that the number of
BTSs to be loaded is 150 and the board configuration is
GTMU+DRFUs. In this case, the BTS software loading in
quick mode is divided into two batches, either in small-scale
or large-scale upgrade. The first batch loading completes 100
BTSs and the second batch loading completes the remaining
50 BTSs. Thus, the required duration of software loading is 12
minutes x 2 batches = 24 minutes, regardless of whether it is

V100R009C00SPC079
perform the following operations:
Before collecting the information described in 7.3, you must back up BTS configuration data.
Step 1 If the pre-activation check or activation of configuration data fails, contact Huawei engineers.
See section 3.14"Performing the Pre-activation Check on the Configuration Data" to ensure
that the pre-activation check is successful.
Step 2 If the upgrade failure is caused by other reasons, collect the detailed information about the
software upgrade failure. In addition to the information listed in 7.3, you also need to collect
the detailed information about the upgrade failure by double-clicking the progress field to
open the Detail dialog box, which provides the detailed information about upgrade failure.
Before collecting the information described in 7.3, you must back up BTS configuration data.
Step 3 After the related information is collected, you can perform re-upgrade or rollback according
to the actual conditions.
Perform re-upgrade if the upgrade time permits.
Conditions of re-upgrade
The re-upgrade function can be used only when the BTS software activation fails.
Purpose of re-upgrade
If the software activation fails during the upgrade, the activation task needs to be
recreated. On the BSC6900 LMT, however, the BTS of activation failure may not be
displayed in the list. In this case, you can select Re-Upgrade to view all the BTSs
controlled by the BSC, and then select the BTS of activation failure for re-activation.
Re-upgrade solution
Re-upgrade can be performed only after a new task of Small-sized BTS upgrade
(without resetting the BSC) is created. If re-upgrade fails, contact Huawei technical
support engineers.
Perform rollback if the upgrade time does not permit.
Conditions of rollback
Perform re-upgrade unless customers require rollback.
Rollback solution
You are advised to perform small-sized BTS rollback. For details, see 3.

here.
Figure 1.14 Rollback scenario

Scenario
Description
Small-sized BTS rollback
If the small-sized BTS upgrade fails,

perform the small-sized BTS rollback.
If the large-sized BTS (not more than 15)

upgrade fails, you are advised to perform
small-sized BTS rollback.
If the large-sized BTS (more than 15)

upgrade fails, you are advised to perform
large-sized BTS rollback.
Large-sized BTS rollback
Re-rollback is performed only when rollback fails. The usage of re-rollback is similar
to the usage of re-upgrade.
For details on version rollback, see chapter 6"Version Rollback."
If the problem persists, contact the local Huawei office.
7.5 Why the BTSs of Different Versions Before

the Upgrade Cannot Be Upgraded in the Same
Batch? Why the BTSs of Different Target
Versions After the Upgrade Cannot Be Rolled
Back in the Same Batch?
Answer:
In the case of software upgrade, the BTS upgrade software package may be different
(according to section 3.2"Obtaining Reference Documents and the Target Software Package")
for the BTSs of different versions before the upgrade. For a software upgrade, however, all
the BTSs to be upgraded can only be loaded with the same upgrade software package.
Therefore, the BTSs of different versions before the upgrade cannot be upgraded in the same
batch.
You can load the BTS software in different batches based on the software packages and then activate the
BTS software together.
In the case of software rollback, the rollback process is different for BTSs of different target
versions. For example, the rollback process of the target BTS version
BTS3000V100R008C02 is different from that of the target BTS version
BTS3000V100R008C11. For details, see section 6.2"Rollback Process."

7.6 How to Perform the Software Upgrade If

the Required Configuration Model Is Not Used
in the Commercial Network?
Answer:
If the required configuration model (for Turkey) for software upgrade is not listed in the
current configuration model list (for general, for Czech Tmobile, and for Germany O2), you
need to perform the following steps:
Step 1 Contact Huawei technical support to prepare the general file for Turkey model according to
the actual network conditions. The name of the general file is SiteConvertDesc.xml. This file
can be saved in any directory on the M2000 file server.
In this document, the general file is saved in the root directory of the FTP file server installed on the
M2000.
Step 2 Log in to the M2000 client. Click

Step 3 On the left pane of the MML Command window, click BSC6900 GSM in NE Type. In the
navigation tree, select a BSC version, as shown in 1.1.
If the MML command configuration file of the current BSC version is not downloaded, a dialog box will
be displayed prompting you to download the file from the server. Click YES, and the Upgrade dialog
box is displayed. When the upgrade progress reaches 100%, the MML command configuration file is
completely downloaded. Click OK.

Because the loading and the activation of the software require the user to wait, thus you are advised to
select the All mode. The execution modes and their meanings are as follows:
All: You only need to click Go once.
Step by Step: You need to click Go before each MML command is executed.
Breakpoint: You can set break points for the execution to control the execution process.
Range: You can specify the numbers of MML commands to be executed.
