DO,s & DONTs Regular Disk Cleaning : With the introduction of new strategy for CDR files(ncbr & tgbr) dumping in IOP & putting all SUBs on Local Blg as required for CDR based billing system in BSNL network, disk space will be consumed faster as compared to earlier releases. So regular disk cleaning becomes a must activity in all the C-DOT exchanges having S/W 2219 .For this following should be done :
DO,s & DONTs Every fortnight ( 1 st & 16 th of each month ) following File Groups should be deleted a) <del-fgp-file : , bc { From date-> To date}; --- After taking back-up
b) <del-fgp-file :, tg { From date -> To date}; --- After taking back-up * Note: Keep maximum 2 months BC & TG data in the IOP disk.
DO,s & DONTs c) <del-fgp-file : , tf { From date -> To date}; --- Take backup if required * Note: Keep maximum 15 days TF data in the IOP disk. d) <del-fgp-file : , ioh; --- No backup required e) Run utility cre-space after verifying DISPL-OOD-LOG if required,as this will null all the files of oodlogDD in $TOOLP directory.
DO,s & DONTs ED & BD Backups : Take daily backups of ED & BD as per normal maintenace activity. Also preserve one weekly backup for ED .
DO,s & DONTs Keep Watch on Error messages on IOP Console : Do not overlook any abnormal error messages coming on IOP console terminal whether coming of its own or during any data creation/modification. At such times ,it is better to bring SBY IOP to warm-start & keep all the previous days ED backups safe. Do not take back-up on previous days backup cartridges until some action has been taken to clear the error messages. Always contact C-DOT Control room for this. DO,s & DONTs Re-setting the IOP : Never press reset switch of IOP,before bringing it to Cold-start level. In case Console Terminal is not accepting any command , shift cable to ASIO-2 / ASIO-4 port .Login into admn & give <init-iop:2,1; & <init-iop:1,1; from this terminal.IOP will start going to cold- start but no messages will be shown.
DO,s & DONTs Shift the cable to Console & if console- login appears, login into root account .Give <# init 2 to bring IOP to warm- start. In case console-login does not appear,then hard reset will be required.Wait for 10 minutes & then press abort switch first & then reset switch.Boot IOP by bo command to bring it to warm-start level.
DO,s & DONTs Aborting of data creation / modification command: Do not abort any data creation / modification command by ctrl & \ . This will corrupt many ED files involved in the process .Always wait for the command to get timed out . DO,s & DONTs In case of False alarms on ADP regarding Subs lines /Trks, run Audit Set: 12 on AM once a week If Alarms do not appear on ADP regularly, recreate process aood
DO,s & DONTs Put fmt-blg-cntr command in calender,but make sure that format time has a difference of minimum 15 minutes from the cntr dump time otherwise frmt file will not have correct data.Displ-Xchg-mtr may show ve values.
DO,s & DONTs IOP sync precautions Do not reverse sync the IOPs ,which may lead to loss of crucial backups like POIs TGBR Take appropriate action if IOP sync gets aborted in any step
