Use either of the following two methods to install the OMU software:
Install the OMU software through the network if you are not on site.
Install the OMU software through the CD driver of the GBAM if you are on
site.

Network Installation
Copying version software to GBAM
Visit the http://support.huawei.com to obtain the OMU installation file and
save the file to the PC that is to be connected with the GBAM.
Double-click the Internet Explorer icon and type the IP address (for
example, \\10.161.72.254) of the GBAM to connect the GBAM.
Double-click the BSC6000 folder.

Copying version software to
GBAM
Type the user name and
password to open the
BSC6000 folder.
Copy the OMU installation file
(for example, OMU-9.1-
1.i586.rpm) saved on the PC to
the directory \BSC6000\install\
of the GBAM.

Enable the PuTTY software (terminal login software) on the PC.
In the Host Name (or IP address) text box, type the IP address (for
example, \\10.161.72.254) of the GBAM and then click Open. A remote login
window is displayed. Log in to the GBAM as a root user.

CD installation
Put the OMU installation CD into the CD driver of the GBAM.
Log in to the GBAM as a root user.
Run the cd /media/cdrom command in the interface of the
operating system Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 to replace the current
directory with \media\cdrom.
Difference between network installation and CD installation
For the installation on the GBAM server, the current directory of network
installation is /BSC6000/install/; and the current directory of CD
installation is /media/cdrom.
In this document, the /BSC6000/install is the current directory. If you need
to install CDs on the site, run the cd /media/cdrom command to replace
the current directory into /media/cdrom.
The subsequent installations of network are the same as that of CD.

Step1: Run the cd /BSC6000/install/ command (CD installation command:

cd /media/cdrom) to modify the current directory.

Step2: Run the rpm -ivh omu-9.1-1.i586.rpm command to install the OMU
software

Step3: The installation is complete. A prompt is displayed, as shown in the
following figure.

Step4: Run the omuctrl cfg command to perform network
configurations.

Step5: Type the external IP address (for example, \\10.161.72.254)

Step6Type the netmask of the external IP address (for example,
\\255.255.255.0)

Step7: Type the default gateway of the external IP address (for example,
\\10.161.72.1)

Step8Check if the displayed IP address, IP netmask, and IP gateway are
correct.
If all the parameters are correct, type yes. Then the external settings
are active.
If the parameters are not correct, type no. Then modify the faulty
parameter into a correct one.

Step9: Type yes to start the OMU software

Step10: If the prompt OK, success in starting omu processes! is displayed,
the OMU software is successfully started.

Downloading the BSS Board Software
Pay attention to the following points when using the FTP tool:
After the BSC6000 LMT is started, check the icon on the lower right side of
the system to confirm if the FTP Server is started. If there is no such icon,
check if the files of the FTP tool are damaged.
If the FTP Server cannot be started, the possible cause is that the port 21 is
seized. Check if the port 21 is seized.
Do not manually stop the FTP Server during a file transfer; otherwise, the
download will fail.

Chapter 3 OMU Software Upgrade

Upgrade Precautions
Ensure that the upgraded BIOS matches with the new software.
The networking connection should match with the upgraded networking
configuration.
The upgraded subracks should perform DIP according to the new
configuration.
Check clock connection. Ensure the clock connection are matching with the
configuration of upgraded clock.
Check E1 cables. Ensure that the A interface E1 cables, the Abis interface E1
cables, and the Ater interface E1 cables are consistent with the upgraded data
configurations.

Upgrade Precautions
OMU should be accessed with only one M2000.
Do not start the OMU Core manually. If the OMU Core starts beyond the
limited time, the system may start the minimum configuration and may be
locked. As a result, you cannot configure manually. Only after the
bakcfgflag.txt file is deleted, you can perform operations on the system.
Before initializations of boards are complete, do not perform configuration for
boards; otherwise configuration data may be inconsistent with OMU after
boards start.

Unsuccessful Load of Host Software
If the LMT shows the unsuccessful load of the BSS board, check the
following items:
If a subrack cannot be loaded, check the DIP of the subrack.
If a board cannot be loaded, remove and insert the board.
Check the connection of network cable. If a remote subrack cannot be
loaded, check the connection of the Ater interface.
Check if the file under the /BSC6000/bscswm/area1/software directory on
the GBAM service is complete.
Check if the data of the board and that of the Ater interface is configured
correctly.
