6. When SW update is completed, and the ML device is running with new software, it is
recommended to check system integrity and service as follows:
Verify that no alarms exist (PROGFLT and/or HWFLT). See Troubleshooting
Alarmed Conditions (on page 15-6).
Check that all other configuration data (VLAN, Bridge, Ethernet) were successfully
preserved during SW upgrade.
Committing the New Software
Once you verified that the system is operating correctly you should commit the new software.
If you want to revert to previous SW release, perform Revert to Backup, see Reverting to
Backup Software (on page 14-18). Once the new software is committed, it is impossible to
revert back to the old software release. Committing the new software completes the SW
upgrade and provides SW backup on the ML device. Another SW upgrade cannot be
performed until the previous process is completed, either by committing the new software or
reverting to the previous one.
To commit the new software
1. In the Network Element tree, open System Administration.
2. Open SW Release and select ML SW Release. The ML SW Release pane opens in the
work area.
3. In the work area, click Commit SW.
NOTE: In case when CPE/RT NE is not provided with IP address (kept un-managed),
open the NEs Linked via HSL pane and click the Commit SW button to commit the
SW.
Reverting to Backup Software
This operation invokes the Backup SW available on ML. This operation is only allowed
before Commit SW operation is applied.
After Commit SW, the Backup software is the same as the currently running software.
NOTE: Any Configuration changes that occurred in the new (not committed) SW will be lost upon
Revert SW operation.
To revert to backup software
1. In the Network Element tree, open System Administration.
2. Open SW Release and select ML SW Release. The ML SW Release pane opens in the
work area.
3. In the work area, click Revert to Backup.
File Restore
The following types of files (one each) can be stored in memory storage on the ML devices:
