29.3 ES Board Actions – ES/6600
The following actions can be performed on an ES board and are available in the EMS
when you right-click the specific ES board in the Media Gateway status screen:

Lock – stops service on the ES board. The locked board cannot be used for
providing network connectivity to the chassis, therefore if both ES boards are
locked simultaneously, the Media Gateway boards loose IP connectivity and the
service provided by the Media Gateway is interrupted. The same scenario may
happen in the rare case of a 2
nd
ES board becoming unavailable (e.g., after a
board failure) and the 1
st
ES board being locked.

Unlock – restores service on the ES board. The ES board is restarted during the
unlock action and it may take up to 10 minutes before the service is restored
(and the Operational State of the ES board is updated accordingly).

Align All Boards To Me – forces all boards inside the chassis (Media Gateway
boards and SC boards) to use a specific ES board. When performed on the
Standby ES board, it causes the ES boards' activity switchover.

Clear Severity – clears Minor severity on the ES board that may be turned on
when the ES board behaves suspiciously (e.g., if for any reason, some of the
other boards in the chassis can not communicate with it.)
