Chapter 15 Maintain the Node
NTP-A109 Restore the Database
the database will follow the node characteristics (that is, become secured). A secured database cannot
be loaded onto a TCC2; the restore is disallowed because the TCC2 card cannot boot in secure mode.
For more information about the dual IP secured mode, refer to the “NTP-A169 Set Up CTC Network
Access” procedure on page 4-7.
Caution To avoid a node IP and secure IP ending up in the same domain after restoring a database, ensure that
the node IP stored in the database differs in domain from that of the node in repeater mode. Also, after
restoring a database, ensure that the node IP and secure IP differ in domain.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored: node name, IP address, subnet mask and
gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database with a
different node name, the circuits map to the new renamed node. Cisco recommends keeping a record of
the old and new node names.
Note ML-Series Ethernet cards must be reset after a database restore. For more information about restoring
these cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454,
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.
Note If you want to revert to a previously used software load, consult the platform-specific upgrade
documentation for instructions.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node where you are restoring the
database. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Ensure that no ring or span (four-fiber only) switch events are present; for example, ring-switch east or
west, and span-switch east or west. In network view, click the Conditions tab and click Retrieve to view
a list of conditions.
Step 3 If switch events need to be cleared, in node view click the Maintenance > BLSR tabs and view the
West Switch and East Switch columns.
a. If a switch event (not caused by a line failure) is present, choose CLEAR from the drop-down list
and click Apply.
b. If a switch event caused by the Wait to Restore (WTR) condition is present, choose CLEAR from
the drop-down list and click Apply.
When a switch event is cleared, NO COMMAND appears in the column to indicate that the switch event
is no longer in effect.
Step 4 In node view, click the Maintenance > Database tabs. Figure 15-2 shows this tab for the TCC2 card.
(The TCC2P tab is similar.)
