3 GPL Management Procedures
Chapter 3, GPL Management Procedures, describes the procedures used for managing the system data (GPLs) on the EAGLE.
3.1 Introduction
A GPL is the software that is loaded onto a card that allows the various features in the EAGLE to work. The EAGLE currently uses the following GPLs:
- ATMHC– The application GPL used for high-speed ANSI and E1 ATM signaling links that are assigned to E5-ATM-B cards.
- BLDC32–A flash GPL containing a tar image with all code required on E5-MCAP cards to support VxWorks6.9 32-bit application, as in OAMHC69, E5-ENET-B for running IPSHC69, and E5-MCPM-B for running MCPHC69.
- BLDC64–A flash GPL containing a tar image of 64-bit code required on E5-SM8GB cards for SCCP64, ENUM64, SIP64 and DEIR64 applications.
- BLMCAP–A flash GPL containing a tar image of 32-bit code for the following cards: E5-MCAP, E5-E1T1-B, E5-ENET-B, E5-ATM-B, E5-MCPMB, and SM8GB.
- BLSLC32– A flash GPL containing a tar image of 32-bit code required on SLIC cards for 32-bit applications.
- BLSLC64–A flash GPL containing a tar image of 64-bit code required on SLIC cards for 64-bit applications, as in SCCP64, ENUM64, SIP64, and DEIR64.
- BLSL932–A flash GPL containing a tar image with all code required on SLIC card for 32-bit application on VxWorks6.9, as in IPSHC69 and MCPHC69.
- DEIR64–The 64-bit application GPL used on the E5-SM8G-B and SLIC cards to support the S13/S13' EIR feature.
- ENUM64–The 64-bit application GPL used on the E5-SM8G-B and SLIC cards for the ENUM Mobile Number Portability and Tier One Address Resolution feature.
- ERTHC–The application GPL used on E5-ENET-B cards for the EAGLE 5 Integrated Monitoring Support feature.
- HIPR2 –The communication GPL used on the High-Speed IMT Packet Router (HIPR2) card.
- IPSG –The application GPL used for the IP Signaling Gateway M2PA and M3UA signaling links.
- IPSG32–The 32-bit application GPL used on SLIC cards that combines GTT and IPSG capabilities.
- IPSHC –The application GPL used on E5-ENET-B or SLIC cards for the IP User Interface and FTP Retrieve and Replace features.
- IPSHC69–Used by E5-ENET-B and SLIC cards to support the IPS application when running on VxWorks69.
- MCPHC– The application GPL used on the E5-MCPM-B (Measurement Collection & Polling Module) and SLIC cards for the Measurements Platform feature.
- MCPHC69– Used by E5-MCPM-B and SLIC cards for the Measurements Platform feature when running on VxWorks69.
- OAMHC–The application GPL used by the E5-MCAP card for enhanced OAM functions.
- OAMHC69–Used by E5-MCAP cards for enhanced OAM functions, when running on VxWorks 69
- SCCP64–The 64-bit application GPL used on E5-SM8G-B and SLIC cards to support EPAP-based features and the LNP ELAP Configuration feature. If no EPAP-based or LNP ELAP Configuration feature is turned on and an E5-SM8G-B card is present, then the GPL processes normal global title translation traffic.
- SFAPP–Used by SLIC cards to support Stateful Firewall Application.
- SIP64–The 64-bit application GPL used on the E5-SM8G-B and SLIC cards to support a SIP stack of TCP.
- SS7HC– The application GPL used by E5-E1T1-B and SLIC cards to support E1 and T1 signaling links.
Managing GPLs
Managing these GPLs consists of loading them onto the EAGLE from a removable media, downloading these GPLs to the appropriate cards in the EAGLE, then allowing the cards to run these GPLs. The GPLs can be in one of two states, trial and approved.
Note:
Refer to the Maintenance and Administration Subsystem section for more information about the control cards.The approved GPL is the GPL that has been approved for use and the EAGLE should be running, unless otherwise advised by Oracle technical support. The approved GPL version number matches the version number of the GPL contained in the system release ID table.
A trial GPL is usually a duplicate of the approved GPL; it can also be a GPL that has not been approved for use and does not match with the version number in the system release ID table. The trial GPL is a GPL that the EAGLE should normally not be running.
The system release ID table contains the version numbers
of the approved GPLs that the EAGLE should be running. The system release ID
table is contained on the E5-TDMs (Terminal Disk
Modules) and on the removable media containing the GPLs that are being loaded
onto the EAGLE. The GPLs are loaded onto the EAGLE from a removable media. To
get the GPLs from the removable media onto the EAGLE in the approved state, two
commands are used,
chg-gpl
and
act-gpl
.
CHG-GPL Command
The
chg-gpl
command copies a GPL from the
removable media to the E5-TDMs. The new GPL becomes the trial version on each
of the E5-TDMs. This command also copies the system release ID table from the
removable media to the E5-TDMs. The
chg-gpl
command uses these parameters.
gpl
– the GPL being
loaded onto the EAGLE
ver
– the version
number of the GPL
audit
– Specifies
whether the active
MASP system release
version is to be audited every 90 seconds.
src
– Specifies the
source drive containing the GPL that is being copied. This parameter has two
values.
remove
– the removable media flash drive on the E5-MCAP card.usb
– This parameter is to be used by Oracle personnel only and cannot be used with thechg-gpl
command.
If you are loading a GPL onto the EAGLE, the
gpl
and
ver
parameters must be specified with
the
chg-gpl
command and a removable media
containing the GPL being loaded must be in the removable media drive on the
E5-MCAP card of the active MASP.
The
audit
parameter is required only when
turning the GPL auditing on or off.
ACT-GPL Command
The
act-gpl
command changes the state of
the trial GPL from “trial” to “approved.” This is also referred to as
activating the GPL. The state of the previously approved GPL is changed from
“approved” to “trial.”
The version of the GPL shown in the
RELEASE
column of the
rtrv-gpl
output (the GPL version in
the system release ID table) is updated to the new approved version when this
command is performed.
The
act-gpl
command uses these parameters:
gpl
– the GPL being
loaded onto the EAGLE
ver
– the version
number of the GPL
Displaying GPL Information
Two commands can be used to display the GPL information
in the database,
rept-stat-gpl
and
rtrv-gpl
. The
rept-stat-gpl
command shows the
versions of the GPLs that are running on the cards in the EAGLE. The
rtrv-gpl
command shows the versions of
the GPLs contained on the fixed disks.
REPT-STAT-GPL Command
The
rept-stat-gpl
command output contains
these five columns and displays this information.
GPL
– The GPLs contained on the TDMs (Terminal Disk Modules). The TDMs contain the fixed disks.CARD
– The cards that are running the GPLsRUNNING
– The version number of the GPLs the cards are runningAPPROVED
– The version numbers of the approved GPLsTRIAL
– The version numbers of the trial GPLs
The following is an example of the
rept-stat-gpl
command output.

The example
rept-stat-gpl
output shows that the
card in slot 1103 is running the SS7HC GPL, version number 139-010-000, which
is also the approved version of the SS7HC GPL. The trial version number of the
SS7HC GPL is also 139-010-000.
You can display all the GPLs used by all the cards in the EAGLE except the flash (or communication) GPLs, a specific GPL, or all application and flash GPLs used by all the cards in the EAGLE. The flash GPLs are the BLMCAP, BLDC32, BLDC64, BLSLC32, BLSLC64, BLSLC932, and HIPR2 GPLs. The application GPLs are the other GPLs in the EAGLE.
If you specify the
rept-stat-gpl
command with no
parameters, all the GPLs on all the cards in the EAGLE are displayed except for
the communication GPLs, as shown in this example.

Loading a GPL onto the System
This section gives a general overview as to how a GPL is
loaded onto the EAGLE to be used by the applicable cards. The requirements and
steps for each GPL are different and are detailed in the procedures contained
in this chapter. The
rtrv-gpl
examples shown in this
section are examples that are shown when E5-based control cards are installed
in the EAGLE.

A removable media is inserted into the removable media drive on the E5-MCAP card of the active MASP. If a specific GPL is displayed with the
rtrv-gpl
command, for example the SS7HC GPL, the following would be displayed.eagle1 16-09-09 18:30:48 MST EAGLE 46.4.0.0.0-69.6.0 GPL Auditing ON GPL CARD RELEASE APPROVED TRIAL REMOVE TRIAL SS7HC 1114 139-006-000 139-006-000 139-004-000 ----------- SS7HC 1116 139-006-000 139-006-000 139-004-000 139-008-000 SS7HC 1115 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ; Command Executed

column of thertrv-gpl
output). In this example, the cards are running the trial version which does not match the version in the system release ID table. -
To load the card with the new version of the application GPL, the card must be inhibited with the
inh-card
command, then placed back into service with thealw-card
command. To load the approved version of the GPL onto the card, thecode=appr
parameter can be specified with thealw-card
command. It is not necessary to specify thecode=appr
parameter to load the approved version of the GPL. Entering thealw-card
command without the code parameter loads the approved version of the GPL onto the card.If you wish to load the trial version of the GPL onto the card, the
code=trial
parameter must be specified with thealw-card
command.To load the card with the new version of the flash GPL, the card must be inhibited with the
inh-card
command and flashed with theinit-flash
command. The new flash GPL on the card should be activated with theact-flash
command and then placed back into service with thealw-card
command.The following examples show the outputs of the
rtrv-gpl
andrept-stat-gpl
commands after the card has been reloaded. The outputs will vary depending on whether or not the new version of the GPL has been made the approved version with theact-gpl
command, and which version (trial or approved) of the GPL is loaded onto the card.Example 1

The card types shown in Table 3-1 are the values used for the type
parameter of the ent-card
command.
The cards running the SS7HC GPL are E5-E1T1-B cards. E5-E1T1-B cards are single-slot cards that can support up to 32 signaling links. These cards are either LIM-E1 or LIM-T1 cards. The rtrv-card
output shows these cards running either the SS7ANSI or CCS7ITU applications, but the rept-stat-card
and rept-stat-gpl
output shows that these cards are actually running the SS7HC GPL.
The cards running the SS7EPM GPL are E5-E1T1 cards which are single-slot cards that can support up to 32 signaling links. The E5-E1T1 cards are either LIM-E1 or LIM-T1 cards. The rtrv-card
output shows these cards running either the SS7ANSI or CCS7ITU applications, but the rept-stat-card
and rept-stat-gpl
output shows that these cards are actually running the SS7EPM GPL.
The cards running the IPLHC and IPGHC GPLs are E5-ENET, E5-ENET-B and SLIC cards supporting IP signaling links. The rtrv-card
output shows this card running either the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications, but the rept-stat-card
and rept-stat-gpl
output shows that these cards are actually running the IPLHC GPL. The IPGHC GPL allows the E5-ENET card to support SS7IPGW (ANSI IP Gateway) or IPGWI (ITU IP Gateway) signaling links. The rtrv-card
output shows this card running either the SS7IPGW or IPGWI applications, but the rept-stat-card
and rept-stat-gpl
output shows that these cards are actually running the IPGHC GPL.
The cards running the ATMHC GPL are cards that can contain the ATM high-speed signaling links on E5-ATM cards. The rtrv-card
output shows these cards running either the ATMANSI or ATMITU applications, but the rept-stat-card
and rept-stat-gpl
output shows that these cards are actually running the ATMHC GPL.
If the GPL is being updated to a new version, a removable media containing the GPL being updated is required.
If any card is not running the version of the GPL shown in the RELEASE
column of the rtrv-gpl
output, the indicator ALM
is displayed next to the GPL version in the RUNNING
column of the rept-stat-gpl
output, and next to the GPL version in the APPROVED
column in the rtrv-gpl
output.

3.6 Updating the HIPR2 GPL
This section presents the procedure for updating the HIPR2 generic program load (GPL). The HIPR2 GPL is used by the High-Speed IMT Packet Router 2 (HIPR2) card to control the IMT bus and resides on the fixed disk. The HIPR2 card resides only in slots 9 and 10 in each shelf in the EAGLE.
This section presents the procedure for loading the HIPR2 GPL onto the EAGLE as a trial version from a removable media, then making the trial version of the HIPR2 GPL the approved version.
If any card is not running the approved version of the GPL shown in the RELEASE
column of the rtrv-gpl
output, the indicator ALM
is displayed next to the GPL version in the RUNNING
column of the rept-stat-gpl
output, and next to the GPL version in the APPROVED
column in the rtrv-gpl
output.
The removable media that contains the HIPR2 GPL to be loaded on to the EAGLE is required.

3.7 Making the Trial Utility GPL the Approved Utility GPL
This procedure is used to make the trial UTILITY generic program load (GPL) the approved UTILITY GPL.
The UTILITY GPL cannot be loaded and run from the removable cartridge like the other GPLs. The approved version of the UTILITY GPL is on the fixed disk. The trial version of the UTILITY GPL is located on the removable cartridge or removable media. This procedure loads the trial UTILITY GPL from the removable cartridge to the fixed disk and makes it the approved UTILITY GPL.
The removable cartridge or removable media that contains the UTILITY GPL to be loaded on to the EAGLE is required.
When the UTILITY GPL is displayed with the rtrv-gpl
command, the entry CDU
appears in the GPL
column of the rtrv-gpl
output.

3.8 Reloading the TDM LCA Clock Bitfile
This procedure is used to reload the clock LCA (logic cell array) bitfile on the TDMs using the init-card
command. To reload the TDM clock LCA bitfile, the E5-MCAP card associated with the TDM being reloaded is initialized by entering the init-card
command with the initclk=yes
parameter.
It is recommended that the card specified in the init-card
command is the GPSM-II or E5-MCAP card in the standby MASP. The rept-stat-db
output in 7 shows which TDM is the standby TDM with the indicator ( STDBY)
after the TDM’s card location. If the TDM in card location 1114 is the standby TDM, card location 1113 must be specified. If the TDM in card location 1116 is the standby TDM, card location 1115 must be specified.
The TDM clock LCA bitfile can be reloaded only on TDMs with part numbers 870-0774-15 or later. If the EAGLE contains older TDMs, these TDMs must be replaced with TDMs 870-0774-15 or later to perform this procedure.
Note:
Contact My Oracle Support (MOS) before replacing the TDMs.The init-card
also contains the force=yes
parameter. The force=yes
parameter can be used only with the initclk=yes
parameter. The force=yes
parameter must be used if reloading the TDM clock LCA bitfile would cause a system clock outage.
Caution:
A system clock outage can be caused by either the EAGLE having only one TDM (a simplex MASP configuration) or if the status of the high-speed clocks, shown in therept-stat-clk
output in 1, on the TDM which is not being reset is Fault. A system clock outage will result in a loss of traffic on some or all signaling links.

3.11 Conversion of SM8G-B Cards
There are two types of cards that can operate in 32-bit or 64-bit mode: SM8G-B and SLIC cards. SM8G-B cards are equipped with 8G bytes of RAM. The operator must convert the cards to operate on 64-bit mode in order to enable access to memory ranges beyond the 4G byte, the memory range limit for 32-bit mode cards.
Because the GPL image contains either 32-bit or 64-bit mode code, the card must be flashed with the correct version before being able to run on the desired mode. Follow the steps in SM8G-B 32-bit to 64-bit Conversion or SM8G-B 64-bit to 32-bit Conversion in order to convert an SM8G-B card to operate from one mode to the other.
3.11.1 SM8G-B Bootloader Swap
An SM8G-B card running on a BLMCAP version from a release prior to EAGLE 46.3 may contain the 32-bit mode only bootloader. This bootloader must be updated before converting to 64-bit mode. The following procedure is used to update the 32-bit mode bootloader to 64-bit. Skip this procedure if the card is already running the BLDC64 GPL.
3.11.2 SM8G-B 32-bit to 64-bit Conversion
The following procedure is used to convert the 32-bit mode to 64-bit. The target card must already be running on the BLMCAP GPL and had its bootloader swapped, as completed in SM8G-B Bootloader Swap. Skip this procedure if the card is already running the BLDC64 GPL.
3.11.3 SM8G-B 64-bit to 32-bit Conversion
The following procedure is used to convert the 64-bit mode to 32-bit. The target card must already be running on the BLDC64 GPL and contain the correct bootloader, as completed in SM8G-B Bootloader Swap. Skip this procedure if the card is already running the BLMCAP GPL.
3.12 Conversion of SLIC Cards
SLIC cards are equipped with 16G bytes of RAM. They can run on either the 32-bit mode BLSLC32 flash GPL or on the 64-bit mode BLSLC64 flash GPL.
Follow the steps in SLIC 32-bit to 64-bit Conversion or SLIC 64-bit to 32-bit Conversion in order to convert a SLIC card to operate from one mode to the other.
