6.3 Maintenance Commands
The following commands can be used for maintenance when an EPAP-related feature is on.
Refer to Commands User's Guide for complete descriptions of the commands, including parameters, valid parameter values, rules for using the commands, and output examples.
Table 6-3 Maintenance Commands
Command | Description |
---|---|
rept-stat-sys | Reports the status of system entities, including cards. The output includes the number of Service Module cards that are in service (IS-NR) and how many are in another state (IS-ANR, OOS-MT, OOS-MT-DSBLD). |
rept-stat-sccp | Reports operating status of services and subsystems, CPU usage, and Service Module card status. When the loc parameter is specified, the command displays detailed card traffic statistics, including cards that are denied SCCP service. See the section in this manual that describes the use of the rept-stat-sccp command.
|
rept-stat-mps | Displays the overall status of the EPAP application running on the MPS (multi-purpose server). Command output for the various reports of this command include overall MPS alarm status and card status, and status for a specific Service Module card when a feature is on. |
rept-stat-trbl | Includes a summary of any trouble notifications (UAMs) for local subsystems, cards, and linksets. The severity of each alarm is indicated in the output report. |
rept-stat-alm | Displays the alarm counts and totals for local subsystems and Service Module card/EPAP IP links. |
rept-stat-db | Displays the status information for the EAGLE databases. This includes the level information for each Service Module card, and for the active and standby EPAP RTDB. The command reports database exception status such as corrupted, incoherent, or inconsistent, as well as providing the birth dates and levels. It shows the status of each PDB and RTDB when an EPAP-related feature is enabled. |
rtrv-tbl capacity | Retrieves table use capacity summary information. For each table listed, the number of table entry elements in use and the total allowed number of table elements is presented, along with a percent (%) full value. Information is shown for some tables only if the feature that uses the table is enabled. |
inh-card/alw-card |
The The |
inh-alm/unhb-alm | Used to allow and inhibit reporting of alarms for a given device, including the Service Module card ports. The commands allow both Port A and Port B to be specified. Inhibited alarms will not generate UAMs or cause alarm indicators to be turned on. All rept-stat-xxx commands continue to display the alarms with an indication that the device has its alarms inhibited.
|
rtrv-data-rtdb |
Retrieves Entity data, DN data, IMEI data, IMSI data, TN data, NPANXX data, and LRN data from the RTDB on an active Service Module card. If the loc parameter is specified and the target card is an active Service Module card, the RTDB data is retrieved from that card. If the loc parameter is not specified, the RTDB data is retrieved on the active Service Module card that has the lowest IMT address. The RTDB status on the active Service Module card can be coherent or incoherent. |
6.3.1 rept-stat-sccp
The rept-stat-sccp
command displays the status of the Service Module cards and the statistics of the services running on the Service Module cards. The command also displays any cards that are denied SCCP service. An MSU is considered to be an A-Port MSU after service selection. Statistics are displayed under MNP Service Statistics for A-Port, G-Port, and IGM features. Statistics are displayed under SMSMR Service Statistics for MO SMS IS41-to-GSM Migration, MO-Based GSM SMS NP, MO-Based IS41SMS NP, and PPSMS features.

6.5.1 EPAP Status and Alarm Reporting
Because EPAP has no direct means of accepting user input or displaying output messages on EAGLE terminals, EPAP maintenance, measurements, and status information are routed through a Service Module card. EPAP sends two types of messages to the Service Module card: EPAP Maintenance Blocks and DSM Status Requests and DSM Status Messages. Each message type is discussed in the following sections.
EPAP Maintenance Blocks
The EPAP forwards all status and error messages to the Service Module cards in maintenance blocks. Maintenance blocks are asynchronously sent whenever the EPAP has something to report. The status information that is displayed when a rept-stat-mps
command is issued includes information that came from the maintenance blocks.
The active EPAP generates and sends maintenance blocks to the primary Service Module card. One maintenance block is sent as soon as the IP link is established between the active EPAP and the primary Service Module card. Additional maintenance blocks are sent whenever the EPAP needs to report any change in status or error conditions. The information returned in maintenance blocks is included in the output of the rept-stat-mps
and rept-stat-sccp
commands.
The EPAP sends maintenance blocks that contain at least the following information:
-
Status of EPAP A - actual states are active, standby, and down (inoperative). Maintenance blocks include a field for this information so that it can be available for the output of the
rept-stat-mps
command. -
Status of EPAP B - actual states are active, standby, and down (inoperative). Maintenance blocks include a field for this information so that it can be available for the output of the
rept-stat-mps
command. -
Identification of Active EPAP - a field to identify the active EPAP.
-
Congestion Indicator - an indicator showing provisioning link congestion. The link between the EPAPs and the external source of provisioning data can become congested in high-provisioning traffic situations. When this occurs and subsequently as the congestion clears, the EPAP sends maintenance blocks to the Service Module card.
-
Alarm Conditions - an error code field. If the EPAP needs to report an alarm condition, it puts an appropriate UAM identifier in this field.
-
Current MPS Database Size - a field indicating the current RTDB size. The Service Module card uses this information to calculate the percentage of memory used by the RTDB.
DSM Status Requests and DSM Status Messages
When the EPAP needs to know the status of a Service Module card, the EPAP sends a DSM Status Request to all Service Module cards, and each Service Module card returns its status to the EPAP.
Service Module cards send a DSM Status Message to the EPAP when any the following events occur in the Service Module card:
-
The Service Module card is booted.
-
The Service Module card receives a DSM Status Request message from the EPAP.
-
The Service Module card determines that it needs to download the entire RTDB; for example, the Service Module card determines that the RTDB needs to be downloaded because it is totally corrupted, or a user requests that the RTDB be reloaded. The Service Module card sends a Full Download Request message to the EPAP
-
The Service Module card starts receiving RTDB downloads or updates. When a Service Module card starts downloading the RTDB or accepting updates, the Service Module card sends a DSM Status Message informing the EPAP of the first record received. This helps the EPAP keep track of downloads in progress.
-
DSM Memory Size. When the Service Module card is initialized, it determines the amount of memory present. The EPAP uses the value to determine if the Service Module card has enough memory to hold the RTDB.
-
Load Mode Status. This indicator indicates whether or not a sufficient number of the IS-NR (In-Service Normal) LIMs have access to SCCP services.
