Work Flow
The Add NF Upgrade Work Order, Work Flow page allows you to configure a work flow for your work order.
This page contains the following buttons and fields:
Reject New Call checkbox | Specify whether or not to reject new calls during the work order. |
Active Call Threshold field | This value is enabled only when Reject New Call is selected. Specify the threshold of active calls so that the software upgrade process can decide when to reboot the device. |
Health Score Threshold field | Specifies the health score threshold, in percentage, with
which to use to determine if the devices are in a stable condition.
Note: This field is for HA pairs only. |
Call shedding Timeout drop-down list | Specifies the time, in minutes, to allow for call shedding to reach the Active Call Threshold value. The minimum allowable value is 1 minute and the maximum is 60 minutes. |
Restore Original Redundancy State After Upgrade checkbox | Select to restore original redundancy state after upgrade.
Note: This field is only for HA pairs only. |
Pause and Unlock after Loading Software (and Boot) Image(s) checkbox | This affects Push software image to the device within the Steps dialog. When this field is selected, the Push software image to the device within the Steps dialog is automatically selected. When this field is un-selected, the Push software image to the device within the Steps dialog is automatically un-selected. |
Delete Old Software Image checkbox | When selected, the Oracle SDM Cloud removes the old software and/or boot loader image from the device upon a commit. |
Steps icon | When clicked, this button opens a dialog box containing a list of process flow steps to be carried out by the work order task. Beside each step is a pause checkbox. Select the pause checkbox for any step at which you want the Oracle SDM Cloud to pause during the work order process. |
- Enter values for the Work Flow parameters.
- Click Finish to complete creating the work order.
The following lists the steps the Oracle SDM Cloud takes during an NF upgrade work order:
Step 0: Check available space at the device | If there is available space at the device, the work order proceeds to the next step. |
Step 1: Verify the original software image exists on device | Checks that the original software image (the current image) exists on the device. |
Step 2: Push software image to the device | Uploads new software image to the device. |
Step 3: Do call shedding on original active device | Starts the call shedding. |
Step 4: Edit image name in boot parameters | Sets the new image name in the device boot parameters. |
Step 5: Reboot the device | Reboots the device. |
Note:
If any of the above steps fail, the work order fails.The following lists the steps the Oracle SDM Cloud takes during an SBC HA pair upgrade work order:
Step 0: Check available space for both devices | If there is available space on both devices, the work order proceeds to the next step. |
Step 1: Check status and health for both devices | Checks that the health scores on both devices are within bounds. |
Step 2: Verify the original software image exists on both devices | Checks the original software image (the current image) exists on both devices. |
Step 3: Push software image to both devices | Uploads new software image to both devices. |
Step 4: Do call shedding on original active device | Starts the call shedding on the active device. |
Step 5: Edit image name in boot parameters for the standby device | Sets the new image name in the standby device boot parameters. |
Step 6: Reboot the standby device | Reboots the standby device. |
Step 7: Check health of the standby device | Checks the healthscore of the standby device. |
Step 8: Force switchover active becomes standby | Changes both devices' redundancy roles.
|
Step 9: Do call shedding on original standby device | Starts the call shedding on the original standby device. |
Step 10: Edit image name in boot parameters for the new standby device | Sets the new image name in the new standby device's boot parameters. |
Step 11 Reboot the new standby device | Reboots the new standby device. |
Step 12: Check health of the new standby device | Checks the healthscore of the new standby device. |
