Chapter 1 Classification of Emergent Faults

Chapter 1 Classification of Emergent Faults


Emergency maintenance is a series of emergency measures used to minimize the
loss, remove the fault, and recover the system or equipment when emergent faults
happen.

1.1 Definitions of Emergent Faults


1.1.1 Equipment Fault
An equipment fault is a severe fault which causes the loss of most of or all the
functions of the equipment.

I. Breakdown of Cabinet or Frame


Any of the following situations might result in the breakdown of a frame, cabinet, or
even the whole system.
z

The power-off of the basic cabinet (cabinet 0) or master service frame (frame 0 of
the basic cabinet) leads to the breakdown of the whole system.

The simultaneous breakdown of the active and standby HSYS boards of the
master service frame leads to the breakdown of the whole system.

The simultaneous breakdown of the active and standby HSYS boards of the
slave service frame leads to the breakdown of the service frame.

Note:
In the default delivery configuration, the basic cabinet refers to cabinet 0, the master
service frame refers to frame 0 of the basic cabinet, and the slave service frame refers
to all the service frames excluding the master service frame.

II. BAM Breakdown


BAM breakdown is a severe fault with the loss of all BAM functions. In the actual
applications, any of the following situations is regarded as a kind of BAM breakdown:
z

Power failure of the BAM.

Unable to start the BAM.

Automatic and frequent resetting of the BAM.

The CPU utilization of the BAM keeps near 100% for a long time.

The Windows operating system of the BAM breaks down during the operation or
it is unable to boot when the BAM starts.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
1-1

Maintenance Manual Emergency Maintenance


U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway
z

Chapter 1 Classification of Emergent Faults

Abnormal running of the BAM Manager". For example, unable to start the BAM
Manager, unable to start all the service processes (their statuses are "Stopped"),
or all the service processes enter the Exception state after being started
repeatedly.

III. Restart of Equipment


When one of the following situations occurs, you need to restart the equipment:
z

You need to load a batch of data to the equipment.

You need to power on the equipment again after powering it off for other
reasons.

You find that the data in the host and the BAM are not consistent, and cannot
recover the data through the commands.

IV. Accidental Power Failure to Board


When a board is working normally, it may be powered off if you press the red locker on
the ejector lever accidentally. When one of the following situations occurs, the board
is powered off:
If the blue hot-swap indicator on the front panel of the board is on or all the indicators
on the front panel of the board are off, the board is powered off.
Open the system navigator window on the left of the maintenance console. Select
[System Setting/Board Position Management]. If the indicator of the board is red, the
board is powered off or faulty. For details about whether a board is faulty, refer to
U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway Maintenance Manual Parts Replacement
Guide.
After a board is accidentally powered off, power it on again by pulling out and inserting
it again. For details, refer to section 3.2 Pulling Out and Inserting Board in this
manual.

1.1.2 Extremely Heavy Traffic Fault


Extremely heavy traffic may cause congestion to links, SLPU, SBPU, or HSYS, which
results in mass congestion to all links or boards. The following situations lead to
extremely heavy traffic faults:
z

The CPU utilization rises sharply, often to above 50%.

Corresponding loading alarms of links are generated. Sometimes, a large


number of TransFer-Forbidden signal (TFP) and TransFer-Allowed signal (TFA)
messages frequently appear on links, causing the frequent switchover of the
links.

Chapter 1 Classification of Emergent Faults

1.2 Basic Principles of Emergency Maintenance


The emergent faults are dangerous and can cause call congestion and equipment
breakdown. In order to increase the efficiency of handling the emergent faults and
minimize the loss, be sure to know the following basic principles before maintaining
the equipment:
z

The core of emergency maintenance is to recover the system operations and


service provisioning as soon as possible. To promote the efficiency of handling
the emergent faults, you need to set up handling schemes for various emergent
faults according to the emergency maintenance manuals and practice
periodically.

You must attend the emergency maintenance training which is mandatory for
maintenance personnel. You must learn the basic methods of judging emergent
faults and learn how to handle emergent faults.

When there is an emergent fault, check whether the equipment and the bearer
network are working normally. Then you need to judge whether the emergent
fault is caused by the equipment. If yes, you can handle the fault according to the
pre-prepared schemes or the procedures in this manual.

When emergent faults happen to the BAM, you are forbidden to reinstall the
system or format the hard disk on the BAM before consulting Huawei for
technical support to avoid the loss of some important data.

In order to get quick technical support when handling an emergent fault, you
need to contact the customer service center (see page 2 of the cover of this
manual) or the regional office of Huawei.

After handling an emergent fault, you need to collect the alarm information
related to this fault and send the fault handling report, equipment alarm files and
log files to Huawei for analysis. By doing this, you can help Huawei improve the
after-sales services.

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

I. Collecting Fault Information


When emergent faults happen, you need to collect as much information as possible
from fault complaints, alarms from the network management system (NMS), and by
checking the equipment and making dial tests. This will provide a basis for the
subsequent processing.

II. Checking Hardware Equipment


Hardware defaults often cause service congestion. For example, a frame breakdown
will lead to service congestion. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of fault handling,
you must check if the hardware equipment is running normally before taking any
measures to solve an emergent fault. Common methods of checking the hardware
equipment are as follows:
z

Check if the power supply to the equipment is normal. That is, check if the power
supply to the cabinet, components within the cabinet, and frames is normal.

Check if the components, including the LAN Switch and BAM, in the basic
cabinet run normally.

Check if the frames run normally. In the system navigation window of the client,
select System Settings -> Board Position Management. Observe the running
statuses of the boards (front boards, back boards, and subboards), power frame,
and fans.

III. Checking Bearer Network


If the service congestion occurs when the hardware equipment runs normally, first
check if the bearer network runs normally. Common methods of checking the bearer
network are as follows:
z

Check if there is any transmission fault alarm for the alarm management system.

Use the ping command to check if the connection between related devices is
normal.

Suppose the IP address of the opposite equipment is 10.10.10.2. Enter command in


the Run dialog box. After the Command window is displayed, enter ping 10.10.10.2.
If the returned message shows that the packet loss ratio is 0%, the communication
with the opposite equipment is normal.
z

If necessary, use the tracert command to locate the IP address of the faulty
router in the bearer network.

Suppose the IP address of the opposite equipment is 10.10.10.2. Enter command in


the Run dialog box. After the Command window is displayed, enter tracert
10.10.10.2. The returned information will show the route to the opposite equipment
and the IP addresses of the routers on the path.
z

Contact the responsible person in the data department. Use specialized


instruments or software to test the parameters of the bearer network such as the

Huawei Technologies Proprietary


2-2

Maintenance Manual Emergency Maintenance


U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

transmission delay, the bit error rate, the packet loss ratio and the jitter. Check
whether network congestion, network storm or virus attacking exists in the
bearer network.

IV. Handling Equipment Fault


If you have confirmed that the hardware of the equipment are down; that is, it is an
equipment fault, handle the fault immediately according to the pre-prepared scheme
or section 2.2 Handling Equipment Fault.

V. Handling Extremely Heavy Traffic Fault


If service congestion occurs and you have confirmed that it is not a hardware fault,
check if it is an extremely heavy traffic fault. If yes, handle the fault according to the
pre-prepared scheme or the flow described in section 2.3 Handling Extremely Heavy
Traffic Fault.

VI. Handling Bearer Network Fault


If you have confirmed that the service congestion is caused by the bearer network
fault, contact the responsible person in the data department immediately to handle the
bearer network fault.

VII. Judging Whether Fault Is Removed


After handling the fault, you must check if the fault has been removed through the
NMS and maintenance console as well as by such means as telephone dialing test
and service verification. By doing these, you can judge whether the functions or
services of the equipment recover to normal.

VIII. Collecting Fault Information


Collecting fault information is important for requesting technical support, analyzing
and locating the source of the fault, and preventing re-occurrence of similar faults. It
can provide valuable experience for you and good reference for the manufacturer.
Therefore, you need to collect the fault information in time no matter the fault has
been successfully handled or not. For detailed information about collecting fault
information, refer to section 2.1.2 Collecting Fault Information.

IX. Reporting and Waiting for Technical Support


If you fail to clear the fault according to related emergent fault handling flows, ask for
technical support from the customer service center (see page 2 of the cover of this
manual) or regional office of Huawei by telephone or fax.
In order to shorten the handling time of the fault, record your emergency handling in
detail, notify Huawei of the replaced boards during the handling, and ask for
corresponding standby boards. For the fax, you can use the Emergency Maintenance
Note. For details, refer to Appendix A Record Tables of Emergency Maintenance.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
2-3

Maintenance Manual Emergency Maintenance


U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

2.1.2 Collecting Fault Information


Collect the following types of the equipment faults:

I. Brief Report of Fault


The service carrier can design the brief report of the fault. The contents of the report
include the occurrence time, nature, representation, and detailed handling of the fault.
When the fault is not solved, you can use the Emergency Maintenance Note to
replace the brief report of the fault.

II. Collecting Debug Logs


You need to copy all the *.dbg and *.log files under the directory
E:\MSSQL\SGData in the BAM and save them to a new path in time. These files are
*.dbg, debug.log, and DatamanError.log.

Caution:
In this version, if the server is in single-system mode, the default storage path for the
system debugging information is E:\MSSQL\SGData. For actual path, refer to the
actual installation directory of the system.
In this version, if the server is in dual-system mode, the default storage path for the
system debugging information is F:\MSSQL\DATALOG.

These debug log files are crucial to the location of the fault. When the size of these
files reaches a certain threshold, the system will automatically remove the information
saved originally. Therefore, after the emergent fault occurs, you need to copy and
save these files to another place in time.

III. Collecting Alarm Logs


You need to collect the alarm log information from 30 minutes before the occurrence
of the fault to 30 minutes after it. You can perform the query and saving operations on
the alarm management system. The operations are as follows:
1)

Select Alarm Query -> Query on the menu bar of the alarm management
system, and set the type and time segment of the alarm to be queried on the
pop-up window. Click OK.

2)

On the output window of the query result popped up, right click and select Save
as on the shortcut menu popped up. Then you can export the alarm log
information and save it as a text file.

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

IV. Collecting Command Logs


You need to collect the command log information from 30 minutes before the
occurrence of the fault to 30 minutes after it. You can execute the command LST LOG
on the client to export the related command log information and save it as a text file.

2.2 Handling Equipment Fault


This section describes the emergency measures taken when the equipment or BAM
server breaks down.

2.2.1 Handling Breakdown of Cabinet or Frame


If you confirm that an emergent fault has occurred to the cabinet or frame, follow these
steps to check the equipment and handle the fault.

I. Checking If Power Supply to Cabinet Is Normal


A power failure to the cabinet leads to the breakdown of the host. Follow these
methods to check if the power supply to the cabinet is normal:
z

If the green RUN indicator on the front panel of the power distribution frame is
on and blinks once every two seconds, it indicates that the power supply to the
cabinet is normal. That is, the power supply to the power distribution frame and
the circuit in it is normal.

If the green RUN indicator on the front panel of the power distribution frame is
off, it indicates that the power supply to the cabinet is abnormal. That is, neither
of the two channels of the power supply to the power distribution frame has any
voltage.

II. Powering On and Restarting Cabinet After Repairing Power Supply System
Abnormal power supply to the cabinet is generally caused by faults of the power
supply system of the equipment room. In this case, proceed as follows to restore the
power supply:
1)

To prevent accidents, turn off all the power switches (SW1 to SW6) on the front
panel of the power distribution frame before the power supply system of the
equipment room returns to normal.

2)

Repair the power supply system of the equipment room immediately.

3)

After the power supply system of the equipment room returns to normal, power
on and restart the cabinet according to the methods described in section 3.1
Power-On Operations.

III. Checking If Power Supply to Master Service Frame Is Normal


After confirming that the power supply to the cabinet is normal, check if the power
supply to the master service frame is normal. Since such important boards as the
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
2-5

Maintenance Manual Emergency Maintenance


U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

HSYS and SBPI are configured in the master service frame, a power failure to the
master service frame directly leads to the breakdown of the equipment. Proceed as
follows to check if the power supply to the master service frame is normal:
z

If the indicators on the front panels of all the boards in the master service frame
are on, it indicates that the power supply to the master service frame is normal.

If no indicator on the front panels of the boards in the master service frame is on,
it indicates that the power supply to the master service frame is abnormal.

If the power supply to the master service frame is abnormal, do not perform any
operations before locating the fault. Contact Huawei immediately for technical
support.

IV. Checking If HSYSs in Master Service Frame and Slave Service Frame
Have Broken Down
The HSYS module supports the normal operation of service frames (OSTA frames). If
all the HSYSs break down, no boards in the frames can work normally.
If the following situations occur, it indicates that the HSYSs have broken down:
z

The RUN indicators on the front panels of the active and standby HSYSs are off
or constantly on.

The FAIL indicator on the front panels of the active and standby HSYSs lights
up.

The high-speed bus status indicators DOMA and DOMB on the front panels of
the active and standby HSYSs are all off.

The CPU utilizations of the active and standby HSYSs are close to 50% for a
long time.

V. Resetting or Replacing HSYS


After confirming that the HSYS module in the service frame has broken down, first
reset the active and standby HSYSs, and then check if the HSYS module runs
normally. If it runs abnormally, try to replace the HSYS boards to remove the fault.

VI. Collecting Fault Information


No matter the fault is removed or not, you need to collect the fault information as
described in section 2.1.2 Collecting Fault Information.

2.2.2 Handling BAM Breakdown


If you confirm that the BAM has broken down, handle the fault immediately according
to the following process: remove the power supply fault of the BAM restart the BAM
protect the site environment wait for technical support.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Maintenance Manual Emergency Maintenance


U-SYS SG7000 Signaling Gateway

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

I. Checking If Power Supply to BAM Is Normal


A power failure to the BAM leads to a BAM breakdown. Proceed as follows to check if
the power supply to the BAM is normal:
z

If the power indicator of the BAM is green, it indicates that the power supply to
the BAM is normal and the BAM is on.

If the power indicator of the BAM is yellow, it indicates that the power supply to
the BAM is normal and the BAM is in the standby state.

If the power indicator of the BAM is off, it indicates that the power supply to the
BAM is abnormal.

If the power supply to the BAM is abnormal, do not perform any operations before
locating the fault cause. Contact Huawei immediately for technical support.

II. Checking If Hard Disk Array Cabinet Is Normally Powered


z

If the BAM is in single-system mode and the system is not equipped with a hard
disk array cabinet, you can skip this step.

If the BAM is in dual-system mode and the system is equipped with a hard disk
array cabinet, check the power indicator on the front panel of the hard disk array
cabinet. When the power supply is normal, the indicator is constantly green.

III. Restarting BAM


If the power supply the BAM is normal but the BAM breaks down, proceed as follows
to rapidly restore the normal operation of the BAM:
1)

If the BAM is in the standby state, press the power switch of the BAM to restart
the BAM.

2)

If the Windows operating system of the BAM is still running, use the restart
function of the operating system to restart the BAM.

3)

If the Windows operating system of the BAM breaks down, press the Reset
button of the BAM to restart the BAM.

IV. Protecting Site Environment


If you cannot restore the normal operation of the BAM by restarting it, do not perform
such operations to the BAM as reinstalling the system or formatting the hard disk
before technical support personnel of Huawei arrive. Otherwise, you may lose
important data on the hard disk of the BAM.

V. Collecting Fault Information


No matter the fault is removed or not, you need to collect the fault information as
described in section 2.1.2 Collecting Fault Information.

connections are normal.

7)

Check if the data is consistent.

8)

If insolvable problems occur during the restart, contact Huawei for technical
support.

2.3 Handling Extremely Heavy Traffic Fault


Since the equipment is designed with much redundancy, extremely heavy traffic does
not have much impact on the transfer and translation of the equipment. Long-time
extremely heavy traffic, however, will cause faults such as rise of CPU utilization,
generation of a large number of alarms, and no response to delivered commands.
Proceed as follows to handles the faults:
Extremely heavy traffic may lead to the congestion of links, SBPU, or HSYS, which
further causes mass congestion of links or boards. As a result, mass interruption of
communication occurs. If the extremely high traffic fault is not handled in time, the
consequences can be severe.

Caution:
Extremely heavy traffic may cause no response for commands delivered. In the
process of emergency maintenance, if the system does not respond after a command
has been delivered many times, contact Huawei immediately for technical support.

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

I. Analyzing Fault Alarm


When a sudden alarm occurs, stay calm, observe the alarm carefully, record it, and
analyze its cause. If you confirm that the alarm is caused by extremely heavy traffic,
ask for technical support in accordance with the related flow and perform the following
operations.

II. Clearing Activation Statistics and Closing Statistics Console


By using the DEL TRFACT command to clear activation statistics, you can reduce the
load on the SLPU, SBPU, and HSYS in the foreground and cut the CPU utilization.
After the statistics console is closed, the statistic data stored by the host in the input /
output controller (IOC) will not be sent to the background terminal. In this way, you can
reduce the communication load of the BAM.

III. Canceling All Message Tracing tasks


Carry out the RST TRACE command to cancel all message tracing tasks. You can
also carry out the STP ALLMTPTRAC, STP ALLTRAC, STP ALLTRAC, STP
M3TRAC, or STP SCTPTRAC command to cancel the tracing of the MTP message,
SCCP, maintenance and debugging message, M3UA message, and SCTP message.

Caution:
If there is no response to the command, re-send the command several times. If there
is still no response, contact Huawei for technical support.

IV. Deactivating Links of Office Direction, Load of Which Constantly Exceeds


0.9 Erl
Sometimes, the load of all the links of an office direction constantly exceeds 0.9 erl, or
the links frequently receive TFP and TFA messages, which leads to frequent
switchover of the links. In this case, you should use the command DEA N7LKS in the
terminal maintenance and test system to deactivate all the links in the office direction.

V. Handling Faults on Links B and D in Opposite Equipment and End Office


When links B and D of the equipment of the opposite plane are faulty while links A and
C are normal, messages cannot be forwarded from the plane. At this time, the
forwarded and translated messages will be transferred to the equipment from link C.
As a result, the load of the equipment will rise sharply. In this case, deactivate link C.
If the end office statically shares the load of the equipment, the messages forwarded
and translated by the end office will be discarded when the opposite equipment is

Chapter 2 Emergency Maintenance Flow

faulty. In this case, modify the data of the end office, and direct the corresponding
translation point to the local equipment.

VI. Handling Communication Timeout in Foreground and Background


When the HSYS has a high CPU utilization, commands sent from the terminal
workstation (WS) such as one to deactivate a link often do not get a response, and the
terminal prompts Communication Timeout. In this case, you can consult engineering
information to look for the SLPU board with high load or with links which receive TFP
and TFA messages so frequently that the links switch over frequently. After that, pull
out the corresponding board to deactivate the links and reduce the load.

VII. Collecting Fault Information


No matter the fault is removed or not, you need to collect the fault information as
described in section 2.1.2 Collecting Fault Information.

The BAM database is also called the background database. It is a SQL database
stored in the hard disk of the BAM in the format of a data table. Its main function is to
store all kinds of data generated in the users data configurations.

3.4.1 Automatic Backup of Database


At 4:30 a.m. (default time) every day, the system automatically backs up the BAM
database and the registry to a default directory.
z

In single-system mode, the default directory is E:\MSSQL\SGDATA.

In dual-system mode, the default directory is F:\MSSQL\DATALOG.

Caution:
z

In this version, the default storage path for the BAM database and registry is
E:\MSSQL\SGDATA. For the specific path, refer to the actual installation
directory.

Ensure that the disk has adequate space.

Twenty-two backup devices are needed for routine backup (twenty-two


erasable/writable compact disks or twenty-two tape cassettes). Of the twenty-two
devices, six are used to back up the data from Monday to Saturday of the current
week (ordinary backup), four to back up the data of the recent four Sundays
(weekly backup), and twelve to back up the data of the first day of each month of
the current year (monthly backup).

1)

Automatic backup of the BAM database

The backup of the BAM database is performed in a cyclic manner. At most eleven
database files can be backed up. The backup file of the BAM database includes the
following contents.
z

Saving the database backup of the past consecutive seven days from the current
day (except Sunday), BamYYYYMMDD.dat is the file name of these six files.

Saving the database backup of the four Sundays of the past 28 days,
BamYYYYMMDD.dat is the file name of these four files.

On the first day of each month, a BAM database backup has been stored in a file
BamMonthBak.dat.

2)

Automatic backup of the BAM registry

The system automatically stores the BAM registration information in the Windows NT
system registry every day. Only the latest backup is retained, with the file name of
BamReg.bak.

Note:
In the BAM.ini configuration file, you can set the start time of the automatic BAM
database backup and registry backup for the system by modifying the value of
BkpDbStartHour (start hour of the database backup) and BkpDbStartMin (start minute
of the database backup) in DataMan. Restart the DataMan process for the new
setting to take effect after the modification of the content in the sub-item.

Appendix B Power Supply System of Cabinet

Appendix B Power Supply System of Cabinet


B.1 Power Supply Loop of Power Distribution Frame
All cabinets of the SG7000 are N68-22 cabinets. Under normal circumstances, the
power of each N68-22 cabinet is supplied by two independent 48 V direct current (DC)
power supplies. The power supply of the components inside the cabinet is controlled by
the PDF at the top of the cabinet. The power supply of the PDF is as shown in Figure
B-1.
-48V1
-48V2

PDF

SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 SW5 SW6

Figure B-1 Power supply of the PDF


In order to increase the reliability of the power supplies of the components inside the
cabinet, the PDF uses a large power diode to combine the two input power supplies
into one. Then the power supply is exported to the six switches (from SW1 to SW6) on
the panel of the PDF through one power bus cable. These switches help to supply the
power for the components inside the cabinet through corresponding power distribution
system. In this way, when one input power supply fails, the other can still supply power
for the components inside the cabinet through the PDF.

B.2 Power Supply Loop Inside Cabinet


The SG7000 has two types of cabinets: basic cabinet and extension cabinet. Because
different types of cabinets have different components, their primary power supply
system loops (namely 48 V power supply systems) are different.
The LAN Switch 0, LAN Switch 1, and the KVM/LCD converter inside the basic cabinet
are controlled by a power switch, while the other components are powered by the two
switches on the PDF.
Because the BAM can be either in single-system mode or dual-system mode, different
modes have different hardware configurations. In this case, the power supplies also
differ accordingly. For specific differences, refer to the following tables.
