Installing a Pre-defined Configuration

Log in as ocadmin.

Generate the pre-defined configurations using the cfgMgr command (refer to the man page for this command for more information).

For example, for a 2-host/duplex platform, the command is of the form:

cfgMgr -resetTemplate all -license <codeword> -host1 <host1> -host2 <host2>

where <codeword> is your license codeword.

Choose one of the pre-defined configurations; refer to the HP OpenCall SS7 3.1 on Linux Release Notes for a list of the available configurations.

Note the Platform ID of your chosen configuration.

Install your chosen configuration using the command:

cfgInstall -from /var/opt/OC/working_config/platform_<id>

If you make a mistake, reset the configuration using the cfgMgr tool.

For more information on cfgInstall and cfgMgr, refer to their man pages.

Configure the hardware.

1. To discover the hardware, use the cfgSs7HwCreate command.

2. To complete the configuration and create the links, use the cfgSs7Hw command.

   	NOTE: If you have a 2-host/duplex platform, you must perform Step 6 and Step 7. Otherwise, go from Step 5 to Step 9 .

Configure the HP OpenCall SS7 LAN to the associated hostIpaddress using the command:

cfgPlatform -add ocLan

For more information, see the corresponding manpage.

Run cfgPropagate -all to propagate the new platform configuration and LAN configuration. Always propagate configurations from the same host (Platform Manager or Front End).

Run cfgCheck on the Platform Manager.

This ensures that all the necessary files are present and, on a 2-host system, checks that the configuration on both hosts is consistent.

Check and load the hardware configuration.

The command ss7HwInit checks that the configuration is valid, and if it is, loads it.

If the configuration is valid the following message is displayed:Configuration successfully loaded in shared memory

and the system transfers the configuration data from the shared memory block to the appropriate hardware and software components, ensuring that the host and the TSU have the same configuration.

If the configuration is invalid, an error message appears describing the problem.

Check the links.

Once you have downloaded the configuration to the TSU, run one or both, of the following commands to check the status of the TSU and TSC(s). ss7TsuStatus -u <tsuId> -C -L

This command checks the status of the TSU itself, the TSC(s) it contains and the links belonging to it.

ss7TscStatus -c <tscId> -L

This command checks TSC status.

The platform is now ready for operation.
