PURPOSE

1. This describes how to reset the BSC Standby Board, the CPU on the XPUa
Board, and the DSP on the DPU Board.
II.

SCOPE

1. Apply for Board Huawei BSC6900.

2. O&M Department, BSS Team.

PREREQUISITES
1. The Boards are in position.

V.

CAUTION
1. Do Not reset the Active Board.
2. If the Standby Board is Not Available or the Standby Board is Faulty, Resetting
the Board will disrupt the Ongoing Services. Thus, perform this operation with
caution.
3. Resetting the board may affect the Ongoing Services. Therefore, you are
advised to perform the Switchover when the traffic load is light, for example,
in the middle of the night.
4. Do not perform data configuration within 10 to 15 seconds after Resetting of
the Board; otherwise, data inconsistency may occur.
5. Reset the CPU: Each XPUa board has eight CPUs numbered from 0 to 7. Other
types of boards have one CPU each. If CPU 0 of the XPUa Board is reset, the
entire Board is reset.
6. Resetting the DSP: Each DPU board has 28 DSPs numbered from 0 to 27. Each
DSP can be reset separately.

Right-click a Board in position in the Device Panel or Emulation Panel, and

then choose Reset BSC Board.

b. Through MML Commands

Run the RST BRD command to reset a BSC board.
Example:
To Reset the Board (Subrack No. = 3; Slot No. = 7), run the following
command: RST BRD: SRN=3, SN=7;
To reset the subsystem on the SPUa board (Subrack No. = 3; Slot No. = 2;
Subsystem No. = 1), run the following command: RST BRD: SRN=3,
SN=2, SSN=1;
2. Check Standby Board
a. Through menu operations
Start the Device Panel (see Starting the Device Panel) or start the Emulation
Panel (see Starting the Emulation Panel).
Right-click a board in position in the Device Panel or Emulation Panel, and
then choose Query BSC Board Information from the shortcut menu. The

Query BSC Board Information dialog box is displayed, showing details of

the Board.

b. Through MML commands:

Run the DSP BRD command to query the information about the BSC
board.
Example: To Query the working status of the SCUa board (Subrack No. =
0; Slot No. = 7), run the following command: DSP BRD: SRN=0, SN=7;
The result is as follows:
%%DSP BRD: SRN=0, SN=7;%%
RETCODE = 0 Execution succeeded.
