1.2 Prerequisites
This section provides information on the documents, tools, and conditions that apply to the procedure.
1.2.1 Documents
Before starting this procedure, ensure that the following document is available:
1.2.2 Tools
No tools are required.
1.2.3 Conditions
Before starting this procedure, ensure that the following conditions are met:
- A License Management, Emergency Unlock Reset Key Required alarm is raised.
- No ongoing maintenance activities are affecting the node.
- The reason for entering Emergency Unlock mode is known.
- The user has proper authority to handle configuration management of the network elements.
- An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.
2 Procedure
Do the following:
- Contact the Ericsson supplier to order an entitlement containing an Emergency Unlock Reset Key, if necessary.
- Navigate to the EmergencyUnlock Managed Object (MO), for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1,EmergencyUnlock=1
- Verify that the value of counter activationsLeft has been reset:
(EmergencyUnlock=1) > show activationsLeft
When the counter has been reset, the system returns the following:
activationsLeft=2
- Has the counter been reset?
Yes: Proceed with Step 8.
No: Continue with Step 5.
- Trigger a manual connection
to Arwa:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1,ArwaConfiguration=1
(ArwaConfiguration=1)>connectToArwa
The system returns true if the action was executed successfully.
- Check the result of the connectToArwa operation:
>show ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1,ArwaConfiguration=1,reportProgress, result
result=SUCCESS indicates that the connection to Arwa was successful.
result=FAILURE indicates that the connection to Arwa was unsuccessful.
- Was the connection successful?
Yes: Continue with Step 8.
No: Check the connection status to determine the cause:
>show ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1,ArwaConfiguration=1,reportProgress
Continue with Step 8.
- Is the alarm cleared?
Yes: Proceed with Step 11.
No: Continue with Step 9.
- Perform data collection, refer to Data Collection Guideline for MTAS.
- Consult the next level of maintenance support. Further actions are outside the scope of this instruction.
- Job is completed.
