Manual Upgrade Procedure of RNC.

Follow all the points and procedures as mentioned in the RNC Upgrade Checklist.
This Doc is an alternative to point number 12 i.e. Upgrade via SMO.
In this doc, The Manual Upgrade Procedure of the RNC will be shown.
Use this procedure in case, Upgrade is not possible via SMO.

1.

First of all we need to download the package on the node. Make sure there is
Software package present in the OSS. Now, we create an upgrade package for
doing FTP of the software package on the node from the OSS where the
package is stored. For that, First connect to the node and fire the command:
cr swmanagement=1,upgradepackage=<packagename>
Then we need to give:
a. The FTP IP address of the OSS.
b. Path of the Upgrade Packages xml file in the OSS.
c. OSS username
d. OSS password

Log is shown below for a clearer view.

2.

In the above log, we can see that a proxy is shown in the end (in red colour).
We use this proxy to Force Install the Package which we hav just done FTP to.
For that, next, well fire the command:
acc 3805 nonblockingforcedinstall
Type Y when asked whether we are sure or not.
Log is shown below for this step:

APRVJ02> acc 3805 nonblockingforcedinstall

Next we track the upgrade by firing the command pr upgr.

We take the proxy number for the corresponding upgrade package that we are
working on and then fire the command
get <proxy> sta|prog

Log is shown below:

As we can see above, the progress Count shown here is 12 and progress total
is 366. Once the progress Count reaches the progress Total of 366, The
progress Header shows IDLE and State is INSTALL COMPLETED.

Log is shown below:

APRVJ02> get 2115 sta|prog

Then we Verify the upgrade package using the Proxy of the upgrade package
using the command:
acc 2115 verifyUpgrade
Log is shown below:

APRVJ02> acc 2115 verifyUpgrade

110720-22:18:56 10.105.219.229 7.1m RNC_NODE_MODEL_L_1_119

Then we trace the upgrade using the proxy again and keep a track until the
Progress Header goes in IDLE State again.
Log is as follows:

Fire the command get <proxy of upgrade package> to confirm that upgrade
package verification has been successfully completed and compare with the
successful output marked in the red below in the log.
Log is as follows:

Once the Verification is Successful, We will fire the command to begin the
actual upgrade of the package for which we hav downloaded and installed the
software by firing the command: acc 2115 rebootnodeupgrade.
Log is as follows:

APRVJ02> acc 2115 rebootnodeupgrade

Keep tracing the upgrade using the proxy.

Note:
The proxy of the upgrade package changes during the upgrade after
the large restart hence make sure you are tracing the correct proxy.
Verify the proxy by firing the command pr upgr as was explained above.
Once the upgrade is done, The State becomes Awaiting Confirmation.

Log is as follows:

APRVJ02> get 2073 sta|prog

Once the state shows Awaiting Confirmation, the next thing you need to do is
to Confirm the Upgrade by firing the command:
acc 2073 confirmupgrade
Log is as follows:

APRVJ02> acc 2073 confirmupgrade

Finally the Upgrade is Successfully completed and confirmed once the Upgrade
progress Header shows IDLE State again.
Log is as follows:

Finally you can check the Software Level by firing the command cvls.
