The pre-deployment upgrade indicates an upgrade scenario in which the BTS software is upgraded
when the GTMU is not connected to the BSC.
Version of data configuration supports SRAN: indicates that the Is Support Normalized Data
Configuration parameter is set to SUPPORT(Support).
It is recommended that main control boards, TRXs, UTRP boards, and UBRI boards be upgraded on
the M2000.
Whether monitoring boards and USCU boards need to be upgraded depends on precautions released
by Huawei. Software upgrade of the boards needs to be performed on the BSC6900 LMT or SMT. For
detailed operations, see the 3900 Series GSM BTS V100R013C00SPC031 Upgrade Guide (BSC6900
LMT-Based) and 3900 Series GSM BTS V100R013C00SPC031 Upgrade Guide (SMT-Based).
The upgrade of a BTS from non-SRAN data configuration to SRAN data configuration can be
performed on only the M2000.

CAUTION
For a multi-mode base station, SingleRAN3.0 or later can be upgraded directly to the target
version whereas versions earlier than SingleRAN3.0 must be upgraded to SingleRAN3.0 first
before it is upgraded to the target version.
For the upgrade of SingleRAN3.0 and later versions, check Appendix 1 Version Mapping
Information to see whether the source version is a SingleRAN version. You can obtain this
appendix from the multi-mode base station release notes in the document package delivered
with the software version of the multi-mode base station. 1.2 describes upgrade requirements
for SingleRAN versions. For non-SingleRAN versions, contact Huawei technical support for an
upgrade policy.

1.4 Precautions
1.4.1 Notes
1.
Determine whether the M2000 and the BSC6900 need to be upgraded according to the
version configuration information released with the 3900 Series GSM BTS
V100R013C00SPC031 Release Notes.doc.
2.
Services are interrupted during the upgrade. Therefore, the upgrade must be performed at
the time specified by the customer.
3.
4.
The service interruption duration and the communication interruption duration mentioned
earlier are obtained on the assumption that the network performance is the best. Therefore,
the time is for reference only.
5.
BTS configurations on the BSC6900 LMT or CME require BTS configuration control
rights. Therefore, do not configure a BTS when it is being upgraded by using the BSC6900
LMT or CME. Otherwise, the upgrade may fail.
6.
When performing one-click upgrade for the GBTS on the M2000, only the GTMU
software and TRX software can be upgraded. If you need to upgrade other board software,
see 3900 Series GSM BTS V100R013C00SPC031 Upgrade Guide (SMT-Based).

CAUTION
All modes of a multi-mode base station and the base station controllers (if any) must be
managed by the same M2000, and the modes have been bound to each other on the M2000.
For details about how to determine the mode of a base station, see section 7.6"How Do I
Judge Whether a Base Station Runs in Multi-Mode or Single-Mode?"
For a multi-mode base station, ensure that the versions of different modes are compatible
with each other after the upgrade. If a multi-mode and co-module base station is upgraded
mode by mode, the upgrade interval between two modes should not exceed one day.

Version Rollback
If the network malfunctions after the upgrade or the KPIs after the upgrade do not meet the
operator's requirements, roll back the version and report the event to Huawei.
For a multi-mode base station, if multiple modes that have been upgraded to the target versions
need to be rolled back, it is recommended that all the target versions be rolled back to the source
versions.
On the M2000 client, click
and select the NE, then run the DSP BTSSWRBKCAP
command to check whether a fast version rollback can be implemented. If the result shows that
there is a software version that can be rolled back, perform the steps described in section
6.1"Performing a Fast Version Rollback." If there is no version that can be rolled back, perform
the steps described in section 6.2"One-Click Rollback."
If network reconfiguration is required after the upgrade is complete, contact Huawei for
technical support before performing the version rollback.
7 FAQs
Step 3 In the displayed GBTS-NE Upgrade Wizard dialog box, set the rollback parameters, as shown
in 1.1.
Select NE(s) whose version is to be rolled back: When rolling back the version of a single
BTS, search the NE by entering the NE name. When rolling back the version of BTSs in
batches, select BSC, Connection Status, NE Type, and Multi-mode to categorize the
BTSs.
CAUTION
When rolling back upper-level and lower-level BTSs in cascaded mode on the M2000, if the
upper-level BTS is rolled back and reset first, the communication between the lower-level BTS
and the M2000 is interrupted. Therefore, the M2000 shows that the lower-level BTS fails to be
rolled back due to timeout. The lower-level BTS, however, is actually rolled back successfully.
To avoid this problem, it is recommended that you roll back cascaded BTSs one by one.
