1.6 Terminology
The following terminology is used in this document:
The terminology used is that specified by the International Telecommunication
Union Telecommunication standardization sector (ITU-T) and European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards.
On the GUI, WSS indicates the Wireless Call Server (WCS).
Procedures described in this guide are performed using a mouse. "Click" means
use the left mouse button. "Right-click" means use the right mouse button.

3 Prerequisites
Note: This chapter describes the prerequisite that has to be fulfilled prior to the
3.1 Assumptions
Ensure that the following conditions have been met before beginning this
procedure:
Maintenance personnel are familiar with Linux OS and commands.
Maintenance personnel are familiar with Alcatel-Lucent 5060 WCS ATCA system
hardware.

Prerequisite(s) None
Note Alcatel-Lucent employees should store this data in the following location:

ed>\
4. Ensure primary SAM is active and all other cards are active/standby
a) SSH to the Primary SAM.
Type:
SSH <primary_sam_addr>
Press ENTER.
b) If primary SAM is standby:
Right click the active SAM and select Active SAM Control > Hot
Switchover. In case of 'Hot Switchover' command failure, use the 'Switch

oamf_cards
Press ENTER.
d) Ensure that Inactive does not appear on the output for the SIM cards.
e) Ensure that Not operational does not appear on the output for all other
cards.
5. Check SS7 links' status.
a) SSH to the Primary SAM.
Type:
SSH <Primary sam addr>
Press ENTER.
b) Type:
ss7LinkInfo a
Press ENTER.
Verify that all applicable SS7 links are in service (ISV), uninhibited (notInh),
and not congested (notCon).
6. Check the number of active calls on CCMs.
From the primary SAM type:
getCallsOnCCM.sh ccm
Press ENTER.
Or via the WEM in Tools > EMS Scripts > Argument Input and then type:
ccm
Press Start.
7. Check the number of active subscribers on CCMs.
From the primary SAM type:
countVLRRecords.sh
Press ENTER.
8. For each CCM on which the previous script is run, record the results.
This data will be compared against the data collected in the Post Activity
Health Check. The number of active subscribers should not differ significantly.
9. Check for any core dumps that might have occurred.
Type:
rshCmd ls ltr /stats/core/* all
Press ENTER.
10. Ensure that replication is in good standing on SAM, DDM, and CCM.
Type:
rshCmd p checkrep.sh sam ddm ccm
Press ENTER.
There should be:
35 replication PIDs for SAMs,
7 for DDMs (5 on a 2 DDM system), and
5 for CCMs.

11. Check that the software version is the correct patch level available on the WCS.
Type:
cat /space/stats/Atrium_Release_Info.txt
Press ENTER.
Note There are two different hardware configurations for a WCS. The steps below
are annotated where there is a difference between Netra and ATCA by a
statement similar to [for SUN Netra WCS]

4. Save the file after making changes by typing ESC:wq!.
5. Switch to the secondary SAM by typing goCard <secondary_sam_addr>.
6. On the secondary SAM, verify that the /etc/ntp.conf file contains the
following entries. If all of the entries are not in the ntp.conf file change it to
the following:
Note: This step can be shorted/secured by first copying the /etc/ntp.conf file
from the primary SAM to the secondary SAM by: "rcp /etc/ntp.conf
SAM014:/etc/" as an example
vi /etc/ntp.conf
