SDR V4.09.21 Version Upgrade Guide Internal Use Only

Overview
This guide describes three scenarios of SDR upgrade.
Scenario 1: Upgrading V4.00.30 series to V4.09.21 series
Scenario 2: Upgrading SDRV4.09.21.05 to SDRV4.09.21.08
Scenario 3: Commissioning newly established SDRV4.09 base stations (the SDR
delivered to the field is of V4.00.30 series).
Compared with SDRV4.00 series, there are some changes in SDRV4.09 series, that is,
the platform of SDRV4.09 series is changed, and an independent OMCB is installed on
the server to perform the function of the OMCB in iSMG (OMCR & OMCB split).
Therefore, the upgrade from SDRV4.00 series to SDRV4.09 series is more complex
than the upgrade from SDRV4.00.20 series to SDRV4.00.30 series. Two extra
operations are needed: upgrade the transition version package before upgrading SDR
software, and then upgrade SDR configuration data with the offline upgrade tool
(ZXOMCBSmoothTool).

1.1

Scope of Application
Base Station type: BS8700, BS8800, BS8900 (including BS8900A), and BS8906.
Requirements for SDR version: For SDRV4.00.30.08 and later versions, the SDR can be
upgraded to SDRV4.09.21.05/08 directly with the steps in this guide. For SDRV4.00.10x
and SDRV4.00.20x series, the SDR must be upgraded to SDRV4.00.30.08 before they
are upgraded to SDRV4.09.21.05/08, and the iSMG version should also be upgraded
accordingly. Please refer to ZXG10-BSS Version Upgrade Steps-SDR (V4.00.30.08P13)
for details.

Version Switch (OMCBV4.09)


We can roll back the base station version by the package switch function in the system.
Currently, OMCBV4.09 supports both Package Switch and Package Batch Switch.
Package Switch is used to roll back the version of a single base station. While Package
Batch Switch is used to roll back the version of two or more base stations.

Remarks
For SDRV4.09.21.08P07 and later versions, there are three disk space optimization
methods.

System automatically deletes the CPU & FPGA version files of the CC board in the
SW1 and SW2 folders of the disk under certain certain circumstances.

Excute a delete command manually on OMCB to delete RRU version in the


running
main
version
package.
This
solution
is
applicable
to
OMCBV4.09.21.1108P02/SDRV4.09.21.08P07.

Excute a disk cleanup command manually on OMCB to clear the junk files in
the disk. This solution is applicable to OMCBV4.09.21.11/SDRV4.09.21.08P07.

The third method deletes only junk files and logs, and will not affect the running and
switch of versions. The possible influences of the first two solutisons are listed below.
METHOD 1

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

SDR V4.09.21 Version Upgrade Guide Internal Use Only

Optimization Description:
Take the upgrade from SDRV4.00.3008 (hereafter referred to as 3008) to
SDRV4.00.21.08P07 (hereafter referred to as 2108P07) as an example. During the
activation of 2108P07, the 2108P07 version file of the CC board in the SW1or SW2
folder, including CPU & FPGA version files, will be deleted. But because these two files
still exist in the BIN directory, 2108P07 can also be run and started. Meanwhile, because
the files of 3008 were not deleted, version rollback is also possible.
Problem:
If it is necessary to switch to 2108P07 after version rollback, the switch will fail, because
there is no 2108P07 version file for the CC board in the disk.
Solution:
The switch failure occurs because the 2108P07 version file of the CC board was deleted
in the disk of SDR. This problem can be solved by downloading the version package
again from OMCB. After the version package is downloaded, please select the slave
main version package to activate the vesion, and it is not necessary to select version
switch.
METHOD 2
Optimization Description:
Because the running & slave main version packages of the RRU have been stored in the
RRU, deleting the running main version package will not affect the running of the RRU
and the version switch.
Problem:
When it is necessary to repace the RRU or expand the RRU capacity due to fault, if the
version of the RRU is not the same as the running version in SDR, the RRU will send a
request for the version to CC board. But because the version has been deleted in the
CC board, RRU cannot acquire the version, and therefore cannot work properly.
Solution:
Download the version package from OMCB.
