Item Result Conclusion
PC Checking the existence of multiple IP addresses:
If the computer loaded with the LMT software runs the Windows 98 operating system, this computer cannot be configured with three or more IP addresses. Otherwise, it leads to a low file transfer rate or disconnection between the LMT and the NodeB. If three or more IP addresses are configured, delete the redundant addresses. There are two IP addresses at most.
3.7 Checking the Settings of the NodeB File Server
If the NodeB file server is incorrectly set, the upgrade fails. For details, see section 7.5 "FAQ4."
Before upgrading NodeBs, check the settings of the file servers of all NodeBs as follows (This section takes the DBS3900 WCDMA as an example.):
Step 1 Start and log in to the M2000 client.
Step 2 Choose Software > File Server Setting on the M2000 client.
The File Server Setting dialog box is displayed.
Step 3 Choose Root > NodeB > RNC_5103 > DBS3900 WCDMA in the navigation pane, as shown in Figure 3-1.

3.12 Confirming the Configuration BaselineRun the CFM CB command to back up the active version, including software version and data configuration file, to create a new Configuration Baseline (CB). For version rollback after the upgrade, you need to confirm the CB, for details about rollback operation steps see 6 "Version Rollback."
There are two modes to confirm the CB: FORCED and UNFORCED. If the FORCED mode is selected, the system recreates a CB even if the active CB is confirmed. If the UNFORCED mode is selected, reconfirming the CB fails if the active CB is confirmed.
It is recommended that Confirm Mode be set to UNFORCED, which is the default value of the parameter. Because the name of the CB cannot be duplicated, the CB might be named with the corresponding current running version and date, such as V200R011C01SPC100_20091023.
NOTE
After the confirmation of the CB, do not change the configuration. Otherwise, the CB should be reconfirmed.

V200R011C01SPC752 Upgrade Guide
7.5 FAQ4
Question
What is the function of the NodeB file server?
Answer
To upgrade NodeB software, you can set the NodeB file server to the M2000 or the related RNC. The server is used to store NodeB software packages and to provide FTP server services for the NodeB to be upgraded. When the software is upgraded, the NodeB needs to download the software package from the file server.
The NodeB file server can be set to either the M2000 or the related RNC.
If the RNC acts as the file server, it has the following advantages:
During the upgrade, the NodeB can download software packages in batches from the related RNC at a higher speed than from the M2000.
If a firewall restricts the access of the NodeB FTP client to the M2000 server in the IP network configuration, software packages fail to be downloaded from the NodeB file server M2000 but can be downloaded from the NodeB file server RNC.
Therefore, it is recommended that the NodeB file server be set to the RNC by default.
NOTE
Before upgrade, you only need to check that the NodeB file server is correctly configured.
If the configuration of the NodeB file server is correct, the NodeB software package can be automatically downloaded from the M2000 server to the NodeB file server.
7.6 FAQ5
Question
Why can the download rate be higher during the upgrade process if the Download by Configuration check box is selected?
Answer
The NodeB software package contains the software for all the boards supported by the NodeB. Each board type corresponds to one board software package.
In regular mode, the entire NodeB software package is downloaded to the NodeB. In practice, however, only some types of board are configured on the NodeB, and not all board software packages are required.
Download by configuration refers to the action to download the required board software from the file server during the upgrade according to the types of board currently configured on the NodeB. This can effectively reduce the total volume of data to be downloaded, minimize the duration, and ensure that the software package occupies the least storage space on the hard disk.
Generally, download by configuration has the following benefits:

Only the required board software packages are downloaded according to the current NodeB configuration.
The valuable maintenance link bandwidth is utilized effectively, the duration of downloading the software is minimized, and the upgrade efficiency is improved.
The storage space on the hard disk of the NodeB is utilized effectively, and waste of storage space for software not to be used is avoided.
This mode features a higher download rate when the NodeB is configured with boards of fewer types.

7.7 FAQ6
Question
How to handle the following alarms generated when rolling back the version by running ACT CB: the alarm with ID 26253 (Board Software Auto-Supply Failure)?
Answer
During the upgrade, the version to be rolled back is downloaded according to the configuration. In this case, if some boards are not configured, the corresponding software packages are not downloaded to the NE. When these boards are configured and the NE is being upgraded to another version, the corresponding software packages are not available in the standby directory. If the version is rolled back to the version before upgrade, the alarm with ID 26253 (Board Software Auto-Supply Failure) is generated.
To solve the problem using the M2000, upload the corresponding software packages again to the M2000 server, and then run SPL SOFTWARE to manually supplement the board software. The NodeB automatically activates the board software.
To solve the problem using the LMT, run SPL SOFTWARE to manually supplement the board software. The NodeB automatically activates the board software. If the command cannot be run successfully and the software packages are removed from the local hard disk or their paths are changed, you should download the software packages again and activate them.
