Base Station OMCH Self-recovery Feature Parameter
Description 2 Overview

2 Overview

2.1 Definition
The OM channel (OMCH for short) of a base station refers to the channel through which the
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB communicates with the U2000 or the GBTS communicates with the
BSC to exchange operation and maintenance information about base stations.
If an OMCH is interrupted, measures are taken remotely to recover the OMCH. These
recovery measures include the following:
l Automatic version rollback
l Automatic configuration data rollback
l Transmission link fault rectification

2.2 Benefits
If an OMCH interruption occurs, the Base Station OMCH Self-recovery feature reduces the
need for onsite handling. This therefore shortens the interruption time and saves costs.

3.1 Automatic Version Rollback


The automatic version rollback function is not under switch control and is enabled by default.
The working principles of this function for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB are different from that
for a GBTS. The details are described in the following sections.

Automatic Version Rollback for eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB


After the software version for an NE has been upgraded, the NE will reset. After the NE has
restarted, its software version will be rolled back to the source version and ALM-26255
Automatic Version Rollback will be reported if one of the following faults occurs:

l The NE detects that the initialization of the current version fails.


l The NE detects that the OMCH of the current version has not been successfully
connected, and the interruption has lasted 30 minutes.
After the hot patch of an NE software version takes effect, if one of the following faults
occurs, the hot patch will be rolled back to the original state and ALM-26255 Automatic
Version Rollback will be reported:

l The system abnormally resets within ten minutes after the hot patch is activated.
l The OMCH is continuously disconnected within ten minutes after the hot patch is
activated, and the system resets before the OMCH recovery process starts (for example,
the transmission link fault rectification function is triggered).

Automatic Version Rollback for GBTS


After the software version for an NE has been upgraded, the NE will reset. After the NE has
restarted, its software version will be rolled back to the source version and ALM-26255
Automatic Version Rollback will be reported if one of the following faults occurs:

l The NE detects that the OML of the current version remains disconnected, and the NE
has reset for three times.
l The NE detects that the OML of the current version has not been successfully connected,
and the interruption has lasted 30 minutes.

The GBTS does not support automatic version rollback of hot patches.

3.2 Automatic Configuration Data Rollback


Automatic Configuration Data Rollback for eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB
If you are concerned that data modification may cause long OMCH interruptions and recovery
failures (for example, when the IP address or router is incorrectly modified), you can enable
the automatic configuration data rollback function before modifying the data related to the
OMCH. This function can roll back the configuration data, which reduces the need for site
visits.

NOTE

Users are not advised to enable this function when locally modifying the data related to the OMCH.
Otherwise, the automatic configuration data rollback function may be triggered as a result of an OMCH
interruption.

To enable this function, run the MML command CFM CB to set AUTORBKSW to
ENABLE(Enable) and specify the RBKTIME and RBKCONDITION parameters.
When the CFM CB command is used to enable the automatic configuration data rollback
function, the system saves the current configuration data to the new configuration baseline
(CB) created by this command and then the timer specified by RBKTIME starts. The data
modification must be completed before the timer expires.
For the existing CB, you can also run the MML command MOD CB to enable the automatic
configuration data rollback function. If the configuration cannot be completed before the
period of time specified by RBKTIME expires, run the MML command MOD CB to
reconfigure the rollback parameters. If AUTORBKSW is set to ENABLE(Enable) and the
RBKTIME parameter is reconfigured, the system will restart the timing(run the MML
command DSP CB to query the remaining rollback time).
l The period of time specified by RBKTIME has not expired.
If the OMCH is normal after its configuration data has been modified or recovers to the
normal state after an interruption, and users do not require rollback regardless of an
OMCH interruption, run the MML command MOD CB to disable the automatic
configuration data rollback function. This prevents the rollback of the configuration data
in case of an OMCH interruption.
NOTE

Incorrect modification of certain data will not lead to an immediate OMCH interruption. The OMCH
interruption occurs only after renegotiation with the peer NE about the modified data. Such data includes
parameters in IPSECPROPOSAL, IKEPROPOSAL, and IKECFG MOs. Configuration of these
parameters must be consistent with that of the peer NE.

If the base station resets and related conditions are met before the period of time specified by
RBKTIME expires, the automatic configuration data rollback function still takes effect after
the reset.
l The period of time specified by RBKTIME expires.
– If rollback conditions specified by the parameter RBKCONDITION are met, the
base station resets, data configuration is rolled back to the corresponding CB used
to enable this function, and ALM-26255 Automatic Version Rollback alarm is
reported. The system will automatically disable this function after the rollback is
complete.

Base Station OMCH Self-recovery Feature Parameter
Description 3 Technical Description

NOTE

The OMCH is considered faulty when it is interrupted and detected within five minutes.
– If the rollback conditions are not met, the system waits five more minutes before
making a decision again. The remaining rollback time is five minutes and the timer
restarts. After the five minutes expire,
- If rollback conditions specified by the parameter RBKCONDITION are met, the
base station resets and data configuration is rolled back to the corresponding CB
used to enable this function. If the rollback succeeds, the base station disables this
function.
- If rollback conditions are not met (for example, the OMCH is normal or has
recovered to the normal state), the base station disables this function.
– If the RBKCONDITION parameter is set to
OMCH_AND_SERVICE_FAULT(OMCH_AND_SERVICE_FAULT), the
automatic configuration data rollback function will be triggered only when the
OMCH and all service channels are faulty.
NOTE

If ALM-26255 Automatic Version Rollback is reported with the value of alarm cause being
Configuration Data, then this alarm was triggered by the automatic configuration data rollback
function.
When this function is enabled on a batch of base stations, the external transmission link may be
continuously interrupted. If rollback conditions are met when the timer specifying the rollback time
expires, the automatic configuration data rollback function will be triggered for these base stations. For
an OMCH interruption caused by the batch configuration of base stations, if the U2000 does not finish
the configuration after the period of time specified by RBKTIME expires, this function is triggered only
after the batch configuration is finished, and if rollback conditions specified by RBKCONDITION are
still met.
When users run the ADD BRD command to add a board during the batch configuration of base stations,
the board may be automatically activated. If the timer specifying the rollback time expires, but the board
has not yet been activated, the system will determine whether to trigger the automatic configuration data
rollback function based on the rollback conditions after the board has been activated.

If the automatic configuration data rollback function is manually or automatically disabled,


users need to reconfigure the automatic configuration data rollback function if they want to
enable the function.

The configuration data of peripheral NEs may be modified when the configuration data of
base stations is being modified. After the automatic configuration data rollback function has
been successfully triggered, the configuration data of base stations is rolled back. At the same
time, the data of peripheral NEs may also need to be rolled back to ensure a normal OMCH.
Therefore, the data modification of peripheral NEs during this period and the rollback
methods should be obtained.

Automatic Configuration Data Rollback for GBTS


The GBTS does not support the automatic configuration data rollback function.

3.3 Transmission link fault rectification


The working principles of the automatic remote OMCH establishment function for an
eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB are different from those for a GBTS. The details are described in the
following sections.

Issue 01 (2015-03-23) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 8


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
SingleRAN
Base Station OMCH Self-recovery Feature Parameter
Description 3 Technical Description

Transmission Link Fault Rectification for an eGBTS/NodeB/eNodeB


This function enables a base station to initiate a warm reset when both the OMCH and
services are interrupted. The reset helps resolve certain issues and avoid onsite handling.
If a base station cannot be maintained due to an interrupted OMCH and services have been
interrupted for 30 minutes, the base station automatically resets to rectify the fault. If the fault
persists, the base station will initiate another reset after an interval of 480 minutes. If the two
resets still cannot rectify the fault, the base station will not reset again.

NOTE

The base station initiates the first reset when the following conditions are met:
l Both the OMCH and services are interrupted because the user modifies configuration data.
l The interruption lasts 180 minutes.
The base station automatically resets at a fixed interval (30, 180, or 480 minutes), which cannot be
manually set.
If the conditions for clearing transmission link faults are met, the base station does not reset
automatically when local maintenance connection is normal. If the local maintenance connection is
interrupted later, and both the OMCH and services are interrupted, the base station resets immediately.
This function is enabled by default. If the function is disabled, run the MML command SET
TLFRSWITCH with TLFRSWITCH set to ENABLE(Enable).

Transmission Link Fault Rectification for GBTS


After the OML between the GBTS and BSC has been interrupted for 15 minutes, the GBTS
initiates a warm reset to rectify the fault, which helps avoid onsite handling.
This function is not under switch control and is enabled by default.

NOTE

In this function, the GBTS can reset for an infinite number of times.

6.1 Automatic Version Rollback


The automatic version rollback function is not under switch control and is enabled by default.

NOTE

After a base station triggers the automatic version rollback function, ALM-26255 Automatic Version
Rollback will be reported and the base station will reset. Services will be interrupted during the reset.
In a multimode base station where multiple modes share a board such as a main control board, all modes
involved will be affected when the main control board resets.
The default length of the rollback timer for a GBTS is 30 minutes. The length can be modified by setting
the OMLFailRollbackPolicy parameter in the MML command SET BTSOTHPARA. This parameter
specifies the policy for version rollback when the OML between a GBTS and the BSC fails to be set up
after the GBTS is upgraded. The parameter has the following values: 30min(30min), 60min(60min),
120min(120min), and NOTROLLBACK(NOTROLLBACK). Note that modification of this
parameter is permanently valid.

6.2 Engineering Guidelines for Automatic Configuration


Data Rollback
The GBTS does not support the automatic configuration data rollback function.
The following sections describe the engineering guidelines for this function on an eGBTS/
NodeB/eNodeB.

6.2.1 When to Use Automatic Configuration Data Rollback


Modifying the radio configuration parameters does not lead to OMCH interruption, so the
automatic configuration data rollback function does not need to be enabled.
However, modifying the configuration data related to OMCH may cause continuous OMCH
interruption, which cannot be remotely recovered. You are advised to enable the automatic
configuration data rollback function in this scenario.
Users are not advised to enable this function when locally modifying the data related to the
OMCH. Otherwise, the automatic configuration data rollback function may be triggered as a
result of an OMCH interruption.

Description 6 Engineering Guidelines

MO Parameter Name Parameter ID Setting Notes

- Rollback Time RBKTIME Users should estimate in advance the


required time for modifying the
configuration in order to set appropriate
rollback time. If this parameter is set to
30 minutes according to your estimation,
the modification must be completed
within 30 minutes. If the modification
cannot be completed within 30 minutes,
you can run the MOD CB command to
reconfigure the rollback time in advance.
Set the value of this parameter based on
the actual situations.
If this parameter is set to a too large
value, the OMCH may be interrupted for
a long time (services may also be
interrupted for a long time). If this
parameter is set to a too small value, the
automatic configuration data rollback
function cannot take much effect in data
protection.
Assume that this parameter is set to 240
minutes. If users incorrectly configure a
parameter 20 minutes after this function
is enabled and the OMCH and services
are interrupted, the system will wait 220
minutes before triggering this function.
Such a long interruption affects user
experiences.

- Rollback RBKCONDI Set this parameter to


Condition TION OMCH_FAULT(OMCH_FAULT) in
most cases.
If this parameter is set to
OMCH_AND_SERVICE_FAULT(OM
CH_AND_SERVICE_FAULT), the
automatic configuration data rollback
function will be triggered after the time
specified by RBKTIME expires only
when the OMCH and all service channels
are faulty. If an OMCH interruption
occurs whereas services are normal, the
automatic configuration data rollback
function will not be triggered.

6.2.4.3 Precautions
After the system successfully triggers the automatic configuration data rollback function, the
base station will reset, during which services are temporarily interrupted.

Using the CME to Perform Batch Configuration


Batch reconfiguration using the CME is the recommended method to deactivate a feature.
This method reconfigures all data, except neighbor relationships. Using this method to
deactivate a feature is the same as to activate a feature. For details, see Using the CME to
Perform Batch Configuration for Existing Base Stations. Set the parameter, as shown in Table
6-1.

TLFRS TLFRS SET None None Meaning: Indicates whether to enable the function of
WITCH WITCH TLFRS clearing faults on a transmission link. If this parameter
WITCH is set to ENABLE, a BS attempts to clear a fault by
LST means of automatic reset when the BS cannot be
TLFRS maintained (OMCH of the BS is disconnected) and
WITCH service interruption duration reaches 30 minutes. If
the fault fails to be cleared, the BS attempts to clear
the fault again in the same way when the service
interruption duration reaches 480 minutes. If the fault
fails to be cleared after the two resets, the BS stops
performing automatic reset. The service interruption
duration at which the BS automatically resets has
fixed values (30 minutes and 480 minutes) and is not
configurable.
