Chapter 12 Maintenance
Reverting to an Earlier Software Load
Warning
Working and protect XTCs must have the same version of the protect software load in order to
revert to an earlier software load.
Tip
The revert feature is useful if a maintenance window closes while you are upgrading CTC software.
You can revert to the standby software load without losing traffic. When the next maintenance
window opens, complete the upgrade and activate the new software load.
Note
A revert to a maintenance release software load does not restore the database and no provisioning is
lost. All other reverts do restore the database. (A maintenance release has a three-digit release
number, e.g., 2.2.2).
Note
Circuits created and provisioning performed after a software load is activated will not reinstate with
a revert. The database configuration at the time of activation is reinstated after a revert. This note
does not apply to maintenance reverts (e.g., 2.2.2 to 2.2.1).
Procedure: Revert to an Earlier Software Load
Step 1
Log into the node where you want to perform the revert.
Step 2
Record the IP address of that node.
Step 3

tabs.
Step 9
Click
Revert
.
The Revert button activates the protect software load. The ONS15327 node reboots and loses its
connection to the CTC.
Step 10
Wait until the software upgrade finishes. This may take as long as 30 minutes.
Step 11
Completely close the browser.
Step 12
Restart the browser and log back into the node using the IP address you recorded in Step 2.
The browser downloads the CTC applet for the standby software load.
