Procedure 6.26: VERIFY SOFTWARE BACKUP DISK
OVERVIEW
WARNING:
This procedure could abort if the 5ESS
®
-2000 switch contains a software update in the temporary
state. This would be due to differences between the incore version and the disk version created by a
temporary software update. Please check [master control center (MCC) Page 1960] before continuing
with this procedure.
This procedure allows the craft to use the automated VFYTXT process to verify that a recently made software
backup disk will boot the office.
The words ``recently made'' used previously mean that the copy of text on the software backup disk is at the same
software update level as the
5ESS
®
-2000 switch. If this is not true, this verification procedure will not work and must
not be used.
The software backup disk verification procedure accomplishes the following tasks:

Makes the disk off-line

Runs the compare disk to core commands

Runs the verify file commands

Makes the disk OOS

Restores the disk.
NOTE 1: If VFYTXT is run from the MCC or STLWS, the craft may escape to enter commands or pokes
by operating the
CMD
key. However, the VFYTXT process will continue to run and update the screen. Any
commands or pokes that update the screen will overlap with the VFYTXT updates of the screen.
To return to VFYTXT:

Enter Poke
120
for the messages page.

Operate the CMD key (causing an NG response).

Request a craft input to refresh the VFYTXT screen.

Continue with VFYTXT normally.
NOTE 2: If VFYTXT gets hung, the craft can force an abort by entering VFYTXT from another terminal and
following the instructions on the screen to force the first terminal process to abort.
PROCEDURE
1. To start up VFYTXT, enter Poke
193
on STLWS terminal (or MCC only if necessary), or
type and enter on RC/V terminal:
RCV:MENU:VFYTXT;
Response on terminal:
