Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco provides Cisco.com as a starting point for all technical assistance. Customers and partners can obtain online documentation, troubleshooting tips, and sample configurations from online tools by using the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) Web Site. Cisco.com registered users have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco.com
Cisco.com is the foundation of a suite of interactive, networked services that provides immediate, open access to Cisco information, networking solutions, services, programs, and resources at any time, from anywhere in the world.
Cisco.com is a highly integrated Internet application and a powerful, easy-to-use tool that provides a broad range of features and services to help you with these tasks:
Streamline business processes and improve productivity
Resolve technical issues with online support
Download and test software packages
Order Cisco learning materials and merchandise
Register for online skill assessment, training, and certification programs
If you want to obtain customized information and service, you can self-register on Cisco.com. To access Cisco.com, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/
Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC WebSite and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC WebSite.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.

Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Solaris OS Install/Upgrade procedure for Solaris 10 Version 0910-V01
Page 3 of 62
1. Overview
A BTS10200 host machine must have the BTS version of the Solaris image installed on it prior to installing BTS10200 software. Also, when upgrading the BTS10200 software, it may be necessary to first upgrade the Solaris OS image on the machine. This document describes the procedures used to
a) Install the Solaris 10 (0910) image on a BTS10200 host machine, and
b) Upgrade the Solaris 10 image on a BTS host machine to the (0910) version.
This document is intended for those responsible for installing the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch.
This procedure uses a two CD set – the Install-Core CD and the Install-Finish CD. Their versions are:
Install-Core CD Version #: Solaris!Sun!sparc!10!0!0910!V01
Install-Finish CD Version #: Solaris!Sun!sparc!10!0!0910!BTS01
Supported Hardware and Firmware
The following host machines are supported by this Solaris OS image (please note that all of these may not be supported by specific BTS releases). The minimum disk size required for an installation is 36 gigs. Each supported hardware type has a minimum firmware version level required for correct performance. The operator must check for the correct firmware version and perform a firmware upgrade if necessary prior to OS installation/upgrade.
The system firmware version can be obtained by executing the following Solaris command on ILOM (On a T5220 if the ILOM prompt appears)
-> show /HOST
(Find values of following fields in listed details)
obp_version
sysfw_version
For OBP version execute following command:
# prtconf –V
Hardware Compatibility and Recommended Firmware Version
§ Sun Fire T5220 OBP 4.27.1 FW Version 7.0.9 (or higher)
§ Netra 1280 OBP 5.20.6 FW Version 5.20.6 (or higher)
§ Sun Fire T2000 OBP 6.5.11 FW Version 6.5.11 (or higher)
2. Precautions
CAUTION: These procedures should not be performed while the host machine is handling live traffic. All BTS networks elements (CA, FS, EMS, BDMS) must be brought down on the host machine prior to executing this procedure for both new OS installs or for OS upgrades. A new OS install will also delete all existing software and data from the machine. Do not run these procedures on an active system that is carrying live traffic. If you have questions, contact Cisco TAC.
There is no backing out once these procedures are started.
Data backup before OS Install.
If data is present, perform a data backup using the applicable procedure in the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Operations Manual before you start this procedure. If you are reinstalling an existing CiscoBTS10200 Softswitch software version following this jumpstart, you can restore the CiscoBTS10200 Softswitch data that was previously backed up. Follow the procedure in the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Operations Manual. If you are installing a new software version following this jumpstart, data previously backed up will become obsolete and cannot be restored on the new software. Data must be re-provisioned. You can restore data backups performed after the software installation in the usual manner.
Full system backup before OS Upgrade
Perform a full system backup using one of the following two options.
a) A disk mirroring approach as described in the Backup and Restore procedure using the mirrored disk approach-Option2 document.
b) A flash archive approach as outlined in the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Operations Manual (Performing Full System Backup).
We recommend that you back up data that has been restored or re-provisioned following software installation.
A user experienced in basic UNIX commands should perform this procedure.
The prerequisite checklist should be completed prior to starting the procedure.
