I upgraded from one BSC to another for example a BSC-5000 to a BSC-5200. Can I restore
the configuration from the BSC-5000 to the BSC-5200?
Yes. On the BSC-5000 for example go to maintenance>configuration backup/restore and backup
your configuration. Then on the BSC-5200 for example go to
maintenance>configuration>backup/restore and restore the configuration that you previously
backed up from the BSC-5000. You can restore a configuration from any BSC model to any
BSC model as long as the BSC that you are restoring to is running the same or newer software
release. You cannot restore a configuration from a newer software release to an older software
release. If you are running version 5.2 or prior, you must upgrade to 5.3.2.6 first to adjust the
configuration file before restoring it to a BSC running 6.x.
Maintenance access required to proceed to License Agreement Error Message on BSC
If you are upgrading to version 6.X and are currently running version 5.2 or prior, you must
upgrade to 5.3.2.6 first. If you attempt to upgrade directly to 6.X from 5.2 or prior you may
receive the following error when accessing the web based administration console after the
upgrade:
"Maintenance access required to proceed to License Agreement".
To recover from this error you will need to connect to the serial console port using a 9 pin null
modem serial cable and a terminal emulation program (9600, 8, none, 1, none). The serial
console password is wg1000s. Choose the option for switch followed by a reboot to switch back
to the partition running 5.2 or prior. Then upgrade to 5.3.2.6 before upgrading to 6.X.
My BSC-2100/2200/3200/5200 will not boot. There is no access to the secure web based
administrative console or the serial port console menu. How can I recover the BSC?
Serial port boot interrupt/manual switch of partitions (BSC-2100/2200/3200/5200)
Introduction
This document explains how to perform a serial port boot interrupt to manually switch to the
alternate partition when there is no access to the secure web based administrative console or the
serial port console menu. This process is typically used for recovery of a BSC-
2100/2200/3200/5200 that will not complete a boot of the active partition. If you can
successfully boot to the alternate partition you can then perform an upgrade. The upgrade is
applied to the alternate partition so it will repair the original partition. For further info on
upgrades see BSC software upgrade documentation.
