Disabled Objects
All disabled objects retain their “disabled” status after a software upgrade 
according to the status recorded in the last 
save translation
 command.
Output
The following is the output from the 
upgrade software
 command and a 
successful simplex upgrade.
Explanations and error recoveries to the above steps follow:
INITIATING SOFTWARE 
UPGRADE: 
The system is upgrading the software.
MEM-CARD CHECKSUM:  If the card-mem checksum fails, the system reboots 
without performing the upgrade. Retry the command with 
another software card-mem.
REPROGRAMMING MTP:  If the MTP programming fails, the Manager I will not be 
functional anymore, meaning that the rest of the upgrade 
(if it occurs) will not be visible and the MTP will not be 
present to monitor the health of the processor. The only 
recovery procedure is to power down and power up the 
system, since the presence of a software card-mem will 
cause a software upgrade.
ERASING MEMORY:  The rest of the memory is being erased.
REPROGRAMMING SPE:  This shows the status of the reprogramming. A total of 7 
Mbytes has to be reprogrammed. If the reprogramming 
fails in the midst of upgrade, it will take the system into 
SPE-down
 mode. In this mode, the system technician can 
only reset the system or display alarms. The system 
should be reset and another upgrade attempted due to 
the detection of a software card-mem in the system.
