Chapter 1 Maintenance Overview
Figure 1-1 Routine Maintenance Flow
Flow Description
1. Making routine maintenance schedules
Complying with the cycle of each maintenance item, maintenance personnel make
routine maintenance schedules of the next year at the end of this year.
2. Checking routine maintenance items
Maintenance personnel check each routine maintenance item described in this manual
at a proper time.
Note:
It is recommended to check items during non-peak hours, for example, 02:00 to 06:00.
3. Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs, maintenance personnel take different measures based on symptom

severity and urgency by the following troubleshooting steps:
1-3

a. If the fault affects services. For example, some services cannot be implemented,
handle the fault immediately because it is urgent and critical.
b. If the fault affects operation and maintenance rather than services. For example,
new service commissioning failures or configuration failures, handle the fault in
accordance with the general troubleshooting flow because it is critical but not
urgent.
c. If some alarms are raised, but services, operation, and maintenance are not
affected, pay attention to the fault, and handle the fault in accordance with the
general troubleshooting flow.
If a fault occurs, maintenance personnel handle the fault in accordance with the general
troubleshooting flow. If the fault persists, contact ZTE technical support. Some typical
troubleshooting methods are described below:
l Causes of a fault may be hard to be identified, or a fault occurs casually.
Maintenance personnel should pay attention to the fault, and troubleshoot the
fault in time.
l For a hardware fault hard to be resolved, contact ZTE technical support for spare
parts for convenience of part replacement.
l For a possible software or data fault, back up the corresponding software or data
before software upgrade and data modification for convenience of data check and
restoration.
1.4 Routine Maintenance Precautions

l Make complete equipment room maintenance rules to regulate maintenance
personnel operations. Keep detailed log books for ease of troubleshooting, including
system operation, versions, data changes, updates, and troubleshooting. Keep shift
record books and clear responsibilities.
l Maintenance personnel must be trained for the position, learn equipment and
related networks, and know basic device operations and emergency treatment
skills. Besides, maintenance personnel must comply with maintenance operations
described in this manual, for example, wearing antistatic wrist straps before operating
equipment hardware to ensure personal safety and device security.
l Record all major operations, such as board switchover, system reset, and software
loading, and confirm operation feasibility before performing operations. Only qualified
operators can perform major operations after backing up data and taking emergency
and security measures.
Back up data before modifying the data. Verify that the device operates properly
during a period of time, for example, one week, and then delete the backup data.
l Network management passwords must be set by levels, managed strictly, and
modified periodically. Besides, the passwords can only be known by maintenance
personnel.
l Do not play games or surf the Internet on terminals. Do not install, run or copy
system-irrelated software on terminals. Do not use terminals for other purposes.

cause of the unexpected performance index change.
3.8 Checking the Server (Solaris) Logs

This procedure describes how to check the logs on the server to find and handle errors
or failures. The commands used to check the system logs are different depending on the
operating system installed on the server.
Steps
1. Use the following commands to check whether error, warning or failure records exist
in messages.
l # more /var/adm/messages|grep error
l # more /var/adm/messages|grep warning
l # more /var/adm/messages|grep fail
2. Use the following commands to check whether error, warning or failure records exist
in Syslog.
l # more /var/log/syslog|grep error
l # more /var/log/syslog|grep warning
l # more /var/log/syslog|grep fail
Result
If an error or failure is found in messages or Syslog, check the operation state of
corresponding hardware or software according to the position where the error or failure
occurs.

3.9 Checking License Management Scale

U31 R22 License files control U31 R22 functions and manage the U31 R22 network scale.
If the network scale is larger than the License management scale, some NEs cannot be
managed.
Steps
1. In the NMS main window, select Help > License Information > Show License. The
License Information window is displayed. Query the License information.
The License information includes the U31 R22 functions and management scale
information. Different configurations are displayed based on different License files.

4.1 Checking the Equipment Room Environment

This procedure describes how to check whether the temperature, humidity, and cabinet in
the equipment room meet the specified requirements.
Steps
1. Check the values of the thermometer and hygrometer.
For the temperature and humidity requirements, refer to the following table.
Temperature Long-term operating condition 5 ºC to 40 ºC
Short-term operating condition -5 ºC to 50 ºC
Relative humidity Long-term operating condition 5% to 85%
Short-term operating condition 5% to 90%
Measure the temperature at a position 1.5 m above the floor and 0.4 m in front of the rack without
front and rear panels.
The short-term operating condition means that the continuous operating period does not exceed 96
hours and the accumulative total period within a year does not exceed 15 days.
If the equipment room temperature does not meet requirements, repair or replace the
air-conditioning system in the equipment room.
If the relative humidity in the equipment room is high, install dehumidification facilities.
if the relative humidity is low, install humidifying facilities.
Verify that there is no sewer pipeline (especially no pipeline connector) passing through
the equipment room.
2. Check the power distribution cabinet, cabinet, shelves, cables, wiring troughs and
other key components.
Fire prevention: All components should be prevented from fire and all fire-fighting
facilities in the equipment room are in good condition.
4-1

Dust prevention: All components should be clean and tidy without apparent dust
attached.
4.2 Checking Log Information

This procedure describes how to query operation logs, security logs, and system log to
learn the NMS operating status. Logs are divided into the following three types:
l Operation log: Records users' operations.
l Security log: Records users' login and logout information.
l System Log: Records timing tasks completion information.
Steps
1. In the NMS main window, select Security > Log Management. The Log
Management window is displayed.
2. Double-click a log type, for example, All System Log, check whether there is
information that occurs frequently, mass error information, and operation failure
information, see Figure 4-1.

4.3 Checking the Remote Maintenance Tool

The remote monitoring software is usually installed on the maintenance terminal so
that maintenance personnel can maintain the U31 R22 client or server remotely. This
procedure aims to check whether the connection to the client or server is available for the
purpose of remote monitoring.
Steps
1. Check whether the remote maintenance software has been installed on the
maintenance terminal of the U31 R22, such as teamviewer or VNC. Check whether
the maintenance personnel can log in to the remote client or server
2. Check whether the special line is available in the equipment room for remote
maintenance.
