reset system 1, 2, 3, 5?

[bross]

I support a G3iV1 Definity. I want to disconnect my 3rd cabinet for a few hours then connect it back but don't want to have to reload my system from Tape. Does one of the reset system x commands just reset the system so that it sees the 3rd cabinet again without having to reboot from the tape. I am change out this system for another and not real confident in the tape cartridge in this old system so don't want to have to load from it again. Anyone with detail description what each of these reset system x, options do?

Thanks!

I'm confused if you're talking cabinet or carrier. If it is an EPN cabinet linked across an expansion interface you should be able to just busy out the expansion interface and go to town (probably make Avaya happy if you disable alarm origination first). I've never taken just one carrier down in a stacked SCC environment but I would imagine that as long as you're not taking the processor down you don't have to worry about reloading from tape. You will have to worry about a bevy of alarms. The I&M manual on the avaya website should tell you what you need. As to what the resets do, go through the threads, I'm sure it's been covered.

Sorry, I didn't explain. I am wanting to do both actually. I want to take carrier C off an existing system stack and connect to a new system stack which already has 2 carriers, A and B, as carrier C. Do all my programming for all the boards in this C carrier, ie announcement, analog, digital.... Then I want to hook this carrier C back up to my old system and all work properly. Next I want to disconnect my other cabinet 02 connected via fiber to my expansion interface from my old system and connect to my new system and program all those ports. Then connect it back to my old system. I am wanting to do all this without rebooting my old system. I don't care about the alarms, as long as everthing comes back available afterwards. I will then save trans on my new system and do more testing before changing over my old for the new.

Thanks.

I'm lost! Your unhooking carriers and PN's temporarily from a working existing system to temporarily hook them to a new system, only to then reconnect them to the old system? The only thing I can think of is that you're trying to do some programming ahead of time while for swapping some equipment out at a later date. I'm having a hard time understanding your logic being doing this, but that aside, you should be able to do all of your programming without moving any hardware. Just do a "change cabinet X" on the new system and identify a "port-carrier" in position C. Then "change circuit-packs X" to add all of the circuit-pack types into the positions of the C carrier where you plan to have them. You'll then be able to add stations, trunks, announcements, etc without the cards or carrier actually attached.

I think you will find you bring the whole system down.
The cabinets are linked and the c carrier will have a terminator in it. If you are familier with how scsi drives
are chained and require terminators, its the same type setup.

I didn't know I could put in fake packs. Yes, I was just trying to get everything programmed before changing out equipment. That worked great. Actually, I couldn't do a "change cabinet" command. I guess my version does not have that, but doing the "change circuit-pack x" worked great. Thanks again for the advise!!!
