  this publication.

USB synchronization with TNC or TSC cards fails when the USB has
the 9.8 package in either its active or protect volume and when the
TNC or TSC card is inserted as a standalone card in the
chassis.

Scenario 1:

The USB has the 9.8 package in its active volume and any other
package in its protect volume. The TNC or TSC card, having a
package earlier than version 9.8, is loaded on the Cisco ONS 15454
M2 or Cisco ONS 15454 M6 chassis as a standalone card. The USB acts
as the master and pushes the 9.8 package from its active volume on
the TNC or TSC card. Despite several attempts, the package copy
operation fails.

Workarounds:

Limitations of USB Synchronization with TNC or TSC Cards
USB synchronization with TNC or TSC cards fails when the USB has the 9.8 package in either its active or protect volume and when the TNC or TSC card is inserted as a standalone card in the chassis.
Scenario 1: The USB has the 9.8 package in its active volume and any other package in its protect volume The TNC or TSC card having a package earlier than version 9.8, is loaded on the Cisco ONS 15454 M2 or Cisco ONS 15454 M6 chassis as a standalone card. The USB acts as the master and pushes the 9.8 package from its active volume on the TNC or TSC card. Despite several attempts, the package copy operation fails.
Scenario 2: The USB has any package earlier than version 9.8 in its active volume and the 9.8 package in its protect volume. The TNC or TSC card having a package earlier than version 9.8, is loaded on the ONS 15454 M2 or ONS 15454 M6 chassis as a standalone card. The USB acts as the master and pushes the package from its active volume on the TNC or TSC card. The card copies the package and resets. When the card boots up after reset, the USB pushes the 9.8 package from its protect volume on the TNC or TSC card. Despite several attempts, the package copy operation fails.
Workarounds:
· For release 9.3 and later releases, use TNC-E or TSC-E cards.
· For scenario 1, ensure that the TNC or TSC card has version 9.8 as the active package.
· For scenario 2, ensure that the protect and the active volumes of USB are the same.

Procedure

Step 1 Step 2
Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6

Before you modify the CD value of the TDC-CC or TDC-FC card, run the APC. To run the APC, complete the “DLP-G430 Run Automatic Power Control” task in the Manage the Node document.

Modify the CD value for the TDC-CC or TDC-FC Card. To modify the CD value, Complete the “DLP-G545 Modify the Chromatic Dispersion Value for the TDC-CC and TDC-FC Cards” task in the chapter “Change DWDM Card Settings” of the Cisco NCS 2002 and NCS 2006 Network Configuration Guide or Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Network Configuration Guide.

Note

Do not change the compensation value directly in one instance. In order to avoid traffic drops

and alarms, it is required to change the CD value in steps not too large. For example, if you want

to change the CD value of a TDC-CC from -880 to -1320 ps/nm, do not change the CD value in

a single step, but in a couple of steps. Change the CD value to an intermediate value of -1100

ps/nm and then to -1320 ps/nm. Change the CD value of the TDC-CC by steps no larger than

330 ps/nm and the CD value of the TDC-FC by steps no larger than 270 ps/nm. This approach

of changing the CD value avoids misleading alarms and traffic drops.

Run the APC. To run the APC, complete the “DLP-G430 Run Automatic Power Control” task in the Manage the Node document. If the APC correction skipped alarm appears, then force the APC correction. Do the following: a) Click the alarmed port. b) Click the Maintenance tab. c) Click the Force APC correction button.
Repeat Step 2, on page 39 and Step 4, on page 39 until the CD target value is set. Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
