Regular Operations
Note You can use new as the source configuration only when there is no existing, active set of
provisioning data in the configuration library. Therefore, you cannot use new as the source
configuration once a provisioning session has been saved and activated by using prov-cpy or
prov-dply. After you have saved and activated a set of data, you must use either active or the
name of the set of provisioning data as the source configuration.
Note If you do not know the name of your current configuration session, you can use the
CONFIG-LIB viewer in the MGC toolbar to determine that name. For more information on the
CONFIG-LIB viewer, proceed to the “Using the Config-Lib Viewer” section on page 3-127.
• mod_ver—New configuration version name that contains your provisioning changes.
For example, to use a configuration version called ver1 as the basis for a version that you want to call
ver2, enter the following command:
prov-sta::srcver=”ver1”,dstver=”ver2”
Once a provisioning session is underway, you may use the prov-add, prov-ed, or prov-dlt MML
commands to add, modify, and delete components on your system. To add components to your system,
see Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8 Provisioning Guide. To modify or delete components on
your system, see the “Invoking Dynamic Reconfiguration” section on page 3-66.
There are two ways to close your provisioning session: save and activate your provisioning changes or
end your provisioning session without saving and activating your changes. For more information on
saving and activating your provisioning changes, see the “Saving and Activating your Provisioning
Changes” section on page 3-65. For more information on ending your provisioning session without
saving and activating your changes, see the “Ending a Provisioning Session Without Activating your
Changes” section on page 3-66.
Saving and Activating your Provisioning Changes
When you have completed making provisioning changes in your session, you must enter a command to
save and activate your changes. There are two different provisioning MML commands that save and
activate changes: prov-cpy and prov-dply.
Caution Using the prov-cpy and prov-dply MML commands can severely impact your system call processing
performance, depending on the extent of your provisioning changes. Enter these commands only during
a maintenance window when traffic is minimal.
The prov-cpy MML command saves and activates your changes on the active
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. Typically, this command is used to save and activate changes on a
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch in a simplex configuration. However, you can use the prov-cpy MML
command on Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitches in high-availability or continuous-service configurations,
to save and activate your changes on the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. If you use prov-cpy, you
should enter the prov-sync MML command immediately afterwards to save and activate your changes
on the standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch.
