The busyout and release commands

Last Updated : Aug 22, 2016 |

The busyout command puts the object of the command in the maintenance-busy state. In the busyout state:

  • The system removes the object from the active service, and the object is unavailable for call processing.

  • The system drops the services that depend on the busied-out component. If the component supports a link, the system drops the link too.

  • No scheduled or periodic background tests run on the object . Demand maintenance tests can be run on the object, but some tests require that the object be released to complete.

  • The system logs a warning alarm with error type 18 for each busied-out object.

  • To prevent the busyout of a particular bus, you must move dedicated tone time slots to the other half of the duplicated bus.

The release command releases the maintenance object from the maintenance busyout server and puts the server back into service. If you run the release command on an object that is not busied out, the command stops.
