from Huawei command line check

Very useful command, especially when you are preparing and executing upgrade of a
software of Huawei carrier class devices, like NE40E and CX600.

Lets look what can be checked by this command:

<labnario>check ?
hardware-compatibility hardware compatibility
startup Check the version of the resource file
system-software system-software
version check version

I personally use check hardware-compatibility before all planned upgrades. During a

preparation phase of an upgrade, you have to read software release notes, to be sure that all
software and hardware components will be compatible with the new software. You can check
hardware compatibility by the command, instead of searching software documents.

Imagine that youve just uploaded a new software to CFcard of a router. The new software is
v600r006c00spc300.

<labnario>check hardware-compatibility v600r006c00spc300.cc

10 CR57SRU200A5 Compatible NA
11 CR57SFU200C0 Compatible NA
12 FRA200A Compatible NA
13 FRA200A Compatible NA

Its very simple, isnt it?

A second useful command before upgrade:

<labnario>check startup next

Main board:
Check startup software.......ok
Check configuration file.....ok
Check PAF....................ok
Check License................ok
Check Patch..................ok
PAF is fitted with startup software
License is fitted with startup software
Patch is fitted with startup software
Slave board:
Check startup software.......ok
Check configuration file.....ok
Check PAF....................ok
Check License................ok
Check Patch..................ok
PAF is fitted with startup software
License is fitted with startup software
Patch is fitted with startup software
Startup software in slave board is fitted with main board.
By this command we can check whether the next startup software is set properly.

Lets look at the remaining options:

<labnario>check system-software v600r006c00spc300.cc

Info: Prepare to check system software cfcard:/v600r006c00spc300.cc, please wait..........
..........................................................................................
...................
Info: System software CRC check OK!

<labnario>check version cfcard:/v600r006c00spc300.cc

Info: Software version match Ok!

I think these options dont need any explanation.

You have to remember that this command is available from user-view.
