Description
eNodeB health checks are divided into categories and are split into various check points that are
autonomous to each other yet a part of a complete eNB health check. By executing these health check
items, a fault point can be located in the eNB and re-directed to the correct systems care taker. Most of the
health checks in this document are read-only and do not impact performance of the node, with the
exception of eNB restart which requires permission from node owners, managers etc. The page covers
health checks regarding eNB H/W, S/W, features, power related parameters, transport network (MMS, SGW)
connectivity, IP interface states, degraded managed objects, EUTRANCELL settings, EUTRANRelation
settings, comparing parameters, node performance stats and synch status.

Actions
Software, Configuration Version and Upgrade Package
status:

Check upgrade package:

 eNb> pr upgrade
Check SW and CV:
 eNb> cvcu
Check status of all loaded modules (LM) on MP:
 eNb> lh mp sma -all

Print RF (Antenna) ports configuration and status:

  eNb> st rfport
Print RI (CPRI) ports configuration and status:
 eNb> st riport
Print Antenna configuration:
 eNb> lpr antennaunitgroup
Print all installed RU and configuration and status:
 eNb> cabx

Check following eNB power parameters:

 partOfRadioPower
 confOutputPower
 maximumTransmissionPower
Check the VSWR values:
 eNb> lh ru fui get vswr

Licenses and Feature activation:

Print an inventory of the node, including a summary of licenses installed:

 eNb> inv

 eNb> license key

Node health check action:

Run the action startHealthCheck on MO ManagedElement

Using MoShell:
 eNb> acc 0 startHealthCheck
 eNb> get 0 healthCheckResult
Alarms will be generated if a fault is found, see the alarms in CPI:
 File System Diagnostic Error
 Configuration Version Corrupt
 Upgrade Package Corrupt

Description on alarms can be found in the Fault Management documents in the CPI store.

Node Attributes:

Node specific settings on attributes can be found in the Site Engineering document in CPI store.

EnodeBFunction settings:
 eNb> get enodebfunction
Check towards Site Engineering doc:

 >>> 2.mnc = <value>

>>> 3.mncLength = <value>

Availability of devices, cells and interfaces:

 eNb> st ru|dev|eutrancell|sector|termPointToMme|termPointToEnb
Operational cells should be UNLOCKED and ENABLED.
Operational S1 (termPointToMme) connections should be UNLOCKED and ENABLED.
Operational X2 (termPointToEnb) connections should be UNLOCKED and ENABLED.

Compare eNB parameters with working eNB:

dump the kget file from eNB:

 eNb> l+ <filename>
 eNb> kget all
 eNb> l-
Kget file will be stored in the location of current directory.
Compare two eNB parameters
Take kget dump from eNB1, call it “kget_eNB1.log”
Moshell into eNB2
 eNb> diff . Kget_eNB1.log

Node Performance:

COLI command getstat to provide dynamic internal peg counter information. Indications on counters related
to ERAB setup, RRCConnectionSetup S1InitialContextSetup etc.
 eNb> getstat
A higher portion of RRCConnSetupAttemt vs low values on S1InitialContextSetupRequest,
S1InitialContextSetupResponse and S1InitialUeMessage can indicate problem on the S1 interface towards
the MME.
Refer to GETSTAT

Trace and Error

List all non-default trace conditions in all boards of the node

 eNb> lh all fte s
Refer to Trace and Error and HiCap.

Logfiles:

Refer to Logs for more information about different logs.

Alarms

To check for active alarms, run:

 eNb> al
For a history of alarms, run:
 eNb> lga
Refer to COLI Quick Reference for more options.

Collection of logfiles

Fetch data for TRs/CSRs, according to the Data Collection Guidelines we use the DCG command.
Check LTE Data Collection Guideline for more information.

Hanging UE Context:

Check number of UE Contexts and bearers in the RAC:

$ ue print -admitted

CellId #UE:s #Bearers

4 3 5

First column gives cellid. Second column shows number of UEs in the cell. Third column shows number of
DRBs in the cell. You should expect to see between DRBs between 2-4 DRBs for each UE.
Check number of UE Contexts in the BB:
moshell> mtd debug -ta bbUeMeBl -fun BBUEME_DEBUG_admittedUesInBBM()
-dest RTS_WAIT

Ok SessId[23]

[0x9C1A714] BBUEME_DEBUG_cellContextS
 [0x9C1A714] U32 cellId1 = 3

[0x9C1A718] S16 noOfUesInCell1 = 5

[0x9C1A71A] S16 noOfRadioBearersInCell1 = 25

[0x9C1A71C] U32 cellId2 = 2

[0x9C1A720] S16 noOfUesInCell2 = 3

[0x9C1A722] S16 noOfRadioBearersInCell2 = 14

[0x9C1A724] U32 cellId3 = 1

[0x9C1A728] S16 noOfUesInCell3 = 6

[0x9C1A72A] S16 noOfRadioBearersInCell3 = 25

[0x9C1A72C] S16 noOfUesInBBM = 14

[0x9C1A72E] S16 noOfRadioBearersInBBM = 64

Unlike number of RBs in RAC printout, noOfRadioBearersInCell1 printouts includes SRB0 and SRB1 + DRBs
for each UE.
If you have very large number of UEs that are not being released or a very big discrepancy between number
of UEs and DRBs then you should suspect hanging UE Context in either RAC or BB.
