Q: How to activate a new config or parameters?

A:  

- Normal / supported way (via Rapid.Space Panel)

The recommended way is to use the Rapid.Space Panel:

Open How To Manage Your BBU and RU on the Rapid.Space Panel and follow the steps to modify your parameters from the panel.

After you save your changes, the device will automatically reload and apply the new configuration within about 5 minutes.

Keep an eye on the Monitor app to ensure you did not set any invalid/illegal values (alarms or errors will show up there).

- Experimental way (root + Jinja templates)

Dangerous / unsupported for production
Only do this if you have root access, know what you’re doing, and can restore a working state.

If you are experimenting by editing Jinja templates directly (see Which directory should we change the config and asn files to?):

Edit the relevant Jinja template(s) in the appropriate slappartX.

Then run, on the server:

slapos node instance --only slappartX

where slappartX is the slappart of the eNB or the MME.

Wait until the command finishes successfully.

If it fails, it usually means there is an error in your Jinja template.

Check the logs to find the reason:

less /srv/slapgrid/slappartX/var/log/enb-info.log
less /srv/slapgrid/slappartX/var/log/mme-info.log

To restart: 

slapos node restart all

Changing templates directly is risky: a bad edit can break your instance. Only proceed if you are confident you can revert to a known-good configuration.
