Ericsson BB 6631 (5G NSA) - NR ARFCN Change Issue and Persistence

Hi Experts.

I have an Ericsson BB 6631 with 5G NSA, and I want to change the NR ARFCN. However, when I modify the NRFrequency (along with all relevant links), the NR Signal Frequency Reference and other parameters revert to the old ARFCN after either locking/unlocking the TermPointToGNB or restarting the BB.

Is there a proper way to achieve this, similar to the changeFrequency action in LTE?

Did you save and make startable a CV/BackUp after applying the changes and before restarting the BB?

Yes, I did.

Is there a way to compare MOMs between CVs? Upon restarting (or locking/unlocking the TermPointToGNB), the gUtranSyncSignalFrequencyRef within ExternalGUtranCell reverts to the existing GUtranSyncSignalFrequency - even if I’ve deleted it!

It’s quite odd, as if something hidden is forcing it.

Could it be that when the X2 link between the eNodeB and gNodeB comes up, it still references the old NR frequency?

Hello @BB_UK . There is no way to compare CVs directly on Baseband as it was in Gen1 nodes (by dbd cv1 cv2 command). You need to restore node from CVs which you need to compare, collect dcgk in restored configurations and then compare collected dumps by diff command.
