Replicating restored data to an SOAM server

When data is restored to the NOAMP, the data must be replicated to one SOAM server in each signaling network element, if the system supports SOAMs.

CAUTION: This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not grant permission to the customer to enact these procedures. All restore procedures shall be performed by Oracle Communications or its authorized representatives.

This procedure describes the process used to replicate restored data to an SOAM server:

Select Status & Manage > Database.

The Database Status page appears.
Locate all standby SOAM servers in the server table.
Click Allow Replication for each of these servers.
Allow Replication displays for servers that are currently inhibited from receiving replicated database updates. This action enables replication for the selected servers. (For servers currently allowed to receive replicated database updates, the word Inhibit Replication displays here instead).
Select Status & Manage > Replication.
The Replication page appears.
Verify that Auto Refresh is turned on.

When the replication audit starts for a specific server, the Replication Status for that server displays Not Replicating, and Replication Channel Status displays Audit.
When the replication audit is complete, Replication Status returns to Replicating and Replication Channel Status returns to Active.
Select Status & Manage > HA.

The HA page appears.
Switch over the high availability state of the standby SOAM servers.
For more information about setting the high availability state, see HA (High Availability).

Replication is restored, and standby SOAM servers are updated with data from the restored backup. See Replicating Restored Data to an MP Server, for information about how to manually turn replication back on for MP servers.
