Configuring Policy Binding Database

Adding Policy Binding Database SBRs

  1. Identify 2 servers for each of the Policy Binding Server Groups.
  2. Create each Policy Binding Server Group with two SBR MP servers on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Server Groups page. These servers will use the Active/Standby redundancy model.
  3. Create a PCA Mated Sites Place Association containing the Site Place of this site on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Place Associations page.
  4. Create a Policy Binding Resource Domain that includes all of the Policy Binding Server Groups on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Resource Domains page.
  5. Create a PCA Binding Region Place Association containing the Site Place of this site in NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Place Associations page.

Adding a mated pair PCA deployment

  1. Identify the 2 signaling network elements that will make up the mated pair. The Policy Binding Server Groups should be evenly distributed across these two PCA sites.
  2. Identify 3 servers for each of the Policy Binding Server Groups. Two of the servers for each Server Group will be in one signaling network element (site) and the other will be at the mate signaling network element (site).
  3. Create each Policy Binding Server Group with three SBR MP servers on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Server Groups page. For each Server Group, the server at the mate site is designated as the "Preferred Spare" server. These servers will use the Active/Standby/Spare redundancy model.
  4. Create a PCA Mated Sites Place Association containing the Site Place of this site and the mate site on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configurations > Place Associations page.
  5. Create a Policy Binding Resource Domain that includes all of the Policy Binding Server Groups on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Resource Domains page.
  6. Create a PCA Binding Region Place Association containing the Site Place of this site and the mate site on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Place Associations

Adding a mated triplet PCA deployment

  1. Identify the 3 signaling network elements that will make up the mated triplet. The Policy Binding Server Groups should be evenly distributed across these three PCA sites.
  2. Identify 4 servers for each of the Policy Binding Server Groups. Two of the servers for each Server Group will be in one signaling network element (site) and each of the other two will be at the mate signaling network element (site).
  3. Create each Policy Binding Server Group with four SBR MP servers on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Server Groups page. For each Server Group, the server at the mate sites are designated as the "Preferred Spare" server. These servers will use the Active/Standby/Spare/Spare redundancy model.
  4. Create a PCA Mated Sites Place Association containing the Site Place of this site and the mate site on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configurations > Place Associations page.
  5. Create a Policy Binding Resource Domain that includes all of the Policy Binding Server Groups on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Resource Domains page.
  6. Create a PCA Binding Region Place Association containing the Site Place of this site and the mate site on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration > Place Associations
