Resource Domains

A Resource Domain allows Server Groups to be grouped together and associated with a type of application resource. Each Resource Domain has a Profile that indicates the application usage of the resource domain. The PCA application defines three Resource Domain Profiles: Policy Session, Policy Binding, and Policy and Charging DRA.

Once SBR Server Groups are configured to host the session and binding databases, those Server Groups can be added to Policy Binding and Policy Session Resource Domains. An SBR Server Group must be associated with either a Policy Session or Policy Binding Resource Domain.

DA-MP servers are configured in a single server group per PCA DSR with a server group function of DSR (multi-active cluster). For a mated pair deployment, the two DSR (multi-active cluster) server groups containing all of the DA-MPs at the two sites must be included in a PCA Resource Domain. For a non-mated deployment, the DSR (multi-active cluster) server group must be in its own P and Charging DRA Resource Domain. For a mated triplet deployment, the three DSR (multi-active cluster) server groups containing all of the DA-MPs at the three sites must be included in a Policy and Charging DRA Resource Domain.
