Add a Device Cluster Network Function

Pre-requisite: If you are not using the default Home group to add a device cluster NF, you must specify a device group. See the Configure Device Groups section in the Device Manager chapter for more information.

1. Expand the Device Manager slider and click Devices.
2. In the Managed Devices - Group View pane, click Add.
3. In the Select Network Function Type dialog box click the SD row from the Categories table to select the Session Delivery (SD) element manager (EM) plugin product vendor type.

   Note:

   Other EM plugin product vendor types may also display in this table if they are installed in Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager.
4. In the Network Function Type drop-down list, select the Device Cluster NF type and click Continue.
5. In the Add Network Function: Device Cluster dialog box, complete the following fields:

   Name	Description
   Network Function Name field	The Network Function (NF) name that you want to use for the component device(s) that you are configuring. For example, msgNF.
   Description	The description of the NF. For example, "There is only one scalability group, which might contain eight MSG devices."
   Component Type drop-down list	Select one of the following NF component types that you want to configure. Note: Only devices that match the chosen component type can be added to the device cluster NF. For example, the Session Delivery (SD) product plugin has the following component types: SBC—Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. SR—Oracle Communications Session Router. SLB—Oracle Communications Session Load Balancer. CSM—Oracle Communications Core Session Manager. SLRM—Subscriber-aware load balancing and route management (SLRM) mechanisms. MSG— Oracle Communications Mobile Security Gateway (MSG).
   Device Cluster Name field	The name of the device cluster group in this NF. For example: msgCluster
   Redundancy Type drop-down list	Select the device cluster redundancy type: HA—The cluster has high avalability (HA) capability. STANDALONE—The cluster is standalone and does not have HA capability.

6. Click Apply.
   The NF now appears in the Managed Devices pane.

Associate the device cluster with its offline configuration.
