A network management server with TPD and TOE installed acts as a Virtual Host environment and hosts the Product Management and Configuration (PMAC, also known as PM&C) application.
The PMAC application, configured on Policy Management devices during initial system installation, provides system-level management functions at specific sites. The PMAC application supports platform-related maintenance, software installation, provisioning, and upgrade activities. PMAC uses an internal control network (IntCtrl) with internal, non-routable addresses. The PMAC application is independent of the Oracle Communications Policy Management system.
See the Oracle Communications Tekelec Platform PMAC documents PM&C Incremental Upgrade and PM&C Disaster Recovery for additional information.
See the Oracle Communications Policy Management documents Bare Metal Installation Guide and Platform Configuration User's Guide for additional information specific to Policy Management.
