Setting Up a Georedundant Site

Note: Sites may only be created when Manage Geo-Redundant mode is enabled. See CMP Modes for details.
To set up a georedundant site:
  1. From the Platform Setting section of the navigation pane, select Topology Settings.

    The Cluster Configuration page opens; the initial group is All Clusters.

  2. From the content tree, select All Sites.

    The Site Configuration page opens.

  3. Click Create Site.

    The New Site page opens.

  4. (Required) Enter the Name for the site.

    The name can only contain the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 35 characters.

  5. Enter the number for Max Primary Site Failure Threshold.

    If the number of cluster pair failures reaches this threshold, the system generates a trace log entry and a major alarm. A pair failure is recorded when both servers at a primary site are either out of service or in forced standby. The default value is no threshold.
    Note: You can optionally enter a number up to the total number of servers provisioned at this site.

  6. Select the HW Type from the list.

    The available options are:
    • C-Class (default)
    • C-Class(Segregated Traffic) for a configuration where Signaling and other networks are separated onto physically separate equipment
    • Oacle RMS for a Oracle X5-2 server
    • RMS for a rack-mounted server
    • VM for a virtual machine
    • VM (Automated) for a VM managed by NF Agent

  7. If the hardware type is C-Class, C-Class(Segregated Traffic), or Oracle RMS, configure the General Network settings.

    Virtual LAN (VLAN) IDs are in the range of 1 to 4095.

    1. Enter the OAM VLAN ID.
    2. Enter the SIG-A VLAN ID.
    3. (Optional) Enter the SIG-B VLAN ID.
    4. (Optional) Enter the SIG-C VLAN ID.
  8. If the hardware type is C-Class or C-Class(Segregated Traffic), enter the VLAN ID for the User Defined Network.

    Virtual LAN (VLAN) IDs are in the range of 1 to 4095.

  9. Click Save.
The CMP database saves the site configuration.

To define multiple sites, repeat the procedure starting at step 3.
