Step 1: Setting Up Server-C

Before you begin, be sure to have the required information available for reference. See About Planning the Topology.

CAUTION: This procedure interrupts service.

To prepare Server-C for addition to a georedundant secondary site:

  1. Using the Platform Management & Configuration (PMAC) utility, install the MPE application software on Server-C.

    For more information, refer to the relevant chapter of Oracle Communications Policy Management Bare Metal Installation Guide. If you have problems or questions, contact My Oracle Support for assistance.

  2. Using the Platform Configuration (platcfg) utility, provision Server-C with the following configuration information:
    1. Host Name
    2. OAM Real IP Address
    3. OAM Default Route
    4. NTP Server
    5. DNS Server A
    6. DNS Server B (optional)
    7. DNS Search
    8. Device

    For more information, refer to Platform Configuration User's Guide.

  3. For Oracle X5-2 platforms, configure the following:
    1. OAM VLAN ID
    2. SIG A VLAN ID
    3. SIG B VLAN ID (optional)
    4. SIG C VLAN ID (optional)
  4. Using the Platform Configuration utility, export routing configuration information from Server-A or Server-B and import it into Server-C.
Server-C is ready to be added to the secondary site.
