The manual contains the following chapters:
LSMS Overview provides a high-level overview of the LSMS hardware and software design for high availability and an overview of software components.
Routine Procedures explains the routine procedures that system administrators regularly perform, such as establishing remote logins, setting the system clock, and managing user accounts.
Preventive Maintenance explains preventive maintenance topics, such as the LSMS preventive maintenance schedule, backup procedures, routine cleaning, and monitoring the hardware and network.
Restarting Software Processes explains how to verify whether software processes are running and how software processes can be automatically or manually restarted.
Managing Server States describes how automatic switchover occurs for certain failure conditions and how to manually manage the states of the primary and secondary servers.
Recovering from Site Failures describes and compares various backup strategies for disaster situations in which an entire LSMS site can no longer function. This chapter describes how to prepare for disaster recovery and, for each disaster recovery strategy, describes the recovery procedures and a list of assumptions.
Verifying Recovery describes the processes used to verify that recovery is acceptable after recovering from site failures.
Commands describes the purpose and syntax for all LSMS commands and provides sample output for each.
Automatic Monitoring of Events describes how the LSMS automatically monitors itself for certain events, including error conditions, and reports those events with graphical user interface (GUI) notifications, Surveillance notifications, and/or traps sent to a remote monitoring device. This appendix lists all events in numerical order and provides explanations and suggested recovery for each event.
Downloading Files from an NPAC to the LSMS contains the prerequisite information and procedure needed for downloading files from Number Portability Administration Centers (NPACs). One example for using this procedure is when all the files for an entire regional database need to be downloaded as part of recovering after a site failure.
Worksheets contains blank worksheets that you can copy and use in the procedures described in other chapters.
Query Server Maintenance Procedures contains detailed, step-by-step procedures for maintaining the Oracle Communications LSMS Query Server (LSMS Query Server).
