Servers are the processing units of the application.
Servers perform various roles within the application. The roles are:
- Network OAM&P (NOAMP) - The NOAMP is one active and
one standby server running the NOAMP application and operating in a high
availability global configuration. It also provides a GUI which is used for
configuration, user administration and the viewing of alarms and measurements.
- System OAM (SOAM) - The SOAM is the combination of an
active and a standby application server running the SOAM application and
operating in a high availability configuration. SOAM also provides a GUI used
for local configuration and viewing alarms and measurements details specific to
components located within the frame (SOAM, MP). The SOAM supports up to 8 MPs.
Note:
SOAM is not an available role in systems that do
not support SOAMs.
- MP - MPs are servers with the application installed and
are configured for MP functionality.
The role you define for a server affects the methods it
uses to communicate with other servers in the network. For more information
about how each interface is used, refer to the Network Installation Guide that
came with the product.
