OAM Network IDIH Configuration
From a high level standpoint, the purpose of OAM with regards to N-IDIH is to configure a list of IDIH application servers that ProTrace uses when retrieving records for a network trace.
Configuration of N-IDIH application servers (sites) in OAM is much more than a list of IP addresses. In addition to the N-IDIH sites configuration, OAM shows the connectivity status to those sites from the local site and the connectivity failure reason (if applicable). OAM also has the ability to push N-IDIH configuration to one or all sites from a management site. Finally, OAM allows for the comparison of the local site's N-IDIH site list with the N-IDIH site list of a remote site.
The default mode after install/upgrade for Site Management is Disabled.
Once Site Management is Enabled, individual sites may be configured. One of the sites is configured to be the Site Manager. The remaining sites are managed sites.
If Site Management is Disabled for a particular site, that site will have no managed sites. If site management changes to Enabled on a site, then the remaining sites are displayed in the Managed N-IDIH Sites panel. In addition, the Latest Data Pushed field indicates a push is needed.
A Site Manager can push its N-IDIH Site List to the sites it is managing. Configure all sites at the site manager. Then push the data to all Managed N-IDIH Sites.
- Select a site to be Site Manager
- Configure all sites in the Site Manager site
- Start the Push Data action from the Managed N-IDIH Sites grid by clicking the X icon under the Push Data column in the Managed N-IDIH Sites grid.
- As a result, all sites in the Manager's N-IDIH Site list contain the same set of sites.
Additionally, the Compare action displays a grid that contains a list of entries if the local site and the selected remote site contain different Application Server Address field values. A dialog box
