49 Add New SOAM Profile on Existing VM

Note:

The procedures in this appendix can be run only after the SDS has been upgraded to release 8.0/8.1 and the upgrade has been accepted.

Note:

Updating the SOAM VM profile is an independent procedure from the SDS upgrade and should be scheduled in a separate maintenance window.

This appendix updates the SOAM VM profile to support 1 billion subscribers. This appendix applies only to systems that have been upgraded to release 8.0/8.1. The upgrade must be accepted before initiating these procedures. The SOAM VMs are updated with the new profile using the following sequence:

1. Add the SDS 8.6 ISO to the PMAC repository
2. Remove the SOAM from the SOAM server group
3. Delete the existing SOAM VM and recreate the SOAM VM with the new profile
4. Add the new SOAM VM to the SOAM server group

To access the 1 billion subscriber VM profile, the SDS 8.6 ISO must be available in the PMAC software repository. Following procedure copies the SDS 8.6 ISO from the SDS to the PMAC and adds the image to the repository.
