E Scale a Signaling Node

Perform this procedure only if an additional signaling node(s) needs to be deployed to an existing DSR deployment.

Note:

This procedure is only required if additional Signaling Node(s) needs to be deployed to an existing DSR deployment.

Prerequisites:

DSR topology is already deployed and configured as per Software Installation Using HEAT Templates (OpenStack).

1. Create new signaling stack.
   1. Prepare OpenStack templates and environment files for signaling stacksby following instructions in <Procedure 13> for signaling stacks.
   2. Create OpenStack parameter file for signaling stacks by following instructions in <Procedure 15>.

      Note:

      Change the number of signaling node(s) as per the requirement.
   3. Deploy the stacks by following instructions in <Procedure 16>.

      Note:

      New stack is created as part of this procedure.
2. Configure new site in the existing topology.
   • Create a new network element by following <Procedure 25> to define the network for new site being configured.
   • Configure the SOAM servers by following Procedure 26 to create the SOAM servers.
   • Configure the SOAM server group by following Procedure 27 to create SOAM server group.
   • Configure the MP virtual machines by following Procedure 28.
   • Configure the MP server group(s) and profiles by following Procedure 31.
   • Configure the signaling network routes by following Procedure 32.
   • If deployed stack contains IPFE servers, then configure the IPFE by following Procedure 34.

   Note:

   Repeat this procedure if more signaling nodes are required.
