5.2 Activation Procedures

This section provides the detailed procedure steps of the feature activation execution.

PCA activation can be performed either

• after all NOAM and SOAM servers are installed and configured. So if the fresh install is for a DSR system with 3 sites, the NOAMs and the SOAMs for all three sites should be installed and configured before performing PCA activation; or
• install and configure only the NOAMs and SOAMs for the first site and activate PCA using 0, then use 0 to activate PCA on additional sites later.

These procedures are executed inside a maintenance window.

The procedures in this section need to be executed in the following order:

• For PCA activation on the entire network:
  1. For Feature Activation, see Feature Activation
  2. For Restart Process, see Restart Process
  3. For System Health Check After Application Activation on NOAM Server, see System Health Check After Application Activation on NOAM Servers
  4. For System Health Check After Application Activation on SOAM Servers, see System Health Check After Application Activation on SOAM Servers
• For PCA activation on a newly added site:
  1. For PCA Activation on a Newly Added Site, see PCA Activation on a Newly Added Site
  2. For Restart Process, see Restart Process
  3. For System Health Check After Application Activation on NOAM Server, see System Health Check After Application Activation on NOAM Servers
  4. For System Health Check After Application Activation on SOAM Servers, see System Health Check After Application Activation on SOAM Servers
