2 Overview

Oracle Communications Subscriber Database Server (SDS) provides the central provisioning of the Full-Address Based Resolution (FABR) data. The SDS, which is deployed geo-redundantly at a Primary and Disaster Recovery site, connects with the Query server and the Data Processor Site Operation Administration and Maintenance (DP SOAM) servers at each diameter routing site or a standalone DP site to replicate and recover provisioned data to the associated components.

This section provides information about SDS Migration from release 8.6.x BM to 9.0.1 VM and later.

You can migrate SDS from release 8.6.x BM to 9.0.1 VM and later using following methods:

• Method 1: By reusing the existing hardware and IP addresses of NOAM, SOAM, Query Server (QS), and DP. Using this method, you can shut down the SDS 8.6.x applications on BM and deploy them on VM using existing IP addresses.
• Method 2: By reusing the existing hardware and new IP addresses of NOAM, SOAM, QS, and DP. Using this method, you can shut down the SDS 8.6.x applications on BM and deploy them on VM using new IP addresses.
• Method 3: By using new hardware and the new IP addresses of NOAM, SOAM, QS, and DP. Using this method, you can shut down the SDS 8.6.x applications on BM and deploy new NOAM, SOAM, QS, and DP, on VM using existing IP addresses.

Note:

From SDS 9.0.1 and later, there is no support for the BM environment. Therefore, to upgrade from SDS 8.6.x to SDS 9.0.1, you must perform the migration process outlined in this document.
