5.6.2 Active NOAM VIP: Add New Network Element

Perform this procedure only if you want to add a new network element at this time.

If a new network element is to be added, start this procedure now. The addition of the new network element requires a separate maintenance window. The servers in the new network element must be installed with the same DSR release as that of the upgraded NOAMs. Follow the release specific installation procedures from DSR Cloud Installation Guide to install the software on the new servers and add the new network element under the existing NOAMs.

Skip the sections of the installation procedure related to installing and configuring the NOAMs. This adds a new DSR SOAM site under the existing NOAMs.
