2.3.3 Operations and Provisioning

Operations and Provisioning of the DSR can be accomplished through one of the ten GUI sessions that are made available to the user through internal web server(s). Through the GUI, the User is able to make all operations and provisioning changes to the DSR, including:

  • Network Information (does not include switch configuration)
  • Network Element
  • Servers
  • Routing and Configuration Databases
  • Status and Manage for:
    • Network Elements
    • Servers
    • Replication
    • Collection
    • High Availability
    • Database
    • KPIs
    • Processes
    • Files

Network Information

The network information defines the network name, the layout or shape of the network elements and their components. It defines the interlinking and the intercommunicating of the components. The network information represents all server relationships within the application. The server relationships are then used to control data replication, data collection, and define high availability relationships. Switch configuration is not defined by the network information.

Network Elements

The DSR application is a collection of servers linked by standardized interfaces. Network Elements (NE) are containers that group and create relationships among servers in the network. A network element can contain multiple servers but a single server is part of only one network element. The DSR solution is comprised of a Network OAMP network element, at least one signaling node, and an optional database provisioning node (SDS).
