2.5.1 MP Growth

The PCA application supports addition of DA-MPs as needed to support Diameter traffic. Each PDRA DA-MP server can support 12,000 MPS when engineered to run at 40% to support site redundancy. If site redundancy is not needed, PCA DA-MPs can be engineered at 80%, thereby supporting 24,000 MPS.

The DSR supports up to 16 DA-MPs per DSR site.

  1. Insert the new Server on the NOAM GUI Main Menu Configuration, and then Servers screen and assign it to a Site place.
  2. Add the Server to the DSR (multi-active cluster) Server Group for the desired Signaling Network Element on the NOAM Main Menu Configuration, and then Server Groups screen.
  3. Restart the Server on the SOAM GUI Main Menu Status & Manage, and then Server screen.
  4. Enable the PCA application on the SOAM GUI Main Menu Diameter, and then Maintenance, and then Applications screen.
