Parameters

name—Enter the name of the hss-group element. This required entry must follow the Name Format, and it must be unique.

state—Enable or disable the hss-group element.

  • Default: enabled
  • Values: enabled | disabled

origin-host-identifier—Set this to a string for use in constructing a unique Origin Host AVP.

strategy—Select the HSS allocation options for the hss-group. Strategies determine how HSSs will be chosen by this hss-group element.

  • Default: hunt
  • Values:
    • hunt—Selects HSSs in the order in which they are listed. For example, if the first server is online, all traffic is sent to the first server. If the first server is offline, the second server is selected. If the first and second servers are offline, the third server is selected. When the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager detects that a higher priority HSS is back in service, it routes all subsequent traffic to that HSS.
    • roundrobin—Selects each HSS in the order in which they are listed in the dest list, selecting each HSS in turn, one per session. After all HSSs have been used, the first HSS is used again and the cycle continues.
    • failover—Selects the first sever in the list until failure is detected. Subsequent signaling goes to the next server in the list.

hss-configs—Identify the home-subscriber-servers available for use by this hss-group. This list can contain as many home subscriber servers as is necessary. An hss-config list value must correspond to a valid hss-group name in another group or to a valid hostname of a configured home-subscriber-server.

A value you enter here must correspond to a valid group name for a configured home-subscriber-server or a valid hostname or IP address for a configured home-subscriber-server.

hss-group is an element under the session-router path. The full path from the topmost ACLI prompt is: configure terminal, and then session-router, and then session-group.
