1   Introduction

This instruction concerns alarm handling for the Licensing, Capacity Usage Threshold Reached, Warning alarm.

1.1   Alarm Description

This alarm is raised when the number of reserved capacity in a capacity license approaches the Warning threshold. The default value of the Warning threshold is 80% of the licensedCapacityLimit parameter.

The alarm is issued in the following situations:

• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the HLR Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the HSS-IMS Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the HSS-EPC Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the AUC Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the Small Generic Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the Medium Generic Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the Large Generic Profile.
• The capacity usage has reached the Warning threshold for the IoT Profile.

The possible alarm causes and the corresponding fault reasons, fault locations, and impacts are described in Table 1.

Table 1    Alarm Causes

Alarm Cause	Description	Fault Reason	Fault Location	Impact
The Warning threshold of the capacity profile has been passed.	The capacity usage threshold has been reached.	The requested capacity has passed the Warning threshold defined in the capacity license.	License Manager	Potential violation of license agreements, if the number of reserved capacity continues to increase and reaches the limit.

The alarm attributes are listed and explained in Table 2.
