2 Procedure

Steps

Do the following:

  1. Check if the COM SA, AMF SI Unassigned alarm is raised for the LM. If the alarm is raised, then follow the procedure in COM SA, AMF SI Unassigned. After that, proceed to Step 2.
  2. Execute the following command:
    cudbHaState | grep lm
    The expected output must be similar to the following example:
    saAmfSISUHAState."safSu=LmSa-Su-1,safSg=LmSa-Sg,safApp=ERIC-LmSa-App"."safSi=LmSa-Si": active(1)
    saAmfSISUHAState."safSu=LmSa-Su-0,safSg=LmSa-Sg,safApp=ERIC-LmSa-App"."safSi=LmSa-Si": standby(2)
    If the states listed in the output are not active or standby, then contact the next level of support. If the output is similar to the above example, then continue with the next step.
  3. Clear the alarm manually as described in the "Clearing Alarms" section of CUDB Node Fault Management Configuration Guide.
