1 Description

This instruction describes how to start geographical redundancy in the SAPC. To do this, start Preferred SAPC as Active and Non-Preferred SAPC as Standby.

Prerequisites

This section provides information of the prerequisites which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

The following conditions must apply:

Understand geographical redundancy functionality.
Both SAPCs are in Initial state.
Geographical redundancy license is active.

2 Procedure

2.1 Start Preferred as Active

To start the Preferred SAPC as Active, do the following:

Steps

Connect to the Preferred SAPC and open an Ericsson Command-Line Interface (CLI) session:
Navigate to class GeoRedManager object:
>dn ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1
Execute start action:
(ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1)> start --state Active

If action was successfully executed, alarms Policy Control, Geographical Redundancy Unable To Reach Peer and DBS, NR, Initial Synchronization Needed raise until the Non-Preferred SAPC is started.

Verify the result:

(ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1)> show

Note:

Since this is a long-running operation, it can be required to enter show command several times until the final operation result is shown in the progress report.

When the operation is successfully executed, it shows the following values:

lastOperationExecuted=START

lastOperationResult=ACTION_RESULT_OK

To check the status of the Preferred SAPC, verify that the attribute currentState is Active.

If an error occurs during the execution of the operation, it shows the following values:

lastOperationExecuted=START

lastOperationResult=ACTION_RESULT_NOT_OK

Attribute lastOperationDetailedInfo shows information about the error. It can take one of these values:

Already in Active state
Not possible to execute start action from <state> state
Parameter state missing
Geographical Redundancy without license

2.2 Start Non-Preferred as Standby

To start the Non-Preferred SAPC as Standby, do the following:

Steps

Connect to the Non-Preferred SAPC and open an Ericsson Command-Line Interface (CLI) session.
Navigate to class GeoRedManager object:
>dn ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1
Execute start action:
(ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1)> start --state Standby

If action was successfully executed, alarms Policy Control, Geographical Redundancy Unable To Reach Peer and DBS, NR, Initial Synchronization Needed are cleared when both peers are synchronized.

Verify the result:

(ManagedElement=1,PolicyControlFunction=1,GeoRedManager=1)> show

Note:

Since this is a long-running operation, it can be required to enter show command several times until the final operation result is shown in the progress report.

When the operation is successfully executed, it shows the following values:

lastOperationExecuted=START

lastOperationResult=ACTION_RESULT_OK

To check the status of the Non-Preferred SAPC, verify that the attribute currentState is Standby.

If an error occurs during the execution of the operation, it shows the following values:

lastOperationExecuted=START

lastOperationResult=ACTION_RESULT_NOT_OK

Attribute lastOperationDetailedInfo shows information about the error. It can take one of these values:

Already in Standby state
Not possible to execute start action from <state> state
Parameter state missing
