1   Introduction

This instruction concerns alarm handling.

1.1   Alarm Description

The alarm is raised when the application is possibly unable to use additional instances of the licensed feature.

The possible alarm causes and fault locations are explained in Table 1.

Table 1    Alarm Causes

Alarm Cause	Description	Fault Reason	Fault Location	Impact
The application is possibly unable to use additional instances of the licensed feature	The number of reserved tokens in a capacity license approaches the value of attribute licensedCapacityLimit or are above the value of attribute capacityAlarmThreshold	The requested capacity has exceeded the value of attribute capacityAlarmThreshold or licensedCapacityLimit	License server	The requested capacity is possibly unavailable

The alarm attributes are listed and explained in Table 2.

Table 2    Alarm Attributes

Attribute Name	Attribute Value
Major Type	193
Minor Type	393219
Managed Object Class	Lm
Managed Object Instance	ManagedElement=<node_name>,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1,License=<License Type>
Specific Problem	License Management, Capacity Usage Threshold Reached
Event Type	qualityOfServiceAlarm (3)
Probable Cause	x733ThresholdCrossed (351)
Additional Text	Capacity usage threshold reached
Perceived Severity	One of the following: major (4) – The value of attribute licensedCapacityLimit of the license identified by attribute capacityKeyId is reached. warning (6) – The reserved capacity of the license identified by attribute capacityKeyId has passed the warning threshold defined by attribute capacityAlarmThreshold, but is still below the total licensed capacity.

1.2   Prerequisites

This section provides information on the documents, tools, and conditions that apply to the procedure.

1.2.1   Documents

This instruction references the following documents:

• Data Collection Guideline
• Install License Key File
• View License Information

1.2.2   Tools

No tools are required.

1.2.3   Conditions

Before starting this procedure, ensure that the following conditions are met:

• A License Management, Capacity Usage Threshold Reached alarm is raised.
• The user has proper authority to handle configuration management of the network elements.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

This section describes the procedure to follow when this alarm is received.

2.1   Analyzing Alarm

Do the following:

1. Navigate to the Lm Managed Object (MO), for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,Lm=1

2. View attribute capacityAlarmHysteresis value:

   (Lm=1)>show capacityAlarmHysteresis

   The following is an example output:

   capacityAlarmHysteresis=6

3. View attribute capacityAlarmThreshold value:

   (Lm=1)>show capacityAlarmThreshold

   The following is an example output:

   capacityAlarmThreshold=85

4. View Capacity Key information, refer to View License Information.
5. Provide License Management configuration and license information for capacity planning:
   • If the capacity planning organization decides to adjust License Management configuration, proceed with Section 2.2 Adjust License Management Configuration.
   • If the capacity planning organization decides to install new license key with higher capacity, proceed with Section 2.3 Install New Capacity License.

2.2   Adjust License Management Configuration

Do the following:

1. Is it required to set a new value for attribute capacityAlarmHysteresis?

   Yes: Continue with the next step.

   No: Proceed with Step 6.

2. Enter Config mode:

   (Lm=1)>configure

3. Set a new value for attribute capacityAlarmHysteresis, for example:

   (config-Lm=1)>capacityAlarmHysteresis=8

4. Commit the change:

   (config-Lm=1)>commit

5. Verify the change:

   (Lm=1)>show capacityAlarmHysteresis

   The following is an example output:

   capacityAlarmHysteresis=8

6. Is it required to set a new value for attribute capacityAlarmThreshold?

   Yes: Continue with the next step.

   No: Proceed with Step 11.

7. Enter Config mode:

   (Lm=1)>configure

8. Set a new value for attribute capacityAlarmThreshold, for example:

   (config-Lm=1)>capacityAlarmThreshold=90

9. Commit the change:

   (config-Lm=1)>commit

10. Verify the change:

    (Lm=1)>show capacityAlarmThreshold

    The following is an example output:

    capacityAlarmThreshold=90

11. Is the alarm cleared?

    Yes: Continue with the next step.

    No: Proceed with Section 2.3 Install New Capacity License.

12. Job is completed.

2.3   Install New Capacity License

Do the following:

1. Contact the Ericsson supplier to order a new license with higher capacity.
2. Install the new license key file, refer to Install License Key File.
3. Is the alarm cleared?

   Yes: Proceed with Step 6.

   No: Continue with the next step.

4. Perform data collection, refer to Data Collection Guideline.
5. Consult the next level of maintenance support. Further actions are outside the scope of this instruction.
6. Job is completed.
