1   Introduction

This document describes how to lock a health check rule, meaning that a rule is excluded from ME healthiness evaluation. When a health check rule is locked, the results of all health check jobs referring to it are affected.

All health check rules are in state unlocked by default.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• The rule identity to lock is known.
• The current value of attribute administrativeState is UNLOCKED for the rule to lock
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To lock a health check rule:

1. Navigate to the HealthCheckM Managed Object (MO):

   >dn ManagedElement=<node_name>,SystemFunctions=1,HealthCheckM=1

   Note:  

   The string node_name is specific for the ME.

   
   
2. Navigate to the health check rule to lock, for example:

   (HealthCheckM=1)>HcRule=RuleProvider_1

   Note:  

   The string RuleProvider_1 is the health check rule identity.

   
   
3. Enter Config mode:

   (HcRule=RuleProvider_1)>configure

4. Lock the health check rule:

   (config-HcRule=RuleProvider_1)>administrativeState=LOCKED

5. Commit the change:

   (config-HcRule=RuleProvider_1)>commit

6. Verify the rule state:

   (HcRule=RuleProvider_1)>show administrativeState

   The following is an example output:

   HcRule=RuleProvider_1 administrativeState=LOCKED
