Manage FS 5000 call server quarantine status

Purpose

This topic describes the steps to quarantine and un-quarantine an FS 5000 call server. An administrator manually quarantines an FS 5000 call server when the call server is unable to provide services. Quarantining call server is not an automatic process.

When to use

Important!  This procedure is normally performed at the OMC-P in case of disasters. The procedure must only be performed using Explorer in case of emergency. For example, when no OMC-P is operational.

The protection call server is not intended to act as an alternate call server when the primary call server is temporarily unavailable. For example, due to a failing connection to the primary call server.

Impact of quarantining on performance

When users register with the protection call server or with the primary call server, there is a minor performance impact on the Lucent CM system.

The performance impact is the same as when users register during a normal Lucent CM system startup.
