Server resource management

Resource grouping

CAUTION Service Disruption

Only a qualified Nokia support representative can assess or configure NFM-P server resource management. Contact Nokia technical support for more information.

The NFM-P supports the grouping of NEs by network function for increased SNMP mediation efficiency.

Resource allocation is automatically configured during NFM-P installation and network discovery based on the available system resources, and the numbers and types of NEs that are to be managed. The resource group to which an NE belongs is initially determined by the device type. The following are the NFM-P NE resource groups and the default device assignments:

• global—for NFM-P tasks that are not associated with NEs

• default—for NEs that do not belong to a specific resource group

• core—for 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, and 7950 XRS devices

• middle—for 7210 SAS and 7705 SAR devices

• edge—for OmniSwitch and similar devices

• GNE—for other network devices

The NFM-P logs the system load of each resource group at regular intervals. An Nokia support representative can monitor system resource usage, determine whether the current resource allocation is appropriate, and reconfigure resource management, if required.
