How do I enable debug configuration file reloading on an NE for mirror services?
Purpose
Ensure that the managed NEs reload the debug configuration file after an NE restart. This ensures that the mirror services in the managed network resume operation after a reboot or a CPM activity switch on the NE that hosts the mirror service. By default, debug configuration file reloading is disabled.
|
CAUTION Service Disruption |
The procedure requires a restart of each main server, which is service-affecting.
Ensure that you perform the procedure only during a scheduled maintenance window.

CAUTION Service Disruption |
Modifying the server configuration can have serious consequences including service disruption.
Contact technical support before you attempt to modify the server configuration.
Note: You must perform the procedure on each main server in the NFM-P system.
Note: In a redundant system, you must perform the procedure on the standby main server station first.
Steps
1 |
Log in to the main server station as the nsp user. |
2 |
Open a console window. |
3 |
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory. |
4 |
Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor. |
5 |
Locate the section that begins with the following XML tag: <serviceMirror |
6 |
Specify the NE location of the debug configuration file. For example: <serviceMirror debugFilename="filename" reloadDelay="delay" /> where filename is the absolute file path of the debug log on the NE, for example, cf3:/ServiceMirror.dbg delay is the time, in seconds, to wait before a reload request is sent |
7 |
Save and close the nms-server.xml file. |
8 |
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin directory. |
9 |
Enter the following to restart the main server: bash$ ./nmsserver.bash force_restart ↵ The main server restarts. |
10 |
Close the console window. End of steps |
