Overview

Purpose

This section is intended for NFM-P operators that are responsible for developing and using maintenance procedures in CPAM implementations.

The CPAM maintenance tasks and procedures are categorized by frequency. Nokia recommends the implementation of a regular maintenance schedule to help you to be proactive about the state of the control plane.

Managing CPAM alarms

In large NFM-P-managed networks where applications are constantly interacting with a busy network in a non-stop management environment, many alarms are raised. These alarms should be:

tracked as they arrive
historically logged for trend and performance analysis

You must review CPAM alarms on a daily basis to check the type and characteristics of the alarms, and to resolve the problems associated with the alarms. You can create search filters to identify alarms, and view up to six filtered alarm lists to monitor network-wide issues. You can analyze the alarm history log to identify chronic or prolonged failures, or trends.

Use subject to agreed restrictions on disclosure and use.
