Provisioning Server Enhancements

The following changes have been made for the Provisioning Service.

Port (OC3/OC12)

The LINE_INTERFACE_TYPE attribute in this type of provisioning object has been updated to accommodate the Hybrid-2xOC3 ATM, 1xGE module in the unspRXDeviceMgr.idl file.

Table 1: Attributes (Port: OC3/OC12) 

Attribute	Characteristic	Description	MIB Entry
LINE_INTERFACE_TYPE	View	Line interface type	3=OC3 2-port 12=OC12 ATM 1-port 14=OC3 ATM 4-port 36=Hybrid-2xOC3 ATM, 1xGE (Valid for port 0 and port 1 only; port 2 is a GE type and is not supported.)

PVS Test Utility Dialog Box

Two new fields, EMS Name and Port, have been added to the PVS Test Utility dialog box. You can now name and run multiple uniquely named PVS Services to one NMC-RX database.

Running Multiple PVS Services to One NMC-RX Database

To run multiple uniquely named PVS Services to one NMC-RX database, follow these steps. Note that there must be one dedicated Provisioning Service for each CORBA client:

1. Start the Naming Service.
2. Modify the PVS.rc file by assigning a unique emsName and server port for the Provisioning Service.
3. Start the NMC RMI Service.
4. Start the NMC CORBA Service.
5. Start the PVS Test Utility, and confirm that the emsName (Provisioning Service) is up and functioning as expected.
6. Modify the PVS.rc file again by assigning a different emsName and server port for the Provisioning Service.
7. Repeat step 3-5.
