In addition, you can specify on properties forms that the 5620 SAM reverts the OLC
state to the in-service or maintenance mode after a specified time, depending on the
current OLC state of the object or service. In addition, you can specify in NE
discovery rules that the current OLC state reverts after the resynchronization is
complete.You can specify that the 5620 SAM raises an informational alarm about
the object OLC state reverting to the opposite state.
Setting the OLC state
The default value of the OLC state for NEs can be specified in the discovery rules.
See the 5620 SAM User Guide for more information about configuring the default
OLC state for discovered network elements.
The OLC state default value of a child object is inherited from the parent object or
service. The default value of the OLC state for composite services and services can
be specified using the nms-server.xml file.
When the OLC state of an NE is set to the maintenance mode, all child objects such
as access interfaces, card slots, daughter cards, and ports are set to maintenance
mode. The sites on the NE are set to the maintenance mode.
When the OLC state of a composite service or service is set to the maintenance mode,
the following related objects are changed:
• sites on which the services reside
• access interfaces (SAPs, L2 and L3 access interfaces)
• SDP Bindings (mesh, mirror and spoke bindings)
When the OLC state of a composite service or services is changed to in service,
access interfaces and sites may not change to in service if they belong to equipment
objects that are set to maintenance.
The OLC state of the parent object must be in service to change the OLC state of the
child object. You can change the OLC state of the parent object regardless of the
OLC state of the child object. However, when a child object has more than one parent
object and the OLC state of one parent is set to maintenance, the child object is set
to maintenance. The OLC state for a child object cannot be changed if one of the
parent OLC states is set to maintenance.
You can configure the default OLC state for objects that become administratively
down from the OLC tab on the System Preferences form. See Procedure 5-24.
See the 5620 SAM User Guide for information about how to configure the OLC state
for network objects, equipment objects, services, and sites.
Note — An NE shelf inherits the OLC state of the NE, and is
read-only.
Caution — Unauthorized modification of the nms-server.xml file can
seriously affect network management and 5620 SAM performance.
