• Critical path - The roll up is essentially an OR (or maximum value) of the

states of its children and the node state itself.

• Functional - All child node states are processed as a group. If all child node

states are up, the roll up state is up. If all child node states are down, the roll

up state is down. If at least one, but not all child node states are down, the roll

up state is partially impaired. The roll up value is then processed with the

local state value to determine the overall node state value.

The assignment status of a node is determined by three things:

• The roll up of the assignment status of all Alarms associated with that node

• The roll up of the assignment status of all child nodes

• The rule that defines how the roll up of child node states should be done

The roll up of a set of assignment statuses is defined as the most severe in the set.

Assignment status values in order of increasing severity are shown in Table 1-2.

Table 1-2 Assignment Status Values

Thus, the roll up of a set of assignment status values can be determined by taking

the maximum value of the set. The icons associated with these status values are

described in Assignment Status Icon, page 7-3.
