Resource-Pool Component
The resource-pool component contains two modules—a dispatcher and a local resource-pool manager.
The dispatcher interfaces with the signaling stack, resource-group manager, and AAA, and is responsible
for maintaining resource-pool call state and status information. The state transitions can be displayed by
enabling the resource-pool debug traces. Table 45 summarizes the resource pooling states.
The resource-pool state can be used to isolate problems. For example, if a call fails authorization in the
RM_RES_AUTHOR state, investigate further with AAA authorization debugs to determine whether the
problem lies in the resource-pool manager, AAA, or dispatcher.
The resource-pool component also contains local customer profiles and discriminators, and is
responsible for matching, configuring, and maintaining the associated counters and statistics. The
resource-pool component is responsible for the following:
• Configuration of customer profiles or discriminators
• Matching a customer profile or discriminator for local profile configuration
• Counters/statistics for customer profiles or discriminators
• Active call information displayed by the show resource-pool call command
The RPMS debug commands are summarized in Table 46.
Table 45 Resource Pooling States
State Description
RM_IDLE No call activity.
RM_RES_AUTHOR Call waiting for authorization; message sent to AAA.
RM_RES_ALLOCATING Call authorized; resource group manager allocating.
RM_RES_ALLOCATED Resource allocated; connection acknowledgment sent to signaling state.
Call should get connected and become active.
RM_AUTH_REQ_IDLE Signaling module disconnected call while in RM_RES_AUTHOR.
Waiting for authorization response from AAA.
RM_RES_REQ_IDLE Signaling module disconnected call while in RM_RES_ALLOCATING.
Waiting for resource allocation response from resource group manager.

Command Purpose
debug resource-pool
This debug output should be sufficient for most RPM
troubleshooting situations.
debug aaa authorization
This debug output provides more specific information and shows
the actual DNIS numbers passed and call types used.
