Fault management

Strategy

Database Module fault management consists of monitoring and responding to logs and alarms from the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Console and the System Management Console. See MCP System Management Console Basics.

The Database Module is built on an Oracle database and provides high availability using Oracle Replication to a secondary database on a separate server. As updates are applied to the primary database, they are transferred to the secondary (replicated) database.

To provide additional redundancy, databases should be backed up on a regular basis. For backup and recovery procedures, see “Security and Administration” on page 69.

CAUTION

Nortel Networks recommends that the primary and secondary databases and external backup media be maintained in separate geographic locations to prevent data loss in case of natural disaster, security breech, or other unforeseen event.
