•It generates alarms when any unsuccessful scenarios are encountered. These alarms are listed in the Cisco BTS 10200 Troubleshooting Guide.

Provisioning LAF

The following parameters are associated with the LAF process. If they are left blank, the LAF process for a particular platform (such as, CA, FSPTC, FSAIN) is turned off.

To use this feature, you must provision the following parameters with the external archive system, the target directory, and the disk quota (in GB) for each platform.

CAxxx_LAF_PARAMETER

FSPTCxxx_LAF_PARAMETER

FSAINxxx_LAF_PARAMETER

Note that xxx must be replaced with each platform’s instance number.

Enabling LAF Process

To enable the Log Archive Facility (LAF) feature, you must set up the authorization for non-interactive SSH login to the external archive server for the Cisco BTS 10200 system to access and turn the LAF processes to active state. (Immediately after the fresh installation and platform start, the LAF process is in a dormant state).
