Cisco Active Network Abstraction Administrator’s Guide, 3.5

6.1Creating AVMs

Sheer DNA Manage enables the user to define AVMs for DNA Unit Servers. Every AVM (Autonomous Virtual Machine) in the Sheer DNA Fabric is by default managed by the watchdog protocol. Sheer DNA Manage enables the administrator to define AVMs for Sheer DNA Units and enable or disable the watchdog protocol on the AVM.

In order to define an AVM:

The Sheer DNA Unit must be installed.

The Sheer DNA Unit must be connected to the transport network.

The default AVMs, namely, AVM 0 (the switch AVM), AVM 99 (the management AVM) and AVM 100 (the trap management AVM) must be running.

Note: For more information on the status of AVMs, for example, status Up when the AVM is running, refer to the AVM Status section on page 82.

The new AVM must have a unique ID within the Sheer DNA Unit.

Note: There are certain AVM ID numbers that are reserved, namely, AVM 0- 100 and these cannot be used. In addition, there may be other reserved AVM ID numbers. The user will be unable to enter a reserved number.

To create an AVM

1.Select the DNA Servers branch in the Sheer DNA Manage window’s Tree pane. The DNA Servers branch is displayed.

2.Expand the DNA Servers branch and select the required DNA Servers Entity sub-branch.
