Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module

Summary of Configuration Tasks

Note In order to configure the NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module you must have installed it during the CPC Server and Client installation procedures. For more information about installing CPC, refer to the chapter titled "Initial Installation" in the Cisco Provisioning Center Installation and Administration Guide.

Summary of Configuration Tasks

To configure the Equipment Module to make CPC operational, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1 Network Timeout.

Step 2 Initial system upload.

Step 3 Re-upload (if configuration information has changed).

Step 4 Add inter-network links (topology) information.

Step 5 Configure Service element profiles.

Network Timeout

The NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module implements an overall timeout for service provisioning transactions. There are two environmental variables that define the Network Timeout. These are CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT (Default=120 seconds) and CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT (default=

300 seconds); they define the maximum interval (measured in seconds) allowed for each Service element activation and for the rollback of each Service element, respectively. The maximum interval must amount to the maximum time to elapse before the NIF times out. For example, if CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT=180, this allows the NIF three minutes to activate an item in a Transaction.

Default settings are used if the NIF detects that these variables are not set in the environment.

Network timeout requires shutting down the server if it is not already down, setting the variables and then restarting it to pick up the environment changes.

To set the CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT environment variable:

Step 1 Shut down the CPC server by issuing the following command:

SYnpt -h

Step 2 Set the environment variable to an integer (measured in seconds) that amounts to the maximum time to elapse before the NIF times out:

export CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT=180

To set the CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT environment variable:

Step 3 Set the environment variable to an integer (measured in seconds) that amounts to the maximum time to elapse before the NIF times out:

export CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT=180
