Fault Management


The iAN8K B1000 fault management consists of alarm and event management.
Alarms reported from the iAN8K B1000 nodes are sent to the Netman 4000, assisting
network operators to obtain accurate and updated fault data, and perform
troubleshooting to ensure the system operation.
Alarm Processing
iAN8K B1000 nodes are responsible for detecting, tracking and reporting alarms to
the Netman 4000. When an alarm is detected, and the administrative state of the
affected object is unlocked, the node will update the operational state of the affected
object and save the alarm to the SCM4 module, update alarm LEDs and buzzer
status on the SCM4 front panel, and send alarm trap to the Netman 4000.
When the administrative state of the affected object is locked, the node will only
update the operational state of the object.
Table 7 summarizes the alarm processing procedure depending on the administrative
state.
Table 13 Alarm Processing Procedure

child nature of an entity with all its sub entities, the parent reflects the highest
severity among itself and its sub entities.
Alarm Class Severity
Communication
Alarms
An alarm of this type is principally associated with the procedures and/or
processes required to convey information from one point to another.
Quality Of
Service Alarms
An alarm of this type is principally associated with a degradation in the quality
of a service.
Equipment
Alarms
An alarm of this type is principally associated with an equipment fault.
Processing Error
Alarms
An alarm of this type is principally associated with the software or
troubleshooting process.
Environmental
Alarms
An alarm of this type is principally associated with a condition relating to an
environment in which the equipment resides.
Alarm Severity Levels
Critical
Critical alarm indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an
immediate corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when a managed object becomes totally out of service and its
capability must be restored.
Major
Major alarm indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an
urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of the managed
object and its full capability must be restored.
Minor
Minor alarm indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition
and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious
(for example, service affecting) fault. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the
capacity of the managed object.
Warning
Warning alarm indicates the detection of a potential or impending service
affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be
taken to further diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to
prevent it from becoming a more serious service-affecting fault.
