OMC-H 7.3 requires Solaris 2.9 or SunOS 5.9 operating system. The OS version with jumpstart CD –9.4 and OS archive 9.14 needs to be installed prior to installation of the OMC when installing the OMC-H 7.3 afresh.

Upgrade feature for OMC-H OMC-H supports release upgrade from OMC-H 7.0 to OMC-H 7.3 for OMC-H application. It provides backward compatibility to USDS version 6.0 and upgrade to USDS version 6.0 SU3. 2. Data Grid The Data Grid is a network element of MiLife Application Servers that provides a client application with a global view of all subscriber-related data, and a single access point to the global view from each of the Data Grid’s “serving data nodes”. For phase 1 only virtual view will be supported. Virtual views always access the data from the data source that masters the data. A Data Grid node consolidates subscriber information from all data sources that contain relevant information. With the global view constructed for all subscriber data, it can serve queries from applications, allowing application writers to access data from a single Data Grid node using a single protocol rather than multiple data sources using multiple protocols. The Data Grid itself does not store any data. Instead, a virtual view of the global schema is presented to the client application. The Data Grid has configuration information that can map the global schema to a set of data sources. The data sources can be relational data sources or directory data sources. These data sources are considered golden sources of the data (up-to-date and the master source). The data sources can be co- resident or external to the MiLife Application Server. Co-resident data would be stored in one of the supported data repositories, namely TimesTen, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or Sun ONE Directory Server. OMC-H supports Fault and performance management for Data grid network elements. It also supports all types of views viz. hardware, topological and topographical for DG NE. Alarm Correlation rules are also supported for DG NE. 3. AAA Radius HCF in OMC-H USDS-AAA is composed of three components: • Vital AAA server on CF to process AAA requests/responses. It provides protocol stacks for AAA and service logic. • DAG on CF acting as data access gateway for AAA server to DF database • HDF to manage and access USDS-AAA databases.

The AAA server on CF is Vital AAA, a commercial AAA server in lucent product line. In USDS R6.0, Vital AAA is integrated into USDS architecture to provide AAA functionalities. Vital AAA provides a Service Management Tool (SMT) for managing and monitoring its AAA functionalities. OMC-H supports part of management on USDS-AAA. 4. Support for SNMPv2 on NBI The OMC-H SNMP NBI
