Removing An Ess; Checking Ess Status - Avaya ESS User Manual

Removing an ESS

It may be necessary to remove an ESS server from service. The following steps can be used to
do this.
1. At the Main server issue the status ess port-networks command to verify that the
ESS server is not controlling any Port Networks. If the ESS server to be removed is
controlling Port Networks they must be moved to another media server before removing the
ESS server.
2. At the ESS server issue the disable ESS cluster N command where N is the Cluster
ID of the ESS server to be removed.
3. At the Main server issue the status ess clusters command to verify that the ESS
server to be removed is disabled.
4. At the Main server issue the change system-paramters ess command and remove
(blank) the information for the ESS server.
5. At the ESS server, on the standby media server if duplicated, use the Maintenance Web
Interface to issue a Shutdown Server command to gracefully shut down.
6. At the ESS server, on the active media server use the Maintenance Web Interface to issue
a Shutdown Server command to gracefully shut down.

Checking ESS status

It may be advantageous to periodically check the status of the ESS server installation. The
following steps can be used to do this.
1. At the Main server issue the status ess cluster command. Verify that:
The Main server and each ESS server is enabled
●
The Main server and each ESS server is registered
●
Each ESS server has current translations.
●
It is possible, even likely, that the Main server will have a Translations Updated
timestamp that is more recent than that of the ESS servers. This is because the Main
server timestamp is updated every time any save translation [ess, lsp, or all]
command is issued at the Main server. Translations are only updated on the ESS servers
when a save translation ess, or save translation all command is issued at
the Main server.
Use the display system-parameters maintenance SAT command to verify that
translations are updated for ESS servers on a routine basis.
