Chapter 8: Enterprise Survivable Server Acceptance
Acceptance testing is used to test the design and administration of the ESS configuration. To
check the ESS configuration, it is recommended that the status ess port-networks and
status ess clusters command be preformed on a regular bases.

Testing transfer of control from Main server to ESS server

What to expect

All Port Networks under test perform a restart when coming into service on the ESS server. This
may take several minutes.

What this test is used for

! CAUTION:
This test is service affecting. When an ESS server or Main media server
CAUTION:
assumes control of a Port Network, the Port Network restarts. All established
calls on the Port Network will be torn down except shuffled calls between IP
endpoints. Shuffled IP calls do not have access to features during Port Network
resets.
Use this procedure to test the ability of an ESS server to take control of one or more Port
Networks.
1. Identify the Port Network(s) that will be used for the test.
2. Identify the ESS server you wish to test. The ESS server must be currently connected to the
Port Networks identified in step 1. To verify that the ESS server is currently connected to the
Port Network(s), execute a status ess port-network command from either the Main
server or the ESS server under test. The CLID of the ESS server must appear in the list of
connected 'Clusters IDs' for the Port Network(s).
3. On the ESS server, execute the get forced-takeover ipserver-interface N
command (where N is the number of the first Port Network.
