Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager 5620 SAM Nuage Virtualization User Guide...
5620 SAM management of DC PODs and interconnects The 5620 SAM allows you to assign a DC interconnect to a discovery rule. All network elements discovered by the rule are automatically associated with the specified interconnect. DC PODs should align with a 5650 CPAM administrative domain.
IP addresses across separate data centers can overlap, but duplicate IP addresses within a single data center should not occur. If the 5620 SAM detects a duplicate V-Switch IP address due to a misconfiguration, it raises a critical alarm.
• correlation of VSC faults to related virtual objects, including persisted objects The V-Node is useful to 5620 SAM for service discovery and event correlation. The V-Node discovers virtual services through an OpenFlow interface between the VSC and the V-Switch. Then the 5620 SAM discovers the service from the V-Node using SNMP.
7850 VSA. The port or LAG must be configured with Dot1q encapsulation. You can view and create port profiles by choosing Policies→Data Center from the 5620 SAM main menu. You can assign port profiles to ports or LAGs from their respective properties forms.
A VSC can act in the primary or secondary role in a redundancy setup, and can be associated to more than one virtual switch session group. If you are managing more than one data center with the 5620 SAM, you should ensure that the primary and secondary VSC are in the same data center.
Configure DC PODs and DC Interconnects, as required Note — If you do not create any DC PODs or DC Interconnects as part of data center creation, the 5620 SAM creates one of each automatically. Click Create on the POD tab. The POD (Create) form opens.

Historical event correlation to isolate the root cause of a problem and the impacts to service. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for more information on service management. See the 5650 CPAM User Guide for more information on service troubleshooting.
10.4 Lightweight services When the 5620 SAM discovers a dVRS or EVPN service from the 7850 VSG or standalone VSC, a corresponding lightweight service is automatically created. A virtual site (V-Site) is created for each corresponding dVRS or EVPN site. The V-Site includes the Nuage customer identifiers from the service.
VM UUID while maintaining alarm correlations, statistics, and other data related to that VM. As VMs move and service objects are automatically deleted, the 5620 SAM maintains a log of persisted service objects so that historical routing information is not lost. Deleted V-Switch Sites are retained by the service with the operational state and state cause exposed to the user.
Because it is possible for a standalone dVRS or EVPN service to be managed by the 5620 SAM, the Service Tunnels and Transported Services tabs are useful for showing whether the service is attached.
It lists the same customer, VM, and transported service information as the service form. It includes statistics, TCAs, and faults information which is otherwise not available from the V-Switch view of the service. 10-6 Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager 5620 SAM Nuage Virtualization User Guide...
11.3 Network object persistence Due to the dynamic nature of virtualized services, it is necessary for the 5620 SAM to provide historical persistence for VMs and service objects that have been moved or deleted entirely. Lightweight services also provide persistence for service objects such as V-Sites.
DC: VM Down Learning correlation algorithm The 5620 SAM uses an algorithm to determine the window in which to find a correlated event, called a learning correlation algorithm. The algorithm dynamically learns the correlation interval and calculates the average and standard deviations.
The 5620 SAM supports a fault management framework unique to data centers support. In addition to the fault management rules provided as part of the 5650 CPAM, the 5620 SAM supports a new set of correlation rules which help to monitor and troubleshoot virtual network and service objects. The 5620 SAM correlation framework is extended to persisted virtual network and service objects to allow you to view impact analysis for moved or deleted VMs, for example.
BGP events that match defined profiles. Other applications can then register with the 5620 SAM JMS server to receive a notification each time a BGP event matches a defined BGP route profile. BGP route profiles can also be used to retrieve matching BGP events.
Click OK in the Find Target form. The IGP Topology Map is displayed with the specified route highlighted. See the 5650 CPAM User Guide for more information on the features available from the IGP Topology Map. 11-6 Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager 5620 SAM Nuage Virtualization User Guide...
