Page 12: Introduction To Platform Preparation And Software Deployment
Preparation procedures that apply to all VM platforms include the following steps: Make the VM template available to the VM manager. Configure the VM manager to apply the template correctly for Oracle Communications Session Delivery software. Power-on the VM. If the deployment is using a VM template, the system uses that template to automatically install onto the virtual drive, after which the server reboots.

Chapter 1 Netra and COTS user navigate the deployment and perform tasks that are specifically related to Oracle Communications Session Delivery software. Netra and COTS You must provision Netra (and COTS) hardware before installing software. This includes platform-specific configuration, such as BIOS, and platform management access.

Netra Server X5-2 Platform Preparation Oracle Communications produces a variety of software products that run on the Netra X5-2 for Communications platform, including Oracle session delivery applications. Use your Hardware documentation to install and establish system management by way of ILOM.
Page 15: Cable The Netra X5-2 For Communications
Chapter 2 Cable the Netra X5-2 for Communications To decrease boot up time, Oracle recommends disabling Intel PXE Boot Agent for both onboard and NIC ethernet ports. To disable the Boot Agent for the onboard ethernet ports, navigate to the OpROM option for NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3 interfaces (for example, IO, Internal Devices) and set it to disabled.

Chapter 5 Host Hypervisor CPU Affinity (Pinning) • The OCSBC displays sibling CPUs in lower-case letters: – A signaling core with signaling sibling appears as "Ss". – There can be no combination of SBC core types, such as "Fd" (Forwarding with DoS).
Page 52: Configuration Overview
The user can learn how to pin CPUs via their hypervisor documentation. Configuration Overview Oracle Communications Session Border Controller Virtual Machine (VM) deployments require configuration of the VM environment and, separately, configuration of the OCSBC itself. VM- specific configuration on the OCSBC includes boot parameter configuration, enabling functionality and performance tuning.
Page 53: Vlan Support
OCSBC. Note that when you configure a VLAN, the OCSBC requires VLAN tags to be included in the packets delivered to and from the VM. Oracle recommends that you evaluate the VLAN support of your deployment's hypervisor and interface I/O mode before implementation to ensure secure support for the transmission and receiving of VLAN-tagged traffic.

As you configure, follow these guidelines: On the primary instance of OCSBC, and through the AWS console, configure Secondary Private IPs to be used as OCSBC virtual IPs.
Page 74: Generate An Ec2 Ami From The Vsbc Image
Generate an EC2 AMI from the vSBC Image You perform this procedure to convert the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (OCSBC) image provided by Oracle into an AMI, from which you can create vSBC machines. This procedure requires that you, from the EC2 system, create a Linux machine, attach a new disk to it, and put the OCSBC image on your machine.

Create and Deploy on OCI You can deploy the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (OCSBC) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in either standalone or High Availability (HA) mode. When deployed on this platform, you configure and operate the OCSBC as you would on any other platform.
Page 89 • RTP —UDP or TCP port 5004 and 5005 Oracle recommends using a private subnet for HA and a basic security list that allows all local traffic. However, there are some deployments where this is not possible. In these cases, create a security list with a port open for the port you've selected in redundancy-config, which is typically port 9090.

2 service ports for the common 4 on-board NIC configuration. The presence of additional NIC cards maps an additional management interface to the on- board NICs, leaving only a single service interface on the on-board NIC. The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller provides a means of testing and changing physical interface assignment.
Page 120: Working With The Interface-Mapping Branch
Working with the interface-mapping branch Interface identification on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller is based on a system-level file called MACTAB that maps interface MAC addresses to interface naming that can be applied within Oracle Communications Session Border Controller configuration.

The stage 3 boot loader is backward compatible with application software. The Stage3 boot loader is generally backward compatible with previous releases, but Oracle recommends that the Stage3 boot loader be installed from the same Major.Minor version as the system image.
Page 134: Software Upgrade Procedure
Software Upgrade Procedure The following procedure describes how to upgrade a Oracle Communications Session Border Controller with a new software image. In this procedure, the image file is located on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller’s local file system in /boot.
Page 135: Ha Upgrade
HA Upgrade In the descriptions and processes outlined below, ORACLE-1 is initially the active system and ORACLE-2 is initially the standby system. Please read the following procedures carefully before beginning the upgrade. If necessary, you can back out of the upgrade once during the upgrade procedure and once after you have completed the upgrade procedure.
Page 136 Chapter 12 HA Upgrade On ORACLE-1, show the current configuration version by using the ACLI display- current-cfg-version command. Then use the same command on ORACLE-2 and be sure that its current configuration version is the same as the one on ORACLE-1.
