System maintenance

It is good practice to perform routine maintenance tasks to avoid problems that

can affect server performance or cause the server to fail. The MAS platform

includes a number of useful tools and indicators to help you monitor your

server performance quickly and easily. With these tools, you can perform

regular maintenance routines.

Event logs

To ensure you are aware of service-affecting events so that you can take

appropriate action, check your event logs daily. Investigate any unusual

alarms or events, changes in alarm patterns, or inordinate alarm volumes.

Backups

To protect your site against data loss, maintain up-to-date backups. Ensure

you have a full system backup scheduled at regular intervals, even on systems

equipped with Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). A full system

backup is critical to prevent data loss if a system failure occurs, such as a disk

drive failure or data corruption. Nortel also recommends that you perform a full

system backup before you upgrade or install new software. You can schedule

backups to run online while the system is still in service; however, Nortel

recommends that you schedule backups for off-peak hours.
