Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual page 585

Starting with Communication Manager 3.1, node names are used in place of IP addresses for
ESS servers on pages one through five of the System Parameters ESS screen. When
upgrading an ESS configuration to Communication 3.1, the following events occur:
When you upgrade an ESS configuration from a release prior to Communication Manager
●
3.1, the system automatically creates a node name for each administered ESS server. The
node name is combination of:
- The string ESSCid followed by the ESS server's cluster ID
- The string Sid followed by the ID of the ESS server
For example, if the ESS server had an IP address of 111.222.333.123, a cluster ID of 4,
and a server ID of 2, the node name automatically assigned to the server would be,
ESSCid004Sid002. This node name would have the IP address of 111.222.333.123.
A survivable processor entry is created for each ESS server.

Administering LSP servers for PE
Local Survivable Processors (LSPs) are administered using the Survivable Processor screen.
For more information on administering an LSP, see
Working with adjuncts
For the simplex main server, adjuncts that use the CLAN can use the PE interface of the main
server for connectivity to the main server. For the LSP and the ESS server, there are three
adjuncts, the CMS, AESVCS, and the CDR, that are supported using the LSP or the ESS
server's PE interface. This section provides a high-level overview of the adjuncts supported by
the ESS server and the LSP and how they are administered to use the PE interface.
Survivable CMS
●
Starting with CMS Release 13.1, you can use a Survivable CMS co-located at the site of the
ESS server or LSP. A Survivable CMS is a standby CMS that collects data from an LSP or
an ESS server when the main server is not operational or when the customer is
experiencing a network disruption. A Survivable CMS should not be located at the same
location as the main server.
During normal operations, the Survivable CMS has a connection to the ESS server or the
LSP, but does not collect data or support report users. Only the main CMS server collects
data. When an ESS server assumes control of one or more port networks, or an LSP is
active, the ESS server and/or the LSP sends data to the Survivable CMS.
