    5. NuPoint Unified Messaging Family

    6. NuPoint on MAS Differences from NuPoint Stand-Alone NP-UM on the MAS product does not support all the same features and functionality of the NP-UM standalone versions. The following standalone NP-UM features are not supported in the MAS NP-UM application: PMS Integration (Hospitality) NP TDD for the Hearing Impaired NP Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) Third party non-Mitel PBX integrations (DMG/PMG gateway integration) Only Mitel MCD or Mitel 5000 CP integrations are supported High availability configurations, such as those available with the 640E and 640 platforms Greater than 2500 mailboxes/60 Ports (1000 mailboxes/32 Ports with vMAS) Competitive TUI Emulation NP-UM database backup only (with MAS you cannot back up and restore just the NP-UM database; you back up and restore the databases of all the MAS applications at the same time).

    7. NuPoint on MAS Differences from NuPoint Stand-Alone (Cont) Other Differences in NP-UM on MAS: NuPoint Unified Messaging is licensed on a per mailbox basis. Advanced UM Enablement License is included on MAS systems MAS comes with several languages available - any of which can be selected from the MAS system administrator interface, with some changes allowed by the user through the user portal. You do NOT set or select language from within NuPoint application when deployed as part of MAS. The languages are: English American British English UK French Canadian French Parisian Dutch Spanish LAM German (with MAS 2.2) Speech Auto Attendant is only supported for the following languages: North American English (NA) British English (UK) MAS is available as a software only, as a turnkey platform, and as a virtual application (see the MAS General Information Guide for details) MAS platforms can be deployed on the LAN or on the network edge (server-gateway mode)

    8. All Stand Alone Base Software Packages include: NuPoint Calling Line ID (NP CLID): NuPoint Messenger IP uses NP CLID to pick up inbound caller information and pass it to the users mailbox End of Warning Message (EMW): EMW alerts callers that they are running out of time to complete recording their message Extended Absence Greeting (EAG): EAG allows subscribers to set a vacation greeting which can be configured to redirect callers Numeric full set: Shipped as part of the base package, this is a North American English prompt set. It replaces the mnemonic prompts with numbers For example, Press 7 to play your messages".

    9. Languages NuPoint Messenger IP is pre-configured to support two installed languages The default is North American English plus an additional language of your choice The maximum number of languages supported is 8

    10. LAN Back-up Available options: FTP server on the customer's LAN LAN backup using Microsoft Networking (mapped drive) LAN backup to USB memory stick Back-ups can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly Specific data can be selected for the backup or restore: System database Names Greetings Messages 480k per message Classes of Services

    19. NuPoint Messenger IP - Model 640 IP External RAID10 Data Store (shared) Used to store all database information, user greetings and messages There are seven drives allowing for two to fail without disruption of service Continuous System Operation (Active/Passive) Provides resiliency ensuring that there is no single point of failure CSO uses a single server (Active server) to process all the services Additional server (Passive server) remains in standby mode The transition (fail-over) time from Passive to Active server is 30 seconds Upon failover, newly active server operates at full port capacity

    20. CSO Failover Scenarios SNMP alarm and error log generated when failure occurs Events that trigger failover to stand-by server Loss of Network Connectivity / Loss of both NICs Loss of both hard drives Failure of either CPU or motherboard Loss of both power supplies Loss of access to shared storage (external RAID) Critical software failure that restarts NuPoint Messenger will trigger failover For all failure scenarios described below, the SNMP alarms and error logs are generated when the failure occurs. 1. Non-fatal hardware failures on the active server Common examples are: failure of a hard drive, failure of a NIC card, failure of a power supply. These failures do not trigger a fail-over from the active to the passive server. 2. Fatal failures on the active server for example: total loss of network connectivity, losing two hard drives, losing power, and losing access to the shared storage. These conditions trigger the fail-over to the passive server. 3. Non-fatal software failures for example: a non critical process crashed and it is restarted by the NPM master process. Non-Critical processes are the processes that are not related to the call processing. VPIM, NP Net, LAN Backup, PWG are all non critical applications. The services offered by all such processes will not be available until the PASSIVE server is made ACTIVE manually or the ACTIVE server fails, thus triggering the fail-over. 4. Fatal software failure When a critical process crashes the NPM subsystem will restart it. In between the process restarts the call processing will be stopped. After the restart the call processing resumes immediately. If a process keeps crashing, the entire NPM system is brought down. These conditions trigger the fail-over to the standby server. The number of attempts the processes is spawned varies from process to process; for example SFA is restarted up to five times. Bad software will mean the both servers will keep crashing thus the ACTIVE processing will oscillate between servers. After 3 failovers within one hour, the system will be deemed unstable and will not start NPM anymore. The section on Hardware failure describes various hardware failures in brief. Hardware failure The following subsections describe the system behaviour when hardware components fail. Any type of hardware failures triggers an SNMP alarm and causes a message to be put in the error log. Also, if alarms are raised, these will be reflected in the System Alarms menu of both the text-based and web-based consoles. However, the audible alarms provided by the MCB II box are no longer available. Power supply outage on the servers and the disk array Each server as well as the disk array have redundant power supplies. If both power supplies of a server fail, that whole server fails. This results in a fail-over. If the power supplies of both servers fail, all service is lost. If both power supplies on the disk array fail, all service is lost. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. Fan outage Each server and the disk array have redundant fans installed. If one fan fails, the other one can provide adequate cooling for the system. Service is not affected. If both fans fail on a server, this results in that server shutting down. This causes a service failover to the passive server. If both fans fail on the disk array, the system goes down, causing loss of service. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. Disk drive outage on a server If one disk drive fails on a server, that server keeps working normally and an SNMP alarm is raised. This does not cause a fail-over. If both disks fail, the server is lost and a fail-over to the passive server occurs. When a failed drive is replaced, synching is done automatically by the RAID hardware. The drives are hot swappable, meaning that service is not affected when a drive is replaced. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. Disk drive outage on the disk array If one disk fails on the disk array, the system operation is not affected. The array controller is going to rebuild the contents of the failed disk on the spare disk. The disk array generates an SNMP alarm to signal the disk failure. During the rebuild operation, the system operates normally. The rebuild operation is completely transparent to the operating system and NPM. The RAID controller rebuilds the contents of the failed disk on the spare disk, using as source the mirror of the failed disk. If, during the rebuild operation, the mirror disk used for rebuild fails, the system will be down. If another disk fails other than the mirror disk used for rebuild, the system operates normally. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. SCSI RAID outage The disk array has two hot swappable internal SCSI controllers. If one of them fails, the other one can handle the disks. The switchover between the two controllers is transparent to the operating system and NPM. An SNMP alert is generated. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. If the ACTIVE server looses SCSI connectivity to the disk array, this will cause a fail-over. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. NIC outage The network traffic of each server is carried using the two teamed NICs. The teamed behaviour is handled by a software driver in the operating system. This driver splits the network traffic between the two NICs and also monitors them for failures. If one of the redundant NICs fails, the other NIC carries all the traffic. There is enough capacity in one NIC to handle all traffic. The failover operation from one card to the other is transparent to NPM. There is no interruption to service. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. CPU/Motherboard outage If either the CPU or the motherboard of a server fails, it takes down the entire server. This results in a fail-over. If the motherboards of both nodes fail, all service is lost. These failures generate SNMP alarms, but no logs in the NPM log. L2 switch or Router outage If a both the servers are connected to a single L2 switch or the router and if the L2 switch or router fails, the entire system is disconnected and no service is available. For increased system resiliency, we recommend connecting the two NICs on each server to different L2 switches. These failures generate SNMP alarms, and the SNMP agent generates an entry in the NPM log. Precidia Ether232 outage The Precidia Ether232 box is not a redundant device. In the event that it dies, SMDI connectivity is lost. We will continue to look for a redundant alternative to this model. These failures generate no logs. SMDI connectivity can be provided using PIMG. Fail-over behaviour A fail-over occurs when the ACTIVE servers fails. The reasons for failure are described in the section above The PASSIVE server will become ACTIVE and will now handle all services. A fail-over is logged in the operating systems log and in the cluster softwares log. When the passive server detects that the active server is down, it first stops any access to the shared storage. It then initiates the fencing of the failed node. This is a procedure by which the passive server makes sure that the failed server is power cycled. The fencing is done using the ILO interface. After the fencing operation succeeds, the passive node re-enables the access to the shared storage and then takes over the IP address of the cluster. It then starts all the services, becoming the active node. The failover is logged in the passive servers log file and possibly the active servers log file (if the active server did not crash). An SNMP alarm is also sent out to mark the moment when the failover is done. General Behaviour The following are behaviours during a fail-over. 1. Any live calls into the failed server at the time of failure are affected. The callers may experience a number of symptoms: 2. Re-order tone 3. Silence followed by re-order tone 4. Any web access to the failed server at the time of failure is affected. The users may experience: 5. Page time out if the passive system is not yet active. 6. If the passive system is now active the users will need to login again as their session data has been lost. 7. Any SMTP forwarding at the time of failure (UM basic and UM+MWI) is affected. The passive server retries the failed attempts when it becomes active. Thus the mail delivery is delayed. 8. If PIMG/TIMG integration is used and these devices do not busy out the trunks that correspond to the downed ports, calls can experience ring-no-answer until the PASSIVE server becomes ACTIVE. 9. If the downed ports are busied out (this is so with 3300 integration), calls get out-of-order treatment until PASSIVE server becomes ACTIVE. 10. Attempts to access the web server will experience a temporary outage. When the PASSIVE server takes over, it would have got the ACTIVE clusters IP address, hence the URL of the web server will stay the same. Users will be able to re-login after about 2 minutes from the start of the failover. 11. If the Ether232 box is used for SMDI, the newly ACTIVE server will now process SMDI data 12 If the Ether232 box is used for PMS, the newly ACTIVE server will now process PMS communication For all failure scenarios described below, the SNMP alarms and error logs are generated when the failure occurs. 1. Non-fatal hardware failures on the active server Common examples are: failure of a hard drive, failure of a NIC card, failure of a power supply.
