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. These failures do not trigger a fail-over from the active to the passive server.

Manage multiple networked NuPoint Messenger systems from a common interface NuPoint is an easy to manage messaging solution that offers a web-based management console. You can manage multiple networked NuPoints from an intuitive GUI, that flattens the learning curve for new administrators.
With the web-based management console you can
Conduct Mailbox Maintenance: allows administrators to add, delete, modify and get mailbox information
Generate Reports: generate billing, line usage and speech usage reports, that help you to understand how your system is being used. The billing reports are particularly useful to customers that do chargebacks for usage such as hotels, and organizations using activity based costing for internal charge backs.
System Maintenance: allows administrators to perform cluster configuration and management of classes of service. Classes of service define the features and capabilities of a mailbox, by creating common classes of service that define the features for a particular type of user for example, a customer support employee or a sales employee you can change the features available to a group of users simply by changing the class of service once, then that change will trickle down to all users with that class of service. This makes the management of large numbers of mailboxes much simpler, and minimizes the number of changes you need to make to the system.
