This chapter describes the Lifeline management framework, which is a key
architectural aspect of the OA-780. The intent of Lifeline is to deliver a facility by
which the system can be reached remotely by at least one method in the event of
most severe failures, except power outages. This management framework has
been built to facilitate centralized management of a network of the OA-780
systems from a NOC (Network Operations Center) and deliver high levels of
manageability and serviceability to these networks. As a part from this, the Lifeline
framework also comprises health monitoring of various system components - both
hardware and software, with automated recovery procedures. When a drastic
failure condition occurs, the system switches to the Lifeline Mode, which allows
only management of the OA-780.
When the automated recovery procedures fail, the component is turned off and
flagged for attention to the system administrator.
The key success factors for a unified services platform or gateway to address the
emerging new needs of branch infrastructure are:
•
Access always available to all system management functions, independent of the
state of the system.
•
100% remote manageability, with ability to troubleshoot, fix, upgrade, and re-
configure services remotely.
•
Ability to roll out applications to all non-HQ employees on an as-needed basis.
•
Efficient, unified management of all services.
The Lifeline framework addresses the first two propositions listed above.
Note: Currently, Lifeline management framework is supported only on the OA-780.
