Adding and Deleting System Components

ViewRunner allows you to add and delete various system components including both chassis and modules. This chapter discusses the following:

11.1 Adding an LCC

New LCCs can be added manually to a Cisco 6100 Series system. This is useful when preprovisioning the node prior to physical equipment being present. Use the following steps to add an LCC:

Step 1 Open the 6100 Chassis View window for the Cisco 6100 Series system where you want to add an LCC.

Step 2 Choose Edit > Add from the Chassis View menu.

Figure 11-1: Add Chassis Menu

Step 3 Enter the Chassis ID (valid entries are 0 to 15) in the Add Chassis dialog box to add the LCC to the Chassis View, and click OK.

11.2 Deleting an LCC

To delete an LCC, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place your cursor over the top, bottom, or sides of the chassis to be deleted and right click. The menu in Figure 11-3 appears.

Step 2 Select Delete Chassis and the chassis is deleted.

When you try to delete an LCC, you receive a warning telling you that you are also deleting all configuration information as well. Click OK to continue.

Note For SC module software version 2.1.0 or later, the LIM controller module must be locked in order to delete the LCC. The Delete Chassis option is unavailable if the LIM controller module is not locked. The multiplexer chassis cannot be deleted because you cannot delete the primary SC module. For SC module software version 1.0.2, the LIM controller module does not support an Administrative State, so all LIMs in the LCC must be explicitly locked to enable the Delete
Chassis option.

11.3 Adding a Module

When you attempt to add a module in an empty slot, ViewRunner for HP OpenView displays only those modules that are allowed in the slot. To add a module to a slot, follow these steps:

Step 1 Access the 6100 Chassis View.

Step 2 Move your cursor over an empty slot and right click. The menu in Figure 11-5appears.

Step 3 Select Insert and choose the type of module to be inserted (if allowed), or accept the default module.

Note If ViewRunner for HP OpenView does not display any choices for module insertion, it means that only one type of module can be inserted in that slot. For example, ViewRunner for HP OpenView does not display a module type when you attempt to insert a module into the slot designed for a system controller. When selected, ViewRunner for HP OpenView automatically adds the only type of module allowed in that slot.

11.4 Locking a Module

For most modules, you must first lock them before deleting them.

To lock a module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Move the cursor over the ATU-C, STU-C, or LIM slot and right click.

Step 2 Select Port Properties > Configuration.

Step 3 When the dialog box displays, select the Locked option under the Administrative
State field.

If you delete LIM controller modules, however, you could interrupt subscriber calls taking place.

11.5 Deleting a Module

To delete an ATU-C or STU-C module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Move your cursor over the module slot and right click. The menu in Figure 11-6 appears.

Step 2 Select Delete Module.

Figure 11-6: Deleting an ATU-C Module

The ATU-C module is deleted. The same process is used for STU-C modules.

To delete a LIM, follow these steps:

Step 3 Move your cursor over the module slot and right click. The menu in Figure 11-7 appears.

Step 4 Select Delete Module.

The LIM is deleted.
