4 Deployment Schemes
The UMC2 provides a unified networkwide management solution for access networks. It
can be applied to various management scenarios through multiple deployment schemes.
Centralized deployment requires only one server that runs all UMC2 processes and allows
access and operations from multiple clients.
Such server can be a physical or virtual machine, either of which is configured identically in
hardware and software. The following introduces centralized deployment on a virtual
machine as an example.
Network Scheme
The centralized deployment scheme is simple and cost-effective. However, it is less reliable
and risk resistant, and hence only applicable to small-sized networks, as shown in
Figure 4-1.

system failure.
The UMC2 provides a detailed and highly reliable hardware protection scheme to prevent
unknown risks of hardware. This ensures safe and stable operation of the system.
The UMC2 can automatically analyze the health status of current network hardware. It can
display the cause of anomalies, locate abnormal hardware, and help solve hardware failures.
Protection Mechanism
When the hardware with redundancy protection fails, its backup hardware is activated and
takes over services. This keeps the UMC2 operating system and app services free from
influence.
Protection Capability
Figure 6-1 and Table 6-1 show the protection schemes and capability of the hardware.

6 Reliability
UMC2 servers are deployed with cluster hot-standby disaster recovery to improve reliability.
If the active station fails, applications on the UMC2 are switched to the standby station,
allowing uninterrupted operation.
Protection Mechanism
In the cluster hot-standby disaster recovery scheme, the UMC2 uses the Veritas remote hot
standby technology to enable real-time data synchronization between active and standby
stations and dynamically monitor the running status of the UMC2. When the active station
fails, the protection mechanism works as follows:
u Applications are automatically switched to the standby station and the network is still
being monitored. This ensures normal operation of the system.
u When the original active station recovers, users can manually perform switching by
one click at the active station to restore the original active-standby relationship.
Protection Capability
u During short interruption, do not issue configuration data to avoid loss of such data after
heartbeat recovery.
u During long interruption, manually switch to the standby station and configure services as
needed, which will be synchronized to the active station after heartbeat recovery.
The UMC2 connects to the active and standby GNEs through a DCN. This method allows a
more reliable communication between the UMC2 and the device.
Version: A/02 75
UMC² Unified Management Control Centre V1R5 Product Description (PON)
Protection Mechanism
When an active GNE is faulty, the UMC2 can automatically switch to communicate with the
standby GNE. This ensures the UMC2 communicates properly with other NEs in the GNE
group.
Protection Scheme
Users can set a GNE group and set the active and standby GNEs in this GNE group on the
UMC2. Normally, the UMC2 forwards messages and communicates with other NEs in this
GNE group through the active GNE NE. When the active GNE fails, the standby GNE
takes over.
