An overview of BSNL NIB-II Project1 MPLS D R NOC Pune 1
What is a Network Operations Centre A network operations center (NOC), (NOC) is an organizational unit that: Handles day-to-day monitoring of the network Serves as a point of contact for customers, internal and external Creates, processes, and sometimes resolves events that arise in the network Therefore a NOC is the central location from which an organization monitors its computer and telecommunications networks - servers, applications, routers, switches, circuits, environmental sensors etc. 2
The Model A NOC has mainly three modes of functionalities ::Input Output Process 3
Inputs Something has happened Event sources Monitoring programs (e.g. HPOV, Netcool, netsaint, etc.) 4
Outputs We have taken care of what happened. Event sinks Fixing problems, handing off other issues to be resolved by others. 5
Process The actions in the middle while and event is being worked Ticketing systems Life-cycle of an event 6
BSNL s Disaster Recovery NOC at Pune BSNL has set up a D R NOC At Pune which provides an end-to-end Disaster Recovery Solution that ensures the recovery of failed business processes when a data center is lost from service. The Disaster Recovery (DR) solution supports this requirement. The objectives of the BSNL DR solution are as follows: Restoration of production services Restoration of existing application functionality 7
Disaster Recovery : Disasters are inevitable but mostly unpredictable, and they vary in type and magnitude For an enterprise, a disaster means abrupt disruption of all or part of its business operations, which may directly result in revenue loss. The causes can be natural or human or mechanical in origin, ranging from events such as a tiny hardware or software component's malfunctioning to universally recognized events such as earthquakes, fire, and flood. Effects of disasters range from small interruptions to total business shutdown for days or months. When a disaster strikes, the normal operations of the enterprise are suspended and replaced with operations spelled out in the disaster recovery plan. 8

PMS switchover to Primary NOC Bangalore 15
Procedure for Controlled switch over ::- Check the health condition of all the systems. Disable the respective resource from the desired cluster. Stop the applications. Perform the DB conditioning in all the sub-systems in both Bangalore and Pune. Start the applications in Pune D R NOC servers. The reverse action will be performed to bring back the applications in Bangalore NOC 16
Procedure for Unplanned fail over ::- Log into Pune DB server as root for NMS and to OVSA server for PMS. Start the applications one by one by calling respective scripts. Check Pune subsystem. 17
Procedure for Recovery of Primary NOC:NOC:- Enable Bangalore NOC (D R) by following certain procedure. Install Operating System (Oracle). Install all the NMS applications. Check the connectivity between the NOCs Check Pune subsystem. Recreate the Standby DB in Pune sub-system after the Primary NOC is recovered. The standard Planned switch over procedure may be followed for making Bangalore NOC as Primary. 18
Control measures in recovery plan Preventive measures - These controls are aimed at preventing an event from occurring. Detective measures - These controls are aimed at detecting or discovering unwanted events. Corrective measures - These controls are aimed at correcting or restoring the system after disaster or event. 19
Disaster Management measures ::9 sets of 6 KVA inverters providing supply to various servers and routers. Each set of inverters consists of two inverters working on load sharing basis for enhanced redundancy. There are three ac inputs given to each and every servers from three different inverter supply to ensure uninterrupted service. Temperature rise alarm system (audio and visual) has been installed inside the server room for taking immediate necessary action in case of rise of temperature. Preventive maintenance of servers, routers and switches are being performed on each quarters in a year. Constant health checking of the servers and network elements centrally from Primary NOC for any inconsistent behavior. 2
