The SNMP access point comprises an SNMP agent and subagent based on an open-source
Linux implementation, The NCS SNMP subagent integrates SNMP requests via the
management Access agent. Application-specified additional managed objects (MIBs) can be
dynamically added to the subagent.

SAF-Compliant NCS Services
This section briefly describes those NCS services which implement standard SAF services. For
each service an architectural overview and a functional description is given. Furthermore, a
reference to user manuals is given where you can find more detailed information.

Availability Service
The Availability Service (AvSv) provides the following functionality:
z
Leverage the SAF "System Description and Conceptual Model"
z
Honour the Availability Management Framework" API
z
Honour the SA Cluster membership Service API
z
House the MIB tables corresponding to the hardware portion of the deployment system
description which includes entity containment and fault domain hierarchy information
description which includes entity containment and fault domain hierarchy information
z
House the MIB tables corresponding to the software portion of the deployment system
description which include configuration of AMF-defined logical entities and their
relationship
description which include configuration of AMF-defined logical entities and their
relationship
z
Perform blade validation on receipt of HPI hot swap insertion events
z
Handle fault events such as HPI hot swap extraction events, threshold crossing events etc.
The AvSv maintains a software system model database which captures SAF-described logical
entities and their relationships to each other. The software system model database is initially
configured from data contained in the System Description file. Through time the system model
will modify due to changing system realities and administrative actions.

will modify due to changing system realities and administrative actions.
The SAF logical entities related in the system model include components which normalize the
view of physical resources such as processes, drivers or devices. Components are grouped into
Service Units according to fault dependencies that exist among them. A Service Unit is also
scoped to one or more (physical) fault domains. Service Units of the same type are grouped
into Service Groups (SG) which exhibit particular redundancy modelling characteristics.
Service Units within a SG are assigned to Service Instances (SI) and given a High Availability
state of active and standby.

The hardware database maintained by AvSv includes hardware entity containment information
and the hardware fault domain hierarchy. All hardware entities are represented by their HPI
entity paths. The hardware entity containment tree only includes managed FRUs which may or
may not include processor environments., and non-FRU resources which include processor
environments. The fault domain data includes dependency relationships between parent-child
entities as well as non-parent child entities. The hardware system model also includes
