Notes:
This procedure requires the creation or modification of a single resource
configuration file for each USRM.
Configuration files should be located in the /opt/usrm/ConfigFiles directory.
Configuration files can be modified/created ahead of time and executed during
a maintenance window.
The basic flow of the process is as follows.
1 Create the configuration file for the QAM resources and service groups for each

Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a configuration file similar to the
following file for each USRM. The configuration file should be prepared in advance
for each USRM. The file name used in this example is just a suggestion. However, if
other names are used, you should choose a descriptive file name that ties it to an
individual server.
The Qams_Servername.txt file will serve as the QAM provisioning file for a USRM. It
The Qams_Servername.txt file will serve as the QAM provisioning file for a USRM. It
is a list of all QAMs along with the service group assignment per QAM port.

Cisco recommends that this file be used as the basis for managing all QAMs on the
USRM. Any further QAM additions or deletions should be appended to or removed
from this file. The USRM has an AutoConfigFileName field on the Platform -
ConfigManager - Configuration Files page. If a configuration file's filename is
entered in this field, the USRM automatically runs this file any time the file is
modified (change to the date/time stamp). One caveat, however, is that a QAM will
not be automatically removed from a USRM by removing it from this file. To remove
a QAM from a USRM, follow the instructions provided in the deleting resources
section.
The following example shows how to add a GQAM configured with service groups
The following example shows how to add a GQAM configured with service groups
5 and 15 on ports 1 and 2 respectively, and ports 3 and 4 unassigned, to a USRM.
This file also assigns service group 5 to zone 1 and service group 15 to zone 0. This
example file can be used as a template for any number of service groups by simply
creating additional resources and appending them to the list.

Note: If zones are not being used, the section beginning with "Object SdvSm"
containing all of the zone information can be left out or, alternatively, can be left in
with all service groups assigned to zone 0.
