Upgrade from Previous Release
Health Monitoring is supported as of FOXMAN-UN R17A.
Health Monitoring is supported for networks running system releases R16B and up. However, the following restrictions apply:
Networks running system release R16B:
• SENC1 units don’t support metrics “SFP Input Power”, “SFP Output Power”, SFP Temperature”.
• SENC1 units don’t support metrics “RX Errors”, “TX Errors”, “RX Throughput”, “TX Throughput”.
• SAMOx units don’t support metrics “SFP Input Power”, “SFP Output Power”, SFP Temperature”.
Networks running system release R17A:
• SENC1 units don’t support metrics “RX Errors”, “TX Errors”, “RX Throughput”, “TX Throughput”.
• SAMOx units don’t support metrics “SFP Input Power”, “SFP Output Power”, SFP Temperature”.
Please note:
When upgrading FOXMAN-UN from a previous system release to R18, existing PM Collector jobs may collect counters that will also be collected by the dedicated ‘HEALTH_MONITOR’ job once Health Monitoring is started on NEs. In general, this is not a problem; however, to save performance and DCN bandwidth, it is recommended to delete obsolete PM jobs.
If Health Monitoring is active on FOXMAN-UN R17A before upgrading to R18, it is recommended to stop Health Monitoring and restart it on the relevant NEs after upgrading to R18. This ensures that newly supported units introduced in R18 are properly included in the monitoring process.
