name | This parameter indicates the name of the configuration provisioning profile to apply. The profile options are: |
large - the profile that is applicable to the VM RAM >extrasmall – applicable when the VM RAM is between 6 and 10 GiBlarge – applicable when the VM RAM is >=18 GiB
|
small - (Default) the profile that is applicable to largeuseracl – applicable when the VM RAM is >=
|
- 18 GiB (supports up to 10,5926 IP ACLs)
small (Default) –
|
extrasmall - the profile that is - applicable when the VM RAM is
|
| When an instance comes up in an environment which has between 6 and 10 GB of memory, the value for sweConfigProfileSelection is automatically set to extrasmall. It is not valid to reconfigure a deployment from one of the larger sizes (small, large, or |
|
largeuseracl) to the extrasmall size. |

- The memory values represent actual memory allocated to the VM. When provisioning a VM on KVM, VMware, and OpenStack platforms, the VM allocated memory is less than the provisioned memory (from dashboard/template/flavor) by a factor of 1.024. Therefore, you must increase the provisioned memory appropriately. For example, if the VM provisioned memory is 10GB, the VM is allocated with 9.76GB of memory.
- If the SBC VM is provisioned with 10 GB memory, the memory available for session handling is very less. You must provision additional memory for the VM to handle more sessions.

SBC N:1 Deployments
Activation of the SBC SWe Config profile from OAM is supported from SBC 9.0 onwardonwards.
For extra small deployments, start up the SBCs as well as the OAM with <10GB <10 GB Memory. The default activated profiles of the SBC SWe config profile based on memory are provided in the following table:

0Table | 1 | SBC SWe Config Profile Based on Memory
The following table shows the SBC SWe Config profiles based on memory.
| RAM on SBC and OAM | SWe Config Profile |
|---|
| < 10GB | extrasmall |
| >=10GB | small |
On the SBC, activate the SWe config profile using a manual reboot of all the managed SBCs under an OAM. For extrasmall deployments, all of the nodes in a redundancy group under an OAM node must be are extrasmall. That is, a separate OAM node is required to manage extrasmall nodes.
The OAM does not validate the H/W(Memory) resources on the SBC while activating a config profile. Therefore, ensure that adequate resources are provided to the SBCs for activating a config profile.
The OAM does not require a reboot for activation of config profile.
If you activate an SBC SWe config profile from the OAM, which requires a higher than available H/W resources on the SBC, it raises the alarm sonusConfigProfileActivationNotification with the corresponding failure reason.
Recovery Steps
Scenario 1: Attempt to downgrade the SBC SWe config profile
An attempt to downgrade the config profile raises the alarm sonusConfigProfileActivationNotification, with the corresponding reason of failure. Reboot of the SBC is required to recover. Upon reboot, the SBC starts up with the unchanged SweConfigProfile, rejecting the downgrade request from the OAM.
Example:
If the initial SweConfigProfileSelection configuration on the SBC and the OAM is large and the
user operator commits and activates a small SBC SweConfigProfileSelection on the OAM, the SBC raises the failure alarm.
Upon When you reboot
of the SBC, the application starts up with the large configuration rejecting the small configuration as seen from the OAM.
To downgrade the SweConfigProfile from large to small, rebuild the SBC. In such scenarios, the SBC starts up with the small configuration, honoring the configuration from the OAM.
Scenario 2: Error due to requirement of hardware resources
| Info |
|---|
|
On the OAM, downgrading the SweConfigProfile from large to small is supported for recovery of the SBC instances. |
- On the OAM, activate the SweConfigProfile as small.
- Reboot all the SBCs under the OAM. Do not reboot the OAM.
The SBC starts up with the small config profile.pagebreak
