To View Server Admin Objects
A Server Admin configuration object describes the configuration of a server module. A server module can be a standalone server or a server card in a chassis-based system. From this window you can also run commands related to server administration such as managing coredump files or restarting/resetting the server.
To view the list of Server Admin objects in your system, on the SBC main screen, go to Administration > System Administration > Server Admin. The Server Admin window is displayed.

Note
For 1:1 formations on AWS (supported by the Centralized mode), the Server Admin object of the EMA display results for both active and standby volumes. This is because in Centralized mode, the active and standby volumes are always synchronized with each other. N:1 formations supported by the Distributed mode are not available on the AWS platform.
For more information on Centralized and Distributed modes, refer to System - Admin.
To Edit a Server Admin Object
To edit a Server Admin object, click the adjacent radio button. The Edit Selected Server Admin window appears.

Enter Server Admin values using the following table, and click Save.
Server Admin Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Specifies the unique name of the server. |
| Actual CE Name | The instance name assigned by the user (If an instance name is not assigned, this field displays the name.) |
Coredump Profile | Select a coredump profile from the drop-down list. |
Role | Specifies the server module role. When set to Primary, it designates a server for internal processing. The options are:
|
| Device Smart Attrib | The smart control attribute value that reports disk life remaining. A value of 0 means that no overriding attribute is available. The SBC could still be using an internal value based on pre-defined settings of known disk types. If the SBC is unable to retrieve a value (reports "n/a") for Disk Life Remaining when you check hard disk status (refer to System - Hard Disk Status) you may be able to specify the integer ID number of a smart control attribute that reports the percentage lifetime used for the disk. Contact Ribbon Technical Support for assistance in determining whether there is a valid smart control attribute available on your system. |
| Modular Type | If set to 'true', the SBC uses modular DSPs. |
| Hw Type | Textual description of the SBC hardware type. |
| Pkt Port Speed | Packet port speed setting:
|
| Hw Subscription Type | For deployments running on a hardware/server environment, this parameter displays the Sonus-defined hardware type. In SBC SWe deployments, this field contains the SBC SWe subscription type.
