In this section:
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.

Figure 2: Edit Selected Server Admin Window
Enter Server Admin values using the following table, and click Save.
Table 1: 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 Ribbon-defined hardware type. In SBC SWe deployments, this field contains the SBC SWe subscription type.
