SVF Management and Maintenance

After an SVF system is set up, access and control devices are virtualized into one logical device. An SVF system is a virtual system, in which the parent configures and manages all member devices. The parent is managed and maintained as a common device. For example, you can log in to the parent through the console port or management port and perform a software upgrade. ASs are managed and maintained using commands on the parent. For example, you can log in to ASs through console ports of ASs, restart ASs, upgrade ASs, load and delete patches for ASs, and replace ASs.

The parent notifies the web NMS of only the alarms reported by the AS service module described in the MBR section in "O&M and Troubleshooting-Alarm Handling".
