Converting a Service from Control to Management Plane
Ownership
In some cases it is relevant to use the control plane capabilities to automate the difficult
process of initial provisioning, and then decide whether to continue to monitor the service
using control plane capabilities over time. For example, it may be desirable to temporarily
suspend ongoing control plane activity for some reason (e.g. to enable some significant
maintenance operation on the DCN), while not affecting transport traffic. This can also be
relevant in connection with software upgrade/downgrade, or in general where the user
wishes to place transport services under direct control of the management plane (e.g.
NMS/EMS) for some administrative reason.
Transferring a service from control plane to management plane ownership can be
achieved through use of the "abandon" feature. Abandoning a service causes the control
plane entities relating to a transport service to be removed from the network (e.g.
connection entities), but leaves the corresponding data plane entities intact (e.g. cross-
connects and facilities remain).
This section describes how to convert a Tunnel from control plane management to
ownership by the management plane.
Step 1 Open the Tunnels WDM window by selecting Control Plane > CP-WDM >
Tunnels WDM.
Step 2 From the list of Tunnels that is displayed, find the Tunnel that you wish to
transfer from control plane to management plane ownership.
You can use the search function to search for the Tunnel by its name.
Alternatively use the controls to page up and down, or to the top or bottom of
the list.
Step 3 Select the new Tunnel.
In response, the Tunnel facts window displays.
Step 4 Set the administrative state to Pre Post Signalling using the Admin State
drop-down list.
In response, the displayed window content changes.
Step 5 Select the Abandon check box.
This indicates that control plane management of the Tunnel shall be
abandoned, but the data plane provisioning done for the Tunnel shall be kept.
If you do not place a check mark in the Abandon check box, the Tunnel will be
deleted both from the control plane and the data plane.
Step 6 Select [Apply] to start the process.
During the process, the message “Tunnel teardown in progress...” will appear
in the State tab window, and remain displayed until the activation is
completed.
