Harmonic ELECTRA VS - Simulation Tab; Purpose; Operating Instructions

Electra VS - Version 05.10 213
User Manual - Rev. A
Simulation Tab
Purpose
Simulation is used to determine the number of nodes and licenses
required when designing a new Electra VS or increasing the number of
jobs on an existing system.
When the simulation is satisfactory, you can export it and send it to
Harmonic representative to order.
Operating Instructions
Simulation involves several steps:
1. Creating a simulation.
2. Defining an hardware configuration.
3. Launching the jobs.
4. Adding hardware resource to enable job processing.
5. Checking the Fail-over.
6. Exporting the simulation, as required.
7. Determining the licenses required for job processing.
8. Quitting simulation mode.
These steps are described in the next sections.
 In simulation mode, the GUI no longer represents the actual
state of Electra VS, but is dedicated to the simulation.
If you want to continue to supervise the Electra VS during the
simulation, it is necessary to open a new GUI.
 The simulation is not saved in the equipment.
