The standby MSC Server: we can also call it disaster recovery server, it is
used to backup the data and service for the active server;
The virtual MSC Server: the disaster recovery MSC Server is logically
partitioned into N+1 virtual MSC Servers. The virtual MSC Servers are
identified according to Server indexes. Server 0 always serves its own node
while others respectively serve as N (the number of virtual Servers except
Server 0) standby MSC Servers.

In DH solution, one MGW is homed to two MSC Servers. When the active MSC Server becomes faulty, the MGW
registers with the standby MSC Server so that the subscribers can still enjoy services. So that we can say, it
improves the networks reliability.
When an active MSC Server is going to be moved or upgraded, you can manually transfer its services to the
standby MSC Server. It improves the services continuity.

During the DH switching, MGW will change the registered Server. The
resource will be provided by this MGW. All calls, being processed by the
original active MSC Server, will be interrupted. The MGW reclaims all
resources;
During the DH switching or backward, the MSC Server, which will take
over services, initiate reset to the trunk group. Then, terminals
(including callers and callees) will be released .

Configure active N7DSP, N7LKS, N7RT and N7LNK for virtual MSC

Configure standby N7DSP, N7LKS, N7RT and N7LNK for other virtual
MSC Server nodes.

The Homing Server of M2UA link sets and links are determined
by ESG.
If the ESG is homed to virtual Server node 0, the link sets and
links of M2UA are in charge of virtual Server node 0. Proceed as
follows to implement the M2UA configuration:
Configure active ESG, M2UA link sets and links for virtual Server node 0.
Configure standby ESG and M2UA links and link sets for other virtual Server
nodes.
Configure one M2UA link set for the MGW (embedded ESG). The link set
contains two links, one of which is connected to an active MSC Server and the
other is connected to a standby MSC Server.
Configure an M2UA link on the MGW (embedded ESG). Then the M2UA link set
makes the link be managed by the virtual Server node that manages itself.

Summary
MGW associate with the virtual node index directly. The MCLNK associate
with the virtual node by the MGW it belongs to.
BSC, RNC and LAI/GAI and so on associate with the virtual node by the
local information that OPC belong to.
ISUP, TUP, PRA, R2 office direction associate its virtual node by the media
gateway that trunk group belong to.
BICC office direction associate with the virtual node by the BICCSCTPLNK.

Every virtual MSC Server has its own mobility data, such as RNC,
BSC, LAI/GCI. So after the DH switch, if the MSC Servers signaling
sub system can be active, then the update location in virtual MSC
Server/VLR can completed successfully. For example, in the picture,
one terminals location update from LAI5 to LAI4.
Be more careful about the location update flow between the virtual
MSC Server/VLR. For example, the terminals location update from
LAI4 to LAI3.

VLR initiates the location update to the HLR to inform the HLR the
subscribers location. It can use necessary method (inside
implement), so to avoid the conflict between the flow of insert data
and delete data; The data configuration just like in normal situation.
The inside implement is used to adapt the change of DH switch.

After the DH Switching, the handover between two virtual Server is inter-MSC

In ADD LAIGCI/LAISAI the type of LAI in to-be-taken-over virtual node
should be configured as local VLR LAI.

The caller MS belongs to MGW1, the called MS belongs to the MGW2. After
DH switching, the MGW1 and the MGW2 are also intra-office circuit. So, it is
impossible to establish mesne bearing. The call can not be separated in
logic. Before DH, it is intra-office call, if we dont differentiate different
virtual nodes roaming number prefix, then, after DH, it will become intraoffice call. In local information, if we assign roaming number according to
MSC/VLR, then the roaming number in two virtual nodes can be separated.

In the N+1 backup DH network, to perform the auto switch, use the
command SET DHWM to set Work mode of all nodes to
Assistant, Switch mode to Automatic, and Takeover mode to
Auto takeover. Then if any active MSOFTX3000 is faulty, and the
heartbeat link is interrupted, the standby MSOFTX3000 will auto
take over all services.
NOTE:
Page58
Carry out the command SET DHWM on the active MSC Server, and
set the status of the active Server node 0 to Deactivated. Then,
carry out the command SET DHWM on the standby MSC Server,
and set the status of the proper virtual Server node to Activated.
Thus, services of the active MSC Server are taken over by the
corresponding virtual Server node on the standby MSC Server.
NOTE
In addition, before the DH manual switch, make sure that the standby
MSC Server works normally. Otherwise, services will be interrupted after
the manual switch.
Page59
After switched to a standby MSC Server, the active MSC Server will
auto switch back and take back all services from the standby MSC
Server, if it is recovered and restarted, and its heartbeat link is
recovered.
Before the DH switch, use the command SET DHWM to set Work
mode of all virtual Server nodes to Assistant, Switch mode to
Automatic, and Takeover mode to Auto backward. Then, when
the active MSC Server recovers, all services can auto transfer from
the standby MSC Server to the active MSC Server.
Page60
Carry out the command SET DHWM on the standby MSC Server,
and set the status of the standby virtual Server node to
Deactivated. Then, carry out the command SET DHWM on the
active MSC Server, and set the status of the active virtual Server
node 0 to Deactivated. Thus, the virtual Server node 0 takes back
all services from the standby MSC Server.
NOTE: Before the manual backward, make sure that the active MSC
Server recovers. Otherwise, services will be interrupted after the
manual backward.
