The recovery of the failed VSR-NRC process is as follows.
- The recovered VSR-NRC assumes the role of None, meaning it is
neither active nor standby, until the global channel is successfully established
from the NRC-P. In this state, it does not accept a CPROTO SYNC channel from its
mate VSR-NRC.
- After successfully opening a global CPROTO channel, NRC-P sends a notify message
(wscIsActive=FALSE, mateAddr, matePort) to the recovered VSR-NRC to request
transition to standby role.
- The recovered VSR-NRC then accepts the CPROTO SYNC channel from its mate and
prepares the mate copy DBs to accept the updates from its mate VSR-NRC.
- VSR-NRC sends to NRC-P a notify reply message (notifyReply=TRUE) to accept the
standby role assigned by NSP.
- The newly standby VSR-NRC notifies the local PCE process to set the PCEP
overload to ON.
- NRC-P keeps this global CPROTO channel alive by sending KAs at regular
intervals. No other service CPROTO channel is created while this VSR-NRC is in
standby role.
- NRC-P does not automatically revert the active role to the recovered VSR-NRC. A
manual reversion procedure is supported. See Manual Switchover to the Mate VSR-NRC for the reversion
procedure.
