Device management description
Device management includes different submodules dedicated to fault, performances and configuration management. Thus it is responsible for building an inventory of the network elements, handling all the events associated to the NETCONF devices and storing their startup and running configurations in order to restore them in case of an event affecting a specific NE.
Whereas services' list and topology are maintained directly in the MD-SAL data store, Device key information, Alarms, PMs and configuration which represent a huge amount of data are stored in a specific SQL data base to avoid scalability issues.
Device management current implementation focuses on Alarm & PM management and device inventory. Configuration management has not been developed yet. The operation of the device management module implies that an SQL database is correctly installed, and set to host all the information provided by the module. The prerequisites are available in the following section: # Device management prerequisites .
