4 Reliability Design
4.1 Hardware Redundancy Design
In order to ensure reliability, RNC rack and shelves adopt dual-power-supply, and theconnection cables in RNC rack are at least dual-mode. At the same time, RNC provides1+1 backup for the key boards such as: ROMB, CLKG, RCB, UIMC, GIMU, CHUB, PSN,GLI, and RUB adopts load-sharing method, which is named redundancy resource pool.
And each of the interface boards adopt 1+1 backup or load-sharing. The entire systemperformance will not be affected if individual board has fault.
4.2 Software Reliability Design
RNC software subsystem adopts high reliability design. Besides the external operationand maintenance ports, which are protected by internal firewall software, RNC internalcommunication in whole system is entirely isolated. So RNC can detect and defendagainst the network security attacks. At the same time, the OMM subsystem supportspowerful user authentication functionality; the idea is that system will distribute relevantoperation permission according to user name and password.
RNC software system has powerful self-fault-tolerant capability, mainly reflected in:
Automatically checking the legitimacy of data configured by user, refusing wrong or
unreasonable data configuration and informing user to modify
Supporting key version and data backup, and performing rollback when version or
data loading failed
Supporting “watch dog” functionality, resetting the boards when software going
wrong and recording the failure information by black box function
Detecting the failure of ports, link and SW/HW, resetting/triggering backup unit to
guarantee system running normally
