Use this section to set up the Alarm Origination Manager (AOM) on the CMS server. The aom_tool is used to configure AOM. You can use the AOM feature to enable alarming to Avaya and this capability is available only for CMS servers with a current maintenance agreement in effect. You can optionally use AOM to send SNMP alarms to customer provided Network Management Systems (NMS). You can enable SNMP alarms to a customer provided NMS even if a current Avaya maintenance agreement is not in effect.

Prerequisites

Before you set up AOM, perform the following tasks:

• Obtain an Alarm ID number and Sold To Functional Location (FL) number. You can obtain an Alarm ID by registering the CMS server. You can register a CMS server using the Avaya Global Registration Tool (GRT) tool at https://support.avaya.com/grt. If you cannot register the system using the GRT tool, call 1800-242-2121, extension 15265, for assistance. If the system does not have an Avaya maintenance agreement in effect and you are going to configure optional SNMP alarming in a customer NMS, accept the default values that are pre-populated.

  Note:

  During AOM configuration, use the Alarm ID referred to here as the Alarm ID and use the Sold To Functional Location (FL) number as the Customer ID.

• Log on as root.

  Important:

  You cannot directly log on as root from a remote connection. You must log on using an administered CMS user ID, then use su - root to log on with root privileges.
