Starting your OCSLB

Oracle Communications Subscriber-Aware Load Balancer (OCSLB) is supported on the platforms listed for this version. Find installation information about those platforms in this Session Delivery Product version's Platform Preparation and Installation Guide. The OCSLB also requires that you take several steps after installation before you can configure the product.

Critical steps you cannot bypass before configuration include:

  • Setting system passwords
  • Setup product
  • Setup entitlements (Reboot required after all entitlement changes)

Prior to configuring your OCSLB for service, we recommend that you review the information and procedures in the Getting Started chapter of this software version's ACLI Configuration Guide. This chapter offers information that help you:

  • Review hardware installation procedures
  • Connect to your OCSLB using a console connection or SSH (secure shell)
  • Become familiar with the OCSLB's boot parameters and how to change them if needed
  • Set up product-type, features, and functionality
  • Load and activate a OCSLB software image
  • Choose a configuration mechanism: ACLI, Oracle Communications Session Element Manager or ACP/XML
  • Enable RADIUS authentication
  • Customize your login banner
