116 Maintenance Procedures for Avaya Communication Manager 3.0, Media Gateways and Servers
Virtual Alarms
S8300 only
The Virtual Announcement Media Module faults are managed as server alarms. In the S8300
Media Server, the Virtual Analog Angel (VAA) represents a messaging board. The VAA is a
virtual board on the G700. When the G700 reboots, the VAA senses that it has lost connectivity
with the G700, and triggers its "removal and re-insertion". The removal of the VAA causes the
AUDIX ports to go out-of-service and to return back in service when the re-insertion is complete.
An alarm of MAJOR severity is generated, indicating loss of connectivity with the G700, which
must be cleared manually. Table 33: Virtual Alarm in S8300 Media Server
on page 116
summarizes this server alarm.

The Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) board is installed in PCI-X slot 1 of the S8500 Media
Server. It monitors and reports alarms on S8500 components and software and provides control
to power on and power off the server.
