Cisco Optical Networking - Problem configuring OCHCC circuits - NCS2006k and WSE Encryption Cards

Hi everyone!

It's me again,asking about some doubt about the Cisco Optical Networking.

As follow i describe my architecture and my problem, hoping that some of you will enlighten me:

I'm having problems configuring the OCHCC circuit between my WSE cards in my NCS2006 nodes. Just to clarify, at the moment we are not in production, but we'll go there soon.

As follow i describe the architecture we have (here is the scheme: https://imgur.com/rDRihTd)

We have two physical site that has to be interconnected. In each site we have two NCS2006 that are interconnected to the other two NCS2006 in the other site. Therefore we have 2 dark fiber for the Site-to-Site connection, that are completely separated eachother. Each NCS2006 is build with 2 WSE Encryption cards in TXP-10G mode and two TSCE cards for the control plane, here is the shelf layout pic: https://imgur.com/gXvMeOr

At the moment we have both sites completely cabled, and now we are trying to configure the circuits for make them work before going to production.

We have all the TRUNK Port in IS-NR state (correctly up), but all the Client Port are in Warning state, with "SIGLOSS: Signal loss on data interface" alarm turned on, but i think it's because we didn't configure the OCHCC yet (is it correct?)

Also as the title of this post suggest, i'm having problem configuring the OCHCC crcuits between the Client ports from the two NCS in the two sites.

We have configured the PPC (Provisionable Patchcords) virtual link for the TRUNK ports. Then we tried to configure the OCHCC but we get the following error:

"EID-2192: A valid route cannot be found for the ciruit creation request"

I really don't know why we are getting this error.. Maybe i did something wrong with the PPC.. but i don't know honestly.

Just to inform you, at the moment we still don't have configured the encryption feature of the WSE cards on the trunk ports. Before enable the encryption i wanna be sure that we have at least one OCHCC circuit created that works correctly

Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long post.
