LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE ENCLOSED SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING USER DOCUMENTATION (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PROGRAM”) TO YOU ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THE PACKAGE(S) OR USING THE LUCENT SWITCH(ES) CONTAINING THE SOFTWARE, AND BEFORE USING THE ACCOMPANYING USER DOCUMENTATION. OPENING THE PACKAGE(S) OR USING THE LUCENT SWITCH(ES) CONTAINING THE PROGRAM WILL INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, LUCENT IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU, IN WHICH EVENT YOU SHOULD RETURN THE PROGRAM WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FROM SHIPMENT TO THE PLACE FROM WHICH IT WAS ACQUIRED, AND YOUR LICENSE FEE WILL BE REFUNDED. THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE PROGRAM BETWEEN YOU AND LUCENT, AND IT SUPERSEDES ANY PRIOR PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION OR UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

1. License Grant. Lucent hereby grants to you, and you accept, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the computer software, including all patches, error corrections, updates and revisions thereto in machine-readable, object code form only (the “Software”), and the accompanying User Documentation, only as authorized in this License Agreement. The Software may be used only on a single computer owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by you; or in the event of inoperability of that computer, on a backup computer selected by you. You agree that you will not pledge, lease, rent, or share your rights under this License Agreement, and that you will not, without Lucent’s prior written consent, assign or transfer your rights hereunder. You agree that you may not modify, reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Software or permit a third party to do so. You may make one copy of the Software and User Documentation for backup purposes. Any such copies of the Software or the User Documentation shall include Lucent’s copyright and other proprietary notices. Except as authorized under this paragraph, no copies of the Program or any portions thereof may be made by you or any person under your authority or control.

2. Lucent’s Rights. You agree that the Software and the User Documentation are proprietary, confidential products of Lucent or Lucent's licensor protected under US copyright law and you will use your best efforts to maintain their confidentiality. You further acknowledge and agree that all right, title and interest in and to the Program, including associated intellectual property rights, are and shall remain with Lucent or Lucent's licensor. This License Agreement does not convey to you an interest in or to the Program, but only a limited right of use revocable in accordance with the terms of this License Agreement.

iv12/5/03 Navis EMS-CBGX Installation and Administration Guide

3. License Fees. The license fees paid by you are paid in consideration of the license granted under this License Agreement.

4. Term. This License Agreement is effective upon your opening of the package(s) or use of the switch(es) containing Software and shall continue until terminated. You may terminate this License Agreement at any time by returning the Program and all copies or portions thereof to Lucent. Lucent may terminate this License Agreement upon the breach by you of any term hereof. Upon such termination by Lucent, you agree to return to Lucent the Program and all copies or portions thereof. Termination of this License Agreement shall not prejudice Lucent's rights to damages or any other available remedy.

5. Limited Warranty. Lucent warrants, for your benefit alone, for a period of 90 days from the date of shipment of the Program by Lucent (the “Warranty Period”) that the program diskettes in which the Software is contained are free from defects in material and workmanship. Lucent further warrants, for your benefit alone, that during the Warranty Period the Program shall operate substantially in accordance with the User Documentation. If during the Warranty Period, a defect in the Program appears, you may return the Program to the party from which the Program was acquired for either replacement or, if so elected by such party, refund of amounts paid by you under this License Agreement. You agree that the foregoing constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for breach by Lucent of any warranties made under this Agreement. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED “AS IS”, AND LUCENT DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT.

6. Limitation of Liability. Lucent’s cumulative liability to you or any other party for any loss or damages resulting from any claims, demands, or actions arising out of or relating to this License Agreement shall not exceed the greater of: (i) ten thousand US dollars ($10,000) or (ii) the total license fee paid to Lucent for the use of the Program. In no event shall Lucent be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages or lost profits, even if Lucent has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Navis EMS-CBGX Installation and Administration Guide 12/5/03v

7. Proprietary Rights Indemnification. Lucent shall at its expense defend you against and, subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere herein, pay all costs and damages made in settlement or awarded against you resulting from a claim that the Program as supplied by Lucent infringes a United States copyright or a United States patent, or misappropriates a United States trade secret, provided that you: (a) provide prompt written notice of any such claim, (b) allow Lucent to direct the defense and settlement of the claim, and (c) provide Lucent with the authority, information, and assistance that Lucent deems reasonably necessary for the defense and settlement of the claim. You shall not consent to any judgment or decree or do any other act in compromise of any such claim without first obtaining Lucent’s written consent. In any action based on such a claim, Lucent may, at its sole option, either: (1) obtain for you the right to continue using the Program, (2) replace or modify the Program to avoid the claim, or (3) if neither (1) nor (2) can reasonably be effected by Lucent, terminate the license granted hereunder and give you a prorata refund of the license fee paid for such Program, calculated on the basis of straight-line depreciation over a five-year useful life. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lucent will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind if such claim is based on: (i) the use of other than the current unaltered release of the Program and Lucent has provided or offers to provide such release to you for its then current license fee, or (ii) use or combination of the Program with programs or data not supplied or approved by Lucent to the extent such use or combination caused the claim.

8. Export Control. You agree not to export or disclose to anyone except a United States national any portion of the Program supplied by Lucent without first obtaining the required permits or licenses to do so from the US Office of Export Administration, and any other appropriate government agency.

9. Governing Law. This License Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws and under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitration proceeding in Boston, Massachusetts, USA by the American Arbitration Association.

10. Miscellaneous. If any action is brought by either party to this License Agreement against the other party regarding the subject matter hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief granted, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of arbitration. Should any term of this License Agreement be declared void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall have no effect on the remaining terms hereof. The failure of either party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches.

Overview

This chapter introduces Navis EMS-CBGX, which is a client-server architecture element management system for configuring and monitoring Lucent CBX, GX, and B-STDX switches.

This chapter contains:

• “Navis EMS-CBGX Architecture” on page 1-1

• “Navis EMS-CBGX Components” on page 1-3

Navis EMS-CBGX Architecture

Navis EMS-CBGX provides you with a graphical network map, device view, and tree-based configuration interface for managing Lucent CBX, GX, and B-STDX switches.

Navis EMS-CBGX is a fully-integrated management application that does not require a management platform such as HP OpenView. Clients on Windows or UNIX platforms interact with a series of modular components loaded onto one or more UNIX-based servers. The servers store information in a Sybase database which also supports the NavisCore management system and NavisXtend Provisioning Server.

1-2 Navis EMS-CBGX Installation and Administration Guide

OverviewNavis EMS-CBGX Architecture

As Figure 1-1 shows, Navis EMS-CBGX relies on the Sybase database created by NavisCore, interoperating with the NavisXtend Provisioning Server and Access Server. NavisCore and NavisXtend Provisioning Server components should be installed prior to Navis EMS-CBGX. For more information, see “Installation Sequence” on page 2-8.

Installing or Upgrading Navis EMS-CBGX Servers

Whether you are performing a fresh installation or upgrading from an existing installation, you must perform the following tasks before installing Navis EMS-CBGX:

• Install NavisXtend Provisioning Server software, including the Provisioning Server and the Access Server components, with which Navis EMS-CBGX interoperates.

Refer to the NavisXtend Provisioning Server User’s Guide for information about the Provisioning Server, Access Server, and CORBA software.

• Use an existing NavisCore database.

If you are migrating from NavisCore, you must perform a NavisCore database upgrade on the existing database, with the same version number as that of the Provisioning Server that is being installed. All network elements in the NavisCore database can then be managed through Navis EMS-CBGX.

Before you begin any of the installation tasks, check the Software Release Notice (SRN) for Navis EMS-CBGX for updates to the installation procedure, and review the system requirements.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• “System Requirements” on page 2-2

• “Scalability Considerations” on page 2-7

1. NavisCore and the Sybase database.

A working installation of NavisCore Release 09.01.00.00 and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 12.5.0.1 is required before installing �� .�$#��"�.Refer to the following documents:

– B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Installation Guide(Product Code: 80200)

– B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Upgrade Guide(Product Code: 80201)

– Software Release Notice for NavisCore™, Release 09.01.00.00

2. CORBA, Access Server and Provisioning Server.

Refer to the following documents:

– NavisXtend Provisioning Server User’s Guide (Produce Code: 80238)

– Software Release Notice for NavisXtend Provisioning Server

3. Install Navis EMS-CBGX servers from the installation CD-ROM.

4. Install Navis EMS-CBGX clients from the installation CD-ROM.



Installation Notes

Observe the following installation prerequisites:

• You must have root privileges in order to install any of the �� .�$#��"�

components.

• The database username used by Navis EMS-CBGX components should have administrative privileges, since some of the components need to drop/create tables during installation.

• At installation time, the working directory should be set to /cdrom/cdrom0.

• All �� .�$#��"� installation programs are graphical and require the DISPLAY environment variable to be set up correctly. You may need to enter the following command line to set this environment variable if it is not configured automatically, if you use su to obtain root access, or if you are logged into a remote host. See “Loading the Media and Setting Display Variables” on page 2-10.

• Navis EMS-CBGX servers require Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 12.5.0.1.

– Installing �� .�$#��"� software on the same system as the Sybase database is not recommended and may result in poor performance.

– Whether you are performing a fresh installation or upgrading from an existing installation, Navis EMS-CBGX requires an existing database to have been created using NavisCore.

– If you are migrating from NavisCore, you must perform a NavisCore database upgrade on the existing database, with the same version number as that of the Provisioning Server that is being installed. All network elements in the NavisCore database can then be managed through Navis EMS-CBGX.

– Sybase installation requires all the recommended patches for Solaris 8 (kernel patch level 12 or higher).

– Two-disk database installation is the default. Five-disk installation is recommended if the customer has the extra disks. Separating the Sybase databases on four disks will increase performance. The fifth disk is for the operating system.

• Contact Lucent Professional Services through your Account Representative for quotes on custom installations and network planning.

Note – For specific system configuration requirements for NavisCore and NavisXtend applications, see the appropriate Software Release Notice.



Loading the Media and Setting Display Variables

If you are installing Navis EMS-CBGX servers on different systems, you must perform the steps in this section for each server installation.

To load the media and set display variables for each server system:

1. If you are performing the installation remotely, open an xterm window and enter:

xhost +

This allows your local system to host output from another system.

2. Log on to the Navis EMS-CBGX server system as the root user and enter the root password.

3. If you are performing the installation remotely, set the DISPLAY variable to your local host system. For example, if you use C Shell, you would enter:

setenv DISPLAY <machine>:0.0

4. Insert the Navis EMS-CBGX CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

5. When the LED on the CD-ROM stops blinking, enter the following command to move to your local CD-ROM directory:

cd <cd-rom pathname>

For example, if your CD-ROM directory is /cdrom/cdrom0, you would enter:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0

6. Enter ls to view the files.

The Navis EMS-CBGX media contains the installation files listed in “InstallationOverview” on page 2-8.

Remain in this directory to run the installation scripts for the various Navis EMS-CBGX servers.

Customizing Navis EMS-CBGX

This chapter describes how to customize your Navis EMS-CBGX environment. Specifically, this chapter shows you how to:

• Create multiple instances of the Navis EMS-CBGX servers (page 4-1).

• Modify Navis EMS-CBGX Server environment variables (page 4-4).

• Stop and restart Navis EMS-CBGX servers (page 4-6)

• Manage the Trap Server (page 4-8)

• Run multiple instances of the Navis EMS-CBGX Client (page 4-10)

Configuring Additional Navis EMS-CBGX Servers

Configuring additional Navis EMS-CBGX servers enables you to scale your management architecture. This section describes how to start additional instances of Monitoring Server and Node Poll Server, and how to configure multiple installations of the entire Navis EMS-CBGX setup.

This section contains:

• “Starting Additional Instances of Monitoring and Node Poll Servers”

• “Configuring Multiple Navis EMS-CBGX Server Installations”

Note – You must be the root user to perform the operations in this chapter.


Customizing Navis EMS-CBGXConfiguring Additional Navis EMS-CBGX Servers

Starting Additional Instances of Monitoring and Node Poll Servers

This section describes how to start multiple instances of the Monitoring Server and Node Poll Server. You can start as many instances as you need, providing you configure the Access Server for round robin scheduling as described in this section.

Starting Additional Instances of Monitoring Server

You can start as many instances of Monitoring Server as you need. Before configuring additional Monitoring Server instances, you must configure the Access Server (ACS) for round robin scheduling as described in this section.

To configure the Access Server for round robin scheduling to support multiple Monitoring Server instances:

1. Open the following file:

/opt/NavisXtend/AccessServer/etc/acs.cfg

2. Edit three lines in acs.cfg to read as follows:

GET_PERIODIC_STATS=0 # command = get_periodic_stats

STOP_STATS=1 # command = stop_stats

GET_OPER_INFO=0 # command = get_oper_info

3. Save the acs.cfg file.

As a scalability guideline, each Monitoring Server instance supports a maximum of 85 to 90 simultaneous monitoring sessions. For example, in a network with 60 users each opening 2 monitoring windows, the total number of possible simultaneous monitoring sessions is (60 users × 2 sessions) 120. This example would demand the configuration of 2 instances of Monitoring Server.

When the Access Server is configured, you can start as many instances of Monitoring Server as you need, by starting the server using the following command line:

<Installation Path>/bin/NavisEMS-CBGXMonitoringServer

Starting Additional Instances of Node Poll Server

You can start as many instances of Node Poll Server as you need. Before configuring additional Node Poll Server instances, you must configure the Access Server (ACS) for round robin scheduling as described in this section.

Customizing Navis EMS-CBGXConfiguring Additional Navis EMS-CBGX Servers


To configure the Access Server for round robin scheduling to support multiple Node Poll Server instances:

1. Open the following file:

/opt/NavisXtend/AccessServer/etc/acs.cfg

2. Edit five lines in acs.cfg to read as follows:

START_POLL_ALL_CMD=0 # command = cvstartpollall

STOP_POLL_ALL_CMD=1 # command = cvstoppollall

START_POLL_SINGLE_CMD=0 # command = cvstartpollsingle

STOP_POLL_SINGLE_CMD=1 # command = cvstoppollsingle

START_PORT_POLL_CMD=0 # command = cvstartportpoll

STOP_PORT_POLL_CMD=1 # command = cvstopportpoll

3. Save the acs.cfg file.

As a scalability guideline, each Node Poll Server instance can monitor up to 1000 network nodes. To monitor additional network nodes, or in the event that you observe a degradation in performance, you should configure additional instances of Node Poll Server.

When the Access Server is configured, you can start as many instances of Node Poll Server as you need, by starting the server using the following command line:

<Installation Path>/bin/NavisEMS-CBGXNodePollServer

Configuring Multiple Navis EMS-CBGX Server Installations

You can deploy multiple Navis EMS-CBGX server installations on the same or separate systems. In either scenario, the server installations may share the same database, or access separate databases.

To create an additional Navis EMS-CBGX server installations, observe the following guidelines:

• If installing another server installation on the same system:

a. Ensure that the OS Agent Port, ACS Client Port, and ACS Server Port are unique for each installation.

b. Only one installation may have a Trap Server running, since multiple servers would use the same UDP Port.

• If installing another server installation on a separate system, the OS Agent Port should be unique for each server installation.

Managing Users and GroupsOverview

Overview

The User Administration and Security features of Navis EMS-CBGX provide group administration, user administration and security, privilege management, and network resource partitioning.

Each user belongs to a group, and each group has privileges for specific switches and maps. You define permissions for users, allowing them to access network elements (physical ports, logical ports, circuits, etc.) in one of four ways:

• View only

• Modify and view only

• Delete, modify, and view only

• Add, delete, modify, and view

You can also bind a user to a group that is different from the user’s owning group. You can define different permissions for the user for access to network elements owned by the bandied group.

• “Releasing Locks” on page B-3

• “Performance Issues” on page B-4

• “Error Messages” on page B-4

Login Issues• User unable to log into Navis EMS-CBGX

a. Verify that all the servers are running, particularly Access Server (ACS) Manager, Access Server (ACS), Provisioning Server (PS), User Admin Server (UAS), and Data Access Server (DAS).

b. Check the value of the acs_mgr_port parameter entered in the api.properties file created during the installation of User Admin Server (UAS).The path is <server install dir>/lib/nxweb/common/config. If ACS Manager is running, the value must correspond to the ACS client port. If ACS Manager is not running, the value must correspond to the ACS server port.

c. Verify that the Data Access Server (DAS) has correct database properties by checking the database port number in the database.properties file at the following location:

<DAS inst path>/lib/nxweb/servers/das/main/resBundles/

B-212/5/03 Navis EMS-CBGX Installation and Administration Guide

Troubleshooting Navis EMS-CBGX ServerInstallation and Startup Issues

Installation and Startup Issues• Is there a recommended sequence for starting the servers?

Navis EMS-CBGX servers should be started in this order:

a. CORBA

b. Access Server (ACS) Manager

c. Access Server (ACS)

d. Other servers in any order: Provisioning Server (PS), Data Access Server (DAS), User Admin Server (UAS), Node NPS, MAP, MOS, TS)

• Recommendations for installing the Navis EMS-CBGX Client

The Navis EMS-CBGX Client should not be installed on a central server machine and accessed via a Telnet session by all users. This approach renders client performance slow. We recommend that the Navis EMS-CBGX client be installed on individual user workstations.

Administrative Issues• Checking whether servers are running

Execute this command on the command line of the UNIX machine where the servers are running:


• Stopping Navis EMS-CBGX server processes

a. Execute this command on the command line of the Unix machine where the servers are running:


b. Execute the command, where <pid> is the process ID of the induvidual Navis EMS-CBGX server process you want to stop:

kill -9 <pid>

• Monitoring window stops updating

a. Verify that all instances of monitoring server are running.
