iv8/30/04 Network Management Station Installation Guide Beta Draft Confidential
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
The Network Management Station (NMS) is a dedicated Sun system on which you run software programs to configure, monitor, and control a Lucent switch network. This chapter describes the recommended hardware and required software to install the NMS.
General Requirements
Lucent requires that you use a dedicated Sun system for network management. Lucent does not support any other UNIX operating system.
NMS System Configuration Requirements
You can configure your NMS in the following ways:
Single-system NMS Configuration — Sybase and one Lucent product (NavisCore, Statistics Server, or CNM Proxy Agent) reside on one workstation.
Two-system NMS Configuration — HP OpenView and NavisCore reside on one workstation, and Sybase resides on another. This type of configuration enables Sybase to support multiple Sybase databases (NavisCore, Statistics Server, and CNM Proxy Agent).
Large-system NMS Configuration — Sybase, Statistics Server, and one other Lucent product (NavisCore or CNM Proxy Agent) all reside on one workstation. Sybase can support all Lucent server products that reside on remote systems. For this configuration, Lucent recommends the Sun™ Enterprise™ 4500 (see Table 1-1 on page 1-2).
Network Management Station Installation Guide 1-1 Beta Draft Confidential Overview NMS System Configuration Requirements
Table 1-1 lists the system configuration specifications required by the NMS for optimal performance.
In addition, your workstation(s) must be equipped with the following: •CD-ROM drive • Tape drive
You do not need the tape drive for the NMS installation because the NMS software comes on CD-ROM. However, you need the tape drive for Sybase database backups. The tape drive does not need to be directly connected to either the HP OpenView/NavisCore or Sybase NMS Servers. However, to perform Sybase backups, the database must be saved to tape and the tape drive needs to be accessible from the Sybase Server.
Lucent recommends that you use a 21-inch monitor for optimal appearance of windows and fonts in the HP OpenView/NavisCore graphical user interface.

Table 1-1. NavisCore System Configuration Requirements (Continued)
Environment System Role System Type CPUs RAM Disk(s)
The following constraints and assumptions apply to these recommendations: • Each system requires an OS disk. • The requirements above apply to NavisCore 05.00.05.00 or greater. • NavisCore / Provisioning Server includes Access Control Server (ACS) requirements. • Recommendations assume Lucent NavisCore and Provisioning Server only; additional software on a system will increase system requirements. • Recommendations assume an average of provisioning up to 10,000 circuits a day per Provisioning Server. Note: if you share a database, the larger the number of circuits provisioned a day, the greater the load on the Sybase database. • Support for higher densities will increase resource requirements. • Users include a combination of applications and end-users accessing the system; the more intensive the application or user access, and the larger the number of simultaneous logins, the greater the load on the system. • Two-disk database installation is the default. Four disk database installation is recommended if the customer has the extra disks: it will increase performance. • Lucent recommends using a two- or large-system NMS configuration for optimized network performance. • Users should be shared across NavisCore / Provisioning Server installations where multiple servers are recommended. • These recommendations are based upon performance of NavisCore software within Lucent lab environments. Customer-specific requirements may require additional resources to provide the level of expected performance. • Call Lucent NetworkCare Professional Services for quotes on custom installations and network planning.
For specific system requirements for NavisXtend™ applications, see the appropriate NavisXtend SRN.
If you need help determining which system(s) best fits your NMS configuration, contact Lucent NetworkCare Professional Services through your Account representative.
You cannot run Sybase 12.5.0.1 with less than 512-MB RAM.

Sybase Prerequisite Tasks
In this guide, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 12.5.0.1 will be referred to as Sybase 12.5.0.1.
The Sybase 12.5.0.1 relational database software program stores database information and provides backup and recovery of database files.
This chapter describes Sybase prerequisite tasks, which include: • Partitioning the second disk(s) using raw partitions • Loading the Lucent-supplied Sybase 12.5.0.1 CD-ROM and extracting the scripts • Setting up the system before installing Sybase 12.5.0.1
Before You Begin
Before you perform Sybase prerequisite tasks, verify that you: • Are following the correct NMS installation sequence (See “Installation Sequence” on page 1-10) • Have installed Solaris 8 • Have installed Solaris 8 patch(es) • Do not already have Sybase installed on your machine
You can verify if Sybase has been installed on your machine by checking to see if the /opt/sybase directory exists and/or by trying to become the Sybase user by entering the following command:
su - sybase
The procedures in Chapter 3, “Sybase Prerequisite Tasks” and Chapter 4, “Installing Sybase 12.5.0.1” utilize the Lucent script to install Sybase. If you are not using the Lucent script to install Sybase, contact Technical Assistance Center prior to installing Sybase. See “Technical Support” on page xix.

Installing HP OpenView 6.2
The HP OpenView for Sun system Version 6.2 network management software application runs in conjunction with NavisCore on the NMS. This chapter describes how to: • Set up the system • Install HP OpenView 6.2 software on the system • Disable IP Discovery • Verify the installation • Obtain information on installing HP OpenView patches
In this guide, HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) will simply be referred to as HP OpenView.
Before You Begin
Before you set up the system, verify that you: • Are following the correct NMS installation sequence (See “Installation Sequence” on page 1-10) • Have installed Solaris 8 • Have installed Solaris 8 patch(es) • Have installed Sybase 12.5.0.1 • Have installed a Sybase backup server (local, remote, or both)
Network Management Station Installation Guide 5-1 Beta Draft Confidential Installing HP OpenView 6.2 Setting Up the System
Setting Up the System
The procedure in this section includes: • Loading the Lucent-supplied HP OpenView media • Extracting the installation script from the media • Running the installation script • Setting up the system
When you run the installation script the first time, the script sets up the system by adding semaphores to the /etc/system file. A semaphore is an interprocess communication signal that indicates the status of a shared system resource, such as shared memory. The installation encounters problems if you do not add semaphores to the /etc/system file. After the script updates this file, reboot the workstation.
To set up the system: 1. Verify that you are logged in as root user. You should see a # prompt in the Xterm window. If you are not logged in as root, enter su - root in the Xterm window. When prompted, enter

Disabling IP Discovery
IP Discovery finds all IP-addressable nodes on your network and creates an object for each discovered node. Lucent switches do not respond to IP Discovery; therefore, the script disables it. See Appendix C, “IP Discovery” to re-enable IP Discovery.
Lucent does not support IP Discovery. Enabling this feature severely affects the ! performance of your NMS Server.

Defining a Static Route to the NMS
To communicate with your network and manage your switches, you must add a static route from your NMS to your gateway switch. Figure 6-5 shows a sample static route connection. When you first create the Map, the default internal network address (152.148.0.0) is displayed.
• This section assumes you have already installed the gateway switch. See the appropriate manual (B-STDX 8000/9000 Hardware Installation Guide, CBX 500 Hardware Installation Guide, or GX 550 Multiservice WAN Switch Hardware Installation Guide).
If you use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to communicate with your network, you do not have to define a Static Route to the NMS. For more information on RIP, see the NavisCore IP Navigator Configuration Guide.

Backup Procedures
This chapter describes how to: • Back up the Sybase 12.5.0.1 Server to the local backup server the first time • Perform subsequent Sybase 12.5.0.1 backups to the local backup server • Back up HP OpenView 6.2 databases • Save Sybase 12.5.0.1 and HP OpenView databases to tape • Change the SA password
The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) strongly recommends that you perform daily backups of the Sybase cascview database. For more information on Sybase 12.5.0.1 backup procedures, see the Configuration Guide Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise for UNIX.
Lucent recommends that you periodically test the integrity of Sybase and HP OpenView backups by loading the backups on a separate test Sun workstation. Also, Lucent recommends testing the recovery of switch data in the “cascview” database to ensure that it loads properly. Contact the Technical Assistance Center for specific instructions. See “Technical Support” on page xix.
You can use scripts to perform backups automatically. However, Lucent does not provide these scripts. These scripts are left to your discretion.

Network Management Station Installation Guide 8/30/047-9 Beta Draft Confidential Backup Procedures Maintaining Backup Data in OV Databases
Maintaining Backup Data in OV Databases
There are built in procedures in HP OpenView that back up the data in OV databases. As a result of this, the size of the solid.db file in path /opt/OV/var/share/databases/analysis/default keeps increasing. The default maximum size of the solid.db file is 2 GB. If the file gets larger than that, the ovdbcheck process will fail and the solid.db file will have to be recreated.
To prevent this from happening, you should do regular housekeeping to control the size of the solid.db file. To do that, do the following: 1. Trim the snmp collect data by entering: /opt/OV/bin/ovdwtrend -u ovdb -password ovdb -trim 2. Trim the event data by entering: /opt/OV/bin/ovdwevent -trim
Recreating database file
In the event that the solid.db file exceeds 2 GB and the ovdbcheck process fails, then the solid.db will have to be recreated. To reinitialize the solid.db file, do the following: 1. If the ovdbcheck process is running, stop it by entering: /opt/OV/bin/ovdbcheck -stop 2. Change the current working directory by entering: cd /opt/OV/var/share/databases/analysis/default 3. Delete current database file by entering: rm solid.db 4. Delete current database files by entering: rm solmsg.* 5. Delete current database files by entering: rm ./log/sol*.log 6.

Changing the System Administrator (SA) Password
For security purposes, Lucent recommends you change the default password (superbase) to one you define yourself. This password is similar to the UNIX root password. If you lose the SA password, you cannot log in as the system administrator.
To change the Sybase password: 1. At the # prompt, enter: su - sybase 2. Initiate an isql session by entering: isql -U sa -P
Do not forget the SA password in step 3. You need the SA password to initiate an isql session.The password must be at least six characters in length. If you enter a password with fewer characters, you will be unable to initiate an isql session. Do not enter CASCADE for the Database SA Password (it is a reserved Sybase word).

NMS Startup and Shutdown Procedures
This chapter provides manual startup/shutdown procedures. Lucent does not require you to perform these procedures because both startup and shutdown occurs automatically with the following Lucent-provided scripts (these scripts were installed during the Sybase install, see page 3-16):
/etc/rc2.d/S97sybase — Starts Sybase data server
/etc/rc2/d/S98sybase — Starts local Sybase backup server
/etc/rc0/K01sybase — Shuts down Sybase
For example, if a power outage occurs, the script /etc/rc0/K01sybase shuts down the Sybase Server automatically. When power is restored, the scripts /etc/rc2.d/S97sybase and /etc/rc2d/S98sybase restart Sybase and local backup servers automatically.
To check if you have these files, enter cd
