NMS5-LX ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSABILITIES

The Network Management System 6 has been developed by SIAE Microelettronica over the power of
the Linux operating system in order to increase performance and capabilities of network monitoring
and management.
The large amount of information involved during NMS5-LX activity is managed using the Oracle
DBMS. The NMS5-LX administrator should be aware of these three components (LINUX, Oracle and
NMS5-LX) and their properties and relationships in order to ensure the maximum throughput in
managing his telecommunication network.
The main administrator tasks, with a detailed description of each activity, follow.

1.1

Provide suitable hardware/software for running NMS5-LX

Before installing the application, you must take care that your PC is suited for the task it is proposed
for.
Running NMS5-LX in fact involves a high demand of machine resources, for graphics, database
operations, speedy event handling and general performances.
So, in order to get the best results in managing your network with NMS5-LX, the following is the
minimum configuration.

3.

CONTROLLING ACCESS TO NMS5-LX

The NMS5-LX system can be started at various operating levels; each level (in a bottom-up
sequence) gives the operator a growing visibility over NMS5-LX functionality, enabling the use of
options, procedures etc.

The NMS5-LX system has 5 operative levels:

Superuser

Privileged
Advanced
Normal
Entry

Is the administrator of the system. Only this user can create, delete or modify
users, passwords and their operating level.

These four levels are assigned with the visibility of only some of the NMS5U-LX
system functions

Review the Appendix section of the NMS5-LX users manual for complete listing of all functions
available for each level.

NMS5LX 6.3 Administrator manual MN.00143.E - 002

4.

USING GRAPHICAL MENU TO START AND STOP NMS5-LX

NMS5-LX activity takes place by mean of a pool of daemons that, interacting with each other
perform all the communications, data management and event handling tasks.
This pool of processes needs to be active to run NMS5-LX
NMS5-LX functionalities can be managed by a graphical menu present in directory
/opt/nms5ux/start
To access this application execute following commands:
cd /opt/nms5ux/start
./nmsWinMenu

If you want to use this script to start Oracle you must know password for Linux user "oracle".
If you want to use this script to start NMS5-LX you must know password for Linux user "root".

Otherwise if you just want to start NMS5-LX graphical interface you can be the Linux user you have
configured (see the last part of this document).

A graphical interface will be displayed with following items:

Start-up Functions

Shutdown Functions

Check Functions

NMS5-LX application Login

NMS5-LX Application Login Read/Only

If you select Shutdown Functions a new interface is displayed with following icons

Oracle Platform Restart (to start-up Oracle daemons)

NMS5LX Platform Restart (to start-up NMS5-LX daemons)

If you select Start-up Functions a new interface is displayed with following icons

Oracle Platform Stop (to stop Oracle daemons)

NMS5LX Platform Stop (to stop NMS5-LX daemons)

If you select Check Functions a new interface is displayed with following icons

Oracle Check Platform (to check Oracle daemons)

NMS5LX Check platform (to check NMS5LX daemons)

Select NMS5LX Application Login to start a normal NMS5-LX graphical session.

CUSTOMIZING NMS5-LX

The customisation of the NMS5-LX system consists in the re-definition of some of the parameters
used by SIAE applications.
The following tables lists some of the system parameters that might be of any interest for the
system administrator; all of them are contained in the 2 files:

/opt/nms5ux/conf/app-defaults/Nms5ux
/opt/nms5ux/conf/app-defaults/Nms5lx
In any case we suggest that modification of parameters present in these files should be done with
support of SIAE personnel.

7.

BACKING UP AND RESTORING NMS5-LX DATABASE

NMS5-LX gives the operator the possibility to save his data for security; the system stores all
information regarding network topology and equipment configuration (Oracle NMS5-LX database). In
addition, it is also possible to backup and restore the Alarm History or Performance Monitoring tables
only. It is recommended to perform a weekly backup, but take care of situations where a large
amount of changes occur in the network.
The "Database Backup"
below:

7.1

(and similarly the Alarm History backup) feature behave as described

NMS5-LX DATABASE BACKUP/RESTORE

In order to backup the system database tables contents onto the hard disk, the user has to select
the 'Backup to disk' toggle button and press the OK button which initiates the backup procedure. The
backed up files are created in the directory shown in the window.
In order to restore the Alarm History select the relevant menu item and enter a the filename as
requested; for the NMS5-LX database files (tmn5ux database and OV files) you should follow these
steps:
login as root
stop NMS5-LX platform processes
change directory /usr/tmn5ux/manager/tools
execute ./TmnDbRestore
restart NMS5-LX platform processes
you don't need to be "root" any more
restart the graphical application

8.

RESETTING NMS5-LX DATABASES

The following procedure gives the NMS5-LX administrator the ability to recover an abnormal
situation when a complete reset of the whole network is necessary.
N.B.: Following commands completely delete all NEs present in network.

Execute commands:
cd /opt/nms5ux/start
./nmsWinMenu

stop NMS5-LX Platform (see chapter 4 for details in using nmsWinMenu application)

As Linux user root execute the following scripts sequence and monitor possible malfunctions
(failure in dropping database tables is not to be considered as an error):
./nms5ux_createdb.sh

Execute commands:
cd /opt/nms5ux/start
./nmsWinMenu

restart NMS5-LX Platform (see chapter 4 for details in using nmsWinMenu application)
login in NMS5-LX graphical application form nmsWinMenu (call SIAE to get the first
login and password) and create a new Nms5-LX User (Menu Option->System
Users) related to Linux user nms5ux with privileged Superuser associated to map
nms5ux.

Log out; from now on, you can log into your Linux system as nms5ux user and run NMS5LX by entering the following command:
cd /opt/nms5ux/start
./nmsWinMenu

login in NMS5-LX graphical application (see chapter 4 for details in using nmsWinMenu
application)

9.

TROUBLESHOOTING

During NMS5-LX system use each operator should pay close attention to the tasks he is performing
so in the case of a problem, it is possible to recover the system as soon as possible.

In any case it is absolutely necessary to clearly identify the particular application that is currently
causing the problem: Oracle database, NMS5-LX managers or base platform processes.

This kind of skill cannot be automatically achieved; a lot of experience needs to be gathered to
understand NMS5-LX architecture, interpreting log files and contacting SIAE.

The next sections and descriptions can be the starting point in NMS5-LX architecture comprehension.
Please pay close attention to them.

In case of a problem, you are kindly requested to give SIAE precise and clear information in order to
minimize response time.
First of all, try to discriminate between the nature of the problem; if you suspect the trouble is a
bug,

Try to reproduce the malfunctioning situation

Compile and send a detailed customer trouble report

The clearer the problem description, the quicker SIAE will be able to provide a patch to resolve the
problem.

If you find problems regarding base processes or communication with network elements

Identify the specific process that is faulty using nmsWinMenu NMS5LX check
processes function

Try to recover for example stopping and restarting base processes

If this is unhelpful please store HPUX and the NMS5-LX log files in a tape and send them to SIAE for
examination, using procedure
su - root
cd /opt/nms5ux/tools
./save_nms5ux_log
then send SIAE the files NMS5.LOG.Z and TMN5.LOG.Z

SAVING NMS5-LX INSTALLATION

The recommended procedure to backup the NMS5-LX installation is the same that SIAE uses to
provide the DVD labeled Complete LINUX/ORACLE/NMS5-LX Installation DISK.
The application used to execute this procedure is Mondo Rescue which is a SW freely distributed
according to the GPL (GNU Public License).
To create a new DVD to save PC installation execute following steps:

Insert a new DVD in the DVD +/- RW device

Using YaST - Hardware - CD-ROM drives find the /dev/hdx associated to that device

Stop both NMS5-LX and Oracle platform using nmsWinMenu application

As Linux user root execute the command:

mondoarchive -OVr -d /dev/hdx -gF -s 4200M
