TJ5100 R6.1 Installation and Commissioning Guide Document ID: 400-DOC000090-E
Standalone Mode
In standalone mode, you can have only one instance of TJ5100/TJ5500 running on one physical
server. The number of NEQs supported by one instance of TJ5100/TJ5500 depends on the
hardware and software configuration of the physical server. The hardware requirements such as
RAM, HDD/RAID, and CPU Cores (with two sockets per processor) increase when the number
of NEQs that need to be managed increases.
In virtualization mode using VMWare ESX Server, you can install more than one instance of
TJ5100/TJ5500 on a physical server. This mode supports virtualization of RAM, HDD/RAID,
and CPU Cores in one physical server by dividing the server into multiple virtual servers. Using
this technology, you can run different server applications such as TJ5100, TJ5500, or any other
third party software on a single physical server as though they are independent servers. However,
the hardware and software requirements have to match the standalone mode, for each instance of
TJ5100 or TJ5500.

Multiple Standalone Modes
You can have multiple standalone TJ5100 installed on a single blade center installing multiple
blade servers.
NOTE: In standalone mode, one instance of TJ5500 can manage only up to a maximum of
ten instances of TJ5100 or 30,000 NEQs whichever is higher.
Clustering mode is to scale NMS to manage beyond 30,000 NEQs and up to 60,000 NEQs. In
clustering mode, two physical servers work as one logical server. One physical server is used to
run the database and the second physical server is used to run the application. Database and
Application servers are components of the TJ5500 Network Management System.
17
TJ5100 R6.1 Installation and Commissioning Guide Document ID: 400-DOC000090-E
NOTE: In clustering mode, one instance of TJ5500 can manage only up to a maximum of
twenty instances of TJ5100 or 60,000 NEQs whichever is higher. To support more than
60,000 NEQs or more than twenty TJ5100 instances, you need to have multiple TJ5500
instances.
In co-residency mode, you can have both TJ5100 and TJ5500 installed on the same server. The
hardware and software requirements for such installation has to be double the capacity of a
standalone TJ5100 server or a standalone TJ5500 server. The hardware requirements such as
RAM, HDD/RAID, and CPU Cores (with two sockets per processor) increase when the number
of NEQs that need to be managed increases. For TJ5100 server software and hardware
requirements refer Server System Requirements. For TJ5500 server software and hardware
requirements refer "Chapter 3: Hardware/Software Requirements" of the document TJ5500
Installation and Commissioning Guide, TPN: 400-DOC000084-E.
In Hot Standby Mode, the active EMS/NMS setup can be replicated exactly to provide disaster
recovery. The server requirements should be exactly the same as for the active setup based on the
NEQ calculation.
18
Chapter 2 Understanding Hardware and Software Requirements
Components Specifications
NOTE: For Hot Standby setup, you need to have two servers with same requirements as
mentioned in the above table. After installation of OS compare the Mozilla, Java and MySQL
versions with recommended versions. If the version is different, un-install the default versions
before installing the recommended versions.
19
TJ5100 R6.1 Installation and Commissioning Guide Document ID: 400-DOC000090-E

Chapter 5 TJ5100 R6.1 Server Installation
NOTE: Configuring Hot Standby in different subnet does not require a virtual IP address.
Logging in to the EMS can be either through IP address of Master or the Slave.
Post-Installation Tasks
Complete the following tasks after installing EMS and before starting/launching EMS:
EMS client with multiple IPs (multi-homed client) running on Windows OS should be
configured to use the correct IP as the first one to reach the server. Changes in hosts file do
not affect the binding order of network interfaces. To change the network binding order you
need to edit network settings as instructed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564. Once this is done, network binding happens in the
specified order and the desired IP is considered first for connection to the server.
Update the EMS servers /etc/hosts file with the clients' IP addresses, client Name and IP
addresses of the Hot Standby servers.
To disable SELinux, go to /etc/selinux file, type vi config and press Enter. Set
SELINUX=disabled and save the file.
To prevent auto-login to the node page (when launching node view from EMS GUI), run the
script ModifyProperties.tgz after the EMS installation.
For mapping profile to the user, following script is required to be executed after installation
and services running on the server:
java -cp /opt/ems/release/ems.jar:/opt/ems/release/libs/*:/opt/ems/release/data/
com.tejas.ems.common.security.PopulateProfile
In order to login to EMS using Firefox ESR 38.8.0, following soft links are required to be
created:
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_66 /jre/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_jni.so
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_66 /jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
NOTE: For a 64 bit machine, these soft links are required to be created in the corresponding
/usr/lib64 folder.
Do the following configurations to receive SMS alert when EMS is installed on a VM server:
Changed device to /dev/ttyS0 in /etc/kannel.config file
port /dev/ttyS0 : same as port on which VM server is connecting to host server
baudrate 38400 (based on RF modem support)

EMS NMS
TJ5100 R6.1 TJ5500 R6.1
Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines must be considered when EMS and NMS is installed in co-residency
mode:
If you force EMS to switchover, NMS is also forced to switchover and vice versa.
If TJ5100 and TJ5500 is installed separately on same server, the service will be emsnms i.e.
co-residency mode.
If EMS is already installed and you are installing NMS, then if EMS is in Hot Standby mode,
the NMS will also get installed in Hot Standby mode with the same set of Server IPs and vice
versa.
If EMS is already installed and you are installing NMS, then if EMS is in non-Hot Standby
mode, then the NMS will also get installed in non-Hot Standby mode and vice versa.
When EMS and NMS are installed in co-residency Hot Standby mode, if you start EMS or
NMS, both EMS and NMS will be started. Similarly, if you stop EMS or NMS, both EMS
and NMS will be stopped.
In Co-Residency mode, both same subnet and different subnet IPs for Hot Standby mode
are supported.
The MySQL password of both master and slave servers should be same in the case of Hot
Standby mode.
NMS does not support 1:N Hot Standby configuration.
In EMS credentials window, for Hot Standby in Different Subnet, only two IPs are shown
since only 1:1 configuration is supported.
While managing EMS from NMS, the user cannot add Hot Standby EMS in same subnet by
giving the virtual IP as HAIP.
Installation Procedure
Perform the steps given below to install both TJ5100 and TJ5500 simultaneously on the same
sever (co-residency mode).

Chapter 5 TJ5100 R6.1 Server Installation
Points to Remember
Ensure the following when installing TJ5500 and TJ5100 in Hot Standby mode on same
machine:
Virtual IP: It must be non-pingable IP in the LAN. The virtual IP for TJ5100 and TJ5500 in
Co-residency mode on the same machine must be different. Also, TJ5500 on Master and
Slave servers must have same Virtual IP address and same is applicable to TJ5100.
Hot Standby machine IPs/Names: IP Address or hostname of the servers in Hot Standby
mode. In co-residency mode, TJ5500 installed on different servers must have the same IP
addresses/hostnames.
Priority: Priority assigned to the servers in Hot Standby mode. The value range from 1 to 10.
10 is the highest priority value.
Password for EMS user on the machine.
MAC Address of the NIC used for Hot Standby: MAC Address of the ethernet interface
(eth0/eth1) on the server in use. In co-residency mode, the ethernet interface for TJ5100 and
TJ5500 is same. Hence, the MAC address of the ethernet interface to be entered in EMS and
NMS installation remains the same.
Ethernet Interface: Ethernet Interface (eth0/eth1) which ever is being used by machine. To
check the ethernet interface of the server machine being used for Hot Standby mode, type
the command /sbin/ifconfig. TJ5100 and TJ5500 installed on same server must have same
Ethernet Interface value.
Ethernet Interface Alias Number: The value is in number 1, 2, or 3 or more. TJ5500 and
TJ5100 installed in co-residency mode on same machine must have a different alias number.
Also, TJ5500 on Master and Slave server must have same Ethernet Interface Alias number
and same is applicable to TJ5100.

For example,
server 192.168.132.181 # NTP Server IP address
For example, see the following figure:
NOTE: If you list multiple NTP server IP addresses, the one at the top level will have highest
priority. If the server with highest priority is not reachable, then, the system will try to reach
the server with next highest priority.

You can also use the GUI to add the NTP server IP address. To use the GUI, click Add, enter
the NTP server IP, and click OK. The system will try to connect with the NTP server and update
the /etc/ntp.conf file. For example, see the following figure:

Chapter 7 NTP Chaining
You can add up to 5 NTP servers in the order of priority from higher to lower, as seen the
Figure below.

The field values in the status output are described in the following table:
Field Description
* Indicates the NTP server to which the client is currently synchronized.
remote The IP address or DNS name of the remote server.
refid An identification of the type of the reference clock.
when The number of seconds since the server was last heard from. After a couple of minutes
of operation the server should start to report numeric values here.
poll The current polling interval in seconds. When remote servers are responding, "when"
should not be greater than "poll".
delay The recent average round trip time in milliseconds from request to response.
offset The estimated differential between your system clock and the time server's clock, in
milliseconds.
jitter A measure of the variability of the delays between request and receipt of a response, in
milliseconds. High jitter tends to limit your server's ability to synchronize accurately.
