Chapter 1 - Overview of NMS

Overview of ZXONM E300


The Unitrans ZXONM E300 is a unified NE and subnet management system
(EMS/SNMS) of optical network. It can manage NEs and also has some
functions of network-layer management.

Software Structure
The ZXONM E300 system adopts a four-layer structure, including the
equipment layer, NE layer, NE management layer, and subnet
management layer. It can also provide the Corba interface for the network
management layer which manages the regions of its scope.
Figure 2 shows the software structure of ZXONM E300, where the network
management layer does not belong to ZXONM E300.

FIGURE 2 SOFTWARE STRUCTURE OF ZXONM E300 EMS

In Figure 2, the core of the NE management Layer is the Manager (Server).


The Manager can manage one or more subnets and it supports the access
of multiple GUIs (Clients).

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

19

ZXONM E300 (V3.17) Installation Manual

The core of the NE layer is Agent. Each Agent can be managed by one or
more Managers. However, only one Manager has the authority to write. An
Agent has function of automatic routing and can transmit EMS information
based on ECC.

Hierarchy of ZXONM E300

Subnet management layer


The structure of the subnet management layer is similar to that of the
NE management layer. The configuration and maintenance commands
for NEs are implemented through the NE management layer indirectly.
The subnet management system sends commands to the NE
management system, which will then forward these commands to a NE.
After executing the commands, the NE responds to the subnet
management system through the NE management system. The subnet
management layer can connect multiple NE management systems to
achieve trans-domain management and automatically distribute
commands to lower-layer EMS under management. In addition, it
provides the Corba interface for the network management layer.

NE management layer (Manager)


It controls and coordinates a series of NEs, including Manager, GUI
(graphical user interface), LCT (local craft terminal), and Database.

Manager: also known as Server. It is the core of the NE


management layer. It manages multiple subnets at the same time,
controls and coordinates NEs.

GUI: provides graphic user interfaces, converts the requirements of


user management into the commands in internal formats, and
sends them to Manager.

LCT: combines GUI and Manager simply by controlling user


authorities and software functional parts; provides weakened NE
management functions for commissioning and maintenance of local
NEs.

Database: it is not shown Figure 2. It queries information of


interfaces and management modules, stores configuration and
alarm information, and synchronizes data.

NE layer (NE/Agent)
It manages one single NE only. During initialization of a NE after
power-on, it configures each board. While in the NE normal running
status, it is responsible for monitoring alarms and performance of the
NE, as well as receiving and processing monitoring commands of the
network element management layer or Manager through the gateway
NE (GNE).
The NE control processor (NCP) implements the functions of the NE
layer. Upon powered on and initialized, an NCP can work independently
without the Manager or NE management system. It can save
configuration data but does not have the functions of the man-machine
interface layer and NE management layer.

20

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 1 - Overview of NMS

Equipment layer (MCU)


It is the real-time processing center of an EMS. The MCUs (micro
control units), distributed in various boards, monitor alarms and
performance of boards, receive commands from the EMS, and control
boards to perform specific operations.
The MCU communicates with the Agent through the S interface. Upon
powered on and initialized, the MCU can work independently without
the Agent.

Interfaces of ZXONM E300


Figure 1 shows the locations of interfaces of the ZXONM E300 EMS. The
following describes these interfaces:

Qx interface: Interface between Agent and Manager, complying with


TCP/IP.

F interface: Interface between GUI and Manager, complying with


TCP/IP.

f interface: Interface between Agent and LCT, complying with TCP/IP.

S interface: Interface between Agent and MCU. The S interface adopts


the communication mechanism based on HDLC (high digital link control)
to provide point-to-multipoint communication.

ECC interface: Interface between Agents. The ECC interface adopts


DCC for communication. It can support user-defined communication
protocols and standard protocols simultaneously. On Agent, it
implements the function of bridge.

Corba interface: Interface between Manager and higher-level NMS.

System Composition
The ZXONM E300 EMS consists of GUI, Manager, Database, and Agent.
Figure 3 shows the relations among these parts.

ZXONM E300 (V3.17) Installation Manual

Manager
It is also called as Server. For the GUI, the Manager plays the role of a
Server. It sends management commands to the corresponding Agent
and receives various notifications sent from the Agent. In addition, it
stores all the network management data in the database such as the
basic data of system management, configuration management, and
alarm maintenance. However, the Manager stores network
management data of its own domain only.

GUI
It is also called Client. Basically, the GUI does not store dynamic data
of network management, and the data are obtained from the database
through the Manager.

Database
It queries information of interfaces and management modules, stores
configuration and alarm information, and synchronizes data.

NE Agent
The Agent, located in the NE layer, manages related management
objectives directly, responds to commands sent from the Manager, and
sends notifications reflecting objective behavior to the corresponding
Manager.

To implement the ZXONM E300 software, the GUI, Manager, Database,


and Agent must work together. Table 4 describes the relationship between
software components and software hierarchy.

The GUI, Manager, and Database can be installed on the same computer
or on different computers. The system supports the Unix platform and
Windows platform. The configuration requirements of computers vary with
software packages. The Database can adopt the SYBASE database or SQL
Server database. The functions of Agent are implemented through the NCP;
and the functions of the equipment layer are implemented in MCUs in
various boards.

Networking Modes
Single GUI and Single Manager
Figure 4 shows the networking of a single GUI and a single Manager,
which is the most common mode. The GUI and Manager may run on the
same computer or on different computers, depending on the number of
devices under management and the process capability of the computer.

Multiple GUIs and Single Manager


Multiple GUIs can log into one Manager at the same time, as shown in
Figure 5. The higher-level NMS accesses the Manager in the same way as
a GUI accesses the Manager. The Manager does not distinguish GUI and
higher-level NMS. It ensures that the data of various GUIs are
synchronous.
This networking mode is used when the user needs multiple operation
terminals which may be distributed in various areas. Therefore, some of
the GUIs need to log into the Manager remotely.

(Main/Vice EMS)
The main EMS and the vice EMS serve for protection and backup of the
EMS. Normally, when the main EMS is working normally, the vice EMS can
be in the monitoring status only and cannot perform configuration.

Switching Conditions
The vice EMS takes over the work of the main EMS in the following cases:

The transmission network is in abnormal status, and the main EMS


cannot connect with NEs.

The main EMS is faulty.

Switching between the main/vice EMS is made manually.

Database Synchronization Modes


The databases of the main EMS and the vice EMS must be consistent, that
is, a synchronization mechanism must be established among all EMSs. The
ZXONM E300 supports the following two database synchronization modes:

Database synchronization mode based on EMS DBMS


As shown in Figure 6, the databases of main EMS and vice EMS are
connected through the Ethernet or DDN private line. Data is
synchronized through the synchronization function of database.

If the replication server of SYBASE is used as the component of data


replication, the data can be synchronized at real time. Most of the
synchronization tasks are completed by the database. Even if the DDN
private line is interrupted, the replication application components can
automatically ensure the consistency of data after the communication
recovers. The advantage of this mode is simplicity and reliability.
However, in the case of remote connection, DDN private line is
required. Therefore, the cost is a relatively high.

Note: Only the SYBASE database supports this database synchronization mode.

Database synchronization mode based on Agent


An EMS uploads the newly modified data from the Agent. After the
Agent receives an operation from a Manager and modifies data, it
broadcasts the notification about modification to other Managers at
real time. And other Managers will upload database automatically upon
receiving the data, to ensure data consistency.

Authority Switchover
The main and vice EMSs are actually a special case of multiple EMSs. The
vice EMSs authority can be upgraded from read only to read and write.
Authority change of the vice EMS must comply with authority switchover
principles. Correct switchover can be ensured through information
transferred between the main and vice EMSs and the current EMS status
reported on the NCP, and thus avoiding wrong switching between main
and vice EMSs.
Authority switchover principles of main/vice EMSs are as follows:

The system supports one main EMS and multiple vice EMSs. Normally,
the main EMS has the authority to read and write, and the vice EMS is
authorized to read only. In the case of exception, the vice EMSs
authority can be upgraded from read only to read and write. The
authorities of the main and vice EMSs can be modified manually.

ZXONM E300 (V3.17) Installation Manual

The authorities of main and vice EMSs are assigned for a specific NE.

The vice EMS checks whether to change authority by receiving events


reported by the NCP. If the main EMS and the vice EMS is connected
via DDN, when the DDN private line is faulty, the operation authority of
the vice EMS is upgraded; when the DDN private line recovers, the
authority of the vice EMS is degraded.

Remote EMS
In the networking modes mentioned above, a case can be called as
remote network management when a router or a bridge is required
between a GUI and a Manager, between Managers (main and vice EMSs),
or between a Manager and an Agent, which locate at different places.
Therefore, remote EMS is the implementation of the above networking
modes in the case of remote access through router or bridge.

Subnet Management
Subnet management is a special case of remote NM. For its networking
mode, refer to the NMS structure shown in Figure 2. NE management
systems are distributed in different areas, whereas the subnet
management system is installed in the management center. Through
remote access, the subnet management system manages lower-level NE
management systems, and achieves the goal of subnet management in
multiple regions.

ZXONM E300 Features

Powerful management abilities

adopts
the
structure, and has powerful

NE management ability
The ZXONM E300 EMS software does not limit the number of NEs
under management. Therefore, the management ability of EMS
depends on the processing capability of hardware. Workstation or
server in different classes can be configured based on network
scales. And multiple EMSs can be configured based on management
regions.
Select hardware environment flexibly based on network scales.
An NE group or subnet is a logic concept and can be set randomly.

Remote EMS and multi-GUI/multi-Manager system


The background EMS can provide remote EMS by means of multiple
networking modes, and can manage ZTE transmission equipment in
distributed areas through the transmission equipment of other
manufacturers. The connection between GUI and Manager, and

26

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 1 - Overview of NMS

between Manager and Agent can be managed through DDN remote


connection. In this case, the multiple-EMS system can be achieved.

Main/Vice EMS and automatic switching between them

High flexibility
The EMS adopts a distributed structure has is highly flexible. GUI,
Manager and Database can operate on the same computer or on
several different computers. In addition, a Manager may consist of
several child managers, and the child managers can be configured
flexibly based on network scale and equipment composition. Child
managers can be added or deleted dynamically.

Complete security mechanism

Three-level security mechanism


The EMS adopts three-level security mechanism. GUI, Manager,
and Agent have their own security measures to achieve high
security.

i.

The GUI layer controls users operation authority and NEs managed
or monitored by user.

ii. The Manager layer implements regional management. Each


Manager has its own management region. Different managers may
have partially or completely overlapped management regions.
iii. The Agent layer controls access of Managers, including LCT. Only
valid Managers can access the Agent.

Multiple data synchronization modes


The system adopts backup and synchronization mechanism for
databases to ensure security and data consistency.
For multiple GUIs or multiple Manager-DBs, lock mechanism and
database synchronization can ensure consistency between multiple
GUIs/Managers.
Supports database upload. The synchronization of data based on
Agent covers synchronization of LCT modified data.

Trans-platform solution
The EMS supports Windows 2000 and Unix operating systems, thus
satisfying demands of various users at different levels.

Dynamic routing function


Agent adopts the dynamic routing algorithm to establish
communication between NEs. Manual intervention is unnecessary.

Standby route of EMS


The EMS can generate standby routes by accessing multiple gateway
NEs (GNE) at the same time. For a chain system, when the ECC is
blocked, the information of EMS can be transferred through the
standby DCN network. In this case, management of NEs is not affected
and the EMS becomes more reliable.

Appendix

Introduction to Unix
This appendix briefly introduces basic concepts of Unix operating system,
common operations, and commands. For details, refer to the related
documents about Unix.

Overview of Unix
This section describes basic concepts of Unix, including system
introduction,
composition,
initialization,
directory
structure,
and
explanations of common terms.

Introduction
Unix is a multi-user, multi-task, and time-sharing operating system.

Multi-user
The Unix operating system allows multiple users to operate at the
same time. In Unix, each user runs his own or public programs, like an
independent computer. The disk operating system (DOS) is a
single-user operating system, and only allows one user to use it.

Multi-task
Unix allows multiple tasks to run at the same time. In earlier versions,
the multi-task function of Unix is implemented through time sharing
mechanism. Now, in addition to time sharing, Unix has the function of
real-time multi-task for real-time control and data collection.

Time-sharing
Time of the host CPU is divided into many slices to respond to different
users. Since these time slices are very small and the processing speed
of the CPU is very high, the users using them hardly feel the existence
of other users, and it seems that the whole system is occupied by one
user.

ZXONM E300 (V3.17) Installation Manual

Composition
The Unix operating system consists of kernel, shell, tool, and applications.

Kernel is the core part of the Unix operating system. It instructs the
Unix machine to run and controls resources of computers directly,
protecting user programs from interferences caused by complicated
hardware.

Shell is a special program of the Unix operating system. It serves as


the interface to kernel and users. That is, shell is a command
interpreter of Unix and an advanced interpretative language. At
present, common shells include Bourne Shell (or B Shell for short),
Korn Shell (K Shell for short) and C-Shell.

Tools and applications are provided for users. They include applications,
utilities, and other system software except the Unix operating system.

System Initialization
Compared with DOS, Unix deals with multiple users. Therefore, it cannot
directly boot the command program during initialization.

To initialize Unix operating system

1. Power on the Unix host, or run the command t e l n e t to log in to the


Unix host remotely.
2. Run the command g e t t y to obtain terminal lines. Each terminal line
will be initialized, and each terminal displays login.
3. Enter the user name and password.
4. The login process checks whether the user name and password are
correct. If login is successful, the Shell process and / e t c / p r o f i l e file
and $ H O M E / . l o g i n file are started.
5. A Unix prompt appears, waiting for user to enter a command.
Figure 39 shows comparison between the initialization of the Unix system
and that of the DOS.

The directory structure of Unix is similar to that of DOS, but the file path is
written differently. The full name of a file path consists of all nodes
between the root directory and the file, among them, the root directory is
represented by /, and names are separated by /. For example, the
path of the p r o g file in Figure 40 is / u s r / s m i t h / p r o g . The full name of a

Common Terms

Terminal, terminal line, and terminal protocol


Users communicate with computers through terminals. A Unix host can
connect multiple terminals through terminal lines and terminal
protocols.

Terminal:
A terminal is an interface that is used by users to communicate
with computers. Generally, a terminal consists of a monitor, a
keyboard, a terminal controller, and a mouse. The monitor and
keyboard are connected to the terminal controller. The controller is
connected to the host computer through a general port such as a
serial port. A terminal falls into two types: character terminal and
diagram terminal.

Terminal line:
A terminal line is the communication line connecting a user and the
Unix host. A serial port cable or network cable is often used as a
terminal line.

Terminal protocol:
Terminal protocols are used for communication between users and
the Unix host.

Emulation terminal
Run a specified program in a computer and use this computer as the
terminal of anther computer. At present, an emulation terminal
connects to the Unix host through the network or serial port.

Appendix A - Introduction to Unix

Console
A console is a special terminal. It consists of a monitor, a keyboard and
a mouse, which are connected to dedicated interfaces of the host, that
is, monitor interface, keyboard interface and mouse interface.
Usually, a host can connect to one console only. A console can
implement the functions of common terminals. In addition, a console
can also implement the function that a common terminal cannot, for
example, to display severe error information and recover from errors.

User
Unix is a multi-user operating system, allowing multiple users to use it
at the same time. Each user has a user name, login password and
operation authority. Every time when a user log in to the Unix system,
he must enter the user name and password.
There are two types of users in Unix:

Common user: Common operators in the system, who are not


allowed to perform operations such as setting the system time and
shutting down the system. The system prompt this type of user is
$.

Super user: Root user. The system prompt for this type of user is
#. The Unix system does not restrict any operation performed by
a super user in the system. It is very important to keep password
of super user password secret.

Group
A group of users. Users in the same group can share information.

Process
A process is a program that is being executed. Unix allows multiple
processes to exist at the same time. Each process has a unique
number, called process ID, which is pid.

Foreground process
The process through which user can interact with computer directly.
The foreground process support keyboard input and displays the result
in the monitor. By default, Unix programs started by users run in the
foreground.

Background process
The process through which user cannot interact with computer directly.
Normally, users cannot feel running of background programs.

Device
Also known as device file. It represents one piece of hardware such as
disk, floppy disk, and serial port. It is used by Unix to access hardware.
Device files are located under the directory / d e v . For example,
/ d e v / h d 0 indicates the first floppy disk drive.

Raw device
Also known as naked device. It is a device file that had not been
processed. The name of a raw device file starts with r. For example,
/ d e v / r h d 0 indicates the raw device of the first floppy disk drive.

ZXONM E300 (V3.17) Installation Manual

Common Operations
The Unix system supports three types of common operation: command
line, graphical interface and special keys. The follow introduces these
types of common operation.

Command Line Format

Command prompt
In the command line format, the operating system displays a prompt
to instruct users to enter a line of command after the prompt.
For common users, shells have different prompts. The prompt of B
Shell and K Shell is $, and that of C Shell is %.
The prompt for the super user is # by default.
Users can modify the default Shell and prompts.

Basic command line format


You can enter Unix commands under prompts.
The basic format of Unix commands is:
# command parameter 1 parameter 2 parameter n
A Unix command consists of a command and zero to multiple
parameters. Space is used to separate command and parameters.

Note: The command format of Unix is similar to that of DOS except that Unix
commands are case sensitive, and commands and parameters must be separated.

Classification of commands
Common system commands are classified based on the following:

File system commands: l s ( l i s t ) , c a t , f i l e , c h m o d , c h o w n ,


chgrp, find, tar, cpio, cp (copy), mv (move), rm (remove),
l n ( l i n k ) , m k d i r , m k n o d , m o r e , o d , c d , p w d , and etc.

Edit commands: e d , v i , m o r e , o d , c a t , g r e p , t a i l , and etc.

Network commands: r c p , r l o g i n , f t p , p i n g , and etc.

Process commands: p s , k i l l , n o h u p , and etc.

Introduction to Interface Buttons


The traditional Unix user interface adopts the command line mode. The
commands are difficult to remember. Therefore, the command line is hard
to be spread to non-professional computer personnel. Now, graphic
interfaces are added for most of Unix systems, thus make the system
more operable.

82

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Appendix A - Introduction to Unix

The graphic interfaces of Unix support operation performed through mouse


and keyboard. However, interface buttons of Unix are different from those
of Windows. Figure 41 shows a graphic interface of Unix.

Process Management Commands


Common process management commands include:

ps

View statuses of processes running in the system, including process


No., process status, user that start a process, command line
description corresponding to a process, and other attributes of
processes.

Run background processes


The Unix system only allows one foreground process only at the same
time, and other processes are background processes. To start a
background process, add a symbol & at the end of the command line.
For example, executing the command find in the background to find
the file a b c in the current directory and its sub-directories. The
command and result are as follows:
$ find . -name abc -print&
10722

Where, 1 0 7 2 2 is the process No. When the command f i n d is executed


in the background, the system returns the result and displays it.

kill

Terminate a background process. The format of the command is: k i l l


p r o c e s s N o . . The process No. is the unique ID of a process. It is
obtained through the command p s .

exit

This command has the same effect as the keyboard operation:


CTRL+D. It is used to exit the current Shell. In addition, all foreground
and the background programs currently operated by a user will exit
automatically. After the command is executed, a prompt l o g i n : is
displayed on the screen, waiting for next user to log in to the terminal.

nohup

After the terminal exits, this command is execute to continue to run


background programs.
The command line format is: n o h u p o r i g i n a l c o m m a n d l i n e . For
example:
$ nohup find . -name abc -print&

This command line indicates that after the current user exits, the
system continues to execute the command f i n d in the background to
find the file a b c in the current directory and its sub-directories.

Network Commands
Network commands reflect high-speed communication connections
between users and the Unix host. Through the network, you can transfer

86

Appendix A - Introduction to Unix

files, telnet, and copy files remotely. Common network commands


include :

ftp

It is a file transfer command to copy one or more files in a remote Unix


system to a local computer, or copy one or more files from the local
computer to a remote Unix system.

Command line format


ftp IP address or domain name of a remote Unix host.

After the command is executed, the screen prompts to enter a user


name and password. If the password is correct, a prompt f t p > will
appear.
The command f t p must be executed under the prompt.

rcp

It is a copy command for remote files, and its function is similar to


ftp.
The command line format is:
rcp IP address or domain name of host1: file1 IP address or
domain name of host2: file 2.

The command is to copy file1 in host1 to file2 in host2.

rlgoin

It is a remote login command, that is, the command is to enable one


computer to telnet another one.
If login is successful, the command line entered in the local computer
will be transmitted to the remote host through the network, and the
output result will be sent back and displayed in the local computer
after the command is executed. For the command r l o g i n , the
command line is executed by the remote host, and the local computer
only serves as a terminal.

telnet

It is a remote login command to enable the local computer to log in to


the remote Unix host, regarding the local computer as an emulated
terminal of the remote Unix host. It has similar function as the
command r l o g i n .
The command line format is:
telenet IP address or domain name of remote Unix host.

For example, t e l e n t 1 2 9 . 9 . 9 8 . 9 8 is a command to log in to a host


whose IP address is 129.9.98.98.
After the command is executed, a local computer prompts to enter the
Unix user name and password and the terminal type. At last, the
prompt of the Unix operating system appears.

ping

The ping command is to check the network connections between a


local computer and other hosts. It can be used to check if the peer end
is switched on or the network connection is correct for both file
transmission or remote login.
The command line format is:
ping IP address or domain name.

Storage Devices
User may use the floppy disk drive, tape drive, or CD-ROM drive when
operating the ZXONM E300. This section introduces these three types of
storage devices.

88

Appendix A - Introduction to Unix

Floppy Drive and Tape Drive


In Unix, the command tar is used to save data in the floppy drive or tape
drive. Take the tape drive for example. Its basic operations are as follows:

Write data into the tape.


# tar cf /dev/rmt/0mb file

Read the tape.


# tar xf /dev/rmt/0mb

CD-ROM Drive
For the Solaris platform, the CD-ROM is automatically loaded to the
system when it is used. The following describes how to use CD-ROM drive
in the HP-UX platform.

Preparations
1. Make sure that the EMS can ping through the NE of which the NCP
program is to be upgraded. To perform online upgrade, record the IP
address of the NE.
2. Make sure that the version of downloaded NCP program and the EMS
version are consistent.

Local Data Initialization


The local data initialization means that the operator downloads and
remakes the NCP program at the local place where the equipment is
located, and when the IP address of NCP board is the obliged one
(192.192.192.11).

To perform local data initialization

1. Unplug the NCP board. Set the DIP switch to DOWNLOAD state
according to the description in the section of NCP Status. And the NE
IP address is then obliged to 192.192.192.11.
2. Make sure that a proper electronic disk is plugged on the NCP.
3. In the portable PC, configure an IP address within the same network
section as the NE IP address, e.g. 192.192.192.250. Use a crossover
network cable to connect the Qx interface on NCP board with the
network interface on the portable PC. Make sure that the portable PC
can ping through 192.192.192.11.
4. If it is not the first time to use the electronic disk, go to step 5.
Otherwise, follow the following steps to format the electronic disk:
i. Execute the t e l n e t
computer.

11. In the ZXONM E300 client operation window, make sure that the NE
status is online, and download the NCP database.
Caution: Make sure that the NE data are configured before downloading the NCP
database.

12. The NCP board will automatically reset. In the EMS client operation
window, right-click the NE and select the Time Management menu
item to extract the NCP time. If time can be extracted successfully, it
indicates that the NE initialization is completed.

Online Upgrade
The online download is the procedure that the operator downloads new
version of NCP program to the NE through ECC channel. It is generally
applied when the EMS is upgraded.
Suppose the NE IP address is 188.92.3.18. The online upgrade procedure
of NCP board is as follows:
1. Execute the p i n g 1 8 8 . 9 2 . 3 . 1 8 command on the EMS to make sure
that the NE can be pinged through.
2. Execute the f t p 1 8 8 . 9 2 . 3 . 1 8 command and connect the EMS to the
NCP board. Enter z t e for the username and e c c for the password.
Caution: The username and password must be lowercases.

3. Input the following commands under the f t p > prompt:


ftp> bin

//Set the file sending format as binary


ftp> rm RAM.OLD

//Delete the old NCP program created by previous upgrade.


ftp> put ram.bin RAM.NEW
//r a m . b i n is the NCP program used for upgrade on the computer, and
the R A M . N E W is the file name of the new NCP program downloaded to

the NCP board.


Caution:

R A M . N E W cannot be input as the R A M . B I N which is the name of the running


NCP program. Otherwise, once the download process is interrupted, the NCP
program will be damaged and cannot be started.

This process takes about three to four minutes. Only when this operation ends,
can the next operation be conducted. If failure or error occurs, it is necessary to
repeat this operation until the download succeeds.

4. In the EMS client operation window, select this NE and select the
System > NCP Data Management > Clear NCP DB menu to clear
the NCP database on line. Then the NCP will be reset.

Caution: If there is no special requirement, the operator must clear NCP database
in order to remake NCP data. After clearing NCP database, there is no NE data in
the NCP. Therefore the NE power-off or ECC block during NCP running may cause
service interruption. However, as long as the ECC is smooth, the NCP can be
upgraded online.

Converting Version from V3.1 to


V3.2
Note: After NCP upgrade, it is necessary to upgrade the NE software version from
V3.1 to V3.2.

For NE of version V3.1, it is necessary to upgrade the software version

Installation FAQ
This chapter provides solutions to installation problems that may occur on
different platforms.

FAQ for Installation Based on


HP-UX
1. During the process of EMS installation, the system is powered off
suddenly. After the system reboots, the disk space becomes
insufficient. Why does this happen?
Possible causes:
i.

Some temporary files are stored under the directory / t m p during


installation. After the system is powered off suddenly, these files
are not cleared automatically.

ii. After the system is powered off, it saves the information which was
in the buffer into l o s t + f o u n d folder under the operation directory.
This information is not released after the system reboots. Execute
the command b d f to measure used space. The contents of this
folder are stored in the file index node. Therefore, corresponding
records cannot be queried.
iii. In case of sudden power-off, the system saves the information
which was in the buffer to / v a r / p r e s e r v e . This information is not
released after the system reboots.
iv. Sudden power-off makes temporary files under the directory
/ v a r / t m p not released.
Solution:
i. Delete the files in the folders: / t m p , / o p t / l o s t + f o u n d , / v a r / t m p ,
and / v a r / p r e s e r v e .
ii. Delete the EMS installation directory, and re-install the EMS.

2. When creating logical volume, the disk space is insufficient. Why does
this happen?
Check the disk and if you find that the free space is insufficient, you
should re-partition the hard disk. Because the HP platform does not
provide the command to reduce the space occupied by the file system,
you must back up the file system to another file system. Then, delete
the original file system, re-create a smaller file system, and finally
restore the data of the original file system. The detailed procedure is
as follows:
i.

Execute the command b d f to search the file system that can be


reduced.
Usually, it is recommended to use the file system which is large,
with large available space that satisfies the space requirement and
low utilization ratio, as the target to be reduced. In most cases,
you can select the / o p t file system.
After the command # b d f is executed, the following information will
be displayed:

% u s e d indicates the space utilization ratio;
M o u n t e d o n indicates the installation location.

According to the above result, select / o p t files system as the file


system to be reduced.
ii. Select the intermediate storage file system.
The intermediate storage file system is used to store the data of
the file system which is to be reduced. It must have sufficient free
space. If the space is insufficient, you can delete useless files in
this system or select multiple intermediate storage file systems.
For example, / o p t has 72000 KB files, and / h o m e has 213865 KB
of space. Therefore, you can select / h o m e as the intermediate
storage file system.
iii. Reboot the system and log in as a single user. Copy the data of the
file system which is to be reduced into the intermediate storage file
system. The commands are:

106

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Appendix C - Installation FAQ

#mount *
#cp r opt /home/

iv. Delete the logical volume where the f i l e s y s t e m s r c file system is


located.
To delete / o p t logical volume, the commands are:
#umount /opt

//Uninstall the logical volume to be deleted.

#lvremove /dev/vg00/lvol6

//Delete logical volume.

v. Re-create a logical volume smaller than the original logical volume,


and then create the file system and install it to the original
directory.
To add the file system volume named lvo16 whose size is 80 MB on
vg00 and the mounting point is on directory / o p t , the commands
are as follows:
#lvcreate -L 80 -n lvo16 /dev/vg00

//Create the logical volume lvo16


#newfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/lvo16

//Create a file system for the logical volume


# mount /dev/vg00/lvo16 /opt
//Mount the logical volume on / o p t
#bdf

//Query whether the logical volume is successfully created.


vi. Execute the following command to copy files back to the re-created
file system and restore the original file system:
#cp r /home/opt/* /opt/
Note: The calculation methods for the free space of a volume group is as follows:

Log in the system as root user, execute the command # v g d i s p l a y , and


obtain the values of Free PE and PE Size from the displayed results.

Free PE is the free space of the volume group, in the unit of PE; PE Size is the
space size of one PE, in the unit of MB.

The free space of a volume group = Free PE * PE Size (unit: MB).

3. How to deal with the failure when uninstalling the CD-ROM file system
through the u m o u n t command?
After installing the EMS on the HP-UX platform using a CD and
rebooting the computer, execute the u m o u n t command. However, the
system reports an error, and the CD cannot be taken out. In this case,
follow the procedure below to take out the CD:
i.
