About This Manual NetNumen N31 is a network management system used to manage
mobile network elements. It is an intermediate system between
the upper-layer operation support system and lower-layer network
element management systems. By using NetNumen N31, you
can implement the integrated management of network elements,
including configuration management, fault management, perfor-
mance management, security management, log management and
report management. Meanwhile, it provides unified standard in-
terfaces to upper-layer application systems.
This manual provides the maintenance instructions of NetNumen
N31.

Maintenance Overview
Routine maintenance is a preventive behavior. It can detect and
eliminate the potential defects and hazards by regular inspection
and maintenance of equipment or software so as to guarantee
long-term secure, stable and reliable system operation.
Maintenance Purpose
The purpose of maintenance is to avoid potential risks, prevent
malfunctions and remove faults as early as possible by regularly
checking the running status of devices and the network manage-
ment system, analyzing various messages and handling alarms.
Maintenance Classification
By contents, maintenance can be classified into routine mainte-
nance, the handling of notification messages, the handling of alarm
messages, and the handling of common faults.
� Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance refers to periodical maintenance, for ex-
ample, daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly maintenance. Main-
tenance personnel check the running conditions of devices pe-
riodically and handle the detected faults as early as possible,
so as to avoid potential risks and prevent failures.
� Handling of Notification Messages
Maintenance Items
Routine EMS maintenance items include equipment hardware and
software.
Users can perform equipment maintenance and management with
the guidance of operation instructions. Also users can add or
delete the maintenance items shown in the table below accord-
ing to the actual network conditions and software requirements to
meet the actual maintenance needs.
The items of routine maintenance involved in the manual are
shown Table 1.
Maintenance Regulations
The following rules should be followed in the course of routine
maintenance:
1. Establish and improve the maintenance system, and mainte-
nance personnel regulate their daily work. Have detailed duty
logs, recording the running states of the system, version, data
modification, upgrades, and problem handling, which is easy
for later problem analysis and troubleshooting.
2. Prohibit playing games and online surfing on the computer ter-
minal, and installing, running and copying any software unre-
lated with the system are not allowed.

Checking Temperature in
Equipment Room
Context Temperature is an important factor that may influence the long
term operation of communication equipment. The purpose of tem-
perature check is to prevent adverse impact on the running of com-
munication equipment caused by too high or too low temperature.
Steps � Read the thermometer in the equipment room and check
whether the temperature meets the temperature requirements
for NetNumen N31 as shown in Table 2.
5℃~40℃ –5 ℃~50 ℃
– Measure the temperature at the position 1.5 m above the floor and 0.4m
in front of the rack without front and rear panels.
– Short-term operation means that the equipment works continuously for
no more than 96 hours at a time and works for no more than 15 days in
total during a year.
END OF STEPS
Result The temperature in the equipment room can meet the require-
ments for the equipment.
Postrequisite If the measured temperature is too high or too low, check and
make sure that the air-conditioner in the equipment room func-
tions properly.
Checking Humidity in
Equipment Room
Context The purpose of humidity check is to prevent the adverse impact on
communication equipment caused by too high or too low humidity
in the equipment room.
Steps � Read the thermometer in the equipment room. The require-
ments for NetNumen N31 are shown inTable 3.
5%~85% 5%~90%
– Measure the temperature at the position 1.5 m above the floor and 0.4m
in front of the rack without front and rear panels.
– Short-term operation means that the equipment works continuously for
no more than 96 hours at a time and works for no more than 15 days in
total during a year.
END OF STEPS
Result The humidity in the equipment room can meet the requirements
for the equipment.
Postrequisite If the humidity is out of range, perform the following checks:
� Check whether the air-conditioner and ventilation devices are
working properly.
� Check whether the air-conditioner is correctly set.
� Check whether water pipelines are laid under the equipment
room in case of too high humidity. If yes, check whether leak-
age occurs at pipeline joints.
If air conditioning works improperly, please read the matched
manual, or contact the air conditioning manufacturer to solve
the problem as soon as possible. If it is a pipe or joint problem,
please contact the relevant department.
Result There are not any exception messages such as “Broken Commu-
nication Link” and “State Machine Failure”.
Postrequisite If any exception message is found, analyze the message and do
troubleshooting.
If the fault can not be removed, please contact local ZTE office for
support.
Result � If the space of the disk array is not enough, add more disks,
or backup alarm and performance data and then delete it to
release some space.
� If some hard disk fault is found, contact local office of ZTE for
support.
Result The communication between the server and the client is normal if
the server can be successfully pinged.
Reference information
� At leisure time, CPU utilization rate is usually 5%, and MEM
utilization rate is 1%.
� At busy time, CPU utilization rate may reach up to 30%, and
MEM utilization rate may reach 10%. The value depends on
the call traffic.
END OF STEPS
Postrequisite � If the system capacity exceeds the designed one, high CPU and
MEM utilization over a long time indicates that the system load
is too heavy and the capacity expansion is needed.
� If the system capacity does not reach the designed one, but
the CPU and MEM utilization is high over a long time, please
contact ZTE for support.

Backup filter type Set the period during which the log data
needs to be backed up. For example, select
Latest T daysthe system will back up the
log data in the latest T days.
Delete filter type Set the period during which the log data
needs to be deleted. For example, select
Latest T daysthe system will delete the log
data in the latest T days.
Note:
The path of Alarm data backup file is NetNumen
N31/backup/fmbak by default.
5. (optional)If you want to save the backup file on the local client,
select Backup File Downloading to Client pathclick Select
button to set the local client path.
Note:
Backup File Downloading to Client Path indicates that the
backup files will be backed up at local client.
Steps 1. In Oracle database server, double click the file in the database
installation directory /oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1/in-
stall/portlist.ini to check theHTTP port number of Oracle
management control panel.
For example, the port number is 1158:

Postrequisite � Back up the history data files onNetNumen N31 to other me-
dia, and delete the backup files. Data files are stored in the
installation directory ums-server\rundata\tracedata.
� If some table space is insufficient, expand the table space. The
steps are described as follows:
i. In Object Name enter the name of table space to be ex-
panded, for example UEP4X_CAF_FM. Click Start button to
check the utilization rate of the table space.
ii. Click the database table space name, and check the specific
information of the table space.
iii. If the table space has multiple data files, click the data file
to be modified such as UEP4X_CAF_FM.DBF.
iv. Click Edit button.
v. To modify File Size of data file, click Execute button and
pop-up file size editing complete interface.

Result Each performance index is within the required range and has no
great difference from recent index value.
Postrequisite If an index varied greatly in some day, query the details of the per-
formance data in that day further (using the smaller granularity)
and analyze the query result to find the cause of the unexpected
performance index change.
