This function ensures the correctness and integrity of the PRS software when it is
installed on the live network. This function ensures the integrity of the PRS software
when it is installed on the live network. The software integrity check tool is delivered
with each PRS software version to verify the digital signature. Before installing the PRS
or starting the PRS during an upgrade, a user must run the software integrity check tool
to verify the digital signature of the software version. The PRS can be installed or loaded
only after verification. If verification fails, the PRS software is invalid or lacks integrity.
 PRS client installation on a website and automatic upgrade
The PRS client can be installed locally on a PC or remotely on a website.
To install the PRS locally on a PC, obtain the client installation package from the
installation CD-ROM or download it from Huawei Support website.
To install or upgrade the PRS client remotely, instead of using the installation CD-ROM,
log in to the PRS server remotely using a Web browser. This reduces installation costs
and improves installation efficiency.
The PRS client can be automatically upgraded. When the PRS client is connected to the
PRS server, the PRS client displays a message if its version is inconsistent with the PRS
server version. After users confirm the automatic upgrade, the PRS client is
automatically upgraded to the version that is consistent with the PRS server. This
solution improves the client upgrade efficiency and reduces operation and maintenance
(O&M) efficiency. Cross-R-version upgrade is not supported. To perform a
cross-R-version upgrade, users must reinstall the PRS client.
 Workstation management
Workstation management is used for managing shortcuts to functions or applications.
Users can create shortcuts to functions and executable applications to simplify operations
and thereby increase convenience. Names, descriptions, and icons of shortcuts can all be
defined. Users can create, modify, delete, import, and export the workstation. The default
workstation provides shortcuts to the following functions: KPI analysis, scheduled report
management, and report management.
 Online help
The PRS provides online help, which supports hotspot help, full text search, and so on.
Users can browse the help information either by choosing Help on the menu bar or
pressing F1. The online help provides PRS function descriptions and instructions on
related operations. The online help also incorporates the descriptions about NE counters
and KPIs, which enables users to view information about selected counters or KPIs by

usage, and running status.
− Server node status: server name, server status, operating system, total physical
memory, idle physical memory, total swap memory, idle swap memory, CPU usage,
and memory usage.
− Component information: component name, version, and description
Configurable monitoring periods and monitoring thresholds:
− The PRS allows users to set monitoring periods and monitoring thresholds for the
server, hard disk, database, and services. After a user sets a monitoring period and
threshold, the PRS monitors the system and counters based on the specified
monitoring period and threshold. If the value of a counter exceeds the specified
threshold, the counter is highlighted by a status indicator.
PRS server hardware monitoring and disk array monitoring can be set.
− The PRS generates alarms for the physical link, CPU, memory, environment (such as
humidity), hard disk, and disk array faults of HP servers, and displays the alarms on
the alarm management window of the M2000. This function is disabled by default in
the installation of the PRS.
 User session monitoring
The status of all online users on the PRS can be monitored in real time. The monitoring
window displays the user name, operating client, client type, login time, user group, and
detailed information. User Administrator can force a specified user to quit.
 License management
The license controls the management capability of the PRS system. License information
consists of resource control items and function control items. Resource control items
control the application scope of specific functions by controlling the dimensioning of the
network managed by the PRS. Function control items control the use of functions by
using the switches of the corresponding functions. License information enables users to
know the resources and functions under the control of their license. If the license will
expire in less than one month, the PRS periodically displays a message, indicating that
the license will expire soon.
In addition to license information, license management provides functions such as
license remote update, license export, license expiration code query, and license
invalidating.
− License remote update allows users to upload a new license file to the PRS. The PRS
then automatically enables or disables functions, updates the license capacity, and
updates the validity period as specified in the new license file.
− Users can export the PRS license information to a CSV or XLS file and save the
exported file to the PRS client.
− License expiration code query enables users to query historical license expiration
code information, including expired license serial numbers, license expiration codes,
and expiration time.

1.1.3 WOFD-097600 ATAE Cluster Solution

Availability
Summary
The advanced telecommunications application environment (ATAE) cluster solution is an
integrated OSS solution developed on Huawei ATAE platform.
The ATAE cluster solution has the following characteristics:
 Highly professional
 Highly integrated
 Carrier-class reliability
 High performance
The PRS can be deployed on the ATAE platform independently. The ATAE cluster solution
implements the following functions in a centralized manner:
 Large-scale network management
 Monitoring and maintaining hardware
 Accommodating multiple OSS products such as the M2000 and the PRS
These features of the ATAE cluster solution help telecom operators to minimize energy
consumption, save equipment room space, reduce overall deployment costs, and remain
competitive.
Benefits
The ATAE cluster solution has the following benefits:
 An ATAE subrack contains 14 blades, where 12 blades function as servers and 2 blades
function as switch blades. Compared with traditional servers that provide equivalent
management capability, the ATAE cluster solution reduces energy consumption by over
60%, saves 50% of equipment room space, and reduces the number of cables needed for
connecting servers.
 The ATAE cluster solution helps improve operation and maintenance (O&M) efficiency
and minimize O&M costs because it can manage large-scale networks in a centralized
manner. For example, a single ATAE subrack can accommodate an M2000 and a PRS at
the same time.
 The ATAE cluster solution provides carrier-class reliability and ensures that services run
smoothly all the time. The key function modules in an ATAE subrack, such as subrack
power supply units, fans, management units, switch units, storage power supply units,

iManager PRS
and controllers use the redundancy design. The ATAE cluster solution uses the N:1
redundancy scheme, which improves hardware usage and reduces hardware costs.
 ATAE blades support plug-and-play, which enables users to replace blades without
re-loading software. In this way, services can be quickly restored when a fault occurs.
 The ATAE cluster solution provides the OSS self-maintenance unit (OSMU), which
implement the following functions in a centralized manner: maintenance of service
blades, device status management, task management, and data backup. This helps
telecom operators improve O&M efficiency.
Description
 Hardware configuration
An ATAE subrack consists of 14 blades, which can accommodate the M2000 and the PRS
concurrently. Users can perform operations on the M2000 and the PRS blades separately. This
enables centralized management of the two products. The following table describes the

 Carrier-class reliability
− N:1 redundancy: The blades in an ATAE subrack are classified into service blades and
database blades. The service blades implement different functions by loading
corresponding service software. One OSS product can be configured with multiple
service blades, and the blades are grouped into a cluster that uses N:1 redundancy.
That is, each OSS product corresponds to a service cluster to implement N:1
redundancy. Only few services run on the database blades of each OSS product, and
the architectures of database blades are similar. Therefore, these blades share one
standby blade, and the entire ATAE cluster system becomes a system that uses N:1
redundancy.
− Hardware redundancy: The key function modules in an ATAE subrack use the
redundancy design. When an active module is faulty, services are immediately
switched over to the standby module. The active-standby mode is 1:1 hot backup.
− The power supply units of the ATAE subrack use 2:2 redundancy and support four
–48 V power supply inputs.
− The management units of the ATAE subrack use 1:1 redundancy.
− The switch units of the ATAE subrack use 1:1 redundancy.
− The fans of the ATAE subrack use 1:1 redundancy.
− The service bus of the ATAE subrack uses dual-star redundancy.
− The service plane and the management plane are deployed on different blades. In
this manner, impact on services is minimized.
− The storage system uses RAID 1+0 technology to protect data.
− The controllers in the storage system use 1:1 redundancy.

iManager PRS
− The power supply units in the storage system use 1:1 redundancy.
 Blade plug-and-play
In the ATAE cluster solution, the OSMU is configured with hard disks and other blades
use the SAN Boot technology. With this technology, users can start the operating system
from disk arrays. Once a blade is faulty, the boot volume is mapped onto a new blade
that replaces the faulty one. This helps quickly rectify faults.
 OSMU
Running on an independent blade, the OSMU provides centralized maintenance and the
following functions:
− Managing service blades in the subrack
− Changing IP addresses in batches
− Changing time in batches
− Changing routes in batches
− Changing user passwords in batches
− Powering devices on and off in batches
The OSMU provides a device panel for users to view device status in real time before
operating a device. When an exception occurs, an alarm is automatically generated and
then the alarm information is reported to the M2000 for centralized hardware alarm
monitoring.
The OSMU provides the function of managing tasks in a centralized manner. This
function enables users to view running tasks in real time to check which tasks are
running on the OSMU before performing an important task.
The OSMU provides a built-in centralized backup function. The data on each service
blade is backed up to backup media by using the OSMU in a centralized manner. The
OSMU uses disk arrays for backup, which increase backup speed and efficiency and
minimize backup costs.
Enhancement
Supports independent deployment on the ATAE platform.
Dependency
The ATAE cluster solution of the current version does not support the following:
 Veritas system backup and restore solution

iManager PRS
 Disabling insecure operating system services

 Restricting access to files and directories
 Securing user accounts and passwords
 Adjusting operating system kernel parameters
After this feature is enabled, the PRS displays a security warning message (banner) when
users perform activities related to system security, such as logging in to the PRS through
Telnet, FTP, or SSH. In addition, this feature provides system logs related to Inetd, FTP, cron
tasks, and daemon process for users to trace and audit operations performed on the operating
system.
Security hardening of a SUSE Linux operating system is performed by users using a
hardening tool. The security hardening tool conducts OS hardening based on the security
hardening policies preset in the PRS. Some hardening policies must be applied manually in
certain networking scenarios. For example, users must manually disable the remote login of
user root.
Benefits
 The following measures provided by this feature protect the operating system against
external attacks and enhance the security of the PRS system:
− System program hardening
− Log tracing and auditing
− Kernel parameter adjustment
− User account and password security hardening
− System access, authentication, and authorization
− File and directory access control
− Warning banners
 After users manually trigger the hardening process, the PRS automatically conducts
hardening operations. Therefore, operating system hardening can be performed even if
users are not familiar with hardening specifics.
Description
Mandatory hardening items, which are performed by the hardening tool, are as follows:
 Application hardening
This function lowers system security risks and enhances the security of specified services
such as FTP, OpenSSH, SNMP, and Xinetd by restricting the use of system services and
disabling unsecured and unnecessary services.
Hardening policies applicable to the SUSE Linux operating system are as follows:
− Deleting unnecessary daemon processes
− Enabling the Initd service, Xinetd service, SSH encryption algorithm, SSHD accounts,
secure SSH authentication, and FTP security configuration
− Limiting FTP users
− Disabling port 80 and HTTP services such as the cau, AT, and prs-web services.
 Log tracing and auditing
The PRS provides system logs for users to trace system activities. System logs include
info event logs, cron task logs, daemon process logs, and kernel message logs.

iManager PRS
 Kernel parameter adjustment

Kernel parameters determine the network configuration status and rights for applications.
Kernel parameter adjustment enhances the security of operating systems by adjusting or
configuring network options, disabling information dumping, and enabling protocol
stack protection.
 User account and password security hardening
Securing user accounts and passwords is useful for protecting operating systems against
malicious attacks.
User account and password security policies for the SUSE Linux operating system
include restricting the use of the su command, disabling system user accounts, using the
hash algorithm to encrypt passwords, and forcing users to use complex passwords.
 System access, authentication, and authorization
This function enhances the security of operating systems by enabling users to set the
scope of user operations and the execution environment of key services.
The policies used for the SUSE Linux operating system include restarting the system by
using the keyboard, setting the timeout of idle sessions, setting the secure single-user
mode, setting telnet warning banners, and restricting the number of login attempts.
 File and directory access control
All applications and data in the SUSE Linux operating systems are stored as files. A
directory that contains files is also regarded as a file. Therefore, it is essential to ensure
the security of files and directories in the SUSE Linux operating systems. This hardening
item enhances the security of the operating system by setting rights for all the directories
and files except the /proc directory.
The policies for the SUSE Linux operating system include restricting access to system
directories, files, and executable files, enabling files and directories that have no owners,
restricting the use of the crob command, restricting access to the PATH directory, and
setting RO mounting.
 Warning banners
Warning banners are messages displayed when users log in to the system through Telnet,
FTP, or SSH. The messages indicate the penalties for unauthorized access to the system.
The banners hide system version information to prevent attacks to the system.

1.1.5 WOFD-096600 Data Collection and Import

Availability

iManager PRS
Summary
The PRS enables users to create OSSs for managing NEs. Configuration and performance
data can be periodically collected from the OSSs. Collected data is automatically imported
into the PRS database.
Benefits
The PRS manages NEs of multiple OSSs. Users can create tasks for collecting and importing
data into the PRS by selecting the NEs as required. The PRS provides the OSS management
wizard so that the data can be automatically collected and imported into the PRS by executing
tasks without manual intervention.
Description
 OSS management
Users can use the OSS management wizard to create, modify, and delete OSS server
information. OSS properties include the OSS name, version, networking mode, OSS
account and password, port number, IP address of the FTP server, FTP account and
password, FTP port number, transfer mode, and protocol.
After users type the OSS server information, the PRS allows users to perform connection
test to check whether the typed information is correct. For an OSS server in the SLS
system, the PRS automatically identifies the IP addresses of slave servers and generates a
report on the connection between the master server and slave servers. This facilitates the
configuration of OSS information.
 NE access management
After the IP address of an OSS server is set, users can browse the information about NEs
managed by this OSS server by configuring parameters for NE access. Users can add
new NEs or delete connected NEs as required. The PRS provides reference values of
measurement periods for users to set measurement periods of data collection.
The PRS automatically installs NE models based on the selected NE types. If the NE
types are upgraded, the PRS automatically upgrades the NE models accordingly without
manual intervention, which improves user experience.
 Parameter configuration for data collection
Collection and import tasks can be performed either automatically or manually.
Automatic tasks can be performed periodically or at a specified time. Manual tasks must
be started by users and are performed immediately after being started. The PRS can
automatically collect configuration data and performance data periodically from one or
multiple OSSs such as the M2000 by using SFTP, which ensures the security of data
transmission. Users can set the storage duration of collected and filtered configuration
data and performance data on the PRS. Historical data on the PRS can be automatically
and periodically deleted based on the default period or specified period to provide
sufficient disk space for storing and analyzing new data.
 Historical records of OSS information management

centralized user management and authentication. The object set and operation set function
helps achieve categorized management of devices and operations and allocate rights to users
and user groups.
Benefits
User management enables the PRS to manage users and user groups. The authority
management function enables the PRS to assign rights to users. The two functions help
customers control and manage PRS security. The object set and function set function
facilitates user management and right management.
Description
 User management
After initialized system installation, the PRS automatically creates the admin account.
User admin can create, modify, and delete users. User admin can view user properties,
which contain detailed information, and home user group, management domain,
operation right, and access control list.
 User group management
By default, the PRS provides the Administrators, security management, operator,
monitor, and common user groups. Members in the Administrators user group can
create, edit, and delete user groups. The user group properties include detailed
information, group members, management domain, operation rights, and the current
session. Members in the Administrators user group have all rights except security
management rights. Members in the security management user group have only security
management rights, including querying security logs and performing operations related
to security management. The rights of members in the Administrators and security
management user groups cannot be modified. User admin has all operation rights. It
belongs to both the Administrators user group and the security management user group.
User group attributes of user admin cannot be modified.

iManager PRS
 User and user group

Users in a user group all have the same operation rights. Different user groups have
different operation rights. If you add a user to a user group, the user will have the rights
of that user group. A user can be added to multiple user groups. The rights of a user are
the combination of the rights assigned to the user and the rights of the user group that the
user belongs to.
 Object set and operation set rights
Operation set management is used to manage the rights of operations that can be
executed on the PRS.
 Object set and operation set rights
An object set is a set of managed devices. It is used for allocating operation rights of
devices to users or user groups. After an object group is added to the management
domain of a user or a user group, the user or users in the user group can manage rights by
NE.
An operation set is a set of multiple operations. It is used for allocating operation rights
to users or user groups. After an operation set is allocated to a user or user group, the
user or users in the group have the related device operation rights or application
operation rights. The PRS monitors and records important operations performed on a
client at specific time.
 OSS centralized user management and authentication
Single Sign On (SSO) refers to centralized management, authentication, and
authorization of user accounts of Huawei OSSs, such as M2000, PRS, and Nastar.
On a network where the PRS, M2000, and Nastar are all deployed, the M2000 server is
configured as the SSO server. After an SSO client is installed on each OSS (including
PRS, M2000, and Nastar) client, all OSSs operate in centralized authentication mode. In
this case, users need only to enter the user name and password for authentication when
logging in to the SSO server. After logging in to the SSO server, users can access and
switch between authorized OSSs without logging in to each OSS separately. The PRS
Web system and administration tool (AT) support centralized user management and
authentication but do not support login through the SSO server. The SSO client
communicates with the SSO server by using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) and the communication supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.

provides a dedicated page for managing comments, where users can query, delete, import,
or export comments.
 System monitoring
The PRS can monitor the following items:
− Service status: service name, process name, running status, start mode, start time, and
name of the server node connected to the PRS client.
− Process status: process name, process ID, number of handles, CPU usage, memory
usage, and number of threads.
− Space status of hard disk partitions: file system, total space size, size of used space,
free space size, space usage, and running status.
− Server node status: server name, server status, operating system, total physical
memory, idle physical memory, total swap memory, idle swap memory, CPU usage,
and memory usage.
− Component information: component name, version, and description.
Configurable monitoring periods and thresholds:
− The PRS allows users to set monitoring periods and thresholds for the server, hard
disks, databases, and services. After a user sets a monitoring period and threshold, the
PRS monitors the system and counters based on the settings. If the value of a counter
exceeds the specified threshold, the counter is highlighted by a status indicator.
 User session monitoring
The status of all online users on the PRS can be monitored in real time. The monitoring
window displays the user name, operating client, client type, login time, user group, and
detailed information. User Administrator can force a specified user to log out.
 License management
The license controls the management capability of the PRS system. License information
consists of resource control items and function control items. Resource control items
control the application scope of specific functions by controlling the dimensioning of the

iManager PRS
network managed by the PRS. Function control items control the use of functions by
using the switches of the corresponding functions. License information enables users to
know the resources and functions under license control. If the license will expire in less
than one month, the PRS periodically displays a message, indicating that the license will
expire soon.
In addition to license information, license management provides functions such as
license remote update, license export, license expiration code query, and license
invalidating.
− License remote update allows users to upload a new license file to the PRS. The PRS
then automatically enables or disables functions, updates the license capacity, and
updates the validity period as specified in the new license file.
− Users can export the PRS license information to a CSV or XLS file and save the
exported file to the PRS client.
− License expiration code query allows users to query historical license expiration code
information, including expired license serial numbers, license expiration codes, and
expiration time.
− Users can invalidate a license on the PRS client, which generates an expiration code.
Huawei technical support personnel can apply for a license based on the expiration
code in case of capacity adjustment, supplementary sales, and version upgrade.
 Preference option settings
Users can customize the items of the client windows based on their preferences,
including the window title, font, output window, region setting, workstation, menu
setting, time format, system login mode, client lock, sound setting, disconnection setting,
and performance report.
 Data backup and restore
This function backs up and restores the application software, operating system, database
software, and dynamic data.
 ATAE1 cluster solution
The advanced telecommunications application environment (ATAE) cluster solution is an
integrated OSS solution developed on Huawei ATAE platform. The ATAE cluster
solution has the following characteristics:
− Highly professional
− Highly integrated
− Carrier-class reliability
− High performance
The PRS can be deployed on the ATAE platform independently. The ATAE cluster
solution provides the following centralized functions:
− Large-scale network management
− Monitoring and maintaining hardware
These features of the ATAE cluster solution help telecom operators to minimize energy
consumption, save equipment room space, reduce overall deployment costs, and remain
competitive.
 OS hardening
This feature enhances operating system security by taking the following measures:
− Disabling insecure operating system services
− Restricting access to files and directories
− Securing user accounts and passwords

iManager PRS
− Adjusting operating system kernel parameters

After this feature is enabled, the PRS displays a security warning message (banner) when
users perform activities related to system security, such as logging in to the PRS through
Telnet, FTP, or SSH. In addition, this feature provides system logs related to Inetd, FTP,
cron tasks, and daemon process for users to trace and audit operations performed on the
operating system.
Security hardening of a SUSE Linux operating system is performed by users using a
hardening tool. The security hardening tool conducts OS hardening based on the security
hardening policies preset in the PRS. Some hardening policies must be applied manually
in certain networking scenarios. For example, users must manually disable the remote
login of user root.
 Database hardening
setOracle is a tool provided by Huawei for guiding site personnel through Oracle
database hardening, backup, restoration, and auditing on the SUSE Linux operating
system. setOracle is composed of database hardening scripts and policy files.
setOracle allows users to customize Oracle hardening policies for network management
servers based on the features of OSS application software. This reduces security
loopholes and enhances server security.
− File and directory access rights management
This function allows users to reclaim user rights and to change the owners and rights
for files to forbid unauthorized users to gain access to or change files and directories.
This reduces database security risks and improves database service security.
− Database file parameter settings
Database file parameters determine the configuration of memory usage and database
listening. This function enhances database security by setting related file parameters.
− Account security policies
Securing user accounts and passwords is a useful method of protecting databases
against malicious attacks. This function also allows users to lock the default user
accounts that are not in use.
 Security management
This function provides user and rights management, security policy management,
antivirus solutions, and log management to enhance system security.
User and rights management centrally manages and authenticates users by providing
PRS system user, user group, and rights management. By providing device and operation
sets, the PRS manages devices and operations by category and assign rights to users and
user groups. When configuring internal user information, the information is obfuscated
to ensure security. User rights are controlled and only authorized users can view mobile
station international ISDN numbers (MSISDNs). In addition, telecom operators are
advised to assign two persons to operate the PRS and HLR independently to avoid
obtaining related MSISDNs by using international mobile subscriber identities (IMSIs)
or international mobile equipment identities (IMEIs).
Security policy management allows users to set password and account policies, and
access control list for user login.
Virus attacks are a major security threat faced by the OSS network. Huawei provides an
antivirus solution by deploying third-party software on the PRS that runs in the Windows
or SUSE Linux operating system.
The PRS records system operation information in logs and provides functions including
log query, log statistics, and log export. This helps users monitor and audit the operating
status of the PRS and operation execution.
