Passport Device Manager Software Version 3.1.2 ********************************************************************** For detailed descriptions of commands and installation instructions, please refer to documentation available on the Nortel Networks support website at http://support.baynetworks.com We strongly recommend reading release notes to find out about the known caveats in the software release. This document is divided into 3 sections. Section I lists issues that were fixed in Device Manager 3.1.2. Section II has installation instructions for the PC. Section III has installation instructions for UNIX. Section I. - CR 123917-1: Change on PC DM only. Addresses some situations where ports appear gray instead of green or red. The telnet and web page buttons were moved to the Task menu. - CR 96083-1: Change on UNIX DM only. "Unrecognized packet received" message will no longer be displayed on the console. - CR 142959-1 and CR 142960-1: Enabling RMON stats on all ports now works properly for both PC and UNIX DM. - CR 140273-1: MAC entries in the fdb static table now indicate if they are a result of fdb filtering. The STATUS is listed as permanent(filter). - CR 129392-1: Device Manager no longer crashes when every other port in a chassis is a member of a VLAN. - Device Manager now works properly with 8600 3.0.2.0 code. This issue prevented the configuration of filters, as well as other interactions with 8600s running 3.0.2.0. - Buffer allocation is increased within Device Manager, to allow for more consistent performance. - Added HP OpenView integration for Passport 8000. Section II. Installing the NortelFrameSwitch Management Software (WindowsNT/95/98) ====================================================================== Minimum System Requirements: ---------------------------- - 100 MHz Pentium or 166 MHz 486 - 16 MB DRAM - 8 MB space on hard drive Installation Instructions: -------------------------- 1. Find the location where the Device Manager software is saved on your PC. 2. Double click on the dm_312.exe icon. 3. Follow instructions appearing on the screen to complete the installation. When prompted, be sure to select the proper drive and folder where you would like the software installed. 4. To run the NortelFrameSwitch Management Software, click the Windows Start button and click Programs. Select NortelFrameSwitch Device Manager from the Programs menu. Section III. Installing the DM/VM Management Software (Unix) =============================================== Minimum System Requirements: ---------------------------- - SPARC workstation running the Solaris 2.5.x (or higher) Operating System - HP workstation running the HP/UX 10.20 Operating System - AIX workstation running the AIX 4.1(or higher) Operating System - 32 MB DRAM - For Solaris OS, 12 MB space on hard disk, 4 MB available in a temporary directory and 8 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. - For HP-UX OS,18MB space on hard disk,4 MB available in a temporary directory and 14 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. - For AIX OS, 18MB space on hard disk, 4 MB available in a temporary directory and 14 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. Installation Instructions for Solaris, HP/UX and AIX Platforms: =============================================================== Place the two files you download from our website, "dm_3.1.2.tar.Z" and "install_dmvm" into a temporary directory on your Solaris, HP/UX, or AIX workstation. Use the following steps to prepare the software for installation: 1. Log in as "root" or 'su' to the root account. 2. Change directory (cd) into the directory where you placed the two files. 3. Execute the following command: # chmod 755 ./install_dmvm Proceed to the "Running the Install Script" instructions below. Running the Install Script: =========================== 1. Create a directory on the host's hard-disk where you want the DM/VM software to reside. The location can be anywhere the user chooses. Typically, third party software is installed under the "/opt" directory. Depending on how your system is configured, you may need to be the root user to have write permission to the "/opt" directory. If you do not have root access, you can install the software under "/usr/local/NortelFS". % mkdir /opt/NortelFS 2. Change into the directory where you placed the file. For example: % cd /var/tmp/dmvm 3. Execute the "install_dmvm" script by providing the version of the software you want to install and target directory where you have decided to install the DM/VM software. install_dmvm filename = name of Device Manager file, omitting the ".tar.Z" extension. target_directory = name of the directory where DM is to be installed (Directory created in step 1) For example: % ./install_dmvm dm_3.1.2 /opt/NortelFS dm_3.1.2 is the name of the dm tar file, i.e., dm_3.1.2.tar.Z /opt/NortelFS is the target directory where dm_3.1.2 will be installed. 4. After installation, the software user's environment must be set correctly. Assuming you installed the software into the /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.2 directory, set the DMPATH variable using one of the following instructions: a. If you use the C-shell, add the following to your .cshrc: % setenv DMPATH /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.2 b. If you use the Bourne shell or Korn shell, add the following to your .profile: $ DMPATH=/opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.2; export DMPATH NOTE: If you installed into a different directory, substitute the directory where you installed the software for /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.2. After modifying the appropriate file, you must source the file for the changes to take effect. 5. For launching Passport Device Manager(dm) to manage an operational switch: % dm a.b.c.d where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the Passport device. Installing DM/VM into HP OpenView (Optional): ============================================= Prerequisites: - HP OpenView must be installed. - DM/VM Management Software must be installed. - You must be logged on as root. To integrate Passport Management Software into HP OpenView: 1. Go to the directory where the DM/VM Management Software is installed. # cd /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.2 2. As the root user, start Device Manager and point it to an operational Passport or BayStack-310 or Bay Stack-450 device (e.g., "dm " where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the Passport device or the name of the device if your network is running a name service). # dm 132.32.1.5 NOTE: You *MUST* launch 'dm' against an Passport or BayStack-450 device or Baystack-310 device to activate the appropriate menus for step 3. 3. From the Device Manager, click on Help from menu bar and select the "Run HP OpenView Install on Console" option. This will copy the Passport, BayStack-450 and BayStack-310 specific icons and MIB files to the standard HP Openview software directories. When this task is completed, a list of commands will be shown on the console. Manually execute the commands as root to complete the installation process. Following is a brief description of each command: ------------------------------------------------------------ Command | What it does ... ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ovw -fields | Update the fields database. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2. ovstop netmon | Stop network monitor to allow the | database to update. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. ovtopofix | Update topology database. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. ovstart netmon | Restart network monitor. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5. ovw | Start HP OpenView. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. After HP OpenView is started, load the Passport and/or BayStack-450 and/or BayStack-310 specific MIBs by selecting the "Options->Load MIBs" option. Load the files located in the directories: "/var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/BayNetworks/Passport" and/or "/var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/BayNetworks/BayStack". ********************************************************************** Contact Information: Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center Telephone Fax Number Billerica, MA 800-2LANWAN 978-916-3514 Santa Clara, CA 800-2LANWAN 408-495-1188 Valbonne, France 33-4-92-96-69-68 33-4-92-96-69-98 Sydney, Australia 61-2-9927-8800 61-2-9927-8811 Tokyo, Japan 81-3-5402-7041 81-3-5402-0173 **********************************************************************
