=========================================================================== Nortel Networks Updated: 11/17/2000 Optivity NMS OIT Package README for New Device/Agent: BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch, agent software v3.0 =========================================================================== OIT PACKAGE SUMMARY: ==================== This document contains installation instructions, new features, and known restriction information for Optivity Integration Toolkit (OIT) files when used with the BayStack 450 Switch and version 3.0 software. These OIT installation instructions are not included in the Optivity and BayStack 450 Switch documentation. Manual installation of this OIT file will be required for Optivity NMS v9.1.x releases. Note: To manage a mixed stack of 450s and 410s you must install both the 410 and the 450 OIT packages. DEVICES SUPPORTED: ==================== BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series switches, running agent software v3.0 on the following BayStack devices with sysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.35.1 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.36.1 BayStack 410-24T with Chassis ID 655 BayStack 450-12T with Chassis ID 654 BayStack 450-24T with Chassis ID 653 BayStack 450-12T with Chassis ID 674 BayStack 450-24T with Chassis ID 667 BayStack 450-12F with Chassis ID 681 Chassis ID is available in the s5ChasComTable NOTE: **** This OIT package requires NMS 9.1 or later **** NOTES FOR INSTALLATION: ======================= The default locations for an Optivity install are: Unix ($OITHOME): /usr/oit Windows 95/98/NT (%OITHOME%): :\Optivity\OIT All installation commands are relative to the directory containing the extracted (un-tarred or un-zipped) OIT package. The following commands should be executed in that directory. Installing on UNIX ------------------ 1. On your workstation, log into Optivity NMS as root (su command). 2. Open a unix shell window and prepare your user environment with one of the following commands: source /opt/lnms/bin/opt_cshrc (for csh and tcsh) OR . /opt/lnms/bin/opt_kshrc (for sh or ksh) 3. In the /usr/oit directory, create the following subdirectory structures: mkdir -p ${OITHOME}/wpd/baystack/common/ 4. Copy contents of the OIT package to various locations: cp *.gif ${LNMSHOME}/images/chassis cp *.mib ${OITHOME}/wpd/baystack/common cp *.mi1 ${OITHOME}/wpd/baystack/common cp cham450.oit ${OITHOME}/wpd/baystack 5. At the command prompt, type (you must have superuser permissions): oitInstall -u $OITHOME/wpd/baystack/cham450.oit where -u indicates to upgrade Optivity NMS. If you do not specify the -u parameter, a syntax check only is performed on the OIT file. Installing on PC ---------------- 1. On your workstation, log in as administrator 2. Open a command prompt 3. In the \usr\oit directory, create the following subdirectory structures: mkdir %OITHOME%\wpd\baystack\common\ 4. Copy contents of the OIT package to various locations: copy *.gif %LNMSHOME%\images\chassis copy *.mib %OITHOME%\wpd\baystack\common copy *.mi1 %OITHOME%\wpd\baystack\common copy cham450.oit %OITHOME%\wpd\baystack 5. Run the oitInstall executable as follows: oitInstall -u %OITHOME%\wpd\baystack\cham450.oit where -u indicates to upgrade Optivity NMS. If you do not specify the -u parameter, a syntax check only is performed on the OIT file. Installation Results -------------------- When you installed Optivity NMS, the installation program copied an oitinstalled.cnf file and an oitapplied.cnf file to the default location. These were empty files. When you upgrade Optivity NMS with new device support, these files are updated with an entry for the new device support. The contents of the oitinstalled.cnf and oitapplied.cnf in the file should be the same. An entry in each of the *.cnf files is as follows (each installed OIT package creates a line of format " "): # This file contains all the OIT updates that are potential # update candidates.

These "duplicates" are actually two different database object representations of the same device in the subnet. They appear to be duplicates because the label names are the same. This situation can be corrected in the following manner: 1. On Unix based systems, use a text editor to open the file: $LNMSHOME/apps/topology/topology.cnf On NT based systems the file is: %LNMSHOME%\apps\topology\topology.cnf 2. Change the value for the "Age_Out_Period" parameter to 0 (the number Zero). 3. Save the file. 4. Run the topology "rediscover" process for any subnets which exhibit the problem. This will clear most (if not all) situations of this type. If the effect is not seen immediately, it may be necessary to simply refresh the InfoCenter subnet view which you might have had open when you ran the rediscover process against the subnet. In most cases the view will refresh itself. When you are finished, it is advisable to return the Age_Out_Period value back to your normal setting. -- When you use the Datalink and Physical views, you must use the graphical format in order for the layout options to display accurately. -- OmniView shows incorrect speed/duplex under Port Detail for GigaBit Ethernet MDA ports CR # 114040-1 -- The OmniView pane, "Port Detail" displays all ports in a stack by ifIndex number. To determine which slot number an ifIndex is referring to, use the following table. You can calculate the port number by subtracting the beginning of a given unit's range from the ifIndex number in question: ifIndex range UNIT Number 1 - 32 1 33 - 64 2 65 - 96 3 97 - 128 4 129 - 160 5 161 - 192 6 193 - 224 7 225 - 256 8 -- Platform integration for Openview, NetView, and Solstice Domain Manager is not implemented with this version of the OIT package. -- Expanded View does not display the port data pop up menu for the 450-12F. CR # 127461-1 -- OPTIVITY Threshold Manager application is not supported CR # 118349-1 -- Cannot create or modify RMON alarm entries through Threshold Manager. CR # 128556-1 -- OmniView currently displays empty panes for the soon to be released ATM MDA. (c) 1998-2000 Nortel Networks Incorporated.
