8Avaya™ ATM WAN Survivable Processor Manager Installation and Configuration
3ZIVZMI[
Avaya™ ATM WAN Spare Processor Manager(ASP Manager) is a client-server application
that allows you to upload translations from Avaya MultiVantage™ software on a “main”
server and download them to multiple WAN spare processors (WSPs) simultaneously,
according to a schedule you specify. This chapter explains roughly how the application
works, explains security considerations, and summarizes the installation process.
;LEXW2I[MR6IPIEWI#
The ASP Manager client now runs on Windows XP Professional in addition to all previously
supported platforms. Also, ASP Manager now allows you to specify a name of your own
choosing when you set up email notification, and it allows you to manually test your email
notification configuration. Finally, upload and download speeds have improved.
8LI9TPSEHERH(S[RPSEH4VSGIWW
ASP Manager copies translations from MultiVantage software on the “main” server to its
WSPs as follows.
9TPSEHMRK8VERWPEXMSRWJVSQXLI1EMR7IVZIV
When ASP Manager copies translations from a main server to its WSPs, it first makes a
connection with the main server over an Ethernet LAN or WAN, via the C-LAN board on the
main server. It logs in to the main server using an “administration” login ID and password
that has already been set up on the main server and specified in ASP Manager. It issues the
save translations command, and if the command is successful, ASP Manager logs off and
disconnects. It then reconnects using the “upload/download” login, and issues the upload translations command. (If the save translations command fails, ASP Manager will proceed
with the second command only if you have specified that ASP Manager should do so.) The
translations from the main server are uploaded to ASP Manager, and then ASP Manager
disconnects. ASP Manager logs the success or failure of the upload in its log, which you can
view from the ASP Manager user interface. If the translations were uploaded successfully,
ASP Manager keeps a copy before downloading the translations to the WSPs.
Avaya™ ATM WAN Survivable Processor Manager Installation and Configuration9
8LI9TPSEHERH(S[RPSEH4VSGIWW
1SHMJ]MRK8VERWPEXMSRWJSVXLI;74W
ASP Manager does not download an exact copy of the translations to the WSPs. If it did, it
would overwrite critical connectivity information that allows the WSP to communicate with
other systems. Instead, after uploading translations from the main server, ASP Manager
makes some minor adjustments to the translations; for example, changing IP address, port,
and node name information, as appropriate, to work on the given WSP.
(S[RPSEHMRK8VERWPEXMSRWXSXLI;74W
Once ASP Manager has uploaded translations from the main server, it issues the status atm
wsp command on the main server. If the WAN Processor Role field contains a value of
“pending”, no WSP data is available and ASP Manager logs an error. If the WAN Processor
Role field contains any other value, ASP Manager can then display the name, number, and
link status of each WSP in the network.
ASP Manager then connects and logs in to each WSP, using login IDs and passwords that
have previously been set up on the WSPs and specified in ASP Manager. ASP Manager issues
the status atm wsp command on each WSP. If the WAN Processor Role field contains a
value of “spare” and the State field contains a value of “standby,” then ASP Manager issues
the save translations removable-media command, and then the download translations command. If the WAN Processor Role and the State fields contain any other
values, then ASP Manager aborts the save translations and the download and logs an error.
After ASP Manager downloads translations successfully, it does one of two things: for
anything prior to DEFINITY ECS Release 10 systems, it issues a reset system 4 disk
command; for DEFINITY ECSRelease 10 and later systems, it issues a reset system 3 disk preserve-license command. These commands reboot the WSP in a forced-standby mode.
This terminates the connection between the WSP and ASP Manager.
Several minutes later, ASP Manager attempts to reconnect to the rebooted WSP. If it fails, it
tries again in another several minutes. If it fails again, it logs an error in its status log. If it
succeeds, ASP Manager modifies the translations. Precisely how depends on whether or not
the main server has the “critical reliability” feature enabled.
10Avaya™ ATM WAN Survivable Processor Manager Installation and Configuration
If the main server has critical reliability enabled, ASP Manager issues the status pnc
command to determine whether A-pnc or B-pnc is active. If B-pnc is active, ASP Manager
issues the command reset pnc interchange override and waits for two minutes. A-pnc
must be active before ASP Manager can issue the command busyout pnc-standby, which
occurs next. If that step is successful, ASP Manager issues the command change system duplication, and sets both SPE dup and PNC dup to ‘n’. If that is successful, ASP Manager
issues the command busy atm pnc 1, and if that is successful ASP Manager issues the
command remove atm pnc1. Next, ASP Manager issues the command list config all to
determine the physical location of the ATM interface circuit packs. This returns two locations.
Then, ASP Manager issues the command change system maintenance, changing the value
of the field called WSP to ‘SPARE,’ entering the ATM interface circuit pack locations
determined with the list config all command, entering the WSP number, and entering the
takeover time. Next, ASP Manager issues the change system duplication command, and
changes the value of the field called PNC dup back to ‘y’. Finally, ASP Manager issues the
commands save trans active and either reset system 4 disk or reset system 3 disk preserve-license, depending on the release number of the systems.
For systems without critical reliability, ASP Manager issues the busyout atm pnc 1
command; it issues the remove atm pnc 1 command; and then busyout atm pnc 2 and remove atm pnc 2 (if applicable). Then, it issues a list configuration all command to
retrieve the ATM interface location. This location is required for the next change system
parameters command. This returns one location. Then, ASP Manager makes the following
changes on the change system-parameters maintenance form of the WSP: it enters
“spare” in the WAN Processor Role field; it enters the previously determined location of the
ATM-EI board in the A-PNC Board Location field; it enters the WSP number (gathered from
the main server) in the WSP Number field; and it enters the number of minutes (gathered
from the ASP Manager user) after which the WSP will take over in the event of a main server
failure in the WSP Takeover Time field. Finally, ASP Manager issues the commands save trans active and either reset system 4 disk or reset system 3 disk preserve-license,
depending on the release number of the systems.

ASP Manager lets you specify when you want to copy translations. You can copy them
immediately or schedule the copy to occur once, daily, or weekly.
0MQMXIH%HQMRMWXVEXMSRSJ;74W
ASP Manager lets you set the number of minutes after which a WSP will take over in the
event of a main server failure. All other WSP administration commands are accessible only
from a System Administration Terminal (SAT) or system administration application, such as
Avaya MultiVantage™ Configuration Manager or Avaya Site Administration.

ASP Manager has no login and password protection. Unauthorized use of ASP Manager is
prevented only through the login and password required by Windows, and the logins and
passwords required by the MultiVantage software on the main servers and WSPs. Once ASP
Manager has been installed and configured, it stores the login IDs and passwords of the main
server and its WSPs on the ASP Manager server, which means from that point forward, only
your Windows security prevents unauthorized users from gaining access to these devices.
However, all that an unauthorized user could do with ASP Manager is copy translations from
the main server to its WSPs. Using ASP Manager, users cannot manually modify translations
between uploading them from the server and downloading them to the WSP, which means
that using ASP Manager, users have no way to introduce errors or sabotage the WSP
translations.
If you have a service agreement with Avaya, or if you want Avaya support during ASP
Manager’s warranty period, you must install a copy of pcAnywhere on the ASP Manager
computers that you want Avaya to support. For the required version number of
pcAnywhere, see ‘‘ Understanding System Requirements’’ on page 15. If used incorrectly,
pcAnywhere can be a security risk. It is your responsibility to protect your network from
unauthorized use. Before installing pcAnywhere, see the guidelines in “Understanding
pcAnywhere Security” on page 28.
