OneVision ACCULINK Access Controller Manager for HP OpenView Feature Number 7800-D1-999

Document Number 7800-A2-GZ50-10

January 1997

Overview

The OneVision ACCULINK Access Controller (AAC) Manager supports the ACCULINK Access Controller under HP OpenView . It provides the means to administer the AAC device, accept traps from it, and gather performance data.

This feature document provides instructions on:

• How to prepare for and install the OneVision AAC Manager software on both HP and Sun workstations

• How to remove the installed software if necessary

• How to assist and/or accelerate the process of discovering AAC devices for the HP OpenView Map

• How to cut through to the AAC T erminal Interface

• How to upload or download configuration images from or to the AAC

• Which SNMP traps are generated by the AAC

This document assumes that you have a working knowledge of UNIX and HP OpenView. If you are not familiar with the general use of HP OpenView, refer to your HP OpenView documentation for a description of the user interface.

Features

The AAC Manager provides the following features:

• Discovery and addition of AAC devices on a network map

• Cut-through from HP OpenView to the AAC for configuration, diagnostics, and device performance

• AAC configuration image transfer allowing storage of AAC device options on HP OpenView for use in

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap handling

Installation Information

This section provides information you need to know prior to installing the AAC Manager software.

Hardware Requirements

The AAC Manager runs under HP OpenView on either an HP or Sun workstation that is connected to the AAC device. The AAC device must have firmware revision 3.2. Any additional hardware requirements are the same as those of HP OpenView.

Software Requirements

The AAC Manager requires the HP OpenView SNMP Management Platform release 3.31 and the HP OpenView Network Node Manager.

Network Requirements

The AAC must be connected to the HP OpenView host via a TCP/IP network. No limitation on the physical medium exists provided that the TCP/IP software package is certified to run on the given processor, HP or Sun, and the network software supports TCP/IP.

The AAC Manager also requires an active diagnostic channel connection between the HP OpenView host and the AAC.

You are responsible for ensuring that the AAC device is properly configured and connected to the HP OpenView host.

Environment Requirements

The directory /usr/OV/bin must be included in your PATH environment variable. The X-Windows-based VT100 terminal emulator, xterm, must be present and a path to it must exist when running the HP OpenView AAC Manager.

Distribution Media

The ACCULINK Access Controller Manager is distributed on a 4 mm Digital Data Storage (DDS) tape for HP systems and on 3.5″ floppy diskettes for Sun systems.

Software License

The software license contains the serial number assigned to the AAC Manager application software. The serial number is requested when you place a call for support. Please retain this license for future reference and keep it in a secure place.

Installing the Application

This section describes how to install the AAC Manager software on both HP and Sun workstations.

Installing on HP Systems

To install the AAC Manager on HP systems, perform the steps below. (Refer to your HP OpenView documentation for detailed descriptions of the HP OpenView commands.) To abort the installation process, use the UNIX interrupt key (for example, Control-D or Delete).

1. Log in as root.

2. Ensure that the HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNMGR) and the SNMP Management Platform (SNMPRUN) are installed. You can check that they are installed by using the HP OpenView command ovverify.

3. Exit HP OpenView Windows (ovw) to terminate ovw processes. You can ensure that no ovw processes are running by using the UNIX command ps –el | grep ovw.

4. Insert the AAC Manager tape and

TYPE: /usr/OV/bin/ovinstall –p ATTAAC –– –s /dev/rmt/0m

5. To register the serial number of the AAC Manager:

TYPE: attAACSerial

6. When prompted:

TYPE: <the serial number listed on your software license agreement>

7. Eject the tape and store it in a safe place.

8. Check /tmp/update.log for errors, that is, log entries beginning with Warning or Error. Consult HP OpenV iew documentation if any errors are found.

9. Exit from root.

Installing on Sun Systems

To install the AAC Manager on Sun systems, perform the steps below. (Refer to your HP OpenView documentation for detailed descriptions of the HP OpenView commands.) To abort the installation process, use the UNIX interrupt key (for example, Control-D or Delete).

1. Log in as root.

2. Ensure that the HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNMGR) and the SNMP Management Platform (SNMPRUN) are installed. You can check that they are installed by using the HP OpenView command ovverify.

3. Exit HP OpenView Windows (ovw) to terminate any ovw processes. You can ensure that no ovw processes are running by using the UNIX command ps –el | grep ovw.

4. Create a directory in a path other than /usr. This directory is temporary and only needed for the installation process.

5. TYPE: cd <path of directory created in Step 4>

6. Insert the first AAC Manager diskette.

7. TYPE: bar xvf /dev/rfd0

8. Insert the remaining diskettes as prompted.

9. TYPE: cd /usr/OV/bin

10. TYPE: ovinstall –p ATTAAC –– –d <path of directory created in Step 4>/attAAC

11. To register the serial number of the AAC Manager:

TYPE: attAACSerial

12. When prompted:

TYPE: <the serial number listed on your software license agreement>

13. TYPE: rm –r <directory created in Step 4>

14. Eject the final diskette and store the diskette set in a safe place.

15. Check /tmp/update.log for errors, that is, log entries beginning with Warning or Error. Consult HP

OpenV iew documentation if any errors are found.

16. Exit from root.

Removing the Application

To remove the AAC Manager application, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as root

2. TYPE: cd /usr/OV/bin

3. TYPE: ovremove -p ATTAAC

4. Exit from root.

The removal process displays a running report of the process, concluding with a message that the process is complete.
