    IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Aprisma Spectrum

    The CA Aprisma is a network management platform. The system is an elementmanager for CA Aprisma devices and can also manage third party devices through

    specific management modules.

    The two core components of Spectrum Enterprise Manager are the SpectroGRAPHand the SpectroSERVER. The SpectroGRAPH is a graphical user interface thatoffers client access to the SpectroSERVER. The SpectroSERVER is a networkmanagement server that the probe collects alarm information from.

    Installing the probe

    All probes follow a very similar installation procedure.

    Installing the probe on UNIX platforms

    To install the Probe for Aprisma Spectrum on UNIX platforms, run the followingcommand:

    $OMNIHOME/install/nco_patch -install patch

    Where patch is the file name of the patch that you have downloaded.

    Installing the probe on Windows platforms

    To install the Probe for Aprisma Spectrum on Windows platforms, use thefollowing steps:

    1. Unzip the probe_zip_file file into a temporary location. (Where probe_zip_file isthe file name of the zip file that you downloaded.)

    2. Copy the binary (and .dll if present) into your probe binary directory.

    3. Copy the default .props and .rules into your probe binary directory if required.

    To install the Probe for Aprisma Spectrum as a Windows service, use the followingsteps:

    1. Register the probe with the Service Control Manager by running the followingcommand:

    probe_name.exe -install

    11/24

    (Where probe_name is the name of the executable in the zip file.)

    2. If you are running the probe on the same machine as the ObjectServer, run thefollowing command line to register the dependency of the probe on theObjectServer service:

    probe_name.exe -install -depend NCOObjectServer

    3. Activate the probe by selecting Control Panel Services.

    Internationalization support

    The probe supports multibyte character sets. To view the character sets correctly,you must configure the locale settings on the host machine correctly. Eachmultibyte character set is configured slightly differently on each platform.

    Example multi-byte character set on Solaris

    The following steps describe how to configure Solaris to use the Japanese characterset:

    1. Install the necessary components for Japanese on to the host machine using the

    Solaris CD.2. Set the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to ja_JP PCK. This uses SJIS

    encoding.

    Note: You may have to set the LANG in the host machines default settings fileand reboot it to make the changes take effect.

    3. Make sure that the file $OMNIHOME/platform/arch/locales/locales.dat hasthe following entry:

    locale = ja_JP PCK, japanese, sjis

    where ja_JP PCK is the vendor locale, japanese is the Sybase language, andsjis is the Sybase character set.

    Example multi-byte configuration on Windows

    The following steps describe how to configure Windows to use the Japanesecharacter set:

    1. Install the necessary language pack using the Control Panel.

    Note: You must reboot the machine to make the character set available.

    2. Make sure the file,%OMNIHOME%\locales\locales.dat, has the followingelement:

    locale = jpn, japanese, sjis

    where jpn is the vendor locale, japanese is the Sybase language, and sjis isthe Sybase character set

    Note: You must reboot the machine to be able to use the probe as a service in therequired locale.

    Data acquisition

    Each probe uses a different method to acquire data. Which method the probe usesdepends on the target system from which it receives data.

    IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Aprisma Spectrum 3

  • 8/8/2019 apsp-pdf

    12/24

    The Probe for Aprisma Spectrum launches the AlarmNotifier program as asub-process, acquires events generated by the program, and forwards them to theObjectServer. For example, to run the probe from the command line, you couldenter:

    nco_p_spectrum -exec "AlarmNotifier -r .alarmrc"

    In this example, when the probe is run, it runs the AlarmNotifier program and

    uses a SPECTRUM configuration file .alarmrc. The AlarmNotifier program readsand outputs SPECTRUM events from the database.

    The probe reads the output from the AlarmNotifier program, parses each eventinto a Netcool/ OMNIbus alert and forwards it to the ObjectServer.

    Note: There are different elements, properties, and command line options,depending on the version of AlarmNotifier running.

    Peer-to-peer failover functionalityThe probe supports failover configurations where two probes run simultaneously.One probe acts as the master probe, sending events to the ObjectServer; the other

    acts as the slave probe on standby. If the master probe fails, the slave probeactivates.

    While the slave probe receives heartbeats from the master probe, it does notforward events to the ObjectServer. If the master shuts down, the slave probe stopsreceiving heartbeats from the master and any events it receives thereafter areforwarded to the ObjectServer on behalf of the master probe. When the master isrunning again, the slave continues to receive events, but no longer sends them tothe ObjectServer.

    Example property file settings for peer-to-peer failover

    You set the peer-to-peer failover mode in the properties files of the master and

    slave probes. The settings differ for a master probe and slave probe.

    The following example shows the peer-to-peer settings from the properties file of amaster probe:

    Server : "NCOMS"RulesFile : "master_rules_file"MessageLog : "master_log_file"PeerHost : "slave_hostname"PeerPort : 5555 # [communication port between master and slave probes]Mode : "master"

    The following example shows the peer-to-peer settings from the properties file ofthe corresponding slave probe:

    Server : "NCOMS"RulesFile : "slave_rules_file"MessageLog : "slave_log_file"PeerHost : "master_hostname"PeerPort : 5555 # [communication port between master and slave probes]Mode : "slave"

    Note: The properties file also contains all other properties required to configurethe probe.
