Conventions used in this guideAll probe guides use standard conventions for operating system-dependentenvironment variables and directory paths.

Operating system-dependent variables and paths

All probe guides use standard conventions for specifying environment variablesand describing directory paths, depending on what operating systems the probe issupported on.

For probes supported on UNIX and Linux operating systems, probe guides use thestandard UNIX conventions such as $variable for environment variables andforward slashes (/) in directory paths. For example:

vi IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

Page 9: Corba Huawei

$OMNIHOME/probes

For probes supported only on Windows operating systems, probe guides use thestandard Windows conventions such as %variable% for environment variables andbackward slashes (\) in directory paths. For example:

%OMNIHOME%\probes

For probes supported on UNIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems, probeguides use the standard UNIX conventions for specifying environment variablesand describing directory paths. When using the Windows command line withthese probes, replace the UNIX conventions used in the guide with Windowsconventions. If you are using the bash shell on a Windows system, you can use theUNIX conventions.

Note: The names of environment variables are not always the same in Windowsand UNIX environments. For example, %TEMP% in Windows environments isequivalent to $TMPDIR in UNIX and Linux environments. Where such variables aredescribed in the guide, both the UNIX and Windows conventions will be used.

Operating system-specific directory names

Where Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus files are identified as located within an archdirectory under NCHOME or OMNIHOME, arch is a variable that represents youroperating system directory. For example:

$OMNIHOME/probes/arch

The following table lists the directory names used for each operating systemcurrently supported by Netcool/OMNIbus.

Installing probesAll probes are installed in a similar way. The process involves downloading theappropriate installation package for your operating system, installing theappropriate files for the version of Netcool/OMNIbus that you are running, andconfiguring the probe to suit your environment.

The installation process consists of the following steps:1. Downloading the installation package for the probe from the Passport

Advantage Online website.Each probe has a single installation package for each operating systemsupported. For details about how to locate and download the installationpackage for your operating system, visit the following page on the IBM TivoliInformation Center:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.netcool_OMNIbus.doc/probes/install/wip/out-html/reference/install_download_intro.html

2. Installing the probe using the installation package.The installation package contains the appropriate files for all supportedversions of Netcool/OMNIbus. For details about how to install the probe torun with your version of Netcool/OMNIbus, visit the following page on theIBM Tivoli Information Center:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.netcool_OMNIbus.doc/probes/install/wip/out-html/reference/install_install_intro.html

3. Configuring the probe.This guide contains details of the essential configuration required to run thisprobe. It combines topics that are common to all probes and topics that arepeculiar to this probe. For details about additional configuration that iscommon to all probes, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and GatewayGuide.

Firewall considerationsWhen using CORBA probes in conjunction with a firewall, the firewall must beconfigured so that the probe can connect to the target system.

Most CORBA probes can act as both a server (listening for connections from thetarget system) and a client (connecting to the port on the target system to whichthe system writes events). If you are using the probe in conjunction with a firewall,you must add the appropriate firewall rules to enable this dual behavior.

There are three possible firewall protection scenarios, for which you mustdetermine port numbers before adding firewall rules:1. If the host on which the probe is running is behind a firewall, you must

determine what remote host and port number the probe will connect to.2. If the host on which the target system is running is behind a firewall, you must

determine the incoming port on which the probe will listen and to which thetarget system will connect.

3. If each host is secured with its own firewall, you must determine the followingfour ports:a. The outgoing port (or port range) for the probe.b. The hostname and port of the target system.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA) 3

Page 14: Corba Huawei

c. The outgoing port on which the target system sends events if the probe isrunning as a client.

d. The incoming port on which the probe listens for incoming events.

Note: Most, but not all, CORBA probes listen on the port specified by theORBLocalPort property. The default value for this property is 0, which means thatan available port is selected at random. If the probe is behind a firewall, the valueof the ORBLocalPort property must be specified as a fixed port number.

CORBA probes that use EventManager or NotificationManager objects may usedifferent hosts and ports from those that use NamingService and EntryPointobjects. If the probe is configured to get object references from a NamingService orEntryPoint object, you must obtain the host and port information from the systemadministrator of the target system. When you have this information, you can addthe appropriate firewall rules.

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

The probe gathers events from the Huawei M2000 system using a 3GPP CORBAinterface.

Data acquisition is described in the following topics:v “Connecting to the CORBA interface”v “Retrieving objects” on page 5v “IRP Agent status” on page 5v “Backoff strategy” on page 5v “Timeout” on page 5v “Filtering notifications and alarms” on page 6v “Lookup table” on page 6v “Command Line Interface” on page 6v “Peer-to-peer failover functionality” on page 8

Connecting to the CORBA interfaceThe probe connects to the CORBA interface using Interoperable Object Reference(IOR) files.

The probe gets the object reference of the AlarmIRPOperation andNotificationIRPOperation objects from the IOR files specified by the AlarmIrpNameand NotificationIrpName properties. The AlarmIRPOperation andNotificationIRPOperation objects form a part of the Integration Reference Point(IRP) Agent.

To get the IOR files, the probe retrieves the Entry Point IRP file specified by theEntryPointIrpFile property.

If Entry Point IRP authentication is enabled on the IRP Agent, you must use theUsername and Password properties to specify the user name and password requiredto log in to the Huawei M2000 system.

4 IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

Page 15: Corba Huawei

Note: If an encrypted password has been configured in the Huawei M2000 EMSfor the RAN Sharing feature, you will have to obtain the encrypted passwordstring from the EMS vendor, Huawei Technologies.

Using FTP

If the Entry Point IRP file is on a remote system, the probe uses a File TransferProtocol (FTP) command to retrieve the file. To acquire the Entry Point IOR fileover FTP, you must specify the following value for the EntryPointIrpFtpCommandproperty:

ftp://username:password@EntryPointIorHost/

where username and EntryPointIorHost are the user name and host name of theEntry Point IRP server. Use the FtpPassword property to specify the password.

Example FTP command:

ftp://trisha:[email protected]

Example of an encrypted FtpPassword property value:

@44:AziJRb8nKabY//lhnhfrg41pCTN5iuCvh96Dcm97jC4=@

For more information about encrypting passwords, see “Encrypting passwords” onpage 8.

Retrieving objectsWhen the Resynch property is set to true, the probe initially receives a list of allactive alarms from the AlarmIRP object.

The probe then connects to the NotificationIRP object and uses the CORBAnotification push model to receive new alarms from the server as they aregenerated. When the Resynch property is set to false, the probe receives only newalarms.

IRP Agent statusThe probe checks the status of the IRP Agent every 60 seconds.

You can use the Agentheartbeat property to change the frequency with which theprobe checks the status of the IRP Agent.

Backoff strategyIf the Retry property is set to true, and the probe fails to establish a connection orloses an existing connection to the device, it reverts to a backoff strategy. The probetries to reestablish a connection after one second, two seconds, then four seconds,and so on, up to a maximum of 4096 seconds. Once the connection is made to theCORBA interface, the probe tries to log in to the device. If the probe fails to log in,it shuts down and tries to connect again. The backoff strategy remains in placeuntil a successful login occurs.

TimeoutThe probe has a timeout facility that allows it to disconnect from the system ifthere has been no activity for a predefined amount of time.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA) 5

Page 16: Corba Huawei

You can use the Timeout property to specify how long the probe waits beforedisconnecting. The default is 0, which instructs the probe to maintain theconnection indefinitely.

Filtering notifications and alarmsYou can use filtering properties to specify how the probe filters events to receiveonly preferred notifications and alarms.

The NotificationFilter and AlarmFilter properties allow you to specify whatnotifications and alarms are sent to the probe. When you use these properties,specify the actual token names. For example, the token h represents the elementNV_PERCEIVED_SEVERITY. To specify that the probe is only sent notifications with aperceived severity of 3, set the NotificationFilter property to $h == 3.

You can specify more complex filters using AND, OR, and NOT operators. Forexample, to specify that the probe receives notifications with a perceived severityof 3 or 4, set the NotificationFilter property to the following value:

($h == 3) OR ($h == 4)

You can use the e and h tokens as notification filter properties.

Lookup tableThe probe is supplied with a lookup table that contains details of the various typesof alarms that the Huawei M2000 generates.

At installation, the Corba_3gpp_V630.lookup file supplied with the probeinstallation package is installed to the following location:

$OMNIHOME/probes/includes/

The following line in the rules file references the lookup file:

include "../includes/Corba_3gpp_V630.lookup"

Note: The include command assumes that the probe is run from the standard$OMNIHOME/probes/ directory. If you are running the probe from a differentdirectory, replace “..” with the absolute directory path to the lookup file. Do notuse the $OMNIHOME environment variable in this directory path.

Command Line InterfaceThe probe is supplied with a Command Line Interface (CLI). This interface enablesyou to execute commands to acknowledge alarms or request a fullresynchronization of the 3GPP interface.

To use the CLI, you must use the CommandPort property to specify a port throughwhich commands will be sent. The default port is 6970. When you want to issuecommands, use Telnet to connect through this port. You can use theCommandPortLimit property to limit the number of Telnet connections that theprobe can make at one time.

The following table describes the commands that you can use with the CLI.

Page 18: Corba Huawei

CLI scripts

Because the CLI uses Telnet connections, you can connect to the probe fromanywhere by creating a desktop tool to open a Telnet connection, send a command,and then close the connection. This means that simple scripts can be set up toallow users to acknowledge selected events from the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbusevent list.

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 otheracts 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 andslave 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 probe]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 probe]Mode : "slave"

Encrypting passwordsYou can encrypt the passwords specified by the Password and FtpPasswordproperties using either the nco_g_crypt utility or the nco_aes_crypt utilitysupplied with Netcool/OMNIbus.

If you encrypt the passwords using nco_aes_crypt, you must also specify valuesfor the ConfigCryptoAlg and ConfigKeyFile properties. For example:ConfigCryptoAlg: ’AES_FIPS’ConfigKeyFile: ’$NCHOME/omnibus/etc/keyfile’

If you encrypt the FTP password using the nco_aes_crypt utility, you must also setthe FtpPasswordAESEncrypted property to true.

Parsing the AdditionalText elementVersion 4.0 of the probe introduced a new element, FULL_NV_ADDITIONAL_TEXT, totokenize parts of the 3GPP interface AdditionalText element.

The Huawei M2000 system appends any data that is not in a name-value pairformat to the AdditionalText element. Earlier versions of the probe tokenized thisunformatted data as an element name without a corresponding value, so this datacould not be parsed by the rules file. The new element FULL_NV_ADDITIONAL_TEXTenables the probe to tokenize the contents of the AdditionalText element.

Running the probeYou run the probe from the command line.

To start the probe, use the following command:

$OMNIHOME/probes/nco_p_huawei_M2000_corba

Known issuesAt the time of release, a known issue was reported that you should be aware ofwhen running the probe.

Alarm comments logged as user ID

The userid_comment_alarm CLI command enables you to add comments to analarm by specifying the alarm ID (NV_ALARM_ID), the user ID of the user making thecomment, and the text of the comment. It is also possible to use this commandwithout specifying the user ID, in which case the user ID specified by theCommentUserId property is added to the related entry in the probe's log file.

However, when you use the command without specifying a user ID, and thecomment that you add contains more than one word, the entire comment string islogged in the probe's log file in place of the user ID. This happens regardless of thevalue specified by the CommentUserId property.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei M2000 (CORBA) 23

Page 34: Corba Huawei

The following example demonstrates how the CLI successfully completes auserid_comment_alarm command where only the alarm ID and the comment stringare entered:> userid_comment_alarm 2042480408 testing purposes onlyCompleted userid_comment_alarm

In this case, the related entry in the probe's log file contains the comment stringtesting purposes only in place of the user ID.
