    Installing probes

    All 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 PassportAdvantage 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 Gateway

    Guide.

    Configuring network resource names

    After installing the probe, you might need to change the names of any networkresources that report alarms.

    The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Theelements are then used to assign values to ObjectServer fields.

    The element $nativeEMSNamecontains the name of the network resource reportingan alarm, as displayed in the EMS user interface. If brackets are passed to the$nativeEMSNameelement as part of a resource name, the node field in the event list

    will not be filled. Therefore, any network resource that reports alarms must beconfigured so that its name does not contain brackets.

    Firewall considerations

    When 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 which

    the 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 mustdetermine 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 mustdetermine 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.

    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 theORBLocalPortproperty. 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 ORBLocalPortproperty 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.

    Configuring firewall settingsThe Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) can be used in conjunction with a firewall.

    If a firewall exists between the probe and the target system, you must configurethe following firewall ports to enable data flow:

    v The Naming Service port number.

    The port for this service is on the target system. You must also specify this porton the probe side of the firewall, using the ORBInitialPort property. The defaultvalue of the ORBInitialPortproperty is 1570.

    v The notification service port number.

    The port for this service is on the target system. This port number is usuallyrandom but can be set to a fixed value by the administrator of the target system.

    No firewall configuration is required on the probe side.v The CORBA Agent (ORB at target system or inter-ORB bridge) port number.

    The port number is specified both on the target system and on the probe side ofthe firewall. On the probe side, use the OrbLocaLPort property to specify thisvalue, which must be greater than 0. The port number on the target system can

    be obtained from either the Naming Service or the Interoperable ObjectReference file (specified by the IORFile property).

    When using the probe over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections, you mustconfigure the same ports listed above.

    SSL-based connectivity

    The Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)connections between the probe and the EMS server. SSL connections provideadditional security when the probe retrieves alarms from the EMS.

    To enable SSL connections, you must obtain the required SSL certificates and the

    Trusted Authority certificate from the EMS vendor, Huawei Technologies. Thecertificates must be added to a local Java keystore so that they can be referenced

    by the ClientCertificateand TrustStore properties.

    Prerequisites

    To create the keystore, you must have the following software installed:

    v The OpenSSL toolkit.

    This is available from http://www.openssl.org/.

    v The IBM KeyMan utility.

    This is available from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/keyman/download.

    You must also obtain the client and server certificates, client_ca.cer andserver_ca.cer, and the server key pair, server_key.pem, from HuaweiTechnologies.

    Note: The certificate and key pair files used here are the default files used by theHuawei T2000 EMS. If you replace these files, you must create a keystorecontaining the new files.

    Creating the SSL keystore

    To create a Java keystore, follow these steps:

    1. Convert the server certificate toPKCS12 format using the following OpenSSLtoolkit command:

    openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey server_key.pem -in server_ca.cer -outserver_ca.pkcs12

    2. Create the keystore using the KeyMan utility:

    a. Start the KeyMan utility.

    b. Click Create Newand select the Keystore token option.

    c. Click File> Import and choose theserver_ca.pkcs12 file that you createdin step 1.

    This imports thekeyEntry into the keystore.

    d. Click File> Import and choose theserver_ca.cercertificate.

    This imports the server certificate into the keystore.e. Click File> Import and choose theclient_ca.cercertificate.

    This imports the client certificate into the keystore.

    f. Click File > Save and enter a password and name for the keystore, forexampletrusted_keystore.jks.

    Enabling SSL connections

    To enable SSL-based connections between the probe and the EMS server, followthese steps:

    1. Set the EnableSSL property to true.

    When the EnableSSLproperty is set to true, the following properties areenabled:

    v ClientCertificate

    v ClientCertificatePassword

    v TrustStore

    v TrustStorePassword

    v EnabledProtocols

    v SecurityProtocol

    2. Use both theClientCertificate property and the TrustStoreproperty tospecify the location of the keystore file trusted_keystore.jks.

    3. Use both theClientCertificatePassword property and the TrustStorePasswordproperty to specify a password for the keystore.

    4. Encrypt the keystore file password using thenco_g_crypt utility.

    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.

    The IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) gathersevents from the EMS using a CORBA interface.

    This section contains the following topics:

    v Event synchronization

    v Server failover on page 7

    v Retrieving alarms on page 7

    v Filtering alarms on page 7

    v Status checking on page 8

    v Backoff strategy on page 8

    v Command line interface on page 8

    v Peer-to-peer failover functionality on page 9

    v Running multiple probes on page 9

    Event synchronizationThe probe supports event synchronization between the EMS server and theObjectServer.

    When the probe reconnects and requests a full resynchronization, the EMS doesnot send any cleared alarms. The ObjectServer will still show those alarms in its

    event list.

    To synchronize the ObjectServer with the EMS so that the ObjectServer shows onlyuncleared events, set the Resynch and EventSynchronizationproperties to true.After the resynchronization is complete, the events that did not come from theEMS through resynchronization (those that have been cleared) will be removedfrom the ObjectServer.

    Note: Event synchronization only works for resynchronization events. It does notaffect any new notification alarms. The ObjectServer will continue to receive allnotifications sent by the EMS, without regard to the state of the alarms.

    Status checkingThe probe checks that the EMS server is running by sending a ping commandevery 60 seconds. You can change this frequency using the AgentHeartbeatproperty.

    Backoff strategy

    If 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.

    Command line interfaceThe Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) is supplied with a Command Line Interface(CLI) that allows you to execute commands using the probe.

    To use the CLI, you must use the CommandPort property in the properties file tospecify a port through which commands will be sent. The default port is 6970.When you want to run commands, use Telnet to connect through this port.

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

    Table 5. CLI commands

    Command Description

    exit/quit Use this command to close the connection.

    help Use this command to display online help aboutthe CLI.

    resynch_alarm Use this command to perform a full or partialresynchronization of the alarms. A full or partial

    resynchronization will depend on the value of theExcludeSeverity properties (Cleared, Critical,Indeterminate, Major, Minor, Warning) specified inthe properties file.

    version Use this command to display the version of theprobe and the CLI.

    Note: As the CLI is based on Telnet connections, you can connect to the probefrom anywhere 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 setup to allow users to acknowledge selected events from the IBM TivoliNetcool/OMNIbus event list.

    Peer-to-peer failover functionalityThe probe supports failover configurations where two probes run simultaneously.

    One probe acts as themaster probe, sending events to the ObjectServer; the otheracts as theslave 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"

    Running multiple probesYou can run multiple instances of the probe.

    For each running instance, specify a different port to which the server listens usingthe ORBLocalPort property.

    Running multiple probes in a failover configuration

    If you have implemented a peer-to-peer failover configuration, both the masterprobe and the slave probe have their own Object Request Broker (ORB) local port.

    Where you are running this configuration in conjunction with a firewall, add thereceiving port of each probe to the firewall rules. The direction of the connection isfrom the target system to the master or slave probe.

    You set the peer-to-peer failover mode in the properties files of the master andslave probes.
