Since the XML interface is integrated into the U2000 installation software, no additional software configuration is required for the installation of the U2000 XML interface.
For details of software requirements U2000 Server, refer to section "Configuration Requirements" in the iManager U2000 Software Installation Guide.
License
The U2000 controls the functions and available resources of the XML NBI through a license.
If you want to enable the XML interface, you need to purchase the U2000 license. Ensure the license support XML interface function before deploying the XML NBI.
For details, see A Relations Between License and XML Interface. If the license does not support the functions or resources needed, contact Huawei engineers to apply for the license.
For the license introduction and information on how to apply for a license, see section Applying for and Updating the License in the iManager U2000 Administrator Guide.
3.3 Logging in to the Client of the NMS Maintenance Suite
After you log in to the client of the NMS Maintenance Suite, you can maintain the U2000 by using the NMS Maintenance Suite, including deploying the U2000 and configuring the instance of the northbound interface.
Prerequisite
l The server of the NMS Maintenance Suite must be started.
l The client and the server of the NMS Maintenance Suite must communicate with each other normally.
Context
In normal cases, the NMS Maintenance Suite server starts along with the OS. You can do as follows to check whether the NMS Maintenance Suite server is started:
l In the Windows OS, check whether the msdaemon.exe and msserver.exe processes are started in the Task Manager window. If you can find the two processes in the process list, it indicates that the NMS Maintenance Suite server is started. Otherwise, open the DOS window and run the following command to start the NMS Maintenance Suite server:
> net start nodemgr
l In the Solaris or SUSE Linux OS, run the following command as the root user to check whether the NMS Maintenance Suite server is started:
# ps -ef | grep java
If ./engineering/jre/jre_unix/bin/java is displayed, it indicates that the NMS Maintenance Suite server is started. Otherwise, run the following commands to start the NMS
Maintenance Suite server:
# cd /opt/HWENGR/engineering
# ./startserver.sh
Procedure
1 On a computer installed with the NMS Maintenance Suite client, double-click the U2000 MSuite shortcut icon on the desktop and then wait about one minute. The Login dialog box is displayed.
NOTE
l In the Solaris OS, you must log in to the Java desktop system as the root user. Otherwise, the U2000 MSuite shortcut icon is not displayed on the desktop.
l In the SUSE Linux OS, you cannot log in to the NMS Maintenance Suite client through the shortcut icon. You need to run the following commands as the root user to start the NMS Maintenance Suite client:
# cd /opt/HWENGR/engineering
# ./startclient.sh
2 Set the related login parameters.
The login parameters are described as follows:
l IP Address: It refers to the system IP address of the computer where the NMS Maintenance Suite server resides. In a distributed system, you need to enter the system IP address of the master server.
l Port No.: The default port number is 12212. You do not need to change the default value during login.
l User Name: The default user name is admin.
l Password: The initial password is admin.
3 Click OK.
NOTE
l When you log in to the client of the NMS Maintenance Suite, a progress bar showing the progress of querying components and instances is displayed. In this case, wait until the operation is complete.
l The NMS Maintenance Suite works in single-user mode. That is, only one NMS Maintenance Suite client can log in to the NMS Maintenance Suite server at one time. In a high availability system, only one site can be logged in at one time.
----End
Result
If a dialog box is displayed during the login, indicating that network configuration information is inconsistent and re-synchronization is required after login, read through the message to learn the server that needs to be synchronized. Then, do as follows:
1. On the NMS Maintenance Suite client, click the Server tab.
2. Right-click the server whose network configuration needs to be synchronized, and choose Synchronize the network configuration from the shortcut menu. A dialog box is displayed for you to confirm the operation.
NOTE
Before synchronizing network configuration, you need to stop NMS services. For details, see the U2000 Administrator Guide.
3. Click OK.
3.4 Checking the XML NBI Status
After check the license and ensure it is support XML functions, you need to check the current status of XML NBI, and deploy the XML NBI according the status.
Context
The XML NBI is one of the components of U2000. The installation of the XML NBI is integrated in the process of installing the U2000 server. There are two cases of the installation.
l If the XML NBI is not installed during the installation of the U2000 server, to enable the interface, you need to add the component first and then add the instance. For details, see 3.5 Deploying the XML NBI for the First Time.
l If the XML NBI is installed during the installation of the U2000 server, to enable the interface, you need to configure the instance. For details, see 3.6 Configuring the XML NBI.
The details for how to install the U2000 Server, refer to iManager U2000 Software Installation Guide. If you want to install XML NBI, ensure you have select Northbound XML Interface component during the installation of the U2000 server.
Procedure
1 Log in to the client of the NMS Maintenance Suite. For details, see 3.3 Logging in to the Client of the NMS Maintenance Suite.
2 Click Instance tab, check whether the AgentXML exist in the instance list.
l If the AgentXML instance exist, refer the steps in 3.6 Configuring the XML NBI enable the XML NBI.
l If the AgentXML instance not exist, you need to check whether the XML NBI deployment package exist according the Step 3.
3 Click Deployment Package tabs, check whether the XML NBI exist in the deployment package list.
l If the XML NBI deployment package exist, refer the steps in 3.5.2 Adding the XML NBI Instance enable the XML NBI.
l If the XML NBI deployment package not exist, refer the steps in 3.5 Deploying the XML NBI for the First Time enable the XML NBI.
----End
3.5 Deploying the XML NBI for the First Time
By default, the XML NBI is not installed during the installation of U2000 server. To enable the XML NBI, you need to add the XML NBI the XML NBI component first, then add the XML NBI instance.
3.5.1 Adding XML NBI Component
The XML NBI is one component of the U2000. If you have not installed the XML NBI by default, you need to add the XML NBI component.
3.5.2 Adding the XML NBI Instance
The type of XML NBI deployment package is system single-instance, you can deploy one instance only. After adding the XML NBI component, you need to adding XML NBI instance to enable the XML interface. You need set the general parameters, and it is recommended you set the advanced parameters to default value.
3.5.1 Adding XML NBI Component
The XML NBI is one component of the U2000. If you have not installed the XML NBI by default, you need to add the XML NBI component.
Prerequisite
l The NMS Maintenance Suite server installed on the master and slave servers must be started.
l The System Monitor server of the U2000 must be started.
l The Database server process must be in the Running state.
l The NMS Maintenance Suite client communicates with the NMS Maintenance Suite server in the normal state.
Context
l In a distributed system, you only need to log in to the NMS maintenance tool server of the master server to perform this operation.
l In a high availability system, you only need to log in to the NMS maintenance tool server of the primary site to perform this operation.
Procedure
1 Log in to the client of the NMS Maintenance Suite. For details, see 3.3 Logging in to the Client of the NMS Maintenance Suite.
2 On the NMS Maintenance Suite client, choose Deploy > Add Component. The Add Component dialog box is displayed.
CAUTION
l In the distributed system, the XML NBI could be deployed in master server only.
l You can add one XML NBI component only.
3 Choose the Northbound XML Interface component and click OK, the progress bar is displayed.
4 Wait until the dialog box is displayed to prompt the message The component is successfully added.
5 Click OK, completed the operation.
