Universal Device Instance Objective

The section introduces configuration of “Universal Device Instance”. Procedure

 Universal Device Instance Query

Select “Universal Device Instance” from “Device Performance” page referring to Figure3-7-3. The “Universal Device Instance” displays created universal device instance, shown as Figure3-7-12:

Chapter3 Network Element Management Module Introduction

Figure3-7-12 Universal Device Instance Page

The information of created universal instance can be queried by inputting query conditions such as instance name, status, resource name, template name, sampling/report status and instance order.

 Create Universal Device Instance

1. Right click an item from universal device instance list and select “Create New Performance Instance” from the right click menu. The “Create New Performance Instance” dialog will appear as shown in Figure3-7-13 below, one or more device resources can be selected for further configuration.

Figure3-7-13 Create New Universal Device Instance-1

2. The second step dialog of created new performance instance will appear by clicking “Next” button. Select performance template corresponding with device type in step one from the dialog of second step of created new performance template, referring to Figure3-7-14 below:

Chapter3 Network Element Management Module Introduction

Figure3-7-14 Create New Universal Device Instance-2

Note：

During the creation of device instance, performance index of instance in a same device cannot be duplicated. For example, device 1 creates two device instances, in which instance 1 binds with template 1 while instance 2 binds with template 2, in this cast performance index in template 1 and 2 shall not be duplicated, otherwise a failured prompt window will be popped up during the creation, referring to Figure3-7-15. Additionally, the prompt also appears when the selected device type does not match the template.

3. The third step dialog of created new performance instance will appear by clicking “Next” button, as shown as Figure3-7-16 below. The instance and template can be located then.

4. The forth step dialog of created new performance instance will appear by clicking the above “Next” button. The step is to establish start/stop to the instance. If auto start up is selected, then the starting to selected instance must be established in manual; if timing start up is selected, then the system will implement the starting according to defined time. Similarly, the instance stop obeys the same rule that it has two algorithms as auto start up and timing start up, referring to Figure3-7-17 below:

5. Click “Complete” button to finish the performance instance creation, referring to Figure3-7-18:

Select an item from device performance instance list and right click, the right click menu appears as shown in Figure3-7-19. Every option in the menu can be seen from the tool bar as well.

 Delete universal device instance

Select a device performance instance item and right click, select “Delete Performance Instance” from the right click menu or click [ ] button, and then click “Confirm” from the confirmation dialog to delete the selected universal device instance.

 Set index parameter

Select a device performance instance item and right click, select “Set Index Parameter” from the right click menu or click [ ] button, and then modify the sampling time interval to the instance via the popped up index parameter setting dialog.

 Performance index management

Select a device performance instance item, press [ ] button from the line where the item being listed to check on performance index contained by the instance. If the selected performance instance is in stopped status, it is capable to re-proviison to the index name, description information, threshold and sampling time.

Chapter3 Network Element Management Module Introduction Select a device performance instance item, press [ ] button from the line where the item being listed to modify the starting/stopping plan of the instance.

 Start instance

Instance status can be shown from the instance list that the status is divided into “Stopped” and “Started”. If the selected instance is at “Stopped” status, then it can be started by selecting “Start Instance” from right click menu or by selecting [ ] button. Once the instance is started successful, the status would turn into “Started”, referring to Figure3-7-19 below:

Figure3-7-19 Started Device Performance Instance

 Stop instance

If the selected instance is at “Started” status, then it can be stopped by selecting “Stop Instance” from right click menu or by selecting [ ] button. Once the instance is stopped successful, the status would turn into “Stopped”, referring to Figure3-7-20 below:

Figure3-7-20Stopped Device Performance Instance

 Performance real-time Monitor

Performance real-time monitor is to perform real time monitor to one of the performance indexes of a device with sampling time interval 3 seconds. Select a device performance instance and press [ ] button from the line where the item being listed to check on the performance index contained by the instance.

1. Select a performance index and right click, the popped up window appears as shown in Figure3-7-21 below:

Figure3-7-21 Start Real-time Performance Monitor

2. Select “Start Instance” to start up the performance index, then the status turns into “Started”. Click “Confirm” and the performance real time monitor window appears as shown in Figure3-7-22 below. The data sampling is updated every 3 seconds that along with time processes, the curve slides left.

Figure3-7-22 Single Window Performance Real-time Monitor

There are two options for performance real-time monitor window, “Monitor” and “Window”. The monitor menu allows the user to lock on specific performance monitoring that once locked, an administrator password is required for further operation. The window menu is applied for designating distribution to real-time performance statistic window where multiple performance indexes can be real-time sampled at a time with overlap layout, referring to Figure3-7-23 below.

In order to provide convenience, it is able to pick designated window to top from overlapped windows by opening “Window” menu under “Overlap Window” distribution.

Note：

Data of real-time sampling is recorded in instance management list rather than being recored in performance statistic. Only the sampling data being instance started can be joined into performance statistic.

 Performance Statistic

Select an instance and click [ ] button at the instance to open data sampling/report dialog, referring to Figure3-7-26 below:

Chapter3 Network Element Management Module Introduction

Figure3-7-26 Performance Statistic – Data Gragh

Select the icon of “Data Gragh” and designate particular index to the instance, select time interzone and click “Confirm” button to check on performance sampling detailes of the device in a particular time span.

Select the icon of “Data Sheet” to check on the sampling data in the form of data sheet, referring to Figure3-7-27 below:

Figure3-7-27 Performance Statistic – Data Sheet

Select the icon of “Trend Analysis” to analyze the trends according to sampling record of designated index. The trend is displayed as the form of diagram, referring to Figure3-7-28 below:
