Maintenance Overview
In this chapter, you will learn about:

Classification of EMS maintenance operations

Management rules for the EMS

Maintenance Classification
The maintenance operations on EMS fall into two categories: routine
maintenance and emergency maintenance.

Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance involves checking the EMS running status
periodically, and handling the problems promptly; so as to find hidden
trouble, prevent accident, find fault, and handle them as early as possible.

Emergency Maintenance
Emergency maintenance is also called troubleshooting. It
maintenance tasks brought by transmission equipment faults or
adjustments, such as the maintenance tasks to handle equipment
line faults, and emergency events found and recorded in
maintenance.

involves
network
damage,
routine

Management Rules for EMS


1. Do not exit the EMS when it working normally. Exiting the EMS will not
interrupt services; however, the EMS would be unable to monitor the
NEs.
2. Create a unique account for each user to log into the EMS, assign
proper authorities to each account, and change the EMS password
periodically to ensure its security.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

3. Do not use the EMS to dispatch services during the traffic peak hours.
Otherwise, any wrong operation will seriously affect the services.
Choose the period when the traffic is the least to dispatch services.
4. Back up the data in time after dispatching services, so that the
services can be recovered promptly in the case of fault.
5. Do not play games on the EMS computer or copy irrelevant
files/software to the EMS computer. Use the anti-virus software to kill
virus on the EMS computer periodically to prevent the EMS computer
from getting infected by virus.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter

Routine Maintenance

Operation Instructions
The EMS is a very important tool for routine maintenance. To ensure the
EMS is running reliably, the maintenance personnel at the site where the
EMS is located should check the running status of the equipment via EMS
everyday.
This chapter briefly describes the EMS maintenance operations. For
operation details, refer to the Unitrans ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Unified
SNMS/EMS of Optical Network Operation Manual.

Managing Users
Purpose
In order to prevent illegal user from logging into the EMS, and to
guarantee normal running and service security of equipment, it is
necessary to change the password of an EMS user and assign proper
operation authority to an EMS user.

Operations
1. Assign an EMS user with a unique username, a password,
management objects, and a user level according to his operation
authorities.

Note: The EMS provides four levels of users: administrator, maintainer,


operator, and monitoring user; each of which has certain operation authorities.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

2. Change the login password for each EMS user periodically.

Tip: An administrator has all the operation authorities on the EMS, and an
improper operation taken by him may result in serious damage to the system.
Therefore, it is suggested no to log into the EMS as an administrator during routine
operations. Instead, create a monitoring user and log into the EMS as a monitoring
user.

Inspection Criteria
1. An EMS user can log into the EMS using the designated username and
password; and he has been assigned with proper operation
authorities.
2. An EMS user can change his password periodically.

Troubleshooting
1. If an EMS user has improper operation authorities or cannot change
the password, ask the administrator to check the configuration data of
the user or change the authorities and password of the user.
2. To troubleshoot fault of EMS connection, refer to the Handling EMS
Connection Fault section in Chapter 5.

Checking EMS Connection


Purpose
To ensure that the EMS can reflect the equipment running status in time
and accurately, and can monitor the equipment effectively, it is necessary
to check the connection between the equipment and the EMS.

Operations
1. On the computer installed with the EMS client software, run the
ZXONM E300 client software and log into the server.
2. In the EMS client operation window, select an online NE, and click the
Maintenance -> Time Management menu item.

Inspection Criteria
1. Based on the Operations described in step 1, the user can log into the
server normally from the client computer.
2. Based on the Operations described in step 2, the NE's NCP time can be
queried.

4Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 2 - Routine Maintenance

Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot fault of EMS connection, refer to the Handling EMS
Connection Fault section in Chapter 5.

Monitoring Topology
Purpose
The ZXONM E300 client operation window can give audible and visible
alarms. User can monitor the running status of the current subnet and NEs
via the navigation tree, topology, NE icons, and the board management
dialog box; and can judge the alarm level through the sound or color given
with the alarm.

Operations
1. Log into the EMS server on the client computer, and enters the EMS
client operation window.
2. Observe the NE icons in the client operation window, and the board
icons in the board management dialog box.

Note: The EMS software can only monitor or manage the NEs that are
communicating with the EMS computer normally.

Inspection Criteria
1.

The NE icon is not grey which indicates that the NE is online.

2.

The NE icon bears no alarm identifier.

3.

The optical connections are normal.

Troubleshooting
1. To troubleshoot fault of EMS connection, refer to the Handling EMS
Connection Fault section in Chapter 5.
2. If the NE icon bears alarm identifier, query the detailed alarm message
in the current alarm monitoring dialog box or window. To handle alarm
messages, refer to the maintenance manual of the SDH equipment.
3. If the optical connection is a dotted line in the EMS, check the
corresponding optical fiber and fiber pigtail.

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

Monitoring Alarms
Purpose
In the ZXONM E300 EMS, user can monitor the alarm messages of a NE,
so as to know about the NE current running status, to discover and handle
the NE alarm messages.

Note: The EMS software can only monitor or manage the NEs that are
communicating with the EMS computer normally.

Operations
1. In the EMS client operation window, open the monitoring window to
monitor all the NEs alarms at real-time.
2. Query the NEs current or history alarm messages in the EMS client
operation window.

Inspection Criteria
1.

The NE has no alarm message at present.

2.

The NE has no unacknowledged history alarm.

Troubleshooting
1. To troubleshoot fault of EMS connection, refer to the Handling EMS
Connection Fault section in Chapter 5.
2. To handle alarm messages, refer to the maintenance manual of the
SDH equipment.

Monitoring Performance
Purpose
In the ZXONM E300 EMS, the user can monitor the performance message
of the NE; thus keep aware of the current service performance of the NE,
and detect/handle the performance message of the NE in time.

Operations
In the client operation window of the EMS software, query the latest 15
minutes and 24 hours performance data of the NE.

6Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 2 - Routine Maintenance

Inspection Criteria
1.

For digital performance, the NE has no over-threshold event.

2. For analog performance, the NEs performance should comply with


corresponding index.

Troubleshooting
To handle performance messages, refer to the maintenance manual of the
SDH equipment.

Querying System Configuration


Purpose
In the ZXONM E300 EMS software, user can query the configuration
information of the network through the configuration menus. The result of
this query is the network configuration in the EMS software, not
necessarily the actual configuration of the NE. To obtain the actual
configuration and current working status of the NE, user needs to perform
the operations such as automatically uploading data, backing up NE data,
and comparing the EMS database and the NE database.

Operations
1. In the client operation window of the EMS software, select an NE, and
then click the System -> NCP Data Management -> Auto Upload
and Compare menu item. Then the EMS will automatically issue the
upload and compare command according to the period set by the
user. Or
2. In the client operation window of the EMS software, select an NE, and
then click the System -> NCP Data Management -> DB Upload
and Compare menu item. Then the EMS will issue the upload and
compare command for one time.

Inspection Criteria
The current network/NE configurations agree with the actual networking.

Troubleshooting

If the current service meets the user requirements, the network


configuration data should be corrected to comply with the actual
networking.

If the current service does not meet the user requirements, the
network configuration data should be corrected to comply with the user
requirements.

Installation and Configuration of


Windows
For hardware requirements for the computer installed with Windows
operating system, refer to Table 6. Select host according to the quantity of
NEs to be managed in the network, as listed in Table 7.
Install the Windows operating system according to its related manuals.

Caution: The ZXONM E300 which uses SYBASE as its database must be
installed on Windows 2000 Server, and Windows XP is not supported.

After installation, it is required to log into the operating system as the


super user to install and operate the ZXONM E300 EMS.

FAQ
In the Unix operating system, various problems may come up. Sometimes,
the system administrator has to retrieve the loss caused by serious
accident.
This section introduces some emergency cases and the solutions in the
Unix operating system.

What are emergency startup floppy disks? How to


make them?
The emergency startup floppy disks are very important tools for system
administration. They include a system boot floppy disk and a root file
system floppy disk.
When the system is working normally, a qualified administrator should
make an emergency startup floppy disk for Unix system. Use the
emergency startup floppy disk to restore the system when the system
suffers disastrous damage and would not respond when being restarted.
The emergency startup floppy disk can restore the damaged root file
system, so that the operating system needs no reinstallation.
To make the emergency floppy disks
1.

Startup the operating system in the single-user maintenance mode.

2. Format the two floppy disks that are to be used for the emergency
startup floppy disks.
3. Make two emergency startup floppy disks: a system boot floppy disk
and a root file system floppy disk.

22

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 3 - Maintenance of Operating System

Warning: Each computer has its own emergency startup floppy disks which
cannot be used by another computer; since the emergency startup floppy disks
would not work on another computer, and evern worse, they may bring severer
damage to another computer.

What to do when forgetting the super user password?


First, the system administrator needs to use the emergency startup floppy
disks to start up the operating system. Then install the root file system on
the hard disk to the /mnt directory. After that, edit corresponding files to
delete the password of the root account.
The detailed steps are as follows:
1.

Insert the system boot disk into the floppy drive.

2.

Power on the computer.

3. Insert the root file system disk into the floppy drive as per the system
prompt.
4. After system has

5. Execute the following command to install the root file system on the
hard disk to the /mnt directory.
# mount /dev/hd0root /mnt

Then the /etc/passwd file changes its location to /mnt/etc/passwd.


6. Follow the steps below to edit the corresponding files using the vi
editor and delete the password of the root account.

For an operating system configured with lower security level


Need to edit the /mnt/etc/passwd file in which each line has the
format Loginname:Password:UID:GID:Userinformation:Home:Shell.
Delete the password information in the second domain of root
account.
For example:
Change the line of root:Ctsf6P/L/nav6,..1k:0:1:Superuser:/: into
the following line:
root:,..1k:0:1:Superuser:/:

For an operating system configured with higher security level


Need to edit the /mnt/etc/shadow file.

Delete the password information in the second domain of root
account.
For example, the root:Ctsf6P/L/nav6:9881:0:0 is changed to
root::9881:0:0 &gt

Warning: Be careful not to delete other information by accident when


editing a file in the hard disk file system.

How to retrieve lost files?


If user deletes important files by accident, there is no command in Unix to
retrieve the files directly. Follow the steps below to retrieve the lost files:
1. Copy the corresponding files from the emergency startup floppy disk
into the hard disk file system.
2. If the deleted file is not in the emergency startup floppy disk, choose
one of the following methods:

Copy the file from another system.

Retrieve the file from the backup system.

3. If none of the above methods can retrieve the lost files, the user
would have to recreate the file.

procedure may be lost. Therefore, make sufficient preparations for the upgrade
and make the upgrade procedure as short as possible.

Upgrade Operations
Follow the steps below to upgrade ZXONM E400 to ZXONM E300:
1. Check the network of ZXWM-32(V1) NEs using the standby ZXONM
E400. Make sure that the optical powers of all main optical paths are
normal, and no OTU board reports alarm.
2. Run the data transfer tool on the ZXONM E400 computer to transfer
the data of active ZXONM E400 onto ZXONM E300.

Note:

The data transferred include the configuration data and the history data, thus
ensures that these data would not get lost.

The length of time spent on data transfer varies with the amount of history
data.

Make sure that the ZXONM E300 employs the correct ManagerID for data
transfer.

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

3. Restart ZXONM E300 upon completion of data transfer. Once ZXONM


E300 is started up normally, set the NE A to be the access NE in
ZXONM E300.
4. Now, ZXONM E300 should be able to display the data of ZXWM-32(V1)
NEs. However, it cannot manage these NEs yet.
5. Upgrade the program of NE A to V1.40 using ZXONM E400. NE A will
reset upon successful upgrade, and ZXONM E400 cannot manage NE A
any more. Instead, ZXONM E300 can manage NE A. And it can
manage the whole ZXWM-32(V1) network before long.
6. Use ZXONM E300 to upgrade the programs of all the other
ZXWM-32(V1) NEs to V1.40. After this, the standby ZXONM E400
cannot manage the ZXWM-32(V1) NEs any more. Instead, the ZXONM
E300 can manage the whole network of ZXWM-32(V1).
7. Use the ZXONM E300 to download database for each ZXWM-32(V1) NE,
so as to synchronize the NE data with ZXONM E300 data.

Caution: If a ZXWM-32(V1) NE is connected with ZXONM E300 through


DCN, it is forbidden to download database to this NE.
Because, in order to use ZXONM E300 to download database to a NE wich accesses
the DCN, it is necessary to set the gateway information on this NE via a serial port.
Otherwise, the routes on DCN will be lost and the monitoring on the NE will be
interreupted. However, current ZXONM E300 cannot set gateway on ZXWM-32(V1)
NE.

8. Observe the ZXWM-32(V1) NEs in ZXONM E300 for about four hours.
If no problem comes up, the upgrade had succeeded.

Upgrading ZXONM E300


Caution: If both the NCP program and the ZXONM E300 need to be
upgraded, upgrade the NCP program in current ZXONM E300 first. After that,
upgrade the ZXONM E300.

Note: ZXMP S380/S390/S385/S330/S325/S200 equipments all support the


remote online upgrade of NCP program, which makes the NCP program upgrade
very convenient. The upgrade operations of NCP program vary with equipment
type. For detailed operations, refer to the Unitrans ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Unified
EMS/SNMS of Optical Network Operation Manual (Volume IV) Agent
Configurations.

Preparing for Upgrade


1. Make sure that the ZXONM E300 is working normally. Remove any
fault before upgrading.
2. Make sure that the free space on EMS computers hard disk is enough.
In Windows operating system, at least 4 GB free space is required; in
Unix operating system at least 5 GB free space is required, and the
v g d i s p l a y command can be executed to check the free space.
3. Make sure that the free space under the root directory is at least 80
MB. In Unix operating system. The d f - k command can be used to
check free space of a file system.
4. Make sure that no NE is in the switching state. Otherwise, find out the
reason for the switching. Do not perform the upgrade until the
switching disappears.
5. Make sure that the version of ZXONM E300 installation software is
correct and is compliant with the NEs NCP program.
6. Make a copy of the old version installation software of ZXONM E300;
so that once the upgrade fails, the EMS can be recovered to the old
version.
7. To upgrade ZXONM E300 in Unix, check if the patch of Unix system is
correct. For patch requirement, refer to the Installing Patch section in
Chapter 3.

FAQ
FAQ for EMS Installation in HP-UX
1. During the process of EMS installation, the system is powered off
suddenly. After the system reboots, the disk space becomes
insufficient. Why does this happen?
Possible causes:

46

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 4 - EMS Installation and Upgrade

i.

Some temporary files are stored under the directory /tmp during
installation. After the system is powered off suddenly, these files
are not cleared up automatically.

ii. After the system is powered off, it saves the information which was
in the buffer into lost+found folder under the operation directory.
This information is not released after the system reboots. Execute
the command b d f to measure the used space. The contents of this
folder are stored in the file index node. Therefore, corresponding
records cannot be queried.
iii. In case of sudden power-off, the system saves the information
which was in the buffer to the /var/preserve folder. This
information is not released after the system reboots.
iv. Sudden power-off makes temporary files under the /var/tmp
directory not released.
Solution:
i.

Delete the files in the folders: /tmp, /opt/lost+found, /var/tmp, and


/var/preserve.

ii. If the above operation cannot work, delete the EMS installation
directory, and re-install the EMS.
2. When creating logical volume, the disk space is insufficient. How to
deal with it?
Check the disk and if you find that the free space is insufficient, you
should re-partition the hard disk. Because the HP platform does not
provide the command to reduce the space occupied by the file system,
you must back up the file system to another file system. Then, delete
the original file system, re-create a smaller file system, and finally
restore the data of the original file system. The detailed procedure is
as follows:
i.

Execute the command b d f to search the file system that can be


reduced.
Usually, it is recommended to use the file system which is large,
with large available space that satisfies the space requirement and
low utilization ratio, as the target to be reduced. In most cases,
you can select the /opt file system.
After the command # b d f is executed, the following information will
be displayed:

F i l e s y s t e m indicates the file system;


k b y t e s indicates the size of the file system;
u s e d indicates the used space in unit of Kbyte;
a v a i l indicates the available space in unit of Kbyte;
% u s e d indicates the space utilization ratio;
M o u n t e d o n indicates the installation location.

According to the above result, select the /opt file system as the file
system to be reduced.
ii. Select the intermediate storage file system.
The intermediate storage file system is used to store the data of
the file system which is to be reduced. It must have sufficient free
space. If the space is insufficient, you can delete useless files in
this system or select multiple intermediate storage file systems.
For example, /opt has 72000 KB files, and /home has 213865 KB of
space. Therefore, select /home as the intermediate storage file
system.
iii. Reboot the system and log in as a single user. Copy the data of the
file system which is to be reduced into the intermediate storage file
system. The commands are:
#mount *
#cp r opt /home/

iv. Delete the logical volume where the filesystemsrc file system is
located.
To delete the /opt logical volume, the commands are:
#umount /opt

//Uninstall the logical volume to be deleted.

#lvremove /dev/vg00/lvol6

//Delete logical volume.

v. Re-create a logical volume smaller than the original logical volume,


and then create the file system and install it to the original
directory.
To add the file system volume named lvo16 whose size is 80 MB
onto vg00 using the directory /opt as the mounting point, the
commands are as follows:
#lvcreate -L 80 -n lvo16 /dev/vg00

//Create the logical volume lvo16


#newfs -F hfs /dev/vg00/lvo16

//Create a file system for the logical volume


# mount /dev/vg00/lvo16 /opt

//Mount the logical volume on /opt


#bdf

//Query whether the logical volume is successfully created.

Chapter 4 - EMS Installation and Upgrade

vi. Execute the following command to copy files back to the re-created
file system and restore the original file system:
#cp r /home/opt/* /opt/

Note: The calculation methods for the free space of a volume group is as
follows:

Log in the system as root user, execute the command # v g d i s p l a y , and


obtain the values of Free PE and PE Size from the displayed results.

Free PE is the free space of the volume group, in the unit of PE; PE Size is the
space size of one PE, in the unit of MB.

The free space of a volume group = Free PE * PE Size (unit: MB).

3. How to deal with the failure when uninstalling the CD-ROM file system
through the u m o u n t command?
After installing the EMS on the HP-UX platform using a CD and
rebooting the computer, execute the u m o u n t command. However, the
system reports an error, and the CD cannot be taken out. In this case,
follow the procedure below to take out the CD:
i.

Execute the command m o u n t to install the CD-ROM at a mounting


point (suppose the device file name of CD-ROM is /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
and the installation location is /SD_CDROM).
# mount /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM

ii. Execute the command u m o u n t to uninstall the CDROM.


# umount /SD_CDROM

During the procedure, if the system prompts error information, ignore


it.
4. After the EMS is installed on HP-UNIX platform, the client cannot be
started. Why does this happen?
Possible cause: The color bits of the monitor are set incorrectly.
Solution: In the graphic mode, make the following modifications to set
the color bits of the monitor to 24 bits.
i.

Run the sam program.

ii. Select

EMS Connection Fault


Common Faults
1. Causes

External causes: Power supply faults, such as equipment power failure


or too less power supply voltage; fiber faults, such as fiber
performance deterioration or too high loss.

Improper operation: There is wrong configuration.

Equipment faults: Network adapter fault, optical line board fault,


CSA/CSE board fault, or a lot of performance data is reported from NE
to the EMS resulting in ECC path block.

2. Troubleshooting Procedure

Check external causes, e.g., power failure or fiber performance


degradation.

Check whether the EMS configuration is correct or otherwise.

Use the test method to perform self-loop in each segment and locate
the faulty NE.

Use the alarm analysis method to check the optical board and CSA/CSE
board.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 57

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

Typical Faults and Analysis


1. Symptom:
The EMS cannot get connected to NCP through the Qx interface. It
cannot ping through NCP but can ping through itself.
Analysis and handling:

Check whether the network cable works normally, and whether its type
is correct (straight-through cable or crossover cable).

Check whether the computer network configuration is correct. The EMS


can ping through itself, it indicates that the network adaptor is
correctly installed and the network configuration takes effect. The EMS
cannot ping through NCP; it indicates that the EMS computer, the NE
IP address and the subnet mask may be in different network section.

Set the all the bits of the DIP switch of NCP to ON, setting the NCP to
be in DOWNLOAD status. Execute the t e l n e t 1 9 2 . 1 9 2 . 1 9 2 . 1 1
command, and check whether the NE IP and server IP comply with the
EMS database configurations.

2. Symptom:
Insufficient sub-manager management networks.
Analysis and handling:

Check whether all the sub-managers have been started. If the ZXONM
E300 EMS runs on the UNIX platform, execute the command p s - e f
| g r e p s m g r to check whether they have been started; if the EMS runs
on the Windows 2000 platform, use the task manager to check it.

Check whether the NE is beyond the management capability of


sub-managers. It is recommended that the maximum number under
the management of each sub-manager should not exceed 100. If the
number exceeds this value, start another sub-manager.

3. Symptom:
EMS is unable to manage the access NE, or other NEs except the
access NE.
Analysis and handling:

The current EMS and NEs do not belong to the same network section.

For an NE in the IP protocol stack version, EMS and the NE belong to


same network segment. However, the user does not set IP address of
the access NE as default gateway or do not set a route.

There are redundant IP routes in the EMS. Delete the redundant IP


routes.

4. Symptom:
The EMS can only normally manage some NEs in the network.
Analysis and handling:

58

Check whether the unmanageable NEs are offline, and set the offline
NEs to online NEs.

Check whether the optical connections between NEs are correct.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 5 - Maintenance of EMS

Check whether NCP versions of the unmanageable NEs are correct. If


they are incorrect, re-apply the NCP applications which support this
EMS.

When EMS runs on the UNIX platform, check whether the system
parameters of m a x f i l e s a n d n f i l e s are correct.

5. Symptom:
Confusion in IP area division leads to abnormal NE management.
Analysis and handling:
In actual networking, try not to divide any area or use the backbone
area under any circumstances. Generally, when there are too many
NEs on a network (e.g., over 64), the NEs should be divided into
different areas. When the number of NEs exceeds 128, they should be
divided into different areas. In this case, since the network section
division is wrong, it becomes difficult for EMS to monitor all the NEs.

Check whether all the NEs distributed in different areas are directly
connected with the boundary NEs in backbone area.

Confirm that the total number of NEs exceed 128 either in the
backbone area or in non-backbone area, and are directly connected
with the border NEs If this value is exceeded the normal management
becomes impossible. In addition, it is recommended that each border
NE is to be directly connected with the one in non-backbone area.

Confirm whether the NEs in backbone area are connected properly.

Since the ECCs cannot directly work with each other in non-backbone
area, and can only work via backbone area, so please check for the
failure of NE in the ECC path between the backbone area and the
boundary.

Try to reduce the border NEs. Sometime, dividing NEs into many areas
may complicate inter-area relationship.

Database Fault
1. Symptom:
Time out always happens when restoring the database in EMS.
Analysis and handling:

It is the GUI that reports time out.

The database implements the data restore and thus will not be affected
by the GUI time out.

Wait for about 20 minutes. Then log into the GUI again to solve the
problem.

2. Symptom:
The EMS always report that the database crosses the threshold.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

59

ZXONM E300 (V3.19R2) Maintenance Manual

Analysis and handling:

The reason may be that the maximum number of records set for the
database is too large.

Click the System -> System Data Management -> DB History


Data Archiving menu item. In the DB Capacity Set page, change
the MAX Rows parameter to be smaller, e.g. 5000.

For data to be dumped, export them to a tap driver.

3. Symptom:
After the database has been started up, it is necessary to try several
times to log into the GUI.
Analysis and handling:

This is because that the database startup process is slow.

Wait for 30 seconds after the database is started up. And then log into
the GUI.

Manager Fault
1. Symptom:
Once the Unix system time is modified, the alarm will be refreshed
automatically, and the Manager wont work normally.
Analysis and handling:

Since the Unix system uses the system timer to get the system time.
Once the system time is modified, it may stop the timer or result in
some abnormal case.

Restart the EMS after modifying the system time.

It is recommended to restart the Unix operating system as well.

2. Symptom:
In Unix operating system, after the EMS has been running for some
time, the NCP time gets several hours earlier or later than the Manager
time.
Analysis and handling:
In Unix, check if the timezone is set to the local time zone. If not, set it
to the local time zone.

Agent Fault
1. Symptom:
On HP-UNIX platform, the current alarms can be queried by EMS but
not be reported automatically.

60

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 5 - Maintenance of EMS

Analysis and handling:

Check if the alarm can be queried or not. If not, it indicates Agent does
not report alarm indeed. Thus, the communication with Agent should
be checked by p i n g or the method of obtaining time.

Check if the time of the working station is changed or not. Sometime,


modify the time can make the interval timer stop. Hence, all of the
processes which are relating to the timing will stop. Here, restart
computer can erase this kind of problems.

Other Faults
1. Symptom:
After install EMS which is MSSQL version on the Windows 2000 Server
operation system and start the EMSs Server, the user can not log into
the Server via GUI. Normally, this fault is caused by the disconnection of
the database.
Analyse and Handling

Open Windows Task Management to check the process list, if there


is no d b s v r . e x e process. Then go to the D B directory to check the log
file named d b s v r . l o g , finally, find that the d b s v r . e x e process had
been exited for unexpected reason.

Restart Server and log into the Server via GUI again, but the fault is
still there.

Uninstall ZXONM E300, restart the operation system, and then reinstall,
restart and re-log into the E300, but the fault is still existed.

Start DBMAN tool and select 2. Dataserver Management1. Start


Dataserver3. Use isql tool, if the i s q l tool can be started
successfully, it indicates the S Q L S E R V E R database is normally.

Find that the database port is not occupied by the tool of Fport.exe
which is used to query the port. The port list is shown in Figure 2 2 .

Appendix

DBMAN Operations
This appendix uses the DBMAN tool in Window 2000 as an example, briefly
introduces various functions of DBMAN.
The operations of DBMAN in Unix are the same as those in Windows2000,
and are not described in this manual.

DBMAN Overview
DBMAN is a maintenance tool for ZXONM E300 database. It can simplify
the maintenance and upgrade of database server, monitor the database
status, and execute ordinary maintenance tasks.

Major Functions

Installs/uninstalls the database server.

Manages the database server: starts/shuts down the database server;


starts the command line tool of ISQL and the directory edit tool of
DSEDIT to configure the database server.

Manages the database: creates/deletes the EMS database of TransDB,


extends database log and data equipment, clears database log,
recreates database table and storage process, backs up and restores
data.

Monitors the database: queries the database version, space occupation


status of database, database status, synchronization status, and
database table status.

Launching DBMAN
Since server and client may be installed on the same computer or
separate computer, and the server may be installed with Windows or Unix
operating system, there are several different ways to launch the DBMAN
tool.

Description of Backup File

Naming rule of backup file


Each backup file corresponds to a table in the database. The file name
is in the format of table-name.dat.

Content rule of backup file


The backup file is saved in ASCII format. The first line of a file is the
table name. And each of the subsequent lines represents for one
record in the table. Fields are separated by comma.

Backup information file


Each data backup has a backup information file named dbmanbk.dat.
It saves the information of this backup, including backup date, version,
whether the backup includes the configuration data and history data.

Difference between Data Backups via DBMAN and via EMS


The data backed up via DBMAN are incompatible with the data backed
up via EMS. Do not mix them up.
Data backup using DBMAN can back up both the database
configuration and history data. It can back up all the data of EMSs
which have earlier versions than current DBMAN version. However, by
doing so, the system may prompt that some table does not exist in the
database. Skip such prompts. Data backup/restore using DBMAN is
generally applied to the EMS upgrade.
