Self management



Managed Component, MC
Concept of Managed Components

The Managed Component, MC, is a Managed Object, i.e. an entity that is manageable.
The MC is a set of one or more processes.
One process can not exist in several MCs.
The MCs is the smallest logical entity a system administrator has to manage.
Self Management Service
The following services are covered by self-management:

Start/Stop/Restart Start, Stop and Restart MCs
Product Inventory To see what is installed in the O&M system.
System Logging Logging of normal system events in the O&M system.
Error Handling Logging of abnormal system events in the O&M system.
Alarms Generate alarms from errors.
SW Trace Start, stop and collect debugging printouts in O&M applications.
Self Test Perform self-tests on MCs.
Instrumentation Get run time values, e.g. queue length.
Configuration Handling of configuration parameters.

Self Management CLI
If and when it is impossible to start a graphical user interface you can also control most self management features from a
command line interface:

#/opt/ericsson/nms_cif_sm/bin/smtool
( Nowdays smtool is in $PATH )

Using this tool you can for example:

View status of MCs
Start/Stop/Restart MCs
Display/Set configuration parameters
Start/Stop CIF Trace for MC[s]

You might also want to take a look at a similar unofficial tool:
#/opt/ericsson/sck/tmp/ssr.sh
Self Management CLI
smtool command examples:

smtool list Lists status off all MCs
smtool list | grep v started Lists not started MCs
smtool offline sdm
smtool online sdm
smtool warmrestart eam_handlerMtp Re-reads MC / process configurations
smtool coldrestart FM_DistributionServer Same as offline + online
smtool trace ARNEServer 1-199 arne_trace.log smtool trace <MC> <trace type> <file>
smtool trace stop
smtool cancel Cancels ongoing start/stop of MCs

What is SMIA ?
SMIA Statistical Initiation and Administration Tool

SMIA is an tool which facilitates Initiation and
Administration of statistical measurements towards Network
Elements built on the AXE platform

Command Description
Daily Tasks
# uptime Check the Servers uptime on daily basis to verify that whether it has been rebooted without the administrators knowledge.
# iostat -E Verify that all the physical disks or disk arrays are having any Soft Error, Hard Errors or Transport Errors.
# /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag v Verify that all the system components, like CPU, Amount of Cache, Cooling FAN, Power Supplies etc., are working properly.
# vmstat
By means of the UNIX command `vmstat' it is possible to identify if a performance problem is caused by a shortage of memory or CPU
power.
# prstat
Use the following command to monitor which application/process is using the CPU resource most. It is a real time CPU monitoring sun
command.
# tail 1000 /var/adm/messages | more
Logically read the system generated administrative message which gives the information for the successes and failures occurred during
operation. Very useful for troubleshooting.
# df k To determine the amount of disk space available and used on the file system.
# du k
Check the amount of disk space in number of 1 Kbytes blocks used by the current directory and subdirectories if you have space
problem for file systems.
# vxprint Check the Status of the Disks Under Veritas Control, all disks must show Okay status.
# vxdisk list Check the status of mirroring.
# vxprint p
# vxprint ht
# /opt/ericsson/nms_cif_sm/bin/smtool list
Check that all processes are running in CIF Management Console. Open the CIF Management console and observe that all the
processes are online.If offline, make them as online.
# /opt/versant/ODBMS/bin/dblist Check the status of the versant databases whether it is active or not.
# more /var/opt/ericsson/sdm/log/SDM_GRAN_dispatcher.log Read SDM error reports messages for statistics data missing & other messages.
# cd /var/opt/sybase/sybase/log Check the Sybase error log
# /ericsson/syb/util/db_check.sh Check database space.
# isql Usa w2000 Psybase11
1> sp_helpdb
2> go

Check None of the Databases should be Offline.
# df kh /ossrc/sybdev/sybmaster
# df kh /ossrc/sybdev/pm/pmsybdata

# df kh /ossrc/sybdev/fm/fmsybdata
# df kh /ossrc/sybdev/oss/sybdata

Check Remaining disk space on sybase filesystem.
# cd /var/opt/ericsson/sgw/outputfiles/apg40files/sts Observe the latest time stamp of the files coming from APG40.
# isql Usa w2000 Psybase11
1> use bsddb
2> go
1> select max(TIME), NE from CELL_ADM where RES=1 group by NE
2> go

Verify that the STS data coming from the nodes are getting loaded properly in the database/Sybase for each of the active nodes
