The 6400 SCM Element Manager add custom windows to the standard Cisco EMF system in order to allow the management of the Cisco 6400 UAC. For example, the Cisco 6400 Chassis Management window has four tabbed sections: Faults, Status, Configuration, and Inventory. Each tab displays specific information about the current state of the system or allows you to change various 6400 UAC settings without the need to use IOS commands.
Multiple Element Managers can be installed onto a single Cisco EMF Server, thereby allowing multi-device and multi-vendor management from a single system.
Table 4-1 displays the Element Manager windows that can be launched from each node/object type. For example, to Manage the 6400 Chassis you should select the Cisco 6400 UAC, Manage, Chassis option from a Manager, Site, Chassis or NSP object.

An important component of efficient network management is the ability to receive performance information on a large network of many devices. This performance information can assist you to pro-actively manage your network elements.
Performance Manager is a powerful, flexible tool able to view general and performance specific attributes in one application and in a variety of formats (for example, graphs and tables). You define the attributes or parameters, choose the objects you want to view, select the date and time of the view, and set the summary interval.
Performance Manager can be accessed from map objects, events listed in the Event Browser and objects listed in any containment tree that represent an object type included in the relevant data file. Performance Manager can be accessed from NSP, NRP, NRP port or line card port objects by right-clicking on an object.
Step 1 Open the appropriate window to display a relevant element.
Step 2 Place the cursor over the element.
Step 3 Press and hold the right mouse button. A menu appears.
Step 4 Drag the cursor until the AV Tools, Open Performance Manager option is highlighted.
Step 5 Release the right mouse button. The Performance Manager window appears.
From the Performance Manager window you can:
To view performance statistics: select the attributes' performance statistics to be displayed; the time period that the performance statistics were gathered; and the format you want to use to display the results. Refer to the following steps for details.
Step 1 Open Performance Manager. Refer to the "Viewing the Performance Manager Window" section for further details.
Step 2 Select the attribute you want to monitor from the Monitored Attributes list.
Step 3 Enter the date to start viewing the performance statistics from in the Start Date data entry box. Use the mm/dd/yyyy format.
Step 4 To set the End Date you have two options:
In the End Date data entry boxes, enter the date the view of the performance statistics has to stop at. The format must be <mm>/<dd>/<yyyy>
or
select the Now check box to view the data from the selected start date to the current time. By selecting this option, you do not have to update the End Date and End Time fields.
Step 5 Enter the time that the view of the performance statistics has to start on the Start Date in the Start Time data entry boxes.
Step 6 Enter the time that the view of the performance statistics has to stop on the Stop Date in the Stop Time data entry boxes.
Step 7 Select the summary period you want to use in the Sampling list.
Step 8 Click Refresh. The Refresh button is blue when it is available for selection. It is greyed out when not available. The Refresh button is available for selection when Now is selected, or when any criteria has changed and you have moved the cursor away from the changed value by pressing the Tab key or by using the mouse.
The performance information appears as a line chart by default. You can view performance information as either a line chart, a bar chart, or a table display.
The performance information corresponds to the attributes' value returned during the raw sampling period. When a summary period other than raw is selected, the information appears according to the summary rule.
You can zoom in, zoom out and move around the displayed charts using the key presses detailed in Table 4-2. You must first select the chart before using the key presses detailed in Table 4-2.
Press | Action |
|---|---|
Right arrow key | Moves the chart one unit to the right |
Left arrow key | Moves the chart one unit to the left |
Up arrow key | Moves the chart to the bottom |
Down arrow key | Moves the chart to the top |
Shift and Z key | Zooms in on the chart's x axis |
Shift and U key | Zooms out on the chart's x axis |
Z key | Zooms in on the chart's y axis |
U key | Zooms out on the chart's y axis |
Shift and F key | Fits all information on the x axis in window |
F key | Fits all information on the y axis in window |
You can print performance statistics from the Performance Manager, either as a chart or as a table. A chart prints out the information which can be seen in the window. A Table prints out all of the performance statistics in a plain text format.
The output is printed by the default printer set up on your network.
Step 1 Open the Performance Manager and select the desired performance statistics.
Step 2 From the File menu, select Print. Choose either As Chart or As Table.
No performance data is saved automatically. If you want to save data, you must select Export to File to save the current data to a file.
Step 1 Open the Performance Manager and view the performance statistics you want to save.
Step 2 From the File menu, select Export to File
or
click the Save As icon from the Toolbar.
Step 3 The File Chooser window is displayed. The left hand panel displays the directories and the right hand panel displays the files. Use the scroll bars to locate the desired file. Click Filter to expand the list of options.
Step 4 Select the file. The full path name of the selected file is displayed in the File Filter box, as well as the Choice box.
Step 5 Click Apply to save the file or Cancel to return to the Performance Manager window.
Collected data is archived each day to <AVROOT>/logs by default. The applied file name is generated automatically using the format mm-dd-yyyy.log. When entries are archived, they are purged from the database. By default, only raw data is archived.
