APS consists of proprietary software running on a UNIX platform, under HP OpenView, along with the Motif graphical user interface (GUI). The UNIX platform is currently provided by a SUN Microsystems workstation. Required compatible software is HP OpenView Windows Version 3.31 and HP OpenView Network Node Manager Version 3.31.
* Optional high speed interface is recommended for enhanced operation of APS.
If APS is to be installed co-resident with StrataView Plus, then StrataView Plus must be installed first. Refer to the StrataView Plus Installation Guide for StrataView Plus workstation requirements, then add the following additional requirements to support APS:
* Optional high speed interface is recommended for enhanced operation of APS.
The APS Network Management Workstation requires the following software elements:
You may add new nodes to HPOV submaps by creating a new object in HP OpenView or you can allow autodiscovery add them. APS places new symbols in the HP OpenView symbol palette for this purpose. The new symbols are the FastPADmp Network symbol, (used as a "container" for submaps containing other FastPADmp Network or FastPAD node symbols) and FastPAD node symbols. These symbols can be added to any HP OpenView submap.
Alarms from FastPADmp nodes are shown by setting the status of the corresponding HP OpenView symbol appropriately. Symbol status propagates from FastPADmp node symbols to parent symbols representing the submap as configured in HP OpenView by the administrator. Alarms also appear as events in the HP OpenView event logger.
The FastPADmp subnet is monitored by polling the FastPADmp nodes. The polling mode and interval are configurable on a per-node basis. Each time a node is polled, the corresponding HP OpenView object is updated with any changed information.
To upload and download node configurations, the File Transfer module is accessible from a menu in the HP OpenView menu hierarchy.
StrataView Plus and APS symbols can be connected using the standard HPOV method for adding connections (these connections are not managed by either StrataView Plus or APS, however). HP OpenView's default status propagation rules mean that the status of a submap containing StrataView Plus and APS symbols is propagated to the parent map.
APS Release 12.2 provides the following network management capabilities:
UNIX commands, filenames, directories, or other information that appears on the workstation screen is displayed in the courier typeface.
This symbol is used to indicate an instruction, or something that you must enter. Items that you must enter are shown in bold typeface.
The product family is referred to as "FastPADmp" throughout this document, and includes the FastPADmp, FastPADlmp, and FastPADmpr products.
The following additional manuals are also recommended to be used as applicable:
