Probe for Nortel CNM

Nortel CNM (CDMA Network manager) is a networking and service management system

that provides a real-time view of the service provisioning, order managment, fault and

performance management for an enterprise customer’s network. This system supports

multiple wireless network technologies, and customer management interfaces for the

creation, delivery, and playback of multimedia over GSM and CDMA2000 wireless

networks.

The Probe for Nortel CNM collects alarms from Nortel CNM system using a 3GPP2 CORBA

(Common Object Request Broker Architecture) interface for CDMA2000 networks.

Basic configuration

This section describes the basic configuration requirements for the Probe for Nortel CNM.

Installation requirements

Before running the probe, you must install the JDK 1.5 runtime libraries and the following

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus patches in the following order:

1. probe-compatibility-3.x

2. probe-nonnative-base

3. probe-nonnative-java

4. nco_p_commandport-0

5. probe-visibroker-support

Note: These patches (except the VisiBroker patch) are available from the IBM Support

Site. To obtain the VisiBroker patch, you must contact IBM Support.

Updating the rules file

The Probe for Nortel CNM is supplied with a lookup table (Corba_3gpp2_

R6C1.lookup). This file is installed in the following location:

$OMNIHOME/probes/includes/

This file is referenced in the rules file by the following command:

include "/opt/netcool/probes/includes/Corba_3gpp2_R6C1.lookup"

If the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus installation directory is different from /opt/netcool/,

you must update the rules file include statement accordingly.

Note: $OMNIHOME cannot be used in the paths to the lookup files; you must enter the full

path to the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus installation directory.

Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Nortel CNM Reference Guide4

Data acquisition

The Probe for Nortel CNM gathers events from the Nortel CNM 3GPP servers using a

Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interface. CORBA is an Object

Management Group specification that provides a standard interface definition between

objects in a distributed environment; that is, it allows applications to communicate with one

another regardless of where they are located or who has designed them.

Connecting to the CORBA interface

The Probe for Nortel CNM acts as an Integration Reference Point (IRP) Manager. The

AlarmIRPOperation and NotificationIRPOperation points form a part of the IRP agent to

which the probe connects through a CORBA interface.

The probe uses the Using Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) files for this connection:

Using IOR files

To connect to the CORBA interface, the probe uses the SecurityIRPAgent Interoperable

Object Reference (IOR) file. If the IOR file is on a remote machine, specify the FTP command

that the probe must use to access it using the SecurityIrpFtpCommand property. If the

IOR file is on a local machine, specify its location using the NortelSecurityIrpFile

property.

Connecting to a remote system

The probe uses secure mode to connect to the remote machine where the IOR file is

available.

To access the IOR file on the remote machine, perform the following steps:

1. Set up the required OpenSSL environment in both the probe server and target system.

2. Create your own PKI key. Remember the password that you specify while creating the

PKI key.

3. Change the access permissions of the PKI key for the SSH to access.

4. Edit the download_ior.sh script so that the IOR_FILE_NAME script variable points

to the same value as the NortelSecurityIrpFile property.

5. Replace the <remote machine name>:<remote path to nortel ior file>

text in the download_ior.sh script with the location and name of the remote

machine.

6. Replace the <password> text in the add-passwd script with the password you

specified while creating the PKI key.

7. Run the probe.
