Conventions used in this guide


All probe guides use standard conventions for operating system-dependent
environment variables and directory paths.

Operating system-dependent variables and paths


All probe guides use standard conventions for specifying environment variables
and describing directory paths, depending on what operating systems the probe is
supported on.
For probes supported on UNIX and Linux operating systems, probe guides use the
standard UNIX conventions such as $variable for environment variables and
forward slashes (/) in directory paths. For example:
$OMNIHOME/probes
For probes supported only on Windows operating systems, probe guides use the
standard Windows conventions such as %variable% for environment variables and
backward slashes (\) in directory paths. For example:
%OMNIHOME%\probes
For probes supported on UNIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems, probe
guides use the standard UNIX conventions for specifying environment variables
and describing directory paths. When using the Windows command line with
these probes, replace the UNIX conventions used in the guide with Windows
conventions. If you are using the bash shell on a Windows system, you can use the
UNIX conventions.
Note: The names of environment variables are not always the same in Windows
and UNIX environments. For example, %TEMP% in Windows environments is
equivalent to $TMPDIR in UNIX and Linux environments. Where such variables are
described in the guide, both the UNIX and Windows conventions will be used.

Operating system-specific directory names


Where Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus files are identified as located within an arch
directory under NCHOME or OMNIHOME, arch is a variable that represents your
operating system directory. For example:
$OMNIHOME/probes/arch

IBM Tivoli Netcool\OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA)


The Huawei T2000 is a sub-network-level management system that provides
element management and network management functions for telecommunications
networks.
The Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) acquires data from the Huawei T2000
element management system (EMS) 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.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

Installing probes
All probes are installed in a similar way. The process involves downloading the
appropriate installation package for your operating system, installing the
appropriate files for the version of Netcool/OMNIbus that you are running, and
configuring the probe to suit your environment.
The installation process consists of the following steps:
1. Downloading the installation package for the probe from the Passport
Advantage Online website.
Each probe has a single installation package for each operating system
supported. For details about how to locate and download the installation
package for your operating system, visit the following page on the IBM Tivoli
Information Center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.netcool_OMNIbus.doc/probes/install/wip/out-html/reference/
install_download_intro.html
2. Installing the probe using the installation package.
The installation package contains the appropriate files for all supported
versions of Netcool/OMNIbus. For details about how to install the probe to
run with your version of Netcool/OMNIbus, visit the following page on the
IBM Tivoli Information Center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.netcool_OMNIbus.doc/probes/install/wip/out-html/reference/
install_install_intro.html
3. Configuring the probe.
This guide contains details of the essential configuration required to run this
probe. It combines topics that are common to all probes and topics that are
peculiar to this probe. For details about additional configuration that is
common to all probes, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway
Guide.

Configuring network resource names


After installing the probe, you might need to change the names of any network
resources that report alarms.
The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. The
elements are then used to assign values to ObjectServer fields.
The element $nativeEMSName contains the name of the network resource reporting
an alarm, as displayed in the EMS user interface. If brackets are passed to the
$nativeEMSName element as part of a resource name, the node field in the event list
will not be filled. Therefore, any network resource that reports alarms must be
configured so that its name does not contain brackets.

Firewall considerations
When using CORBA probes in conjunction with a firewall, the firewall must be
configured so that the probe can connect to the target system.
Most CORBA probes can act as both a server (listening for connections from the
target system) and a client (connecting to the port on the target system to which
IBM Tivoli Netcool\OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA)

the system writes events). If you are using the probe in conjunction with a firewall,
you must add the appropriate firewall rules to enable this dual behavior.
There are three possible firewall protection scenarios, for which you must
determine port numbers before adding firewall rules:
1. If the host on which the probe is running is behind a firewall, you must
determine what remote host and port number the probe will connect to.
2. If the host on which the target system is running is behind a firewall, you must
determine the incoming port on which the probe will listen and to which the
target system will connect.
3. If each host is secured with its own firewall, you must determine the following
four ports:
a. The outgoing port (or port range) for the probe.
b. The hostname and port of the target system.
c. The outgoing port on which the target system sends events if the probe is
running as a client.
d. The incoming port on which the probe listens for incoming events.
Note: Most, but not all, CORBA probes listen on the port specified by the
ORBLocalPort property. The default value for this property is 0, which means that
an available port is selected at random. If the probe is behind a firewall, the value
of the ORBLocalPort property must be specified as a fixed port number.
CORBA probes that use EventManager or NotificationManager objects may use
different hosts and ports from those that use NamingService and EntryPoint
objects. If the probe is configured to get object references from a NamingService or
EntryPoint object, you must obtain the host and port information from the system
administrator of the target system. When you have this information, you can add
the appropriate firewall rules.

Configuring firewall settings


The Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) can be used in conjunction with a firewall.
If a firewall exists between the probe and the target system, you must configure
the following firewall ports to enable data flow:
v The Naming Service port number.
The port for this service is on the target system. You must also specify this port
on the probe side of the firewall, using the ORBInitialPort property. The default
value of the ORBInitialPort property is 1570.
v The notification service port number.
The port for this service is on the target system. This port number is usually
random but can be set to a fixed value by the administrator of the target system.
No firewall configuration is required on the probe side.
v The CORBA Agent (ORB at target system or inter-ORB bridge) port number.
The port number is specified both on the target system and on the probe side of
the firewall. On the probe side, use the OrbLocaLPort property to specify this
value, which must be greater than 0. The port number on the target system can
be obtained from either the Naming Service or the Interoperable Object
Reference file (specified by the IORFile property).
When using the probe over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections, you must
configure the same ports listed above.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

SSL-based connectivity
The Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connections between the probe and the EMS server. SSL connections provide
additional security when the probe retrieves alarms from the EMS.
To enable SSL connections, you must obtain the required SSL certificates and the
Trusted Authority certificate from the EMS vendor, Huawei Technologies. The
certificates must be added to a local Java keystore so that they can be referenced
by the ClientCertificate and TrustStore properties.

Prerequisites
To create the keystore, you must have the following software installed:
v The OpenSSL toolkit.
This is available from http://www.openssl.org/.
v The IBM KeyMan utility.
This is available from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/keyman/
download.
You must also obtain the client and server certificates, client_ca.cer and
server_ca.cer, and the server key pair, server_key.pem, from Huawei
Technologies.
Note: The certificate and key pair files used here are the default files used by the
Huawei T2000 EMS. If you replace these files, you must create a keystore
containing the new files.

Creating the SSL keystore


To create a Java keystore, follow these steps:
1. Convert the server certificate to PKCS12 format using the following OpenSSL
toolkit command:
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey server_key.pem -in server_ca.cer -out
server_ca.pkcs12
2. Create the keystore using the KeyMan utility:
a. Start the KeyMan utility.
b. Click Create New and select the Keystore token option.
c. Click File > Import and choose the server_ca.pkcs12 file that you created
in step 1.
This imports the keyEntry into the keystore.
d. Click File > Import and choose the server_ca.cer certificate.
This imports the server certificate into the keystore.
e. Click File > Import and choose the client_ca.cer certificate.
This imports the client certificate into the keystore.
f. Click File > Save and enter a password and name for the keystore, for
example trusted_keystore.jks.

Enabling SSL connections


To enable SSL-based connections between the probe and the EMS server, follow
these steps:
IBM Tivoli Netcool\OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA)

1. Set the EnableSSL property to true.


When the EnableSSL property is set to true, the following properties are
enabled:
v ClientCertificate
v ClientCertificatePassword
v TrustStore
v TrustStorePassword
v EnabledProtocols
v SecurityProtocol
2. Use both the ClientCertificate property and the TrustStore property to
specify the location of the keystore file trusted_keystore.jks.
3. Use both the ClientCertificatePassword property and the TrustStorePassword
property to specify a password for the keystore.
4. Encrypt the keystore file password using the nco_g_crypt utility.

Data acquisition
Each probe uses a different method to acquire data. Which method the probe uses
depends on the target system from which it receives data.
The IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) gathers
events from the EMS using a CORBA interface.

Filtering alarms on page 7
Status checking on page 8

v Backoff strategy on page 8


v Command line interface on page 8
v Peer-to-peer failover functionality on page 9
v Running multiple probes on page 9

Event synchronization
The probe supports event synchronization between the EMS server and the
ObjectServer.
When the probe reconnects and requests a full resynchronization, the EMS does
not send any cleared alarms. The ObjectServer will still show those alarms in its
event list.
To synchronize the ObjectServer with the EMS so that the ObjectServer shows only
uncleared events, set the Resynch and EventSynchronization properties to true.
After the resynchronization is complete, the events that did not come from the
EMS through resynchronization (those that have been cleared) will be removed
from the ObjectServer.
Note: Event synchronization only works for resynchronization events. It does not
affect any new notification alarms. The ObjectServer will continue to receive all
notifications sent by the EMS, without regard to the state of the alarms.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

Before running the probe for event synchronization, change the following
properties in the EventSynch_T2000.sh file, located in the $OMNIHOME/probes/
directory:
Server="NCOMS" (Object Server Name)
User="root"
(User name of Object Server)
Password=""
(Password)

Server failover
If events are not received within a specified time period, the probe can switch
between the CORBA Naming Services of a primary EMS server and a secondary
EMS server.
The ServerSwitchingTime property specifies the amount of time the probe waits to
receive events before disconnecting from the primary EMS server and switching to
the secondary EMS server. The probe will continue to switch between the primary
and secondary server until a connection is made to one of them.
Note: To enable the server failover function, the following conditions must be met:
1. The EnableFailover property must be set to true to enable the values specified
in the following properties:
v ServerSwitchingTime
v SecondaryIORFile
v SecondaryNamingContextIORFile
v SecondaryORBInitialHost
v SecondaryORBInitialPort
2. The Retry property must be set to true.
If the Retry property is set to false, the probe will not be in continuous
reconnect mode and will not failover to the secondary EMS server.
3. The value of the ServerSwitchingTime property must not exceed 4096 seconds.
This is the default value of the backoff strategy time that, if exceeded, will
cause the probe to disconnect from the CORBA interface.

Retrieving alarms
The probe initially receives a list of all active alarms from the AlarmIRP server. The
probe then connects to the NotificationIRP server and uses the CORBA notification
push model to receive new alarms from the server as they are generated.

Filtering alarms
You can limit the types of alarms the probe retrieves using the filtering properties.
The filtering properties allow you to exclude resynchronization alarms according to
their severity. They cannot be used to filter new notification alarms.
For example, to exclude alarms of severity Indeterminate, set the
ExcludeSeverityIndeterminate property to true.
Note: By default, the probe retrieves resynchronization alarms of all severities.
The Filtering properties table shows the filtering properties that are available.

Status checking
The probe checks that the EMS server is running by sending a ping command
every 60 seconds. You can change this frequency using the AgentHeartbeat
property.

Backoff strategy
If the Retry property is set to true, and the probe fails to establish a connection or
loses an existing connection to the device, it reverts to a backoff strategy. The probe
tries to reestablish a connection after one second, two seconds, then four seconds,
and so on, up to a maximum of 4096 seconds. Once the connection is made to the
CORBA interface, the probe tries to log in to the device. If the probe fails to log in,
it shuts down and tries to connect again. The backoff strategy remains in place
until a successful login occurs.

Command line interface


The Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA) is supplied with a Command Line Interface
(CLI) that allows you to execute commands using the probe.
To use the CLI, you must use the CommandPort property in the properties file to
specify a port through which commands will be sent. The default port is 6970.
When you want to run commands, use Telnet to connect through this port.
The following table describes the commands that you can use with the CLI.
Table 5. CLI commands
Command

Description

exit/quit

Use this command to close the connection.

help

Use this command to display online help about


the CLI.

resynch_alarm

Use this command to perform a full or partial


resynchronization of the alarms. A full or partial
resynchronization will depend on the value of the
ExcludeSeverity properties (Cleared, Critical,
Indeterminate, Major, Minor, Warning) specified in
the properties file.

version

Use this command to display the version of the


probe and the CLI.

Note: As the CLI is based on Telnet connections, you can connect to the probe
from anywhere by creating a desktop tool to open a Telnet connection, send a

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Huawei T2000 (CORBA): Reference Guide

command, and then close the connection. This means that simple scripts can be set
up to allow users to acknowledge selected events from the IBM Tivoli
Netcool/OMNIbus event list.

Peer-to-peer failover functionality


The probe supports failover configurations where two probes run simultaneously.
One probe acts as the master probe, sending events to the ObjectServer; the other
acts as the slave probe on standby. If the master probe fails, the slave probe
activates.
While the slave probe receives heartbeats from the master probe, it does not
forward events to the ObjectServer. If the master shuts down, the slave probe stops
receiving heartbeats from the master and any events it receives thereafter are
forwarded to the ObjectServer on behalf of the master probe. When the master is
running again, the slave continues to receive events, but no longer sends them to
the ObjectServer.

Example property file settings for peer-to-peer failover


You set the peer-to-peer failover mode in the properties files of the master and
slave probes. The settings differ for a master probe and slave probe.
The following example shows the peer-to-peer settings from the properties file of a
master probe:
Server

"slave"

Running multiple probes


You can run multiple instances of the probe.
For each running instance, specify a different port to which the server listens using
the ORBLocalPort property.

Running multiple probes in a failover configuration


If you have implemented a peer-to-peer failover configuration, both the master
probe and the slave probe have their own Object Request Broker (ORB) local port.
Where you are running this configuration in conjunction with a firewall, add the
receiving port of each probe to the firewall rules. The direction of the connection is
from the target system to the master or slave probe.
You set the peer-to-peer failover mode in the properties files of the master and
slave probes.
