Chapter 1 Installation Preparation

1.1 Overview
The network management system NView NNM V5.0 is the upgrade version of NView NNM V4.0. It
is developed by Raisecom Technology Co., Ltd. NView NNM V5.0 system not only provides all
functions NNM V4.0 can provide, but adopts lots of features and advantages from NView iEMS
system and NView OneTouch system, which greatly enhance the functionality and usability of the
system.

Using the installation program for NView NNM V5.0 system, users can either deploy NView NNM
V5.0 system completely or upgrade existing NView NNM V4.2 system to V5.0 system and reserve
all V4.2 system data. The installation program for NView NNM V5.0 system adopts a guidance
manner. Users only need to select an installation mode, and follow the guidance to complete the
installation step by step. The installation process is easy to handle.

Chapter 2 of this manual introduces the installation and deployment of NView NNM V5.0 system; it
is for users who use NView NNM system for the first time. Chapter 3 of this manual describes the
process of upgrade existing NView NNM V4.2 system to V5.0 version. Users of NView NNM V4.0
system can drop Chapter 2 and refer to Chapter 3 directly for upgrade.

1.2 Operating environment


1.2.1 Hardware environment requirement
To completely deploy NView NNM V5.0 system, different installation manner requires different
hardware environment.

Installation Manner CPU Core Frequency Memory Hard Disc Space

Install Client P4 2GHz 512M 500M

Install NView NNM P4 2.8GHz 1G 10G


V5.0 Version

1.2.2 Software environment requirement


NView NNM system has complete inbuilt operating system itself; the only requirement that must be
satisfied is the requirement on OS system. At present, NView NNM system can run on the following
OS systems:

¾ Windows 2000 series


¾ Windows 2003 series
¾ Windows XP series

1.3 System environment confirmation


Before installing NView NNM system, please check whether the following requirements are
1
www.raisecom.com User Manual

satisfied:

¾ Before conducting a complete installation of NNM system, please make sure that no other
network management system exists on the target host. If there is any other network
management system on the host, please uninstall it first. If the existing network management
is NView NNM V4.2 system, please choose to upgrade it to V5.0 during the installation. For
details, please refer to Chapter 3.
¾ Please make sure that the “SNMP Trap Receiving Service” of Windows OS system services
on the target host has been stopped.

0 Warning: The presence of other SNMP network management systems on the target host
where NNM Server will reside is strictly forbidden in system deployment process. This may
lead to system failure due to reasons such as resource occupation. A most typical instance is the
failure of receiving trap information correctly caused by port 162 occupation.

1.4 Deployment scheme selection


At present, two deployment schemes are adopted: standalone deployment scheme and distributed
deployment scheme.

¾ Standalone deployment scheme: The standalone deployment scheme installs client, server,
and database on one PC. This scheme is suitable for concentrated management and
maintenance based on management center.
¾ Distributed deployment scheme: The distributed deployment scheme installs the complete
system on a host adopting the typical deployment scheme, installs client on other hosts, and
connects all clients on to one host. This scheme meets the requirement of remote, multi-client
management.
The two deployment schemes can be realized by different options in the installation process. Users
can choose either of the two according to need.

L Note: If the system is deployed distributedly, to upgrade the system (including installing
service packs, EMS and application components), users have to install the upgrade program on
the host where the server resides and install corresponding upgrade program on the hosts
where the clients resides.

1.5 Installation steps


To completely install NView NNM system, please follow the steps listed below:

¾ Firstly, install the NView NNM network management system.


¾ Install the latest Service Pack of NView NNM system according to need.
¾ Install corresponding EMS according to network management requirement.

¾ If the current NNM system is operating, please quit the system (both the client and the server)
first, and make sure that the database service is running.
¾ If any personal network security software (e.g. Norton Internet Security) exists on the target
host, please stop it before the installation of the EMS and restart it when the installation
completes.

5.2 Installation steps


In this section, we take the installation of RC002 EMS as an example to demonstrate the installation
process of EMS. The installation of other EMS is similar.

Chapter 7 FAQ

7.1 How to stop the SNMP Trap receiving service of Windows


The SNMP TRAP SERVICE of the system can be stopped via service management tools on the
control panel of Windows. The steps are:

¾ Open the “Services” window by double-clicking the <Services> icon in <Management


Tools> on the <Control Panel>.

Figure 7-1 Windows services list

¾ Find “SNMP Trap Service” and double-click it, the property dialog box for SNMP Trap
Service will turn up.

Figure 7-2 Service property

7.2 Alarms from network element devices can not reach the system.
To ensure that an alarm can be received and displayed by the system correctly, the following
conditions must be satisfied.

¾ Please make sure that all network devices under management and the management
workstation where the NNM system resides must be correctly connected to the network. And
the links between them are unblocked (devices can Ping each other and communication via
UDP protocol is allowed).
¾ The Port 162 of the host where the NNM system server resides must not be occupied by other
processes. For example, for Win2000 Server OS system, the SNMP Trap Service witch
occupies Port 162 is enabled by default. Before installing NNM system on this OS system,
the SNMP Trap Service must be stopped to release Port 162, otherwise, the NNM system will
not be able to receive alarm information. Please note that only the host where the server of
NNM system resides must satisfy this condition. For clients installed following distributed
installation scheme, they do not have to satisfy this condition.
¾ Communication via UDP protocol must be allowed on the network. In some specified
application environment, out of security consideration, all network devices are behind a
firewall. In this circumstance, please make sure that Trap is able to pass through the firewall
to reach the management work station. Otherwise, the system will not be able to receive
alarm information.
¾ The agent of the network devices must set the target of the trap to be the IP address of the
host on which the server of the NNM system resides.
¾ The NNM system should have the definition of the alarm type. Otherwise, even if the
information of the alarm is received, the system will regard it as an unknown alarm.
¾ Check whether the NNM system has set up any filter rules concerning the alarm type. If the
alarm is filtered by the system, the system will not display the alarm and even not handle it at
all.
¾ The host from which the alarm comes from should on the device list of the system. Otherwise,
the alarm information will be dropped by the system as alarm information from unknown
source.
¾ The host from which the alarm comes from should be a node in the management domain of
the current user. Otherwise, the alarm information will not be displayed (This will not affect
the receiving of the alarm information. But the information will not be displayed on the client
the administrator logged on.). There is no this restriction for users for “admin” user group.
