Managing Inventory
This chapter describes how to manage inventory using CTM. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Overview
•Domain NE Table
•Equipment Inventory Table
11.1 Overview
Managing inventory involves maintaining a record of all of the network element (NE) resources installed in the network to support the provisioning of services. It should include collecting information about locations, quantities of equipment, model numbers, serial numbers, versions, installation dates, and so on.
Inventory management is one of the fundamental network management functions. When forecasting service growth or even attempting to provision a new service, it is necessary to know the current network inventory. Can the existing inventory support the forecast growth or new service requests, or must additional equipment be ordered and installed onsite? Can your hardware support a new software release? You will need to check the type and revision of hardware to determine the answer. Has a recall been issued by the vendor for a certain hardware revision of a board? Are you affected? You will need to check the inventory again.
CTM allows you to add NEs, and it autodiscovers the details about the NE itself and the contained physical inventory. CTM remains automatically synchronized with changes relating to inventory that might occur in the network. All inventory information is stored in the CTM database and is available at any time.
Inventory management includes the discovery of the NEs from the EMS, and ongoing synchronization with the NEs. It also includes the ability to provide the inventory to a higher-level NMS through a northbound interface.
CTM can quickly capture, display, and store an inventory of the NEs on your network. It allows you to view information about the NEs, installed software, and software licenses. CTM also lets you edit the inventory information for the NEs in your network.
For passive NEs, you can add inventory information manually. You can also add inventory information for unmanaged NEs or for NEs from other vendors.
CTM allows you to export inventory reports to a flat text file with a user-specified delimiter character. This file can be imported easily into a spreadsheet application for further analysis.
Note Japanese characters are supported for inventory reports. When generating a report from the Domain NE table, choose File > HTML Report for a report that includes Japanese characters.
CTM provides two levels of inventory reports:
•A complete list of all the NEs that belong to a specific group or to the entire domain. See Domain NE Table.
•A detailed list of cards and modules installed on the NEs. See Equipment Inventory Table.
11.2 Domain NE Table
The Domain NE table displays an inventory of all the NEs in the selected CTM domain, group, or subnetwork. Based on your selection criteria, the Domain NE table tells you which NEs are in or out of service, available or unavailable, and so on. The following figure shows an example of the Domain NE table.
Figure 11-1 Domain NE Table
Note See Appendix A, "Icons and Menus Displayed in CTM" for details of all the icons displayed in the window.

Description
|
NE ID
|
ID number of the NE.
|
NE Model
|
Model of the selected NE.
|
NE Type
|
Type of NE. Values are:
•Terminal—Represents the default setting, where it is not possible to identify if the NE type is east or west terminal for a long haul (LH) system.
•Terminal East—Contains one transmit east-to-west section (transmit transponders, multiplexers, transmit power amplifiers) and one receive west-to-east section (amplifiers, demultiplexer, splitters, receive transponders) for an LH system.
•Terminal West—Contains one transmit west-to-east section (transmit transponders, multiplexers, transmit power amplifiers) and one receive east-to-west section (amplifiers, demultiplexer, splitters, receive transponders) for an LH system.
•Optical Line Amplifier—Amplifies signals in two stages through optical amplifiers for an LH system.
•Optical ADM—Exchanges high-volume traffic between terminal and intermediate sites for an LH system.
•Line Extender Module—Retimes, reshapes, and retransmits the optical signal between optical line amplification (OLA) sites for an LH system.
•ELH Terminal—Represents the default setting, where it is not possible to identify whether the NE type is east or west terminal for an Extended Long Haul (ELH) system.
•ELH East Terminal—Contains one transmit east-to-west section (wavelength converters, multiplexers, and transmit power amplifiers) and one receive west-to-east section (line preamplifier, demultiplexer, and optional receive transponders) for an ELH system.
•ELH West Terminal—Contains one transmit west-to-east section (wavelength converters, multiplexers, and transmit power amplifiers) and one receive east-to-west section (line preamplifier, demultiplexer, and optional receive transponders) for an ELH system.

|
Active IP Address
|
Primary or secondary IP address, depending on which address is currently used to reach the selected NE.
|
Primary IP Address
|
Primary IP address.
|
Secondary IP Address
|
Backup IP address that the CTM server uses to reach the selected NE.
When the primary and secondary IP addresses are the same, the secondary IP address is not supported. For ONS 1580x NEs, the secondary IP address points to a backup address that is remapped to the ONS 1580x primary address. This backup address allows CTM to reach the ONS 1580x node through a different route by using Layer 3 routing instead of the less-secure Layer 2 routing.
If you change the primary IP address when the ONS 1580x is in service or under maintenance, the actual node IP address changes. CTM resets the NE automatically to activate the new IP address. After resetting the active IP address, the primary IP address and secondary IP address have the same value. If you want to reset the secondary IP address, you should first reset the NAT address on the router to map the NAT address to the new CMP address.
|
Communication State
|
Current connectivity state between CTM and the selected NE. Values are Available or Unavailable.
|
Operational State
|
Current operational state of the system. Values are In Service, Under Maintenance, or Out of Service.

|
Alarm Log Size
|
Size of the alarm log.
|
Alarm Log Status
|
Current status of the alarm log.
|
PM Collection State
|
Whether performance monitoring collection is enabled or disabled. You can configure the PM collection state in the Domain Explorer > Network Element Properties pane > Status tab.

11.3.2 Exporting Equipment Inventory Table Data
You can schedule the export of Equipment Inventory table data to a flat file.
The Export Equipment Inventory Table dialog box allows you to export the data as comma-separated values (CSVs) or tab-separated values (TSVs), which are formats commonly used to import data into spreadsheet and database applications for further analysis and manipulation. You can also select a user-specified character as a separator.
Tip If you export data to Microsoft Excel, save the exported file with ".csv" as the filename extension.
To open the Export dialog box, open the Equipment Inventory table for the NE(s); then, click the Export Data to File tool (or choose File > Export). The following table provides descriptions. After making your selections, click OK to export the data.

Other
|
If selected, the data is exported with the separator that you specify in the Other text field.
Note If you specify a character as a separator and your data contains the same character, the character in the data is automatically enclosed in double quotes. This allows the spreadsheet or database application to understand that the character is part of your data. Regardless of whether you select Comma separated, Tab separated, or Other, CTM automatically encloses text in double quotes if it has a separator.
