System Requirements
In addition to the CWM platform requirements listed in the Cisco WAN Manager Installation Guide, Release 15, also consider the following:
•CWM 15 is compatible with UltraSPARC II and UltraSPARC III. Refer to Tables 1 through 4 for the system requirements for certified platforms. The Ultra 60, Enterprise 450 and Enterprise 4500 can still be used with CWM 15. These were previously certified with earlier releases of CWM. For certified system requirements, refer to the System Requirement Guidelines in the CWM release notes for Release 11.0.10, but the minimum RAM needs to be 2 GB. Problems reported by customers who choose a non certified configuration may take more time to troubleshoot, resulting in a longer turnaround time. CWM technical support will not be provided for Sun configurations or products that are no longer supported by Sun Microsystems.
•Video is required when using the Java Client access to CWM. Video on the CWM server is only required for user access or maintenance on the CWM server. Video can be added to Sun servers/workstations. For Ultra and Enterprise this requires a video adapter.
•You may upgrade the standard configuration with more CPU speed, RAM size, and disk space for future expansion.
•The default disk size for the Informix raw database is 1.7 GB. However, we strongly recommend you provide 2 GB disk space for the statistics collection process. Note that if statistics collection is done using CWM then multiple 2 GB partition chunks are required to be added to Informix. Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Installation, Release 15, OL-4550-01 for more information on disk partitioning.
•While CWM is running, if the remote display is stopped without properly shutting down the CWM Desktop, then reopening it remotely may not succeed.

•File size of 2M bytes (typically holds statistics with peak enabled for 20K endpoints).
•The number of files does not increase with smaller file size.
•Average Network Transfer Rate is the required TFTP/FTP throughput to collect of the Max # of files (combination of Server performance and network bandwidth/traffic).
•If you have enabled the Parser on the CWM Server, add the Parser System Requirement to the requirements listed in Table 1.
•The Standalone Statistics Collector (SSC) has the same system requirements as the Standalone Statistics Manager. If you have enabled the Parser, add the Parser System Requirement to the system requirements listed in Table 3.
•A maximum of twelve Standalone Statistics Collectors can be controlled by one Standalone Statistics Manager.

Five statistics are collected from each connection segment endpoints and 15-minute file collection interval.
Add the applicable system requirements in Table 4 to the CWM Server requirements in Table 1 if the Parser Function is enabled.
Collecting statistics for four million endpoints with 5 statistics per endpoint requires 80 GB of disk space per 24 hour period. You will need at least 3 x 36 GB of disk space.

New Features and Enhancements in CWM Release 15
Features Introduced in CWM Release 15.0.00, Patch 5
•Additional queue related details will be logged in snmpd.log. For example, warning messages will appear when 75% or 90% of thread usage is surpassed. Also if usage drops from 75% or 90% to below 75% or 90%, respectively, then a message will be logged.
•Ability to suppress traps using ntsControl.
Sometimes certain network problems may send out a blast of traps from a set of nodes which may flood CWM causing other nodes not to function properly. It may be useful to suppress these traps from the troubled node and allow proper management of the rest of the network. You can then enable the traps at a later point once the situation is corrected on the troubled nodes.
ntsControl is a client program for NTS which gives certain control APIs for NTS. This would be used to suppress some traps from NTS from flowing to other CWM modules (the traps will still be sent out to HPOV and RTMProxy). To use ntsControl:
pit - Print the list of traps being ignored with NODE ID.
it - Ignore a trap for a certain node.
dt - Stop Ignoring a trap for a certain node.
1 2 5 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15
17 19 20 2122 23 24 26 27 28 33 34
36 38 39
Enter CWMNodeID for node to suppress traps: 11
Enter the trap number to ignore: 60101
Ignore trap 60101 for 11...Ok
In the above example, NTS will stop forwarding trap number 60101 from nodeid 11 to all CWM modules, except RTMProxy and HPOV. The trap can still be seen in these two modules.
To re-enable the trap so that it is forwarded to other CWM components use the "dt" command for ntsControl.
•ShelfIntegrated alarms for MGX nodes in the controller card will show in the Chassis View if the flag CHASSIS_SHOW_ORIGINAL_ALARMS is included in the /usr/users/svplus/CMSCClient.conf file.
Features Introduced in CWM Release 15.0.00, Patch 4
This section describes the new features introduced in Cisco WAN Manager Release 15.0.00, patch 4.
•Support for assigning user profiles permission to change the node name.
Node Rename feature allows users with appropriate authority level to change the node name. If the user has the permission to change the node name and the newly selected node name is already in use, then an error message is displayed and the operation is not allowed. The Node Rename permission is independent of the 'modify' permissions and it applies only to the Configuration Center.
Installation, Security Manager and ConfigurationCenter have been modified as follows:
Installation changes:
–Node name provisioning option is given to the adminprofile only.
–New input panel to enable Node Name Provisioning. Profiles are updated with appropriate values that the user designates.
–Node Name Authority default parameters for adminProf profile is `selected and userProf1 profile is `unselected'.
Security Manager application enhancements:
–Security Manager profiles are extended with an additional Node Name Authority parameter for Configuration Center.
–All profiles (both existing and new) will have the Node Name Authority parameter.
–Node Name Authority parameter is independent of all other profile attributes including the modify attribute.
–Node Name Authority default parameters for adminProf profile is `selected and userProf1 profile is `unselected'.
When Node Name Authority is 'selected', the profile allows any user bound to it to use Configuration Center to edit the node name.
When Node Name Authority is 'unselected, the profile does not allow any user bound to it to use Configuration Center to edit the node name. The node name in Configuration Center will be disabled (grayed out) and will be a read only attribute.
For any newly created profiles, the Node Name Authority parameter default setting will be set to 'unselected'. However, the Admin user will be able to change the settings.
–Any user bound to the new profile will be able to edit the node name based on the current 'Node Name Authority' parameter setting in the new profile.
Configuration Center enhancements:
–Node Name Authority parameter is independent of the 'modify' permission and it applies only to Configuration Center.
–Configuration Center will use the Node Name Authority parameter setting to enable or disable the editing capabilities of the Node Name UI field in Configuration Center. If the user has permission to edit the node name then the node name UI field is enabled. Otherwise, it is disabled (grayed-out).
–If the user has the permission to change the node name and the newly selected node name is already in use, then an error message is displayed and the operation is not allowed.
•Support for 53-byte conversion factor.
Configuration Center allows users to enable the cps to Kpbs conversion (default is cps). For the ATM connections, the conversion factor has been extended to support both the 48 byte as well as 53 byte cells.
Configuration center will use either the 48 byte or the 53 byte conversion based upon the selected conversion-factor in the CMSCClient.conf file.
–If the USE_53_BYTE_CONVERSION_FACTOR is set to 'false', a conversion factor of 384 (48 bytes; 48 * 8) is used (1 cps = 384 bps).
–If the USE_53_BYTE_CONVERSION_FACTOR is set to 'true', a conversion factor of 424 (53 bytes; 53 * 8) is used (1 cps = 424 bps).
Note For existing connections created using a 48 byte conversion factor; if the user changes the conversion factor to 53 byte conversion, a different kbps value other than the original value (which used the 48 factor) will be shown to the user since the connection was originally provisioned with a 48 byte conversion factor.
Note The 53 byte conversion applies only to the new connections and the modifications of existing connections.
Features Introduced in CWM Release 15.0.00, Patch 3
This section describes the new features introduced in Cisco WAN Manager Release 15.0.00, patch 3.
•MGX 8850 and MGX 8830 Release 5 (PXM45-based nodes and PXM1E-based nodes)
–CWM 15.0.00 Patch 3 adds support for the MPSM-T3E3-155 MultiLink Frame Relay (MLFR) feature on switches running Release 5.0.20 software.
•MGX 8880, MGX 8850, and MGX 8830 Release 5 nodes (both PXM1E-based and PXM45-based nodes)
–CWM 15.0.00 Patch 3 adds support for collecting bulk statistics from the VISM-PR running Release 3.3 of the VISM software. None of the other new 3.3 features are supported
•MGX 8850, 8250, and 8230 Release 1.3.10 (PXM1-based nodes)
–MGX 8850, 8250, and 8230 (PXM1-based nodes) running Release 1.3.10 will recognize both the VISM and VISM-PR running Release 3.3 of the VISM software, but the new 3.3 features are not supported on PXM1-based nodes.
•Support for VXSM Release 5.0.20
–CWM 15.0.00 Patch 3 adds support for VXSM Release 5.0.20 on PXM45-based switches running Release 5.0.20 software.
Features Introduced in CWM Release 15.0.00, Patch 2
This section describes the new features introduced in Cisco WAN Manager Release 15.0.00, patch 2.
•MGX 8950 Release 5 (PXM45-based nodes)
–AXSM-XG 16-port OC-3 service module can link to MGX PXM1-based switches as a feeder
CWM 15.0.00 Patch 2 can discover the configuration where MGX PXM1-based switches are used as a feeder to the AXSM-XG 16-port OC-3 service modules on the MGX 8950 shelf. Connections can be set up between the termination points on these feeders and other connection endpoints on the MGX 8950 or on another feeder shelf.
–Support for redesigned RPM-XF back cards
With the release of CWM Release 15.0.00, patch 2, the new RPM-XF back cards that are designed to work with the MGX 8880 are now supported.
–Support for the preferred routes feature on RPM-XF
With the release of CWM Release 15.0.00, patch 2, configuration of preferred routes for the RPM-XF for XPVC connections is now supported.
The pref_route_id and direct_route_flag fields have been added to the rpm_connection table. The pref_route_id field indicates the associated preferred route for the particular connection.
The direct_route_flag field indicates whether or not the connection is directed. If this flag is set to true, then the associated SPVC will be routed only to the preferred route. If the preferred route is not available, the connection is not routed on any alternative route and then is flagged as failed. If the direct_route_flag parameter is set to false then the associated SPVC will also be routed to the preferred route, but if the preferred route is not available, alternative routes will be considered as per PNNI routing policies.
Service agent support is provided by adding RPM-XF support to the cwmConnPrefRouteId (for PNNI XPVC segments only) and cwmConnDirectRoute objects in the cwmConnTable in CWM Release 15.0.00, patch 2.
