New Features and Enhancements
In CWM 15.3.00, Patch 3, a feature was added to enable an "offline" (nonproduction) CWM to manage switches that the "online" (production) machine cannot manage because excessive traps are being received from them.
With this option, the OSS can continue receiving traps from these switches through the offline CWM. These nodes are part of the offline CWM dummy network and are not managed by the online CWM.
The following are the prerequisites for using the feature:
•
•
•
Configure the nts.conf and OfflineCWM.conf parameters as follows:
•
–
HIGH_TRAP_NODE_AUTO_SHUTOFF = 1 (enable)
Offline management is enabled automatically because you chose the option during installation. It is displayed as "CWM_OFFLINE_MGMT 1."
–
- Before starting the core, specify "OfflineCwmIP" (and make sure that it can be reached).
- By default, "TrapResilencyMgrPort is set to "3500."
- Set the port number to any unused port.
•
In /usr/users/svplus/config/nts.conf, set HIGH_TRAP_NODE_AUTO_SHUTOFF = 0 (disable).
When excessive traps are received from a switch, the online CWM marks these traps as unmanageable by deregistering with the switch and generating the newly defined CWM trap "28502." Because the online CWM stops receiving traps from the deregistered and unmanaged switch, the OSS does not receive traps for that switch.
That switch is added as a standalone node to the offline CWM, which syncs up with the switch and starts managing the node so the OSS will continue receiving traps from the switch.
As soon as the fault on the switch is fixed, the switch can be added to the online CWM using ntsControl and choosing option "ubtn." After adding the node, the online CWM starts sending trap 28502 and deletes the node from the offline CWM. The offline CWM automatically deregisters with switch.
The new trap 28502 has been added to the newly created Group 27 in the trapFilters.conf file. This trap should not be added to any other groups. The CWM forwards this trap to both RtmProxy and port 162.

Table 3 CWM and Associated Software
DocumentationCWM Server
Informix 9.4
Orbix
Java Development Kit (JDK)
CWM Server
The CWM Server software is part of the CWM package and required for installation.
As part of the JDK, CWM Java Client is deployed using Java Web Start, which is a deployment tool that uses the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) to manage Java applications from a centralized server. These applications are cached and run locally on Windows 98, NT, 2000, or XP or on a Solaris client.
Java Web Start is bundled with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), v1.4.2 and later. To start using Web Start applications, download the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for your operating system from this website:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
A minimum of JRE 1.4.2_11 is required.
CWM documentation (PDFs)
gzip
CWM Documentation
Part of the CWM package.
The gzip utility is used to decompress the gz files. The command is gzip -d.
CWM SNMP Service Agent
Service Agent
This CD must be ordered separately from the CWM Client/Server package CD set.
Although SNMP Service Agent is not required to run the CWM, it can be used to provide provisioning and fault-management capabilities to the upper layer OSS.
It is not required for an SCMSA workstation.
The SNMP Service Agent CD also contains the tar file for updating the CIC so that it can function with the CWM system.
CWM SCMSA
Standalone Statistics Collection Manager
This CD must be ordered separately from the CWM package CD set.
The SCMSA software includes the Cisco WAN Database Extraction and Synchronization Tool (WANDEST) client software (for communicating with the CWM server) and the Informix server software.
RtmProxy for the SCM application
RtmProxy for SCM Application
This application is included on a separate CD with the Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) software only when you order that software. It is meant to be installed only with the SSM and not on systems using the Service Agent. If you have already installed the Service Agent software and you attempt to install this application, you will see errors because the ~/config/process.conf file has duplicate entries for the RtmProxy.
To install the RtmProxy for SCM application from the CD, refer to the CWM installation guide.
Cisco WANDEST
WANDEST Server
WANDEST Client
This two-CD set must be ordered separately from the CWM set.
The WANDEST software enables the CWM system to communicate with the operational support system (OSS) or other telco applications. The OSS applications use WANDEST to keep their databases synchronized with the CWM (stratacom) database.
Cisco Automated Bulk Provisioning (ABP) Tool
Cisco Automated Bulk Provisioning Tool
This CD must be ordered separately from the CWM set.
The ABP tool is a time-based provisioning system that enables you to schedule connection and port provisioning jobs. It is standalone software that resides on top of the CWM.
Cisco WAN Modeling Tools
Cisco WAN Modeling Tools
This CD must be ordered separately from the CWM set.
Installing the Solaris Patches
This section shows the Solaris patches that you must install on the CWM and the patches that Cisco recommends you install. Install these patches after you install the Solaris operating system.
In the Solaris patch sections that follows, Daylight Savings Time (DST) patch data has been added.
See these subsections:
•
•
Before You Begin Installing Patches
For best results, follow these Sun recommendations before you begin installing patches:
•
•
•
•
•
DST Patches
If you are using U.S. time zones, you must install the appropriate Solaris patches for change in the Daylight Saving Time (DST), which results from DST changes in the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005.
As recommended in Sun Microsystems Alert ID 102775, countries not affected by the DST rule changes are still advised to install the latest patches for the DST rule changes. Note that countries may switch to other time zones programmatically to meet an application-specific configuration or computation need. These other time zones may include ones that are affected by the DST changes.
You can review the Sun Microsystems Alert ID 102775 and access the needed patches at this Sun website:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102775-1
These are the required DST patches for Solaris 9 DST patches for the SPARC platform:
Solaris 9 with time-zone patch 113225-03 or later and libc patch 112874-33 or laterAfter you install the time-zone and libc patches, reboot the machine, as Sun recommends.
