U2000 again but commission it directly. Specifically, you can use the U2000 normally only
after changing system and U2000 parameters to meet site requirements. To allow the U2000
to manage your network, you must commission the U2000 before using the U2000 to manage
NEs and configure services.
2.8 Configuring the Cold Standby Solution
The U2000 cold standby solution supports manual and automatic backup and restore. If
manual backup and restore is used, you need to manually start the backup or restoration task
each time. If automatic backup and restore is used, you only need to configure a scheduled
backup task and a scheduled restoration task. Automatic backup and restore is recommended.
In automatic backup and restore mode, you need to configure a scheduled backup task on the
primary site and a scheduled restoration task on the secondary site to implement fast
restoration with cold backup data. For specific operations of manual backup and restore, see
the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator
Guide.

2.1 Solution Description


This topic briefly describes the cold standby solution with factory installation information.
In the cold standby solution with factory installation information, the U2000 has been
installed on the primary and secondary servers before delivery. In this manner, you do not
need to install the U2000 again but commission it directly. Specifically, you can use the
U2000 normally only after changing system and U2000 parameters to meet site requirements.
The following describes the background, usage restrictions, and implementation process of
the U2000 cold standby solution in detail.

Context
If only one single server U2000 is deployed at a site, network management functions will
become unavailable if the U2000 fails. To implement fast restoration when the U2000 single-
server system fails, Huawei launches the cold standby solution.
In the cold standby solution, two single server U2000 systems with the same version,
deployment domain, language, OS type, server time, and time zone are deployed. One system
is run on the primary site and the other is run on the secondary site.
l In normal conditions, the primary site provides the network management functions. The
network management process and maintenance tool on the secondary site are stopped
while the database is running. The primary site backs up the network management data
periodically, and the secondary site obtains the backup file from the primary site at
regular intervals.
l If the U2000 on the primary site fails, the U2000 on the secondary site starts
immediately to provide network management functions.

Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation 2 Installing and Commissioning the U2000 (Factory
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) Installation of the Cold Standby Solution)

NOTE

l The backup object is the entire database, including the custom data at the U2000 side (excluding the
custom options of the system), network layer trail data, NE-side configuration data, alarm data and
performance data. In addition, a backup is created for the structure of the entire database, all
database tables (including the system tables and the user tables), table structure, and stored
procedures. The personal information (including personal name, phone numbers and addresses) on
the U2000 and all user names and passwords are also backed up. Therefore, you are obligated to
take considerable measures, in compliance with the laws of the countries concerned and the user
privacy policies of your company, to ensure that the personal data of users is fully protected.
l The following data is not backed up when you back up the U2000 database:
l The data that is not saved at the NE side, that is, the data that cannot be uploaded.
l The custom options of the system. For example, font, color setting, and audio setting.
l The function of the fast restoration scheme for the cold standby system and the scheduled tasks on
the U2000 MSuite or U2000 overlaps. You are recommended to execute those tasks at different
time.

Restriction
l Before starting the secondary site, ensure that the license of the U2000 has been loaded
on the secondary site.
NOTE

Please refer 3.3.3 Applying for a U2000 License to generate both the primary and secondary sites
ESNs and send the contract number and the server ESNs to Huawei engineers or the local Huawei
office to apply for a U2000 license.
The U2000 license is loaded at both sites.
l If the database at the primary site has been expanded, the database at the secondary site
must be expanded to the same size; otherwise, restoration may fail.
l If cold standby is performed for the first time in an upgrade scenario, back up data at the
primary site and restore data at the secondary site using the MSuite before configuring a
cold standby task. This prevents a restoration failure due to inconsistent database sizes.
l Automatic backup and restoration scenario:
The OSs of the primary and secondary sites must be the same. That is, if the OS of the
primary site is SUSE Linux, the OS of the secondary site is also SUSE Linux.

Process Introduction to Fast Restoration Scheme for the U2000 Cold Standby
System
The U2000 cold standby solution supports manual and automatic backup and restore. If
manual backup and restore is used, you need to manually start the backup or restoration task
each time. If automatic backup and restore is used, you only need to configure a scheduled
backup and a scheduled restoration task. Automatic backup and restore is recommended.
l Automatic backup and restoration scheme: To automatically back up and restore data,
you need to configure scheduled backup tasks on the primary site and automatic
restoration tasks on the secondary site. The process is as follows:
a. On the secondary site, install a single server U2000 whose version, deployment
domain, language and database username are the same as those on the primary site.
b. Configure scheduled backup tasks on the primary site. The backup files are
generated through backup modules and stored on the primary site.
c. Configure scheduled restoration tasks on the secondary site. Obtain the backup files
through SFTP from the primary site and restore the files on the secondary site.

d. When the primary site malfunctions, start the U2000 on the secondary site to fast
restore the U2000.

Figure 2-1 Automatic backup and restoration scheme

l Manual backup and restoration scheme: The manual backup and restoration scheme
requires a cold standby tool to back up and restore data. The process is as follows:
a. On the secondary site, install a single server U2000 whose version, deployment
domain, language and database username are the same as those on the primary site.
b. Use a cold standby tool to back up the U2000 data on the primary site as backup
files and store the files on the primary site.
c. Copy the backup files from the primary site to the secondary site, and use the cold
standby tool to restore the files on the secondary site.
d. Start the U2000 on the secondary site.

l The IP address is in the format of IP address/subnet mask/gateway.
l Planning Principles for IP Addresses are:
– The IP addresses must be unique on the network.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with the managed equipment in the
normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with the OSS in the normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with U2000 clients in the normal
state.
NOTE
Log in to the server OS as user root, run the command ping -S NMS_application_IP
Destination_IP to ensure that NMS application IP address can be normally communicated.
l Single-NIC Scheme
Only one network interface is required and bond cannot be configured.
– Advantage: NIC resources are saved.
– Disadvantage: NIC protection is unavailable.
Table 2-3 shows a planning example.

l Double-NIC Scheme
Two network interfaces are required for configuring bond.
– Advantage: NIC protection is available. If one NIC is faulty, data processing is
switched to the other NIC.
– Disadvantage: One more NIC is used than the single-NIC scheme.
NOTE

Bond: On the SUSE Linux OS, the bond technology is used to form a virtual layer between the
physical layer and the data link layer. This technology allows two server NICs connecting to a
switch to be bound to one IP address. The MAC addresses of the two NICs are also automatically
bound as one MAC address. In this manner, a virtual NIC is formed. The bond technology
supports two modes: double-live and primary/secondary. In double-live mode, after receiving
request data from a remote server, the virtual NIC on the server determines data transmission
based on an algorithm, improving network throughput and usability of the server. In primary/
secondary mode, if an NIC does not function properly, services will be automatically switched to
the other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS supports the binding of NICs in
primary/secondary mode.
Table 2-4 shows a planning example.

2.3.3 Applying for a U2000 License


The U2000 license file is used to control the functions and management capabilities of the
U2000. If the license file is unavailable, you cannot log in to the U2000 client, but can log in
to the System Monitor client and the MSuite.

Context
l The license file is not delivered to customers along with a U2000 installation DVD.
Contact Huawei engineers for the application of a server license according to the
contract number and ESNs of the server.
l To prevent the failure in finding the license file for possible U2000 reinstallation, save
the license application email and the license file properly.
l Before using the U2000, apply for the formal U2000 license in advance because the
U2000 license application goes through a long process.
l An ESN is a string consisting of 40-digit numerals or letters obtained by encrypted
calculation on the MAC addresses of the U2000 server network interface. The number of
ESNs is the same as the number of network interfaces on the U2000 server. To avoid
applying for a new license due to replacing certain network interface cards (NICs), save
all the ESNs to ensure proper use of the U2000 license.
– Generally, the ESN for a server does not change. It can be used for the U2000
license that is normally applied for.
– If the ESN for a U2000 license is changed due to NIC or server replacement or ESN
application error, apply for a U2000 license again and contact Huawei technical
support engineers.
l In the cold standby solution, the primary and secondary sites share the same U2000
license. The U2000 license is bound to the ESNs of the primary and secondary sites at
the same time. When applying for a license, you need to obtain the ESNs of the primary
and secondary sites separately.

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the project contract number.

Step 2 View ESNs of the server.


Method 1(Recommended): Use the ESN tool to generate ESNs before installing a U2000.
NOTE

Make the following preparations:


l Huawei engineers can go to http://support.huawei.com/carrier or http://support.huawei.com/
enterprise to download the ESN tool delivered with the version.
l The ESN tool name is U2000version_ESN_sles_x64.tar.
version indicates the detailed version number of the U2000.
l Copy the ESN tool package to the computer.
1. Use SFTP to upload the ESN tool to the U2000 server as the root user. For example,
upload the ESN tool to the /opt path. For details, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to
Transfer Files by SFTP.
2. Run the following commands to decompress the ESN tool package:
# cd /opt
# tar xvf U2000version_ESN_sles_x64.tar

details, see A.5.20 How to Query Information About the Software and Hardware
Installation and ESNs of a Huawei Rack Server.

Step 3 After the esn command is executed, the Esn.txt file is automatically generated in the current
path. Send the contract number and the server ESNs to Huawei engineers or the local Huawei
office.
NOTE

Huawei engineers access http://w3.huawei.com/sdp/ to obtain the license based on the contract number
and ESNs.

Step 4 Huawei engineers send the license file to you after obtaining it.
NOTE

The license file provided with the U2000 exists as a .dat file.

2.3.4 Applying for the SSR License


This topic describes how to apply for a formal SSR license. The SSR license used in NMS
installation is a demo license. After the server is delivered to the installation site, the demo
license must be replaced with a formal SSR license in time.

Prerequisites
l GTS rights for ESDP login are available.
l The license confirmation form or contact number has been obtained.
NOTE

The license confirmation form is delivered in paper format along with the DVD. The license
confirmation form functions as the license file and should be kept properly on site.

2.6.1 Configuring the iMana/iBMC IP Address of Huawei server


The iMana/iBMC is integrated with the Huawei RH series rack server. RH5885H V3 and
RH2288H V2 servers use iMana whereas RH2288H V3 servers use iBMC. It is used to
remotely manage the server. IP address of the iMana/iBMC can be used to remotely log in to
a PC server to manage and maintain PC server in Web mode. For example, you can use this IP
address for remote OS installation, or use it to maintain the PC server if the OS fails to start
properly. Two modes of configuring the iMana/iBMC IP address are available: through
iMana/iBMC management interface and through BIOS.

If a server is not equipped with the KVM, the mode through iMana/iBMC management
interface is recommended.

l Through iMana/iBMC management interface:


– Advantage: The Huawei RH series rack server does not need to be equipped with a
monitor, mouse, or keyboard. Fewer operations are required, compared with the
mode of using BIOS.
– Disadvantage: The Internet Explorer may shut down automatically or not respond.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows:
i. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar to close the Internet
Explorer. If the Internet Explorer is still open, stop the iexplore.exe process on
the Processes tab page in the Task Manager.
ii. Open the Internet Explorer.
l Through BIOS:
– Advantage: No abnormality will occur if operations are performed correctly.
– Disadvantage: The Huawei RH series rack server must be equipped with a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard. More operations are required, compared with the mode of
using the iMana/iBMC management interface.
NOTE

2.7.2 Configuring System Commissioning Parameters


After the U2000 is installed initially, you must use the commissioning tool to adjust system
parameters, such as the IP address and host name. You do not need to modify parameters that
do not require adjustment.

Prerequisites

NOTICE
l Manually changing the system IP address causes a failure to use the commissioning tool.
Therefore, configure the system IP address through the commissioning tool.
l All network information will be cleared when you adjust the networking by using the Set
Network commissioning item of the Commissioning Tool. If southbound and northbound
IP addresses are configured independently on the customer's network, reconfigure them
after the networking is adjusted.

l A laptop computer or PC is available.

Step 5 The encoding format of the U2000 license file must be UNIX, not DOS. For details about
how to confirm the encoding format of the U2000 license file, see A.5.11 How to Confirm
the Encoding Format of the U2000 License File.

Step 6 Do as follows to load the U2000 license:


NOTE

To make both the U2000 commercial and temporary licenses take effect, use the GUI mode.

Method one: Use commands to load the license.

1. Use SFTP to upload the license file to the /export/home/ossuser directory on the server
as the ossuser user. For details, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to Transfer Files
by SFTP.
NOTE

If the license file uploaded by the root user is used, the ossuser user may not have the read
permission and therefore the license fails to be updated. Use the license uploaded by the ossuser
user. If security hardening is performed on the OS, FTP/SFTP rights of ossuser will be disabled.
In this case, you need to upload files to the backup directory in the FTP root directory as the
ftpuser user (the FTP root directory of ftpuser is /opt/backup/ftpboot).
2. To activate the license file, run the following commands:
a. Log in to the OS of the server as the ossuser user.
b. Run the following commands to update the U2000 license file:
$ cd /export/home/ossuser
$ updateLicense -file License_file_name.dat

l The installation is not complete if any of the preceding checks are not passed. For
details, see A.6.8 How to Address the U2000 Installation or Uninstallation Failure.

2.8 Configuring the Cold Standby Solution


The U2000 cold standby solution supports manual and automatic backup and restore. If
manual backup and restore is used, you need to manually start the backup or restoration task
each time. If automatic backup and restore is used, you only need to configure a scheduled
backup task and a scheduled restoration task. Automatic backup and restore is recommended.
In automatic backup and restore mode, you need to configure a scheduled backup task on the
primary site and a scheduled restoration task on the secondary site to implement fast
restoration with cold backup data. For specific operations of manual backup and restore, see
the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator
Guide.

2.8.1 Configuring Automatic Backup Tasks on the Primary Site


This topic describes how to create a scheduled backup task on the primary site. After a
scheduled backup task is created, the data of the primary site can be automatically backed up.

Prerequisites
l A single server U2000 system whose version, deployment domain, language, OS type,
server time, and time zone are the same as those on the primary site is installed on the
secondary site.
l The U2000 processes and the database are running on the primary site.
l Network communication between the primary site and the secondary site is normal, and
the minimum bandwidth is 10 Mbit/s.
l The SFTP Server service has been activated on the primary site, and related ports
(including the SFTP service port 22) have been enabled.
NOTE

For details on enabling the SFTP Server service on a SUSE Linux operating system, see A.1.2
How to Start/Stop the FTP/SFTP/Telnet Service in the SUSE Linux OS.
l If a firewall is deployed between the primary site and the secondary site, the SFTP
service port (by default, port 22) on the firewall must be enabled. For details on enabling
the SFTP service port on a firewall, see the firewall user guide.
l Only one scheduled backup or restoration task is allowed on a single server. For
example, if you create a new automatic backup task on the primary site, the old backup
task on the primary site will become invalid and only the new one will be retained.

Context
In upgrade, reconstruction, and data migration scenarios, you may need to back up or restore
U2000 data manually. For details, see the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration
Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator Guide.

2.8.2 Configuring Automatic Restoration on the Secondary Site


This topic describes how to create a scheduled restoration task on the secondary site. After the
scheduled restoration task is created, the U2000 data can be automatically restored on the
secondary site.

Prerequisites
l A single server U2000 system whose version, deployment domain, language, OS type,
server time, and time zone are the same as those on the primary site is installed on the
secondary site. For details about the installation procedure, see the U2000 Single-Server
System Software Installation and Commissioning Guide.
l On the secondary site, network management process and the maintenance tool are
standby and the database is running. If the U2000 has started when the restoration task is
performed, the U2000 process is automatically stopped.
l Network communication between the primary site and the secondary site is normal, and
the minimum bandwidth is 10 Mbit/s.
l The primary site is running correctly. (If the primary site becomes faulty before
automatic restoration starts, data cannot be restored on the secondary site.)
l Only one scheduled backup or restoration task is allowed on a single server. For
example, if you create a new automatic backup task on the primary site, the old backup
task on the primary site will become invalid and only the new one will be retained.

Context
In upgrade, reconstruction, and data migration scenarios, you may need to back up or restore
U2000 data manually. For details, see the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration
Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator Guide.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the configuration script on the secondary site.
NOTE
If execution of the configuration script fails, apply troubleshooting as prompted or contact Huawei
technical support engineers.

1. Log in to the OS as the ossuser user through SSH by using PuTTY.


2. Run the following command to switch to the root user and run the userconfig.sh script.
$ su - root
Password: Password of the root user
# cd /opt/oss/engr/tools/coldbackuptool
# ./userconfig.sh

Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation 3 Installing and Commissioning the U2000 (Factory
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) Installation of the Single-Server System)

IP Address Description

NMS application IP This IP address is used for external NMS services such as
address communication between the NMS server and clients or between the
NMS server and NEs.

l The iMana IP address and system IP address can be located either on the same network
segment or on different network segments.
l The IP address is in the format of IP address/subnet mask/gateway.
l Planning Principles for IP Addresses are:
– The IP addresses must be unique on the network.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with the managed equipment in the
normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with the OSS in the normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicates with U2000 clients in the normal
state.
NOTE
Log in to the server OS as user root, run the command ping -S NMS_application_IP
Destination_IP to ensure that NMS application IP address can be normally communicated.
l Single-NIC Scheme
Only one network interface is required and bond cannot be configured.
– Advantage: NIC resources are saved.
– Disadvantage: NIC protection is unavailable.
Table 3-3 shows a planning example.

Two network interfaces are required for configuring bond.
– Advantage: NIC protection is available. If one NIC is faulty, data processing is
switched to the other NIC.

– Disadvantage: One more NIC is used than the single-NIC scheme.


NOTE

Bond: On the SUSE Linux OS, the bond technology is used to form a virtual layer between the
physical layer and the data link layer. This technology allows two server NICs connecting to a
switch to be bound to one IP address. The MAC addresses of the two NICs are also automatically
bound as one MAC address. In this manner, a virtual NIC is formed. The bond technology
supports two modes: double-live and primary/secondary. In double-live mode, after receiving
request data from a remote server, the virtual NIC on the server determines data transmission
based on an algorithm, improving network throughput and usability of the server. In primary/
secondary mode, if an NIC does not function properly, services will be automatically switched to
the other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS supports the binding of NICs in
primary/secondary mode.
Table 3-4 shows a planning example.

Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation 3 Installing and Commissioning the U2000 (Factory
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) Installation of the Single-Server System)

3.3.3 Applying for a U2000 License


The U2000 license file is used to control the functions and management capabilities of the
U2000. If the license file is unavailable, you cannot log in to the U2000 client, but can log in
to the System Monitor client and the MSuite.

Context
l The license file is not delivered to customers along with a U2000 installation DVD.
Contact Huawei engineers for the application of a server license according to the
contract number and ESNs of the server.
l To prevent the failure in finding the license file for possible U2000 reinstallation, save
the license application email and the license file properly.
l Before using the U2000, apply for the formal U2000 license in advance because the
U2000 license application goes through a long process.
l An ESN is a string consisting of 40-digit numerals or letters obtained by encrypted
calculation on the MAC addresses of the U2000 server network interface. The number of
ESNs is the same as the number of network interfaces on the U2000 server. To avoid
applying for a new license due to replacing certain network interface cards (NICs), save
all the ESNs to ensure proper use of the U2000 license.
– Generally, the ESN for a server does not change. It can be used for the U2000
license that is normally applied for.
– If the ESN for a U2000 license is changed due to NIC or server replacement or ESN
application error, apply for a U2000 license again and contact Huawei technical
support engineers.

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the project contract number.
Step 2 View ESNs of the server.
Method 1(Recommended): Use the ESN tool to generate ESNs before installing a U2000.
NOTE

Make the following preparations:


l Huawei engineers can go to http://support.huawei.com/carrier or http://support.huawei.com/

3.6.1 Configuring the iMana/iBMC IP Address of Huawei server


The iMana/iBMC is integrated with the Huawei RH series rack server. RH5885H V3 and
RH2288H V2 servers use iMana whereas RH2288H V3 servers use iBMC. It is used to
remotely manage the server. IP address of the iMana/iBMC can be used to remotely log in to
a PC server to manage and maintain PC server in Web mode. For example, you can use this IP
address for remote OS installation, or use it to maintain the PC server if the OS fails to start
properly. Two modes of configuring the iMana/iBMC IP address are available: through
iMana/iBMC management interface and through BIOS.

If a server is not equipped with the KVM, the mode through iMana/iBMC management
interface is recommended.

l Through iMana/iBMC management interface:


– Advantage: The Huawei RH series rack server does not need to be equipped with a
monitor, mouse, or keyboard. Fewer operations are required, compared with the
mode of using BIOS.
– Disadvantage: The Internet Explorer may shut down automatically or not respond.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows:
i. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar to close the Internet
Explorer. If the Internet Explorer is still open, stop the iexplore.exe process on
the Processes tab page in the Task Manager.
ii. Open the Internet Explorer.
l Through BIOS:
– Advantage: No abnormality will occur if operations are performed correctly.
– Disadvantage: The Huawei RH series rack server must be equipped with a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard. More operations are required, compared with the mode of
using the iMana/iBMC management interface.

10.9.1.11.

Procedure
Step 1 Connect the computer and controller A of the disk array physically.
Use a serial port cable (DB9-RJ45) to connect the serial port of the local controller to the
serial port of the disk array ( ).
Use an RJ45 connector at one end of the serial port cable to connect to the serial port of the
disk array ( ) and a DB-9 connector at the other end of the cable to connect to the serial
port of the computer.

Step 2 Log in to a disk array controller.


1. Start the PC and log in to the Windows OS.
2. Run the PuTTY tool. In the dialog box that is displayed, choose Serial from the
navigation tree.
3. In the right-hand pane, set parameters as follows for an interface, such as COM1:
– Serial line to connect to: COM1
– Speed(baud): 115200
– Data bits: 8
– Stop bits: 1
– Parity: None
– Flow Control: None
4. Choose Session from the navigation tree. In the right-hand pane, set Connection type to

If the connection succeeds, the following information will be displayed:
Storage login:

6. Enter the user name and password.


NOTE

– The default administrator name is admin and the initial password of the admin user is
Admin@storage. If the U2000 is preinstalled before being delivered, the password has been
changed to Changeme_123. After the initial login, change the default password immediately. To
ensure the security of the U2000, passwords must be complex enough. For example, a password
must contain eight or more characters of two types. The allowed characters are digits, letters, and
special characters. Remember to change passwords regularly.
– After an admin user enters an incorrect password for three consecutive times, the admin user will
be locked and therefore cannot be used to log in to the disk array controller. The admin account
will be automatically unlocked after 15 minutes.
– Run the following command to change the password for the current user.
admin:/>change user_password
Old password:old password
New password:new password
Reenter password:new password
Command executed successfully.

If the login succeeds, the following information will be displayed:

been installed on the server before delivery. In this manner, you do not need to install the
U2000 again but commission it directly. Specifically, you can use the U2000 normally only
after changing system and U2000 parameters to meet site requirements. To allow the U2000
to manage your network, you must commission the U2000 before using the U2000 to manage
NEs and configure services.

NOTE
This topic applies only to the U2000 server in the single-server solution with factory installation
information.

3.7.1 Obtaining Commissioning Parameters


Planning commissioning parameters is a prerequisite to U2000 commissioning. For details

3.7.2 Configuring System Commissioning Parameters


After the U2000 is installed initially, you must use the commissioning tool to adjust system
parameters, such as the IP address and host name. You do not need to modify parameters that
do not require adjustment.

Prerequisites

NOTICE
l Manually changing the system IP address causes a failure to use the commissioning tool.
Therefore, configure the system IP address through the commissioning tool.
l All network information will be cleared when you adjust the networking by using the Set
Network commissioning item of the Commissioning Tool. If southbound and northbound
IP addresses are configured independently on the customer's network, reconfigure them
after the networking is adjusted.

l A laptop computer or PC is available.

l A network cable is available.


l The remote command login software, such as PuTTY, has been obtained.
l Commissioning parameters have been planned and a commissioning parameter table is
obtained. For details, see 3.7.1 Obtaining Commissioning Parameters.
l The server has been powered on.

Context
The commissioning tool is used only after the initial installation of the U2000 is complete. Do
not use the commissioning tool after the U2000 has running for a period of time. If system
parameters need to be commissioned, see section MSuite in the U2000 Administrator Guide.

Procedure
Step 1 Select the network interface identified as 1 on the server back plane and use a network cable
to connect the network interface to the PC or laptop.
NOTE
During preinstallation, the system IP is configured for network interfaces marked as 1 by default.

Step 2 Modify the IP address and subnet mask of the PC or laptop to be on the same network
segment where the system IP address of the U2000 server is located.
NOTE

The preinstallation by default configures the system IP address as 192.168.128.110 and the subnet mask
as255.255.255.0.

Step 3 On the PC or laptop, use the remote GUI login software, such as VNC, to log in to the SUSE
Linux OS GUI as the ossuser user. For details, see Configure the VNC service as the
ossuser user.
NOTE

The default password of the ossuser user is Changeme_123. The default password is not changed
during preinstallation.

Step 4 Right-click the blank area of the desktop and choose Open in Terminal from the shortcut

4.9 Installing the U2000 Software
This topic describes how to start the U2000 installation.
4.10 Commissioning the U2000
This topic describes how to commission the U2000. To allow the U2000 to manage your
network, you must commission the U2000 before using the U2000 to manage NEs and
configure services.
4.11 Configuring the Cold Standby Solution (Cold Standby Solution)
The U2000 cold standby solution supports manual and automatic backup and restore. If
manual backup and restore is used, you need to manually start the backup or restoration task
each time. If automatic backup and restore is used, you only need to configure a scheduled
backup task and a scheduled restoration task. Automatic backup and restore is recommended.
In automatic backup and restore mode, you need to configure a scheduled backup task on the
primary site and a scheduled restoration task on the secondary site to implement fast
restoration with cold backup data. For specific operations of manual backup and restore, see
the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator
Guide. This topic applies only to the cold standby solution. If the cold standby solution is not
required, skip this topic.

4.1 Solution Description


This topic briefly describes the fresh installation scenario.
In the fresh installation scenario, no pre-installation is performed on servers delivered by
Huawei. Instead, you need to install and commission the U2000 on site.
l For a single-server system, you only need to install and commission one set of U2000.
l For the cold standby solution, you need to install and commission two sets of U2000,
one is for the primary site and the other is for the secondary site. The U2000 version,
deployment domain, language, OS type, server time zone, and time must be the same on
the primary and secondary sites.
For details about the background, usage restrictions, and implementation process of the
cold standby solution, see 2.1 Solution Description in Factory Installation of the Cold
Standby Solution.

IP address of the For Huawei RH series rack server, IP address of the iMana can be
iMana on the PC used to remotely log in to a PC server to manage and maintain PC
server server in Web mode. For example, you can use this IP address for
remote OS installation, or use it to maintain the PC server if the OS
fails to start properly.

IP address for the This IP address is used to remotely manage and maintain disk
disk array controller arrays.

System IP address This IP address is the IP address of the OS. You can use it to log in
to the server to manage and maintain the OS.

NMS application IP This IP address is used for external NMS services such as
address communication between the NMS server and clients or between the
NMS server and NEs.

l The IMM/iMana IP address and system IP address can be located either on the same
network segment or on different network segments.
l The IP address is in the format of IP address/subnet mask/gateway.
l Planning Principles for IP Addresses are:
– The IP addresses must be unique on the network.
– The NMS application IP address communicate with the managed equipment in the
normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicate with the OSS in the normal state.
– The NMS application IP address communicate with U2000 clients in the normal
state.
NOTE
Log in to the server OS as user root, run the command ping -S NMS_application_IP
Destination_IP to ensure that NMS application IP address can be normal communicated.
l Single-NIC Scheme
Only one network interface is required and bond cannot be configured.
– Advantage: NIC resources are saved.
– Disadvantage: NIC protection is unavailable.

l Double-NIC Scheme
Two network interfaces are required for configuring bond.
– Advantage: NIC protection is available. If one NIC is faulty, data processing is
switched to the other NIC.
– Disadvantage: One more NIC is used than the single-NIC scheme.
NOTE

Bond: On the SUSE Linux OS, the bond technology is used to form a virtual layer between the
physical layer and the data link layer. This technology allows two server NICs connecting to a
switch to be bound to one IP address. The MAC addresses of the two NICs are also automatically
bound as one MAC address. In this manner, a virtual NIC is formed. The bond technology
supports two modes: double-live and primary/secondary. In double-live mode, after receiving
request data from a remote server, the virtual NIC on the server determines data transmission
based on an algorithm, improving network throughput and usability of the server. In primary/
secondary mode, if an NIC does not function properly, services will be automatically switched to
the other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS supports the binding of NICs in
primary/secondary mode.

– The NMS application IP address communicates with U2000 clients in the normal
state.
NOTE
Log in to the server OS as user root, run the command ping -S NMS_application_IP
Destination_IP to ensure that NMS application IP address can be normally communicated.
l Single-NIC Scheme
Only one network interface is required and bond cannot be configured.
– Advantage: NIC resources are saved.
– Disadvantage: NIC protection is unavailable.

l Double-NIC Scheme
Two network interfaces are required for configuring bond.
– Advantage: NIC protection is available. If one NIC is faulty, data processing is
switched to the other NIC.
– Disadvantage: One more NIC is used than the single-NIC scheme.
NOTE

Bond: On the SUSE Linux OS, the bond technology is used to form a virtual layer between the
physical layer and the data link layer. This technology allows two server NICs connecting to a
switch to be bound to one IP address. The MAC addresses of the two NICs are also automatically
bound as one MAC address. In this manner, a virtual NIC is formed. The bond technology
supports two modes: double-live and primary/secondary. In double-live mode, after receiving
request data from a remote server, the virtual NIC on the server determines data transmission
based on an algorithm, improving network throughput and usability of the server. In primary/
secondary mode, if an NIC does not function properly, services will be automatically switched to
the other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS supports the binding of NICs in
primary/secondary mode.

4.3.2 Checking Required Software


This topic describes how to verify that the software meets U2000 installation requirements.

If the cold standby solution is used, ensure that the U2000 version, deployment domain,
language, OS type, server time zone, and time are the same on the primary and secondary
sites.

U2000 Installation Methods


The U2000 can be installed by using software packages or DVDs, as follows:
l Using software packages: Required software packages must be on-hand. Only Huawei
engineers have the permissions to download software packages. If the installation using
software packages is required, contact Huawei engineers to obtain software packages.
l Using DVDs: Required DVDs must be on-hand.

Using Software Packages


Perform the following operations:
NOTE

If the Read Me_U2000 Version(English) file exists, read the Read Me_U2000 Version(English) file
before downloading the software packages. The Read Me_U2000 Version(English) file is stored in the
same path as software packages.

1. Contact a Huawei engineer to download the software packages.


– For carrier, Log in to http://support.huawei.com/carrier. Search for U2000 and
select iManager U2000 in the search box on the Software tab. Select the
corresponding version of U2000 to download the U2000 install software package,
for example, iManager U2000 version. Select the corresponding version of U2000
to download the server install software package (such as the OS, OS preconfigured

Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation 4 Installing and Commissioning the U2000 (Fresh
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) Installation)

2. Download required software packages listed in Table 4-15. It is recommended that you
use the download tool (for example, NetAnts). If you use Windows Internet Explorer,
some software packages may be renamed automatically after being downloaded to the
local computer. In this case, you must manually change the software package names to
the same as those on the website.
NOTE
The PGP verification file of the software file in the .asc format must be obtained by clicking the
in the Operation column at the same time. For example, the software package is
U2000version_server_nmsbase_sles_x64.7z, the corresponding PGP verification file is
U2000version_server_nmsbase_sles_x64.7z.asc.
3. Use the PGPverify to verify correctness of the software packages. For details, see A.1.24
How Do I Verify Downloaded Software Packages Using the PGPVerify Software.
4. http://support.huawei.com can store files with a maximum size of 8 GB. The file with
the size larger than 8 GB will be separated into different software packages. The file
name extension is zip.001 for the first package, zip.002 for the second, zip.003 for the
third, and so on.
– Download all the required packages. Read the Read Me_U2000 Version(English)
file before downloading the software package. The Read Me file contains key
instructions and restrictions on downloaded files.
– Before selecting the zip.001 file to decompress, obtain the 7-zip tool with the latest
version from Web site http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip and install the
tool.
For more information about software operation, see the software Help or go to the
official website of the software http://www.7-zip.org/support.html for technical
support.

NOTE

l In an installation DVD or installation package, version indicates the detailed version number of the
U2000.
l The commonly used recording software is Nero. Nero 8 is used as an example here. To ensure that
the contents of the burnt DVD are the same as those in the ISO file, select the Verify data on disc
after burning check box. For details, see How to Burn the ISO File to DVD.

Context
l The license file is not delivered to customers along with a U2000 installation DVD.
Contact Huawei engineers for the application of a server license according to the
contract number and ESNs of the server.
l To prevent the failure in finding the license file for possible U2000 reinstallation, save
the license application email and the license file properly.
l Before using the U2000, apply for the formal U2000 license in advance because the
U2000 license application goes through a long process.
l An ESN is a string consisting of 40-digit numerals or letters obtained by encrypted
calculation on the MAC addresses of the U2000 server network interface. The number of
ESNs is the same as the number of network interfaces on the U2000 server. To avoid
applying for a new license due to replacing certain network interface cards (NICs), save
all the ESNs to ensure proper use of the U2000 license.
– Generally, the ESN for a server does not change. It can be used for the U2000
license that is normally applied for.
– If the ESN for a U2000 license is changed due to NIC or server replacement or ESN
application error, apply for a U2000 license again and contact Huawei technical
support engineers.
l In the cold standby solution, the primary and secondary sites share the same U2000
license. The U2000 license is bound to the ESNs of the primary and secondary sites at
the same time. When applying for a license, you need to obtain the ESNs of the primary
and secondary sites separately.

Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the project contract number.

Step 2 View ESNs of the server.


Method 1(Recommended): Use the ESN tool to generate ESNs before installing a U2000.
NOTE

Make the following preparations:


l Huawei engineers can go to http://support.huawei.com/carrier or http://support.huawei.com/
enterprise to download the ESN tool delivered with the version.
l The ESN tool name is U2000version_ESN_sles_x64.tar.
version indicates the detailed version number of the U2000.
l Copy the ESN tool package to the computer.
1. Use SFTP to upload the ESN tool to the U2000 server as the root user. For example,
upload the ESN tool to the /opt path. For details, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to
Transfer Files by SFTP.
2. Run the following commands to decompress the ESN tool package:
# cd /opt
# tar xvf U2000version_ESN_sles_x64.tar

4.6 Configuring Controller IP Addresses


Controller IP addresses are used to manage and maintain servers remotely. Configure
controller IP addresses for servers before installing the operating system (OS).

4.6.1 Configuring the iMana/iBMC IP Address of Huawei server


The iMana/iBMC is integrated with the Huawei RH series rack server. RH5885H V3 and
RH2288H V2 servers use iMana whereas RH2288H V3 servers use iBMC. It is used to
remotely manage the server. IP address of the iMana/iBMC can be used to remotely log in to
a PC server to manage and maintain PC server in Web mode. For example, you can use this IP
address for remote OS installation, or use it to maintain the PC server if the OS fails to start
properly. Two modes of configuring the iMana/iBMC IP address are available: through
iMana/iBMC management interface and through BIOS.

If a server is not equipped with the KVM, the mode through iMana/iBMC management
interface is recommended.

l Through iMana/iBMC management interface:


– Advantage: The Huawei RH series rack server does not need to be equipped with a
monitor, mouse, or keyboard. Fewer operations are required, compared with the
mode of using BIOS.
– Disadvantage: The Internet Explorer may shut down automatically or not respond.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows:
i. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar to close the Internet
Explorer. If the Internet Explorer is still open, stop the iexplore.exe process on
the Processes tab page in the Task Manager.
ii. Open the Internet Explorer.
l Through BIOS:
– Advantage: No abnormality will occur if operations are performed correctly.
– Disadvantage: The Huawei RH series rack server must be equipped with a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard. More operations are required, compared with the mode of
using the iMana/iBMC management interface.
NOTE

l For more operations on the Huawei RH5885H V3 server, log in to the server's official website at

4.6.2 Configuring the IMM IP Address


The IMM (Integrated Management Module) is integrated with the IBM X series servers. It is
used to remotely manage the server. IP address of the IMM can be used to remotely log in to a
PC server to manage and maintain PC server in Web mode. For example, you can use this IP
address for remote OS installation, or use it to maintain the PC server if the OS fails to start
properly. Two modes of configuring the IMM IP address are available: through IMM
management interface and through BIOS.

If a server is not equipped with the KVM, the mode through IMM management interface is
recommended.

l Through IMM management interface:


– Advantage: The IBM server does not need to be equipped with a monitor, mouse, or
keyboard. Fewer operations are required, compared with the mode of using BIOS.
– Disadvantage: The Internet Explorer may shut down automatically or not respond.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows:
i. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar to close the Internet
Explorer. If the Internet Explorer is still open, stop the iexplore.exe process on
the Processes tab page in the Task Manager.
ii. Open the Internet Explorer.
l Through BIOS:
– Advantage: No abnormality will occur if operations are performed correctly.
– Disadvantage: The IBM server must be equipped with a monitor, mouse, and
keyboard. More operations are required, compared with the mode of using the IMM
management interface.

4.7 Configuring RAID


RAID needs to be configured before an operating system is installed in order to improve the
efficiency and security of using server hard disks.
RAID is a technology used to combine multiple independent physical hard disks in various
modes to form logical hard disk groups. A logical hard disk group provides storage capacity
greater than that of a single hard disk and allows implementation of data redundancy
protection.

4.7.1 Configuring the RAID in Remote Mode (Huawei RH2288H


V3 and Huawei RH5885H V3, ISO)
The RAID needs to be configured before an operating system is installed in order to improve
the efficiency and security of using server hard disks.

Prerequisites
l A PC or laptop on which the Internet Explorer browser is installed is ready.
l The version of the Internet Explorer browser must be 9.0 or above and the Internet
Explorer cannot be configured with a proxy server.
l The IP address of the iBMC is available. For details about how to set the IP address of
the iBMC, see 4.6.1.2 Configuring the iBMC IP Address Through iBMC
Management Interface(HUAWEI RH2288H V3 and HUAWEI RH5885H V3).
l ISO image file of the quick RAID configuration DVD
Sles_server_raid_x64_for_Huawei_dvd.iso must be ready.
l Ensure that eight hard disks of the server are available (if a disk array is configured,
ensure that the two hard disks of the server are available). Otherwise, RAID
configuration fails. For details, see A.2.9 Viewing Hard Disk Information (Huawei
RH2288H V3 or Huawei RH5885H V3).

Context
RAID is a technology used to combine multiple independent physical hard disks in various
modes to form logical hard disk groups. A logical hard disk group provides storage capacity
greater than that of a single hard disk and allows implementation of data redundancy

NOTICE
Ensure that the server has two or eight hard disks, otherwise, automatically configuring a
RAID using the ISO image file may fail. If the server has over eight hard disks, manually
configure a RAID using the controller card.

l If the delivered server is not connected to a disk array, ensure that the Huawei
RH2288H V3 server and Huawei RH5885H V3 server for standard delivery have
eight 600G hard disks, and the RAID level plan and partition plan are as follows.
– The first and second hard disks are configured as RAID 1 for installing OS software
and data.
– The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth hard disks are configured as RAID 10 for storing
service data and software.
– The seventh hard disk is used to system back up. It is configured as RAID 0.
– The eighth hard disk is configured as RAID 0 to back up the database.
l If the delivered server is connected to a disk array, ensure that the Huawei
RH5885H V3 server for standard delivery has two 600G hard disks, the disk array
OceanStor 5500 V3 or OceanStor S3900 have 12 hard disks, and the RAID level
plan and partition plan are as follows.
– Configure the two hard disks on the server as RAID 1. Install the OS software and
U2000 project-related software and configure OS data.

4.8 Installing the SUSE Linux OS by Using the Quick


Installation CD-ROM
This topic describes how to use a quick installation DVD-ROM delivered with Huawei
devices to install the SUSE Linux OS.

NOTE

The installation DVD-ROM delivered with the SUSE Linux OS is used to install the SUSE Linux OS is
unavailable.

A quick installation DVD-ROM can be used to install the OS and patches. During installation,
you do not need to manually partition hard disks, reducing the probability of misoperation and
improves the installation efficiency. Using a quick installation DVD-ROM to install the SUSE
Linux OS is recommended.

You can use a quick installation DVD-ROM to install the OS on the IBM X series servers or
Huawei RH series rack servers in two modes: remote and local. If a server is not configured
with the KVM, using the remote mode is recommended.

l Remote SUSE Linux installation:


– Advantage: The server does not need to be equipped with a monitor, mouse, or
keyboard. Remote operation on the server is allowed.
– Disadvantage: Some faults may occur. For example, the Internet Explorer does not
respond, the Internet Explorer, Video Viewer or Remote Virtual Console icon on
the taskbar does not respond, the Internet Explorer closes automatically, the user
cannot open the Video Viewer or Remote Virtual Console window after a user
closes the Internet Explorer and Video Viewer or Remote Virtual Console
windows, the case of letters reversal, and so on.
When the Video Viewer or Remote Virtual Console window is closed, the original
session is still there.
If an Internet Explorer or Video Viewer fault occurs in the IMM, see A.3.7 How to
Solve IMM Problems to rectify the fault.
If an Internet Explorer, two pointers, or Remote Virtual Console fault occurs in the
iMana, see A.2.4 How to Solve iMana/iBMC Problems.

4.9 Installing the U2000 Software


This topic describes how to start the U2000 installation.

4.9.1 Preparing Software Packages


The U2000 can be installed using a software package or a DVD. If the U2000 is installed
using a software package, the software packages and the PGP verification files of the software
file in the .asc format need to be uploaded to the server and decompressed. If the U2000 is
installed using a DVD, you can skip the operations mentioned in this topic.

Prerequisites
l Installation software is on-hand. For details, see Checking Required Software.
l Make sure that the SFTP (more secure, recommended) services are enabled. For details,
see A.1.2 How to Start/Stop the FTP/SFTP/Telnet Service in the SUSE Linux OS.

Procedure
Step 1 Perform the following operations to upload software packages and the mappings PGP
verification files (the file format is .asc) to the /opt/install path on the server.
1. Log in to the SUSE Linux OS as user root through remote login software or the
Windows OS CLI.
2. Run the following command to create the /opt/install directory:
# mkdir /opt/install

NOTICE
If the /opt/install directory already exists, ensure that it is empty; otherwise, the newly
installed U2000 may be abnormal.

3. Use SFTP to upload the software packages and the mappings PGP verification files (the
file format is .asc) to the /opt/install directory on the server as the root user. FileZilla
tool is recommended to transfer files. For details about how to use FileZilla to transfer
files, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to Transfer Files by SFTP.

NOTE
The installation packages to be uploaded are as follows:
1. Database software (Mandatory): U2000version_server_db_linux_sybase.tar
2. Security enhancement software SetSuse (Mandatory):
U2000version_VPPSetSuse11V300R003C22SPC200.tar
3. Preconfigured component(Mandatory):U2000version_server_ICMR_sles_x64.tar
4. Basic components (Mandatory): U2000version_server_nmsbase_sles_x64.7z
5. Core components (Mandatory): U2000version_server_nmscore_sles_x64.7z
6. Components of the transport domain (Select it if you want to manage transport or PTN
equipment): U2000version_server_nmstrans_sles_x64.7z
7. Components of the IP domain (Select it if you want to manage routers, switches, or security
equipment): U2000version_server_nmsip_sles_x64.7z
8. Components of the access domain (Select it if you want to manage access equipment):
U2000version_server_nmsaccess_sles_x64.7z
Ensure that all mandatory software packages are uploaded. If a software package is not uploaded,
the U2000 installation may be interrupted because a file is lacked. Selecting the components of the
transport, IP, and access domains is recommended. After the components are selected, you only
need not to download software again when adding domains. In this situation, only the disk space,
not the database space, is occupied.

Step 2 Use the PGPverify software to verify the uploaded software packages.
NOTE

Download the latest version.


1. Download and decompress the PGPverify tool.
– For carrier: visit http://support.huawei.com/carrier/digitalSignatureAction to download the
OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide package and decompress it to obtain the OpenPGP
Signature Verification Guide.pdf, VerificationTools.zip and KEYS. Continue to decompress the
VerificationTools.zip package in the current folder.
– For enterprise: visit http://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/tool/software-digital-signature-
validation-tool--pgp-verify--TL1000000054 to download the OpenPGP Signature Verification
Guide.pdf, VerificationTools.zip and KEYS and decompress the VerificationTools.zip package.
2. Go to the VerificationTools folder that is generated after decompression and obtain the PGPVerify
software PGPVerify-x86_64.tar.gz for Linux OS in linux\X86\bit64\PGPVerify TOOL folder.
3. KEYS is the public key file.
1. Use SFTP as the root user to upload the obtained PGPverify software PGPVerify-
x86_64.tar.gz and public key file KEYS to the /opt directory on the server. For details
about the SFTP transfer method, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to Transfer Files
by SFTP.
2. Run the following commands to verify the installation software packages:
# cd /opt
# tar xvfz PGPVerify-x86_64.tar.gz
# ./PGPVerify -k KEYS -d install

NOTE

l For a certain file, if the command output does not contain "WARN" or "FAIL", the signature file is valid.
l If a version has multiple signature files to be verified, the version is secure only when the verification
results of all files are "PASS". If the verification results contain "WARN" or "FAIL", the verification is
not passed and security risks exist. In that event, re-download the software packages.

Step 3 Run the following commands to switch to the directory where the software packages are
stored, and run the tar command to decompress Preconfigured component on the server.
# cd /opt/install
# tar xvf U2000version_server_ICMR_sles_x64.tar

n Bond: On the SUSE Linux OS, the bond technology is used to form a virtual layer between
the physical layer and the data link layer. This technology allows two server NICs connecting
to a switch to be bound to one IP address. The MAC addresses of the two NICs are also
automatically bound as one MAC address. In this manner, a virtual NIC is formed. The bond
technology supports two modes: double-live and primary/secondary. In double-live mode,
after receiving request data from a remote server, the virtual NIC on the server determines
data transmission based on an algorithm, improving network throughput and usability of the
server. In primary/secondary mode, if an NIC does not function properly, services will be
automatically switched to the other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS
supports the binding of NICs in primary/secondary mode.

4.10.2 Configuring System Commissioning Parameters


After the U2000 is installed initially, you must use the commissioning tool to adjust system
parameters, such as the IP address and host name. You do not need to modify parameters that
do not require adjustment.

Prerequisites

NOTICE
l Manually changing the system IP address causes a failure to use the commissioning tool.
Therefore, configure the system IP address through the commissioning tool.
l All network information will be cleared when you adjust the networking by using the Set
Network commissioning item of the Commissioning Tool. If southbound and northbound
IP addresses are configured independently on the customer's network, reconfigure them
after the networking is adjusted.

l A laptop computer or PC is available.

Step 5 The encoding format of the U2000 license file must be UNIX, not DOS. For details about
how to confirm the encoding format of the U2000 license file, see A.5.11 How to Confirm
the Encoding Format of the U2000 License File.

Step 6 Do as follows to load the U2000 license:


NOTE

To make both the U2000 commercial and temporary licenses take effect, use the GUI mode.

Method one: Use commands to load the license.

1. Use SFTP to upload the license file to the /export/home/ossuser directory on the server
as the ossuser user. For details, see A.1.27 How to Use the FileZilla to Transfer Files
by SFTP.
NOTE

If the license file uploaded by the root user is used, the ossuser user may not have the read
permission and therefore the license fails to be updated. Use the license uploaded by the ossuser
user. If security hardening is performed on the OS, FTP/SFTP rights of ossuser will be disabled.
In this case, you need to upload files to the backup directory in the FTP root directory as the
ftpuser user (the FTP root directory of ftpuser is /opt/backup/ftpboot).
2. To activate the license file, run the following commands:
a. Log in to the OS of the server as the ossuser user.
b. Run the following commands to update the U2000 license file:
$ cd /export/home/ossuser
$ updateLicense -file License_file_name.dat

Information similar to the following is displayed:


state product feature item name
old value new value
no change: U2000 COMMON LSW1CAPA01 Client
500 500

1 1
no change: U2000 COMMON LSW1FMCLT01 Alarm
Export 1 1
no change: U2000 COMMON LSW1RENOTI01
Client 1 1

Are you sure to update the license?(Y/N)

c. Enter Y and press Enter.

Method two: Load the license in the GUI.

1. Save the license to be loaded to the server where the U2000 client is located.
2. Log in to the OS as a user with the administrator rights where the client program is
installed.
3. On the OS desktop, double-click the U2000 Client shortcut icon. The Login dialog box
is displayed.

4.11 Configuring the Cold Standby Solution (Cold


Standby Solution)
The U2000 cold standby solution supports manual and automatic backup and restore. If
manual backup and restore is used, you need to manually start the backup or restoration task
each time. If automatic backup and restore is used, you only need to configure a scheduled
backup task and a scheduled restoration task. Automatic backup and restore is recommended.
In automatic backup and restore mode, you need to configure a scheduled backup task on the
primary site and a scheduled restoration task on the secondary site to implement fast
restoration with cold backup data. For specific operations of manual backup and restore, see
the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator
Guide. This topic applies only to the cold standby solution. If the cold standby solution is not
required, skip this topic.

4.11.1 Configuring Automatic Backup Tasks on the Primary Site


This topic describes how to create a scheduled backup task on the primary site. After a
scheduled backup task is created, the data of the primary site can be automatically backed up.

Prerequisites
l A single server U2000 system whose version, deployment domain, language, OS type,
server time, and time zone are the same as those on the primary site is installed on the
secondary site.
l The U2000 processes and the database are running on the primary site.
l Network communication between the primary site and the secondary site is normal, and
the minimum bandwidth is 10 Mbit/s.
l The SFTP Server service has been activated on the primary site, and related ports
(including the SFTP service port 22) have been enabled.
NOTE

For details on enabling the SFTP Server service on a SUSE Linux operating system, see A.1.2
How to Start/Stop the FTP/SFTP/Telnet Service in the SUSE Linux OS.
l If a firewall is deployed between the primary site and the secondary site, the SFTP
service port (by default, port 22) on the firewall must be enabled. For details on enabling
the SFTP service port on a firewall, see the firewall user guide.
l Only one scheduled backup or restoration task is allowed on a single server. For
example, if you create a new automatic backup task on the primary site, the old backup
task on the primary site will become invalid and only the new one will be retained.

Context
In upgrade, reconstruction, and data migration scenarios, you may need to back up or restore
U2000 data manually. For details, see the Manually Execute Backup and Restoration
Tasks section of the U2000 Administrator Guide.

NOTE

Method 1 uses the ossuser user as an example.


The root/dbuser/webuser user cannot use SSH to log in to the OS. After security hardening
is enabled, change the root/dbuser/webuser user password by using Method 2.
b. Open the command terminal, run the following command to set the OS user
password:
$ passwd

c. Enter the current ossuser user password as prompted, the default password is
Changeme_123.
d. Enter a new password as prompted, for example, Changeme_123.
To ensure the security of the U2000, passwords must be complex enough. For
example, a password must contain eight or more characters of two types. The
allowed characters are digits, letters, and special characters. Remember to change
passwords regularly.
NOTE
Any character that you enter using the keyboard will be considered a password component,
including Backspace. For example, if you enter the string cBackspaceChangeme_123, the
password is cBackspaceChangeme_123, but not Changeme_123.
e. Enter the new password again as prompted. Press Enter to make the change take
effect.

NOTICE
After the new password takes effect, do not close the CLI.
Open another CLI and log in using the new password to verify the new password. If
the new password is correct, close all the CLIs. If the new password is incorrect,
repeat the preceding steps to change the password again.

l Method 2 (Change the passwords for other OS users, as the root user):
a. Log in to the OS as the root user.
b. Open the command terminal, run the following command to set the OS user
password:

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) A FAQs

Answer
The virtual network computing (VNC) is a component of SUSE Linux. It is a typical thin
client software. The graphics processor service runs on the server and multiple instances can
be created.

l Advantage: A remote computer can access the server using the Internet Explorer. If the
connection is torn down, the desktop can be held by logging in with the same user name

NOTE

l It is recommended that you log in to the OS in SSH (recommended) or Telnet mode, instead of the
Java desktop mode. Then run the commands to enable the VNC services.
l The VNC service is automatically disabled after the OS is restarted to ensure the security of the
U2000. To use the VNC to remotely log in to SUSE Linux, reconfigure the VNC service.
l After installing U2000, the scripts to enable and disable VNC is in the in the /opt/oss/engr/
tools/VNC directory. Before installing U2000, the scripts to enable and disable VNC is in the in
the /opt/install/OSSICMR/tools/VNC directory. The following example describes how to use the
VNC after installing U2000.
l Configure the VNC service as the root user.
a. Use the PuTTY tool to log in to the server as a root user.
b. Optional: Run the following command as user root to set the password for user
root to log in to the VNC. If the VNC login password for user root already exists or
is known, skip this step.
# vncpasswd

i. Enter the password in Password: as prompted and press Enter.


NOTE

An example password is Admin123. A password must consist of 6 to 8 characters. All


characters entered using the keyboard, except the Enter key, will be considered as
password components. Excessive characters will be automatically discarded.
Passwords must be complex enough to ensure the security of the U2000. For example,
a password must contain six or more characters of two types. The allowed characters
are digits, uppercase and lowercase letters, and special characters. Remember to
change passwords regularly and remember the new password.
ii. Enter the password in Verify: as prompted and press Enter.
NOTE
Enter the same password again. The system begins to check whether the passwords are
the same. If so, the password is set successfully. If not, set the password again.
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)?

iii. Enter n and press Enter.


NOTE

l Remember the password that will be used for VNC login as user root.
l If the password is forgotten, log in to the OS as user root, run the vncpasswd command,
and set a new password according to the message.
c. Run the following commands to enable the VNC services.

NOTICE
l Using the Yast2 to set IP addresses is not recommended because intermittent network
disconnection may occur and the NMS may fail to function properly.
l The IP address cannot be located in a network segment on which the IP addresses of some
used network interfaces are located. Otherwise, a network fault occurs.

Step 1 Log in to the OS as the root user.


Step 2 Perform the following operations to query the IP addresses of used network interfaces:
1. Run the following commands to query network interface configurations:
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network
# ls

A message similar to the following will be displayed:


config ifcfg-eth3 ifcfg.template
dhcp ifcfg-eth0 if-up.d
ifcfg-bond0 ifcfg-lo providers
ifroute-lo ifcfg.template routes
ifcfg-eth1 if-down.d routes.YaST2save
ifroute-lo scripts

NOTE

– If the command output contains information similar to ifcfg-bond0, bond has been configured
for the network interface. Perform Step 2.2 to view the IP address of the used network
interface.
– If the command output contains information similar to ifcfg-eth0, bond has not been
configured for the network interface. Perform Step 2.3 to view the IP address of the used
network interface.
2. Optional: If bond has been configured for the network interface, run the following
command to view the IP address of the used network interface:
# cat ifcfg-bond0

A.1.25 How to Fix Garbled Characters in the SUSE Linux


Command Output
Question
How do I fix garbled characters in the SUSE Linux command output?

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) A FAQs

NOTE

l Using the PuTTY or the server terminal window is recommended because local terminals that do not
support the character set configuration. For example, the CLI window of a Windows OS does not support
handling of garbled characters in a command output.
l If the ls command output contains garbled characters, the directory that contains the garbled characters is
created using another type of character set. After the character set is modified, the directory that contains
the garbled characters is normally displayed. Directories that do not contain garbled characters may
include garbled characters after the character set is modified. This does not affect operations on the
U2000. You need to pay attention only to the directory displayed in the current character set.
l If the length of displayed Chinese characters exceeds the CLI window width, garbled characters may
occur.

Answer
l Scenario 1: If you use PuTTY to fix the garbled characters, perform the following
operations to set the PuTTY character set.
a. Right-click on the PuTTY toolbar in the CLI window, choose Change Settings.
The PuTTY Reconfiguration window is displayed.
b. Choose Window > Translation to view the set from the Received data assumed
to be in which character set drop-down list.
NOTE

For PuTTY, a root user should use the Use font encoding character set, and an ossuser
should use the UTF-8 character set. If the current user uses the mapping character set but the
garbled characters are displayed, perform the following operations to modify the character se
l If the current character set is Use font encoding, change it to UTF-8.
l If the current character set is UTF-8, change it to Use font encoding.
l Scenario 3: If you fix the garbled characters using the server terminal window, perform
the following operations to modify the character set in the server terminal window:

Choose Terminal > Set Character Encoding in the server terminal window to view the
character set.

NOTE

For the SUSE Linux OS, a root user should use the GB2312 character set, and an ossuser should
use the Unicode(UTF-8) character set.
If the current user uses the mapping character set but the garbled characters are displayed, perform
the following operations to modify the character set:
For the SUSE Linux OS:
l If the current character set is GB2312, change it to Unicode(UTF-8).
l If the current character set is Unicode(UTF-8), change it to GB2312.
If the used OS has no mapping character set, choose Terminal > Set Character Encoding to add
the mapping character set and select it.

A.1.26 Checking the NTP Service on Linux


This topic describes how to check the NTP service on Linux. Two commands are available to
query the NTP status: ntpq -p and rcntp status. The command outputs help you determine
whether NTP synchronization is normal.

and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) A FAQs

Context
l You can run the rcntp status command as user root to check the running status of the
NTP service.
– If the command output contains running, the NTP service has started.
Checking for network time protocol daemon (NTPD):
running

NOTE

l If the NTP service has been started, port 123 corresponding to the service will also be
enabled. Run the netstat -an |grep 10.185.166.48:123 command to check whether port
123 used by the NTP service has been enabled on the current U2000 server.
10.185.166.48 is the ip address of the current U2000 server.
Information similar to the following is displayed means the port 123 has been enabled.
udp 0 0 10.185.166.48:123
0.0.0.0:* 5695/ntpd
l If no information displayed, means the port 123 has not been enabled. Run the service
ntp restart command to restart the NTP service and port 123 corresponding to the
service will also be enabled.
– If unused is displayed, the NTP service is not started.
Checking for network time protocol daemon (NTPD):
unused

NOTE
If the NTP service is not started, run the service ntp start command to start the NTP service.
l You can run the date command as user root.
– Check whether the medium-level NTP server time and the upper-level NTP
server time are the same.
– Check whether the NTP client time and the upper-level NTP server time are the
same.
If they are the same, the NTP service is in the normal state.
l In the ntpq -p command output, the remote field specifies the address of the reference
clock source. in the return message of the ntpq -p command is the IP address of the
reference time source. It indicates the status of the reference time source.
l The ntptrace command traces the entire NTP synchronization link from the local
machine to the NTP server at the highest level.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to OS as user root.
Step 2 In a command line interface (CLI), run the ntpq -p command to view the NTP clock source.
Step 3 Run the ntptrace command to view the NTP synchronization link.

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Cold Standby & Single-Server System Software Installation
and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) A FAQs

NOTE

Using SFTP (more secure) to transfer files is recommended.


The available FTP modes are ASCII (default) and binary. To ensure that files are available after transfer,
determine the FTP transfer mode before transferring files.
l Generally, license files are transferred in ASCII mode.
l Before the U2000 is installed, you can upload the U2000 license file as the root user.
l After the U2000 is installed, if no security hardening is performed on the OS, you must upload
the U2000 license file as the ossuser user. Otherwise, the U2000 license file will be invalid. If
security hardening is performed on the OS, FTP/SFTP rights of ossuser will be disabled. In
this case, you need to upload files to the backup directory in the FTP root directory as the
ftpuser user (the FTP root directory of ftpuser is /opt/backup/ftpboot).
l Binary files, such as the U2000 installation program and database interfaces file, are transferred in
binary mode.

Answer
Step 1 Run the following command to connect to the server by means of FTP:
ftp server IP address
Enter the user name and password of the server.
Step 2 Set the FTP transfer mode.
l To use the ASCII mode, run the ascii command.
l To use the binary mode, run the bin command.
Step 3 Go to the path to files to be transferred.
lcd path of files to be transferred
Step 4 Go to the path where the files are to be transferred.
cd path to which the files are to be transferred
Step 5 Optional: Run the hash command to view the file uploading progress.

A.5.16 How to Resolve the U2000 SyslogCollectorDM Service


Startup Failure Due to a Port Conflict
Question
The UDP port 514 is used by the syslog service in the SUSE Linux OS to receive remote logs.
After you install the U2000 on the operating system, the SyslogCollectorDM service of the
U2000 also uses port 514 to receive remote logs. If the syslog service is enabled in the SUSE
Linux OS before an upgrade, a port conflict occurs after the upgrade. As a result, the
SyslogCollectorDM service is disabled and the attempt to start the SyslogCollectorDM
service fails.

Answer
To ensure that the NE logs are properly displayed on the U2000 client, disable the remote log
receiving function for the syslog service in the SUSE Linux OS, and allow the U2000
SyslogCollectorDM service instead of the OS receives the remote logs. Perform the following
operations on the nodes where the SyslogCollectorDM service has been deployed to ensure
that UDP port 514 is not used by the OS.
1. Use the PuTTY to log in to the U2000 server as user ossuser in SSH mode.
2. Run the following command to set environment variables.
$ . /opt/oss/server/svc_profile.sh

3. Run the following command to enable the U2000 SyslogCollectorDM service:


$ svc_adm -cmd enable -svcname SyslogCollectorDM
– If the SyslogCollectorDM service is started, the problem is not caused by the port
conflict. The procedure ends.
– If the SyslogCollectorDM service is not started, perform .4.
4. Run the following command to switch to user root.
$ su - root
Password: Password of root

5. Run the following command to view the usage of port UDP 514:
# lsof -i:514
If the following information is displayed, port UDP 514 has been occupied by the syslog
service of the OS:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
syslog-ng 8786 root 5u IPv4 8511952 UDP *:syslog

6. Disable the remote log receiving function for the syslog service in the SUSE Linux OS.
a. Run the following command to stop the syslog service on the OS:
# service syslog stop
b. Run vi to modify the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file.
Comment on the udp<ip<"0.0.0.0"> port<514>> line. Run :wq! to save
the file and exit.
unix-dgram("/dev/log");

#
# uncomment to process log messages from network:
#
# udp<ip<"0.0.0.0"> port<514>>;

c. Run the following command to restart the syslog service:


# service syslog start
7. Run the following command to switch to user ossuser.
# su - ossuser
8. Run the following command to set environment variables.
$ . /opt/oss/server/svc_profile.sh
9. Run the following command to check whether the U2000 SyslogCollectorDM service is
running.
$ svc_adm -cmd status

this directory, replace the directory in the preceding command with the actual installation
directory.
l If the southbound IP address is configured:
– If the device is connected to the network through the server's application IP address,
the server's application IP address should add to the southbound IP address list, see
How Can I Configure an IP Address for the Communication Between the U2000
and Southbound NEs.
– The southbound IP addresses should communicate normally with their
interconnected devices. If the device is connected to the network through the
server's application IP address, the application IP addresses should communicate
normally with their interconnected devices.
– The server's application IP address should communicate normally with all client
networks.
– On the NBI Config Tools query the North IP address which the upper-layer OSS
connected to the network management server, the North IP address should
communicate normally with the upper-layer OSS.
l If the southbound IP address is not configured:
– The server's application IP address should communicate normally with all client
networks.
– The server's application IP address should communicate normally with managed
devices.
– On the NBI Config Tools query the North IP address which the upper-layer OSS
connected to the network management server, the North IP address should
communicate normally with the upper-layer OSS.
NOTE
Log in to the server OS as user root, run the command ping -S NMS_application_IP Destination_IP to
ensure that NMS application IP address can be normal communicated.

A.6.4 Failure to Log In to the U2000 Server from a U2000 Client


Symptom
A user fails to log in to a U2000 client after a user name and a password have been entered in
the login window.

Possible Causes
The possible causes are as follows:
l The U2000 server does not work properly, the U2000 server fails to start properly, the
disk on the U2000 server is full, or the memory usage of the U2000 server is high
because many processes are started.
l An incorrect user name or password has been entered for logging in to the U2000 client.
l The network between the client and server does not function properly.
l The license file is a temporary one or is damaged.
l The number of clients allowed in the license is restricted.
l The port between the client and server is shielded by firewall or viruses. In common
mode, port 31037 is used by default. In SSL mode, port 31039 is used by default.
l The version of the client is inconsistent with that of the server.
l The communication protocol used by the client is inconsistent with that used by the
server.
l The user that logs in to the client is locked. This may be caused by too many times of
login failures.
l The IP address of the computer where the client is installed is not listed in the ACL.
l The OS time on the client is set incorrectly and the ILOG JTGO license is expired.
l The DCN is faulty.
l The dfwModule fails to be loaded.
l The maximum client login limit has been reached.

Procedure
Step 1 If an error message is displayed, locate and rectify the fault as prompted.

Step 2 Check whether the server has been started properly. Ensure that the server runs properly, the
disk space of the server is not used up, and not many processes are started on the server. If
many processes are started on the server, the memory usage is high.
1. Ensure that the disk space of the server is not used up.
– To troubleshoot the full disk space on the server on Windows, perform the
following operations:
Check that disk C is fully used, delete log files, and restart the U2000.
– To troubleshoot the full disk space on the server on Solaris or SUSE Linux, perform
the following operations:
i. Check that the space usage of the /opt directory reaches 100%.
ii. Run the following command to check the distribution of files larger than 100
MB.

Issue 13 (2018-08-31) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 583


iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System

and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) A FAQs

# find /opt -size +200000 -print

Software runs abnormally because temporary files on the server are improperly
large. Delete temporary files from the /opt directory if they occupy large
space.
2. Ensure that not many processes are started on the server.

After the U2000 server is started, do not access the JDE desktop (switch to the CED
environment for the U2000 on the live network). Start the U2000 in CLI mode.

Step 3 Verify that the entered user name and password are correct.

Step 4 If a message indicating that the license file is invalid when you log in to the U2000 client,
rectify the license fault according to A.6.5 How to Resolve the Problem that the License
Does Not Take Effect and log in to the U2000 client.

Step 5 Choose Help > License Management > License Information from the main menu
(traditional style); alternatively, double-click System Management in Application Center
and choose License Management > Licenes Information from the main menu (application
style).
If the number of clients to log in exceeds the maximum number of clients allowed in the
license, apply for a new license and update the U2000 license file.

Step 6 Check whether the versions of the client and server are consistent. If the versions are
inconsistent, a message will be displayed asking you to upgrade the client. In this case, try to
upgrade or reinstall the client.

Step 7 Check whether the communication protocols used by the client and the server are consistent.
If the protocols are inconsistent, modify the protocols so that the protocols are consistent.
NOTE
Run the ssl_adm -cmd query command on the U2000 server to view the communication mode of the
U2000 server. For details, see A.5.10 How to Set the Communication Mode on the U2000 server for
the Single-Server System (SUSE Linux).

Step 8 Check the network between the client and server.


Generally, the communication bandwidth between the client and server is at least 2 Mbit/s and
the packet loss ratio is smaller than 0.1%.
l To check the network between the client and server, run the following command on
Windows:
> ping -t IP_address_of_the_NMS

l To check the network between the client and server, run the following command on
SUSE Linux:
# ping -s IP_address_of_the_NMS

Step 9 Check whether the port between the client and server is shielded by firewall or viruses. Install
a virus scanner, scan the entire disk, and remove viruses. If the client installed on the
computer where the server belongs can log in to the server, but other clients cannot log in,
check whether the port has been added to the Windows firewall. If not, perform the following
operations to add the port to the Windows firewall:
NOTE

In common mode, port 31037 is used by default. In SSL mode, port 31039 is used by default.
Windows Server 2008 is used as an example to describe the procedures for adding a port to a firewall.
The procedures vary according to OSs. For specific procedures, see the Windows help.
1. Choose Start > Control Panel.

2. In the Control Panel window, click windows Firewall.


3. In the windows Firewall window, click Advanced Setting.
4. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, choose Inbound Rules
from the left navigation tree and from New Rule the right navigation tree.
5. In the New Inbound Pule Wizard dialog box, select Port and click Next.
6. In Specific local ports, set Ports and click Next.
7. Select Allow the connection and click Next.
8. Click Next, set Name, and click Finish.

Step 10 Log in to the U2000 client as the admin user and choose Administration > NMS Security >
ACL.
On the U2000, you can set the client IP addresses that can be accessed. If the IP address of a
client is not in the permitted range, the client cannot access the server. For details, see "Setting
the Access Control List" in Chapter "Security Management" in the U2000 Administrator
Guide. If NAT is used for IP address translation for communication between the client and
server, ensure that the translated IP address is permitted in the ACL.

Step 11 If the number of failed login attempts by using the same user exceeds 3, the login authority of
the user is locked.
You can log in to the client again in 30 minutes (default) or unlock the user as another user
that has the authority, such as user admin.

Step 12 Check whether the system time is the current time. If not, modify the system time.

Step 13 Create a user and use it to log in. For details, see "Setting the Maximum Number of Sessions"
in U2000 Administrator Guide.

and the confidentiality and integrity for the transmitted data. A digital certificate is also used
to distribute public keys.

C.2.1 Replacing SSL Certificates Used for the U2000 Server


When the U2000 is installed, the SSL certificate developed by Huawei is loaded for
temporary communication. Do not use this certificate commercially. The U2000 supports
certificate replacement. Before enabling SSL communication, apply for a certificate from a
CA and use it to replace the temporary certificate in the commissioning phase, to improve the
communication security of U2000. This topic describes how to replace the Security Socket
Layer (SSL) certificates used by the U2000 server.

Prerequisites
l You have obtained the trust certificate (rootCA.cer, subCA1.cer) and identity certificate
(server.p12) used by the server and the encryption password for the identity certificate.
l The SSL certificates have been backed up.
l Use the FTP to upload the new SSL certificate files (server.p12, rootCA.cer and
subCA1.cer) to the following directory on the U2000 server as the ossuser user before
you replace the SSL certificate of server.
– Solaris/SUSE Linux: /opt/oss/server/certs.
NOTE

l The directory is true only if the U2000 on Solaris or SUSE Linux OS is installed in /opt/
oss. If the U2000 is not installed in partition /opt, change the partition in the directory
accordingly.
l If security hardening is performed, ossuser FTP/SFTP rights will be disabled. In this
case, you need to upload files to the backup directory in the FTP root directory as the
ftpuser user (the FTP root directory of ftpuser is /opt/backup/ftpboot) and then copy
files to the target directory as the ossuser user.
– Windows: D:\oss\server\certs.

NOTE
The directory is true only if the U2000 on Windows OS is installed in D:\oss. If the U2000 is
not installed in partition D, change the partition in the directory accordingly.

NOTICE
Place only the certificate files server.p12, rootCA.cer and subCA1.cer in this directory.
Do not place other files in it. Otherwise, the certificate replacement script will fail to be
executed.

l The U2000 processes have been shutdown.

Context
l By default, the U2000 client authenticates the U2000 server, but the U2000 server does
not authenticate the U2000 client.
l The Huawei-predefined SSL certificates used to safeguard communication between the
U2000 server and client are located in the following directory:
– On Solaris or SUSE Linux OS: /opt/oss/server/etc/ssl.
– On Windows OS: D:\oss\server\etc\ssl.
l The MSuite and the U2000 use the same SSL certificates.
l The following script-based replacement procedure assumes that your OS is Solaris or
SUSE Linux OS. If your OS is Windows, replace the certificates for the U2000 server in
a similar way.

NOTICE
After SSL Certificates for the U2000 server have been replaced, you may fail to log in to
the MSuite.

Procedure
l Replace SSL certificates for the U2000 server through the GUI.
a. Ensure that the MSuite servers on the primary and secondary sites have been
started.
Run the following command as the root user to check whether the MSuite servers
are started:
NOTE

If security hardening is enabled, log in to the OS as the ossuser user. Then run the su - root
command and enter the root user password to switch to the root user.
# ps -ef | grep java

Prerequisites
l The U2000 services are running properly.
l The U2000 server communicates properly with the optical fiber of the OceanStor 5500
V3 disk array.
l The IP network between the U2000 server and the OceanStor 5500 V3 disk array is
normal.
l Log in to the U2000 server as user ossuser.

Context
The monitoring software OceanStor Device Manager monitors the hardware status of an
OceanStor 5500 V3 disk array, including the hard disks, controllers, power supplies, fans,
optical ports, and batteries. If the hardware becomes faulty or fails to work, the U2000 reports
an alarm.
l While the U2000 is being upgraded, a patch is being installed on the U2000, or the
network between the server and the disk array becomes faulty, the alarms generated on
the disk array cannot be handled in time. After the system restores, the historical alarms
will not be reported to the U2000.
l Device Manager, an integrated storage management platform provided by Huawei, can
manage multiple sets of disk arrays. You do not need to download or install Device
Manager because it has been installed on the disk array before delivery.
NOTE

l Configure disk array monitoring on either controller A or B. The following example describes how
to configure disk array monitoring on controller A.
l To configure the monitoring function for the disk array, ensure the network communication
between the IP address of the disk array controller set in the following steps and the NMS
application IP address is normal. Otherwise, the disk array may fail to report alarms to the U2000.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the following command on the U2000 server to log in to controller A of the OceanStor
5500 V3 disk array in SSH mode:
$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib
$ ssh admin@IP address of controller A

NOTICE
The default administrator name is admin and the initial password of the admin user is
Admin@storage. If the U2000 is preinstalled before being delivered, the password has been
changed to Changeme_123. To ensure system security, change the password after you log in
to the system for the first time and the password must be complex enough.
If the system displays Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?, type yes
and press Enter.

Step 2 Optional: If monitoring is configured for the OceanStor 5500 V3 disk array for the first time,
change the Kaimse password of the SNMP user. For details, see A.5.21 How to Change the
Private Key of the SNMPv3 User Between U2000 and the Disk Array.

Step 3 Run the following command to check whether the disk array has been assigned Trap IP,
namely, the NMS application IP address.
admin:/> show notification trap

Server ID Server IP Server Port Trap Version Trap Type


--------- ------------- ----------- ------------ ---------
0 10.168.9.251 23001 v3 All

l If the system does not display any command output, the disk array has not been assigned
Trap IP. Perform Step 4.
l If the system displays any command output, the disk array has been assigned Trap IP. In
the command output, check whether IP Address is correct.
– If IP Address is correct, go to Step 5.
– If IP Address is incorrect, run the following command to change Trap IP. Then
perform Step 5.
admin:/> change notification trap server_id=service ID trap_version=SNMP
version server_ip=IP address server_port=service port number
NOTE

n service ID specifies the service ID corresponding to the Server ID whose trap IP


address needs to be modified.
n SNMP version specifies the SNMP version corresponding to the Trap Version whose
trap IP address to be modified.
When Trap Version is v3, SNMP version is 3. When Trap Version is v2, SNMP
version is 2. Setting the Trap Version to SNMPv3 (more secure) is recommended.
n IP address specifies the actual trap IP address.
n service port number specifies the service port number corresponding to the Server
Port whose trap IP address needs to be modified.
Set the preceding parameters according to on-site requirements.
Use the preceding command output as an example. If you need to change Trap IP
of the disk array from 10.168.9.251 to 10.168.9.241, run the following command:
admin:/> change notification trap server_id=0 trap_version=v3
server_ip=10.168.9.241 server_port=23001

After the modification is complete, run the show notification trap command to
check whether Trap IP is successfully changed.
Step 4 Optional: If the trap IP address for disk array has not bee configured, run the following
command to set the trap IP address:
This section uses 192.168.9.241 as an example. In a single-server system, set the Trap IP of
the disk array to the U2000 application IP address. In an HA system, set the Trap IP of the
disk array to the primary U2000 application IP address.
admin:/> add notification trap trap_version=v3 server_ip=10.168.9.241
server_port=23001

Step 5 Run the following command to check whether the system time of the disk array is consistent
with that of the U2000 server to which the disk array connects.
admin:/> show system general

C.3.2 Configuring the Monitoring Function for an S3900 Disk


Array
This section describes how to configure the monitoring function for an S3900 disk array.
After you configure the monitoring function, the U2000 automatically reports an alarm if the
S3900 disk array becomes faulty or fails to work.

Prerequisites
l The U2000 services are running properly.
l The U2000 server communicates properly with the optical fiber of the S3900 disk array.
l The IP network between the U2000 server and the S3900 disk array is normal.
l Log in to the U2000 server as user ossuser.

Context
The monitoring software OceanStor Integrated Storage Management (ISM) monitors the
hardware status of an S3900 disk array, including the hard disks, controllers, power supplies,
fans, optical ports, and batteries. If the hardware becomes faulty or fails to work, the U2000
reports an alarm.
l While the U2000 is being upgraded, a patch is being installed on the U2000, or the
network between the server and the disk array becomes faulty, the alarms generated on
the disk array cannot be handled in time. After the system restores, the historical alarms
will not be reported to the U2000.
l OceanStor ISM, an integrated storage management platform provided by Huawei, can
manage multiple sets of disk arrays. You do not need to download or install OceanStor
ISM because it has been installed on the disk array before delivery.
NOTE

l Configure disk array monitoring on either controller A or B. The following example describes how
to configure disk array monitoring on controller A.
l To configure the monitoring function for the disk array, ensure the network communication
between the IP address of the disk array controller set in the following steps and the NMS
application IP address is normal. Otherwise, the disk array may fail to report alarms to the U2000.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the following command on the U2000 server to log in to controller A of the S3900 disk
array in SSH mode:
$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib

$ ssh admin@IP address of controller A

NOTICE
The initial user name for the administrator user is admin, and the password is
Admin@storage. To ensure system security, change the password after you log in to the
system for the first time and the password must be complex enough.
If the system displays Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?, type yes
and press Enter.

Step 2 Run the following command to check whether the disk array has been assigned Trap IP,
namely, the NMS application IP address.

admin:/> showtrapip
============================================================
Trap IP Information
------------------------------------------------------------
Server ID Server IP Server Port Trap Version
------------------------------------------------------------
0 10.168.9.251 23001 SNMPv3
============================================================

l If the system does not display any command output, the disk array has not been assigned
Trap IP. Perform Step 3.
l If the system displays any command output, the disk array has been assigned Trap IP. In
the command output, check whether IP Address is correct.
– If IP Address is correct, go to Step 4.
– If IP Address is incorrect, run the following command to change Trap IP. Then
perform Step 4.
admin:/> chgtrapip -server service ID -ip IP address -port service port
number-ver SNMP version
NOTE

n service ID specifies the service ID corresponding to the Server ID whose trap IP


address needs to be modified.
n IP address specifies the actual trap IP address.
n service port number specifies the service port number corresponding to the Server
Port whose trap IP address needs to be modified.
n SNMP version specifies the SNMP version corresponding to the Trap Version whose
trap IP address to be modified.
When Trap Version is SNMPv3, SNMP version is 3. When Trap Version is SNMPv2,
SNMP version is 2. Setting the Trap Version to SNMPv3 (more secure) is
recommended.
Set the preceding parameters according to on-site requirements.
Use the preceding command output as an example. If you need to change Trap IP
of the disk array from 10.168.9.251 to 10.168.9.241, run the following command:
admin:/> chgtrapip -server 0 -ip 10.168.9.241 -port 23001 -ver 3

After the modification is complete, run the showtrapip command to check whether
Trap IP is successfully changed.

Step 3 Optional: If the trap IP address for disk array has not bee configured, run the following
command to set the trap IP address:

This section uses 192.168.9.241 as an example. In a single-server system, set the Trap IP of
the disk array to the U2000 application IP address. In an HA system, set the Trap IP of the
disk array to the primary U2000 application IP address.
admin:/> addtrapip -ip 10.168.9.241 -port 23001 -ver 3

Step 4 Run the following command to check whether the system time of the disk array is consistent
with that of the U2000 server to which the disk array connects.

admin:/> showsys

The system time of the disk array must be the same as that of the U2000 server to which the
disk array is connected. If the system times are inconsistent, run the following commands:

admin:/> chgsystime -time 2012-11-21/11:05:00

NOTE

This section assumes that you change the system time of the disk array to 2012-11-21/11:05:00, with the
precision comes to minutes.
The chgsystime command is used to change the system time. The system time ranges from
1970-01-01/00:00:00 to 2069-12-31/23:59:00.

Step 5 Run the following commands to exit controller A:

admin:/> exit

C.4 Configuring and Testing the FTP Service


During data synchronization, upgrade, backup, and patch installation of NEs, you need to
configure and test the FTP and SFTP service to ensure that the FTP services work properly
between NE software, the U2000, and NEs. This topic describes how to configure and test the
FTP and SFTP services on the U2000.

C.4.1 Overview of the FTP Service Used by the U2000


This topic describes the protocol mode, operation mode, and usage scenarios of the FTP
service used by the U2000.

FTP Service Protocol Mode


The U2000 supports two protocol modes for transferring FTP files: FTP and SFTP. In
comparison with FTP, SFTP is more secure and therefore is recommended to enhance system
security. For details about close insecure protocols, see A.1.2 How to Start/Stop the FTP/
SFTP/Telnet Service in the SUSE Linux OS.

NOTE
According to security requirements, the FTP service at the secondary site in an HA system is disabled by
default so that the site cannot be connected through FTP. You can use SFTP instead.

FTP Service Operation Mode


The U2000 supports two operation modes for using the FTP service: local FTP service mode
and third-party FTP service mode.

Figure C-1 FTP Service Operation Mode

l Local FTP service mode: The U2000 server functions as the FTP server. During the
U2000 installation, an FTP/SFTP user is created by default to implement file transfer
among the client, NEs, and U2000 server.
l Third-party FTP service mode: A computer is configured as the FTP server. In this case,
the FTP/SFTP service must be installed on the computer and an FTP/SFTP user must be
created to implement file transfer among the client, NEs, and U2000 server.

FTP Service Usage Scenario


After the U2000 is installed, four FTP accounts and eight FTP applications are provided by
default. Figure C-2 shows the default FTP accounts used by default FTP applications.

Figure C-2 Default FTP accounts used by default FTP applications

After the U2000 is installed, one default local FTP account and three default third-party FTP
accounts are available. Each FTP account is a combination of the FTP service mode, FTP user
account, and main directory. FTP applications can directly use the FTP accounts without
requiring the input of FTP user names or other information. The default local FTP account has
a default local FTP user named ftpuser. Information about the default local FTP account has
been configured and therefore can be directly used. However, the default third-party FTP
accounts can be properly used only after their information is configured on the third-party
FTP server. The following table lists information about the default FTP accounts.

C.4.2 Procedure for Configuring and Testing the FTP Service on


the U2000
This topic describes the procedure for configuring and testing the FTP service on the U2000.
After the U2000 is installed, each application of the FTP service obtains a default FTP
account that is bound to a default FTP user. To enable an application to use the FTP service
with its own FTP account, create an FTP user and an FTP account mapped to the user, and
then add the FTP account to the application. You are advised to use the default FTP account,
without adding any new FTP user. Figure C-3 shows the procedure for configuring and
testing the FTP service.

C.4.3 Checking the Startup Status of FTP Servers (Linux)


This topic describes how to check the startup status of local FTP servers. If the involved FTP
server has not been started, start it manually.

Prerequisites
FTP servers are functioning properly, and the FTP/SFTP service has been installed.

Context
The U2000 supports both local and third-party FTP servers. If over 5,000 NEs are managed,
you are advised to use third-party FTP servers to transfer files between the U2000 and NEs.
This topic focuses on how to check the startup status of a local FTP server.
If a local FTP server is used (SFTP is recommended because it provides better security.), the
FTP/SFTP service is automatically installed.
l The ftpuser user is automatically created during U2000 installation. The ftpuser user is
a default user of the FTP service that is enabled by default.
l the OpenSSH software is automatically installed during U2000 installation. In addition,
the SFTP service is automatically installed, and the ftpuser and sshd users are
automatically created.
– sshd: user of the SSH service that is disabled by default. This user is automatically
created during OpenSSH installation.
– ftpuser: default user of the SFTP service that is enabled by default. This user is
created by the U2000.

NOTE
According to security requirements, the FTP service at the secondary site in an HA system is disabled by
default so that the site cannot be connected through FTP. You can use SFTP instead.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the operating system as a user with ossuser rights.

Step 2 Use the FTP software (for example, FileZilla) to connect to the U2000 server. If the
connection is successful, the FTP service has started. If the connection fails, the FTP service
has not started.

Start/Stop the FTP/SFTP/Telnet Service in the SUSE Linux OS.

C.4.4 Creating an FTP User


This topic describes how to create an FTP user on the local FTP server and specify a
password for the user.

Context
l After the U2000 is installed, each FTP service application has a default FTP account that
is bound to a default FTP user. An FTP user must be created only when an application
requires an independent account.
l A newly created user can be an FTP or SFTP user.
l This topic only describes how to create an FTP user on the local FTP server. If a third-
party FTP user is required for an application, the user must have been created and the
user account is valid.
l The procedure below instructs you how to create the FTP user neftpuser, assuming that
the main FTP directory is /opt/backup/neftpboot/ and the user's files need to be saved
to /opt/backup/neftpboot/ftproot/.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the local FTP server as the root user root using SSH.

Step 2 Run the following command to create the FTP user named neftpuser:
# useradd -d /opt/backup/neftpboot -g ossgroup -G ossgroup -m -k /etc/skel -
s /bin/bash neftpuser

NOTE

l neftpuser is the newly created FTP user.


l /opt/backup/neftpboot is the main path for the newly created FTP user and must be unique.

Step 3 Set a password for the newly created FTP user as follows:
1. Run the following command to set a password for the FTP user.
# passwd FTP user name

For example, passwd neftpuser.

and Commissioning Guide (SUSE Linux) C Manual Commissioning Task

2. Enter a new password as prompted, for example, Changeme_123.


To ensure the security of the U2000, passwords must be complex enough. For example, a
password must contain eight or more characters of two types. The allowed characters are
digits, letters, and special characters. Remember to change passwords regularly.
3. Enter the new password again as prompted. Press Enter to make the change take effect.
NOTE
In addition, you can perform the preceding steps to change the default FTP user password.

Step 4 Run the following command to assign rights to the main path of the newly created FTP user:
# chmod 755 /opt/backup/neftpboot
# chown root:ossgroup /opt/backup/neftpboot

Step 5 Run the following commands to create the directory to which the new FTP user's files will be
saved to and assign rights to the directory:
# mkdir -p /opt/backup/neftpboot/ftproot
# chmod 771 /opt/backup/neftpboot/ftproot
# chown ossuser:ossgroup /opt/backup/neftpboot/ftproot

NOTE

l /opt/backup/neftpboot is the main path for the newly created FTP user.
l FTP root directory/ftproot/ is the directory where files are saved.

Step 6 Perform the following operations so that the newly created FTP user can access only the
directory for the FTP user neftpuser and files:
NOTE
After this step is performed, the newly created FTP user neftpuser can access only the directory for the
FTP user neftpuser (/ftproot) and files.
l Perform the following operations so that the newly created FTP user can access only the
main directory, sub-directories, and files:
a. Log in to the local FTP server as the root user root using SSH.
b. Run the vi command to open the vsftpd.chroot_list file.
# vi /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Syntax Structure of Command Lines

NOTICE
The number pad keyboard is not recommended. This is because Num Lock may fail to work
normally when the OS is installed on certain machines.

On the desktop of the GUI OS, right-click in the blank area and choose Open in Terminal
from the shortcut menu to access the CLI.

The syntax structure of command lines is as follows:


command option parameter

The SUSE Linux commands are case-sensitive. That is, the OS considers an uppercase letter
and its corresponding lowercase letter two different letters. For example, when you want to
use the command for displaying the files in the certain directory, the OS can correctly run the
ls command, but it cannot run the Ls command because the Ls command is considered as an
invalid system command. The options in the SUSE Linux commands are used to change the
command execution method. Generally, the options start with the en-dash (-).

For example, run the following command to display the files and the related details in the /opt
directory:

ls -al /opt

Switching Users
The SUSE Linux OS has strict user management rules. Different OS users can access only
associated applications.
l To switch OS users, run the following command:
su - OS user name
Leave a space between - and OS user name.
For example, to switch to the ossuser user, run the following command:
su - ossuser
NOTE

The differences between su - ossuser and su ossuser are as follows:


l After the su - ossuser user is switched to the ossuser user, both the operational permissions
and environmental variables of the ossuser user are obtained.
l After the su ossuser user is switched to the ossuser user, only operational permissions and not
environmental variables of the ossuser user are obtained.
l To exit an OS user, run the following command:
exit
NOTE

To switch back to the root user, run the exit command several times until the prompt changes to #.

virtual NIC on the server determines data transmission based on an algorithm,
improving network throughput and usability of the server. In primary/secondary mode,
if an NIC does not function properly, services will be automatically switched to the
other NIC, ensuring service protection. The SUSE Linux OS supports the binding of
NICs in primary/secondary mode.

called a client. The program satisfying the request is called the server. It is usually
easier to build client software than build the server software.
client/server software A message-based and modular software architecture that comprises servers and
architecture clients. Compared with the centralized, mainframe, and time sharing computing, the
client/server software architecture improves the usability, flexibility, interoperability,
and scalability. In this architecture, a client is defined as the party that requires
services and a server is defined as the party that provides services. The client/server
architecture reduces network traffic by providing a query response rather than
transferring all files.

the interior of a cluster, the nodes share the load.
committed access rate A traffic control method that uses a set of rate limits to be applied to a router interface.
CAR is a configurable method by which incoming and outgoing packets can be
classified into QoS (Quality of Service) groups, and by which the input or output
transmission rate can be defined.
Committed The rate at which a frame relay network agrees to transfer information in normal
Information Rate conditions. Namely, it is the rate, measured in bit/s, at which the token is transferred to
the leaky bucket.

IPv4 The abbreviation of Internet Protocol version 4. IPv4 utilizes a 32bit address which is
assigned to hosts. An address belongs to one of five classes (A, B, C, D, or E) and is
written as 4 octets separated by periods and may range from 0.0.0.0 through to
255.255.255.255. Each address consists of a network number, an optional subnetwork
number, and a host number. The network and subnetwork numbers together are used
for routing, and the host number is used to address an individual host within the

Object Set A collection of managed objects. Object sets are established to facilitate the user right
management. If a user (or user group) is authorized with the operation rights of an
object set, the user (or user group) can perform all the authorized operations on all the
objects within the object set. This saves you the trouble of setting the management
rights for each NE one by one. Object sets can be created by geographical area,
network layer, equipment type and so on.
OMC See Operation and Maintenance Center

Operation and An Operations and Maintenance Centre is an element within a network management
Maintenance Center system responsible for the operations and maintenance of a specific element or group
of elements. For example an OMC-Radio may be responsible for the management of a
radio subsystem where as an OMC-Switch may be responsible for the management of
a switch or exchange. However, these will in turn be under the control of a NMC
(Network Management Centre) which controls the entire network.
Operation Rights Operation Rights specify the concrete operation that the user can perform. The
operation right aims at the security objects. If one user has no right to manage one
device, he or she cannot operate the device.
Operation Set A collection of operations. Classifying operations into operation sets helps to manage
user operation rights. Operations performed by different users have different impacts
on system security. Operations with similar impacts are classified into an operation
set. Users or user groups entitled to an operation set can perform all the operations in
the operation set. The NMS provides some default operation sets. If the default
operation sets cannot meet the requirements for right allocation, users can create
operation sets as required.
Operation System Operation System is abbreviated to OS. OS is the interface between users and
computers. It manages all the system resources of the computer, and also provides an
abstract computer for users. With the help of OS, users can use the computers without
any direct operation on hardware. For the computer system, OS is a set of programs
used to manage all system resources; for users, OS provides a simple and abstract
method to use the system resources.

Redundant Arrays of A data storage scheme that allows data to be stored and replicated in a hardware disk
Independent Disks group (logical hard disk) consisting of multiple hard disks (physical hard disks). When
multiple physical disks are set up to use the RAID technique, they are said to be in a
RAID array. The hard disks in a RAID array provides higher data reliability and input/
output performance. There are various defined levels of RAID, each offering differing
trade-offs among access speed, reliability, and cost. At present, there are seven basic
RAID levels from RAID 0 to RAID 6. These basic RAID levels can be further
combined to form new RAID levels, such as RAID 10 (a combination of RAID 0 and
RAID 1).
Remote Authentication RADIUS was originally used to manage the scattered users who use the serial
