LMT Processes

The LMT and the OMU work in C/S mode. The LMT, serving as the client, provides an OM interface.
The LMT provides various GUIs for operations. You can perform ME management and maintenance
operations through the GUIs. The LMT provides the following functions in Table 1.

Table 1 LMT Processes Function description

Function Name Function Description

MML command The LMT provides a graphical MML command interface. To perform configuration
and maintenance operation on an ME, you can enter MML commands and
parameters on the MML command interface of the ME to send them to the OMU. If
you log in to the LMT in offline mode, you can run MML commands on the LMT to
edit MML batch processing files.

Device panel The device panel provides three functions: device management, board installation,
and module management. Generally, the device panel is used during routine
maintenance. It enables you to check the system running status, board running
status, and process running status on the interface of the client, instead of observing
the actual device.

Alarm The alarm subsystem of the LMT displays clear and correct alarm information in real
management time. You can query, browse, and manage alarms through the LMT alarm system.
Alarm information includes alarm names, alarm generation and recovery time, alarm
severity, fault location information, and alarm recovery suggestions.

Tracing This function enables the LMT to provide the following functions for fault analysis
management and location: signaling tracing, interface tracing, subscriber tracing, and message
interpretation. You can use these functions to trace the call connection processes,
status transition, resource utilization, number sending, control message streams of
terminals, trunk circuits, signaling links, and interface protocols in real time. The
tracing information can be retained for future reference.

Monitoring This function enables the LMT to display the CPU usage, memory usage, disk
management usage, and traffic through the port. This function also enables the LMT to monitor
the status of the OMU server. In addition, this function moves files from a specified
memory to the OMU.

FTP Through FTP, files can be transmitted between the LMT and the OMU server, such
as software packages, license files, and the running logs of the OMU and host. The
FTP transmission complies with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Table 1 LMT Processes Function description

Function Name Function Description

SOL Serial Over LAN (SOL) is used to redirect the serial port on a board by using
the BMC so that the serial port messages can be transmitted over IP. SOL is
applicable to the maintenance of X86, MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) and
switch boards. SOL supports operations such as copying, pasting, and automatically
saving information and scrolling the screen to view information. It does not support
graphical output.

Telnet The Telnet function of the LMT enables you to connect to the Telnet server to
perform maintenance and management operations. For example, you can connect
to the Telnet server to operate the LAN switch.

PuTTY By logging in to the PuTTY, you can log in to the Linux OS on a board and run shell
commands to perform maintenance on the board, such as starting OMU services.

Alarm box tool The alarm box tool receives alarm information from the OMU, converts the alarm
information, and then sends the converted alarm information to the alarm box
through the serial port. After receiving the alarm information, the alarm box
generates audible and visual alarms.

Tracing reviewer The tracing reviewer enables you to browse messages in a signaling message
tracing file. Through the tracing reviewer, you can query and analyze a message
tracing file. The file name extension of the message tracing file is .ptmf or .tmf.
The tracing reviewer enables you to resolve certain files whose file name extension
is .tmf and all files whose file name extension is .ptmf. The file name extension of
files for Union subscriber trace tasks is .tmf. However, these files cannot be
resolved by using the tracing reviewer. You can resolve the files by using the OSS.

PTMF2CAP tool The PTMF2CAP tool is used to convert the format of IP address tracing results. The
tool provides the following functions:
Convert one or more files from the .ptmf format to the .capfile.
Combine and convert multiple .ptmf or .cap files into one .cap file.
Combine and convert multiple .ptmf and .cap files into one .cap file.

Log information The log information collection tool on the LMT is an activity performed to collect the
collection tool on information about a faulty device for troubleshooting.

Table 1 LMT Processes Function description

Function Name Function Description

LMT upgrade If the LMT connects to the OMU, and if the LMT detects that the version of
the LMT is inconsistent with that of the OMU, the LMTautomatically downloads the
correct LMT installation program from the OMU to the PC. After the LMT is
upgraded successfully, the system automatically restarts the LMT.

Networking

Figure 1 shows the position of the OMU in the network architecture. The OMU connects to the LMT and
OSS through the maintenance network port. The OMU connects to MEs through the internal network.
One OMU can manage multiple MEs and provide uniform OM ports for the MEs.
Figure 1 Position of the OMU in the network

IP Addresses of the Host


The internal network has Base and Fabric planes. Each plane contains two network ports. The four
network ports are represented by Base1, Base2, Fabric1, and Fabric2. The IP addresses of the network
ports are in the following network segments respectively: 172.16.x.x, 172.17.x.x, 172.18.x.x, and
172.19.x.x. The IP addresses of the network ports are determined by the subrack numbers and slot
numbers of the boards that house the network ports. For example, the IP address of the Base1 network
port is 172.16.(128 + subrack number).(slot number x 8). The IP addresses of other network ports can be
determined from this example. For example, for the board in slot 4 of subrack 0, the IP addresses of the
Base1, Base2, Fabric1, and Fabric2 network ports are 172.16.128.32, 172.17.128.32, 172.18.128.32, and
172.19.128.32 respectively. The subnet masks of the IP addresses of the four network ports are
255.255.0.0. The OMU uses only the Base1 and Base2 network ports to communicate with service
boards even though Fabric ports can be used for communication. The OMU manages the SWU board
using the Fabric plane.
IP Addresses of the OMU
The OMU board binds the preceding four IP addresses and the following IP addresses:
Floating IP addresses of the internal network: Floating IP addresses can be bound only to the active
OMU board. The host connects to the OMU board using the floating IP addresses of the internal
network, that is, 172.16.128.1, 172.16.128.2, 172.17.128.1, and 172.17.128.2, 172.18.128.1, and
172.19.128.1.
Floating IP addresses of the external network: The LMT uses the floating IP address of the external
network to connect to the OMU board. There is only one floating IP address of the external network,
which is planned by the carrier.
Physical IP address of the external network: The physical IP address of the external network is
optional, and it does not vary with the OMU switchover. You can use this IP address to connect the
standby OMU board.
IP Addresses of the LMT
You must connect the PC that hosts the local maintenance terminal (LMT) to the maintenance network
port. After you configure the floating IP address of the external network on the LMT, the LMT can
communicate with the OMU.
OMU Software Structure
The OMU software runs on the Linux operating system (OS) above the ATCA hardware platform requires
a database. The OMU communicates with the host through IP buses in ATCA subracks. The OMU
communicates externally through the LMT and WebUI. The LMT runs on the Microsoft Windows OS and
uses the OMU maintenance IP address to communicate with the OMU. The WebUI also uses the OMU
maintenance IP address to communicate with the OMU. After you enter the OMU maintenance IP
address in the address box of Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can log in to the WebUI and view
performance measurements and upgrade the system. Figure 1 shows the software structure.
Figure 1 Software structure

The software includes the host software marked in gray in Figure 1 and the background software marked
in yellow in Figure 1. The software is detailed in Table 1. The version information is included in the CDs

OMU
This section describes the functions, networking, components, and features of the operation and
maintenance unit (OMU).
The OMU runs on the OMU board. The OMU provides an MML interface to manage and maintain the
system. For example, the OMUprovides the management and maintenance of data required for system
operation, performance measurement data, and alarm information. The OMU provides a set of operation
and maintenance (OM) functions and tools to help ensure uninterrupted system operation, lower
operating costs, and improve Quality of Service (QoS).
The OMU provides the following features:
Supporting HA
The OMU works in active/standby mode. It provides multiple levels of self-monitoring functions.
Using HA facilitates data backup and restoration and helps to maintain data security.
Client/server (C/S) mode
The OMU integrates the communication server with the database server. The OMU performs OM
tasks in C/S mode and supports simultaneous local or remote data configuration.
Human-machine interface
The OMU provides the ITU-T standard-compliant MML interface, visual graphical user interface
(GUI), and WebUI. The MML interface is used for data configuration and OM on the CGP. You can
use the GUI to help manage alarm information, trace messages, and interfaces, and observe device
operation status. The WebUI is used for performance measurement and system upgrade. In
addition, the WebUI implements the functions of the keyboard, video, and mouse switch (KVMS).
Extensibility
The OMU supports uniform management on multiple management elements (MEs), various
operating systems and databases, and various standard interfaces such as SNMP and SOAP.
The OMU is a distributed system that is developed on the basis of an object model.

The simplified panel is described as follows:


As shown in Figure 2 (refer to 1) indicates the temperature of a subrack. The temperature value
depends on the temperature of the environment where the subrack resides and the operating
conditions of fans in the subrack. Figure 2 (refer to 1) indicates that the current temperature is
25C/77F. If the temperature is out of the normal range, the OMU reports ALM-3094 and ALM-
3095. For how to clear the alarms, see the corresponding handling procedures of ALM-3094 Fan

Double-click a rack node. If the boards in other racks are faulty (the boards on the device panel
are displayed in red), a scroll bar indicating the information about the faulty boards is displayed
under the simplified panel, as shown in Figure 2 (refer to 4). The scroll bar contains the information
such as subrack number, slot number, location, and application type (software view of the
simplified panel)/physical type (hardware view of the simplified panel) of a board. If a board, for
example, the back board USI0, does not have the application type, the scroll bar then displays the
physical type of the board. If there are multiple fault information records, the scroll bar separates
each record with space and displays the records in one line. For example, the first fault
information SRN=0,SN=15,LN=FRONT-SMU/SMM in Figure 2 indicates that the SMMboard in slot
15 of subrack 0 is faulty.

Reset Subrack (RST SUBRACK)

NOTICE:
This command will affect all services in the subrack. Exercise caution when deciding to run this
command.
RST SUBRACK is used to reset all front boards and TDM daughter boards in a specified subrack.
To improve the work efficiency, you can use this command to reset all front boards and TDM daughter
boards in a specific subrack in the following scenarios:
During initial deployment, capacity expansion, or version upgrade, you load the host software of a
new version to all the boards in a specified subrack.
During initial deployment, capacity expansion, or version upgrade, you modify parameters of the
operating system (for example, to modify the maximum tuple number) in a specified subrack.
After OMU restoration installation, you load the host software of the restored version to all the
boards in a specified subrack.
Note
This command is not used to reset the switch boards and the boards housing the OMU.
This command supports PFIA0, PFIB0, QXIA0, and QXIB0 board resetting when the entire subrack
is reset.
If a cross-subrack module (active module and standby module are not in the same subrack) is
present on a board in the subrack, ensure that the RMU module in basic subrack (subrack 0) runs
normally. Otherwise, the active/standby module cannot be confirmed by the RMU module.
If you reset the basic subrack (subrack 0), service failure in the entire office may occur.
If you reset the expansion subrack, service failure in the partial or entire office may occur.
This command supports role-based and domain-based management. You can run RST
SUBRACKonly when you have the operation right on the subrack.
To ensure secure and stable operation of the system, run RST SUBRACK during light-traffic hours
(for example, between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.) unless in emergency.
Power Off Subrack (POF SUBRACK)
NOTICE:
This command will power off boards except for switch boards and SMM boards. Services in the specified
subrack will be terminated. Consult Huawei technical support engineers before running this command.
You can use this command to power off the subrack in the following scenarios:
To improve work efficiency, a new version of the host software must be loaded to all boards on a
subrack during a deployment, capacity expansion or upgrade process, you can use this command
and then use PON SUBRACK to power on the subrack.
To improve work efficiency, operating system parameter (like a maximum tuple number) in a
specified subrack must be modified during deployment, capacity expansion, or upgrade.
Note
If a cross-subrack module (active module and standby module are not in the same subrack) is
present on a board in the subrack, ensure that the RMU module of basic subrack (subrack 0) runs
normally, otherwise, the active/standby module cannot be confirmed by the RMU module.
If you power off the basic subrack (subrack 0), service failure in the entire office may occur.
If you power off the expansion subrack, service failure in the partial or entire office may occur.
To power off a subrack, the boards of the subrack will be powered off. The state of the boards
changes and stays in the power-off state eventually.
You can run this command to power off the subrack in which OMU boards are configured. After the
OMU board is powered off, the OMU client may not be able to connect to the OMU, and operations
may time out. If the OMU operates in active/standby mode and the active and standby OMU boards
are located in different subracks, you can use the currently active OMU board to power on the OMU
board which has been powered off. If the two OMU boards are located in the same subrack or the
OMU operates in standalone mode, you must remove and then insert the OMU board to power it on.
This command supports role-based and domain-based management. You can run POF
SUBRACK only when you have management rights on the subrack.
To ensure secure and stable operation of the system, run POF SUBRACK during light-traffic hours

PON SUBRACK is used to power on a subrack.
You can use this command to power on the subrack that has been powered off by running POF
SUBRACK or the board that has been powered off by running POF BRD.
Note
This command is not used to power on switch boards or SMM boards that are located in the same
subrack as boards to be powered on.
To power on a subrack, the boards of the subrack will be powered on. The state of the boards
changes and stays in the power-on state eventually.
If no active and standby OMU board relationship is configured or the active and standby boards are
located in the same subrack (being powered off), you can power on an OMU board only by removing
and then reinserting the board.
This command supports role-based and domain-based management. You can run PON
SUBRACK only when you have management rights to power on subracks.

Function

DSP SYSRES is used to query the usage of system resources, such as the disk, and CPU of the board,
the memory, message packets, queues, timers, and file handles of the module, which reflects the
performance of the system. You can run this command to query the usage of different resources of a
board or a specific module.
Note

Running the DSP SYSRES command consumes CPU resources. The amount of consumed CPU
resources is proportional to the number of system resources you attempt to query. Therefore, to
avoid consuming a large amount of CPU resources, you are advised to specify Subrack
numberand Slot number to restrict the query scope. Generally, do not specify
only Board/Module for running this command.
In addition, partial board memory resources are used by the file system, and the information about
these resources is displayed in the query result of board disk resources.

List Version Information (LST VERINFO)

Function

LST VERINFO is used to query the version configuration information imported to the OMU between the
service MEs and the modules of the service MEs.
Run this command when you want to obtain the mapping information about the ME versions that have
been configured on the OMU.
Note

To query the version configuration information between all the service MEs and the modules of the
service MEs, do not specify the ME type parameter.
To query the version configuration information between the service MEs and the modules of the
service MEs managed by the CGP of all versions or the current version, specify the Version
typeparameter. If Version type is left unspecified or is set to Current version, the system queries
the version mapping information based on the current CGP version. If a service ME version maps to
multiple CGP versions, the ME information sometimes cannot be displayed in the command output.
To solve the problem, set Version type to All version.

Display Version (DSP VER)

Function

DSP VER is used to query the version of a module of the host. If no parameter is set, the versions of all
the modules of all MEs are displayed; if certain parameters are set, the versions of the specified modules
of the specified MEs are displayed.
Note

The parameters ME ID and Module number are optional. If you specify a value for Module
number, you must also specify a value for ME ID.
The result is displayed only when the modules are operating properly. If the modules are not
operating properly, the NULL information is displayed.
By default, the version configuration information is imported automatically during the execution of
the LOD PKG command. If the version mapping between an ME and the modules of the ME is a legal
one in the system, Version consistent is displayed; otherwise, Version inconsistent is displayed.

Display Board Software (DSP BRDSFT)

Function

DSP BRDSFT is used to query the information about the software configuration of a board or the
software installed on a board.
Note

The target board must be a configured server board.


When Method is set to All, the information about the server boards that are configured but not
present will not be displayed in the command output.
For boards whose application type is listed in Application types of boards that do not support the
IMU, Installed software version is NULL and Installation check result is Consistent in the
command output because there is no IMU module running on the boards.

Display System IP Information (DSP IPINFO)

Function

DSP IPINFO is used to query system IP information, including IP address information, routing rule
information, route information, and ARP information.
Note

If no information option (IPITERM) is selected, the output contains information about all options. The
maximum number of items displayed for an option is as follows:
IP (IP address): 32
RULE (routing rule): 32
ROUTE (route information): 128
ARP (ARP information): 64
If the displayed number of items of these options reaches the maximum, you can choose this option
to query all its data.
If a particular information option is selected, the output contains all information only about that
option. The maximum number of items displayed for an option is as follows:
IP (IP address): 256
RULE (routing rule): 256

offset value is 60 minutes.

Current time of system = 2009-12-30 00:31:07+00:00: The OMU time is


September, 30th, 2009 and DST is not observed.
List Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time (LST
TZ)

Display OMU (DSP OMU)

Function

DSP OMU is used to query the status and resource information about the OMU.

Note

In HA mode, if the standby OMU state is Unknown or Breakdown, the


displayed Subrack number, Slot number, and Start run time of the standby OMU are
invalid.

It takes a long time to query the status of all resources. Therefore, the status of the
resources displayed is that saved during resource monitoring, which may be different
from the actual resource status.

Swap OMU (SWP OMU)

Function

NOTICE:

Running of this command will cause interruption of operation & maintenance (O&M) for 30
seconds. Therefore, exercise caution when deciding to run this command.

SWP OMU is used to swap the OMUs in high availability (HA) mode
During parts replacement, upgrade, or patching, you can use this command to swap
the OMUprocesses. After the active OMU switches to the standby state, you can replace the
board or other parts on the board without interrupting the services.
Note

During the swap, the OMU services are unavailable. In normal cases, the swap process
takes about 30 seconds.

The SWP OMU command is applicable only to the HA system. A non-HA system does
not support swap. You can run DSP OMU to check whether the OMU works in HA
mode.

After running SWP OMU, you can run DSP OMU to query the
current active/standby state of the OMUs to determine whether the swap is successful.

Reset OMU (RST OMU)

Function

NOTICE:

Running of this command may cause temporary service interruption in the O&M system.
Therefore, exercise caution when deciding to run this command.

RST OMU is used to reset OMU modules.


You can use this command to perform the following operations:

Enable the modification of the system configuration to take effect.

Restore the error information that cannot be restored through switchovers, such as
records of abnormal resources.

Reset an OMU module, which minimizes the impact on the whole OMU.

Note

All modules of the OMU will be reset if the OMU module name is not specified.

Services provided by the OMU cannot be used during the reset of all OMU modules.
Therefore, the active services will be interrupted. Run this command carefully. In normal
conditions, the reset takes about 1 minute.

After all modules of the OMU reset, the error records of the OMU resources are deleted.
In High Availability (HA) mode, the active/standby status is the same as that before the
reset of all modules of the OMU. If modules of the OMU are abnormal during the reset,
an active/standby switchover may be triggered. In this case, the active/standby status is
different from that before the reset, and the OMU reset may take a long time.

In HA mode, the active and standby OMUs will be reset if all modules of the OMU are
reset. If communication between the active and the standby OMUs fails, the standby
OMU cannot be reset.

When an OMU module is reset, this command execution only takes effect on the active
OMU modules.

When an OMU module is reset, other modules depending on it are also reset. Currently,
when the SECURITY module is reset, the MMLSERVER module is also reset.

Clear Resource Activation Failure Flag (CLR


FAILFLG)

Function

CLR FAILFLG is used to clear the flag of a failure in activating resources on the OMU when
the OMU works in high availability (HA) mode.
After ALM-8600 Abnormal OMU Resources is cleared, you can use this command to clear
the flag of the failure in activating resources on the OMU according to the alarm help.

Note

Before running CLR FAILFLG, view ALM-8600 Abnormal OMU Resources by using the
alarm browser of the client and clear the alarm according to the alarm help. After the
alarm is cleared, run this command.

If a certain resource on the active OMU is abnormal, an active/standby switchover may


occur immediately after CLR FAILFLG is executed.

CLR FAILFLG applies only when the OMU works in HA mode. You can run DSP OMU to
check whether the OMU works in HA mode.
List Sync Status (LST SYNC)

Function

LST SYNC is used to query the synchronization status of the active and standby OMUs that
work in HA mode. After the command is executed successfully, the system displays the
synchronization subject (files or database) and the synchronization progress, the files that
fail to be backed up, and the connection status of the database data synchronization
resource, namely, DBHA.
The command output contains the following information:

Active/standby OMU synchronization progress

Database DBHA status

Logs never rebuild

Logs failed to rebuild

Active/standby OMU synchronization progress and Database DBHA status are displayed
unconditionally. Logs never rebuild and Logs failed to rebuild are displayed based on the
actual conditions of the current environment.

Run Failed Sync Logs (RUN FAILS)

Function

RUN FAILS is used to resynchronize the files that are not synchronized or fail to be
synchronized with the standby OMU based on the error logs.
You can use this command to resynchronize files that fail to be synchronized.

Note

Before running this command, run LST SYNC to query the names of files that fail to be
synchronized. If all the files are synchronized successfully, you do not need to run this
command.
Reset Sync (RST SYNC)

Function

RST SYNC is used to re-initialize the synchronization data. After the command is executed
successfully, all the data on the active OMU is synchronized with the standby OMU.
You can use this command to perform an immediate data synchronization between the
active and standby OMUs.

Note

After the command is executed successfully, the files and database in the installation
directory of the active OMU are synchronized with the standby OMU. In addition, the
error logs on the standby OMU are deleted.

During the initialization of the synchronization data, the system compares and
synchronizes the data between the active and the standby OMUs. Therefore, a large
number of system resources are occupied. You are advised to run this command when
the traffic is light.

List Alarm Configuration (LST ALMCFG)

Function

LST ALMCFG is used to query the alarm configuration.

List Event Logs (LST EVTLOG)

Function

LST EVTLOG is used to query the logs on an event.

To query the brief information about all events, do not specify any parameter.

To query the detailed information about specific events, specify Start event ID and End
event ID, or other parameter combinations.
OMU HA

Term Explanation

The OMU provides multiple operation modes to adapt to different scenarios.


Single mode: Only one OMU provides services. There is no redundant device. The
reliability is low.
Non-disk-array HA mode: Two OMUs are used, one of which serves as a redundant
OMU. The two OMUs use a floating IP address for external communication. The
reliability is high. The databases and log files on the active and standby OMUs are used
to ensure data redundancy. Therefore, the cost of this OMU HA mode is low.
You can determine the operation mode when installing the OMU. The HA mode provides the
high availability of the OMU. Figure 1shows the typical networking where the OMUs adopt
the HA mode. The active and standby OMUs communicate with external entities such as the
LMT and the OSS through the floating IP address configured for the BACK port. The active
and standby OMUs are connected to the platform process and the service ME process
through the floating IP address configured for the BASE port.
Figure 1 Typical networking where the OMUs adopt the HA mode (double-LAN switch mode,
which is used currently).

The system provides query and maintenance commands that are used to manage and
maintain OMUs. Some commands are applicable only to the HA mode. For details, refer to
the command description.
