  • IPv6 address supportTivoli Netcool Performance Manager 1.3.1 or later includes support for IPv6addresses.

    The following technology packs are verified to be either neutral or support (see thefollowing note) IPv6 addresses:v Accedian Metro Ethernetv ADVA Optical Metro Ethernetv Alcatel-Lucent 5670 RAMv Alcatel-Lucent 5529 SDCv Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAMv Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFilev Arris CMTS DOCSISv Cisco CBQoSv Cisco CMTS DOCSISv Cisco Devicev Cisco IP SLAv Cisco IP SLA Ethernetv Huawei SNMP CBQOSv Huawei SNMP Devicev Huawei SNMP NQAv Huawei U2000v Huawei U2000 DSLAMv GenBand C20 Converged IP Softswitchv Juniper M/T Series Chassisv Juniper M/T Series QoSv Juniper RSVP Tunnelv MIB-IIv NetFlow IPFIXv NSN Carrier Ethernet Switchv UBA PVLine Format

    MIBs are often supported by a range of devices. Only some of these devicessupport IPv6. IBM cannot specify compliance for each device. Compliance of eachdevice must be verified with the technology vendor. MIB neutrality means that theMIB does not contain IPv6 addresses.

    Note: For Accedian Metro Ethernet and ADVA Optical Metro Ethernet technologypacks, the technology vendor for these packs do not support IPv6 because thesepacks do not use an IP address and are neutral.

    The following technology packs do not support IPv6:v Juniper MPLSv Proviso Monitoringv Cisco Class-Based QoS

    2 IBM Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager: Pack Release Notes

  • Functional changes to technology packsA brief description of functional changes to technology packs in this release.

    Alcatel-Lucent 5670 RAM 2.5.0.0 Technology PackThe Alcatel-Lucent 5670 Reporting and Analysis Manager (RAM) 2.5.0.0 providesapplication aware reporting. The Alcatel-Lucent 5670 RAM 2.5.0.0 Technology Packprovides Communication Service Providers (CSP) intelligence required for detailedunderstanding of IP traffic flow and triple play subscriber usage trends.

    The SDC supports two types of metric collection; bulk collection and on-demanddetails collection. Bulk collection is the long term, periodic collection ofperformance data. Details collection is for short term and ad-hoc collection of highresolution data. This pack is only concerned with bulk collection. The SDC isconfigured with a Collection Strategy that specifies which parameters to collectand how often. The collection strategy must be configured by the customer via theSDCs web interface. The collection strategy has to specify the parameters used bythis Technology Pack.

    Alcatel-Lucent 5529 SDC Technology Pack supports iSAM and iSAMIHUB familiesand supports ALU 5529 SDC v-R8.2.

    Functional changes in this technology pack are as follows:v Technology pack is enabled for common reporting on IBM Cognos 10.

    Arris CMTS DOCSIS 3.0 2.4.0.0The Arris CMTS DOCSIS 3.0 Technology Pack supports the Arris CMTS devicetechnology, which is an industry-leading high-performance carrier-class CMTS foradvanced IP services. It allows cable operators and multiple system operators(MSOs) to provide advanced voice, data and multimedia services over a convergedIP network to residential and business subscribers. This release of technology packintroduces a features called Composite Sub-Element (CSE).

    Functional changes in this technology pack are as follows:v Technology pack is enabled for common reporting on IBM Cognos 10.

    Juniper Realtime Performance Monitor (RPM) 2.3.0.0 TechnologyPackJuniper RPM TP supplies a set of reports suitable for displaying information aboutthe devices and activity associated with the Juniper RPM environment. Reportscontain metrics that are generated by the formulas that this application packprovides. Metric names are the same as the names of the formulas that generatethem. RPM is a service available in Junos OS that enables a router to measuremetrics such as round-trip delays and unanswered echo requests. To achieve this,RPM exchanges a set of probes with other IP hosts in the network for monitoringand network tracking purposes. These probes are sent from a source node to otherdestination devices in the network that require tracking.

    Data such as transit delay and jitter can be collected from these probes, and thisdata can be used to provide an approximation of the delay and jitter experiencedby live traffic in the network. Different live traffic metrics like round-trip time(RTT), positive egress jitter, negative egress jitter, positive ingress jitter, negativeingress jitter, positive round-trip jitter, and negative round-trip jitter can be gleanedfrom the results. RPM calculates minimum, maximum, average, peak-to-peak,standard deviation, and sum calculations for each of these measurements.v

    Release summary 3

  • Functional changes in this technology pack are as follows:v Technology pack is enabled for common reporting on IBM Cognos 10.

    6 IBM Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager: Pack Release Notes

  • Installation and configuration notes for technology packsRead these important notes before installing and configuring a technology pack.

    Minimum required version of Technology Pack InstallerFor Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager installations that are upgraded to TivoliNetcool Performance Manager 1.4, you must use the Technology Pack Installerversion 3.5.0.0 to install technology packs.

    To determine the version of the Technology Pack Installer, run the followingcommand:$ java -jar ProvisoPackInstaller.jar -version

    Note: The latest Technology Pack Installer (ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file) versionis 3.5.0.0. It works on both Oracle and IBM DB2.

    Minimum Java requirementsUse this information to install the technology packs in this release successfully, youmust use the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

    Operating System Minimum software requirements

    AIX IBM 32-bit JRE for AIX, Java 2 TechnologyEdition, Version 5.0, Service Refresh 6

    Linux IBM 32-bit JRE for Linux, Java 2 TechnologyEdition, Version 5.0, Service Refresh 6

    Solaris 9 IBM 32-bit JRE for Solaris, Java 2 TechnologyEdition, Version 5.0, Service Refresh 6 SolarisPatch 112874-45: libc patch, which isincluded in the several Solaris patchesrequired by Tivoli Netcool PerformanceManager

    Solaris 10 IBM 32-bit JRE for Solaris, Java 2 TechnologyEdition, Version 5.0, Service Refresh 6

    In Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager, thecorrect Java version is installed with the Topology Editor in the following defaultlocation:/opt/IBM/proviso/jvm/jre/bin

    For more information, see Configuration Recommendations.

    Topology Editor JVM must be started by the correct userIn Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager, theTopology Editor uses its own Java virtual machine (JVM) to run.

    When you install the Topology Editor, this JVM is installed under the TopologyEditor installation directory. However, when the Topology Editor extracts theconfiguration metadata files (XSD files) from a UBA technology pack JAR file, itissues an external command. This external command inherits all the properties ofthe shell from which the Topology Editor was started. Therefore, if the TopologyEditor is started by a user who has the Java path included in the PATHenvironment variable, the external command works correctly. Otherwise, thecommand fails.

    Release summary 7

  • Launchpad JVM versionFor 4.3-X and later technology packs, the launchpad requires you to enter the pathto supported Java runtime binaries.

    Only IBM JRE 5.0 SR 6 or later is supported. The Tivoli Netcool PerformanceManager Topology Editor provides a supported version of the Java binaries.

    Note: If you try to use the Technology Pack Installer to install a technology packon any version of Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager that is running with Java1.4, the installation fails with an error message.

    UBA pack XSD file inside a JAR file cannot be loaded into theTopology EditorIn Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager, youcannot load an XSD file from the pack stand-alone JAR file into the TopologyEditor.

    Choose the workaround that is most suitable for your site from the following twooptions:v Manually extract the XSD file from the pack stand-alone JAR file, and then load

    it into the Topology Editor. Typically, the pack XSD file is located in thefollowing directory in the stand-alone JAR file:APFiles\pack_name\topologyeditorThe name of the XSD file is . For example:APFiles\cisco_wan_mgr\topologyeditor\cisco_wan_mgr.xsd

    v Install the 4.4.3.0-TIV-PROV-IF0009 Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager coreinterim fix. This patch enables you to load an XSD file from the packstand-alone JAR file into the Topology Editor.

    For more information about interim fixes, fix packs, and the location for obtainingthe fixes, see Interim fixes and fix packs on page 40.

    Bundled UBA technology pack XSD filesIn Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager, if you tryto load a single UBA technology pack from the bundled JAR file, the TopologyEditor erroneously loads all the XSD files contained in the bundled JAR file.

    To workaround this problem, follow these tasks:1. After you import all the UBA technology packs from the bundled JAR file,

    close the Topology Editor.2. Go to the metadata/appPacks directory under the Topology Editor installation

    directory.3. Delete all the XSD files for the UBA technology packs you do not want to be

    available for deployment. The names of UBA technology pack XSD files aretypically based on the name of the pack. For example,acme_packet_sbc_hdr.xsd is the name of the XSD file for the Acme PacketSBC/HDR Technology Pack.

    4. Open the Topology Editor again.

    PROVISO_JAVA environment variable for all bundled technologypacksIf you try to install a 4.3-Y or later bundled technology pack, the Technology PackInstaller looks for the PROVISO_JAVA environment variable.

    8 IBM Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager: Pack Release Notes

  • The PROVISO_JAVA environment variable should point to the directory thatcontains the approved IBM version of JRE 5.0. For example:

    PROVISO_JAVA==/opt/IBM/proviso/jvm/jre/bin

    If the PROVISO_JAVA environment variable is not set, the Technology PackInstaller attempts to use the default system Java and might cause an issue wheninstalling bundled packs. You receive an error message in the installer log file thatappears as below:INFO [ToolKitData.getJavaPath] No JRE specified. To specify a JRE,use environment variable "PROVISO_JAVA"

    Downloading a technology pack JAR file in the backgroundIn Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager, if youdownload a pack JAR file in the background while the Topology Editor window isopen, this JAR file is not displayed in the list of available packs.

    Procedure

    To correct this issue close and reopen the Topology Editor window to refresh thelist of available packs.

    Location of bulk input filesThe UBA expects that the bulk input files associated with a specific device aregenerated on the server on which the device operates.

    The best practice for specifying the locations of these bulk input files is as follows:v Specify a directory on the server to store the in-process bulk input files.

    The in-process bulk input files refer to files that are still open for writing by thedevice or script generating them. Problems can occur when the UBA attempts todownload in-process bulk input files. It is recommended that the device or scriptcreate a directory. For example, /opt/uba/inprocessbulkinputfiles in which tostore the in-process bulk input files.

    v Specify a directory on the server to store the completed bulk input files.The completed bulk input files refer to files that are closed for writing by thedevice or script generating them. These bulk input files are the files that theUBA must download and process. In Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 or TivoliNetcool Performance Manager, you specify the directory for the completed bulkinput files by using the Topology Editor to modify the following pack-specificUBA parameters: INPUT_USE_SECURE_FTP INPUT_FTP_HOST INPUT_FTP_USERNAME INPUT_FTP_PASSWORD INPUT_DIRECTORY

    This is the parameter where you specify the directory (for example,/opt/uba/completedbulkinputfiles) that contains the completed bulk inputfiles. The script that generates the bulk input files can move the completedfiles automatically through a file system hard link to the directory specified inINPUT_DIRECTORY.

    Install the DataView Navigator Reporter Set Wizard templatesBefore using the DataView Reporter Set Wizard, you must install the DataViewNavigator Reporter Set Wizard templates, which are provided in the Tivoli NetcoolPerformance Manager technology pack distribution.
