Chapter 9. Setting up the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM servers to
support LogToFile
The SAM server administrator must set up the appropriate SAM servers
environment so that the Alcatel-Lucent SAM 5620 LogToFile Technology Pack
operates correctly.
About this task
Setting up the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM servers includes the following tasks:
Install SAM on the primary and redundant servers
The SAM server administrator must have installed SAM on primary and
redundant servers. The DataStage job accesses the SAM servers to request the
inventory and metrics.
Synchronize the clocks
Use the appropriate tool to ensure that the clocks on the SAM server and the
server on which the DataStage is installed are synchronized.
For example, make sure that the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on the server
on which DataStage is operating matches the UTC time on the server on which
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM is operating.
Install the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM Client GUI
The SAM server administrator must have installed the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM
Client GUI on some client computer or server.
During the installation, the SAM server administrator must configure the IP
addresses of the SAM primary and redundant servers.
Configure an OSS user account
The SAM server administrator uses the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM Client GUI to
configure an OSS (operational support system) user account from the client
computer or server.
This user account consists of a user name and password that allows the user to
access the SAM primary and redundant servers. This OSS user account must not
have administrative privileges. The SAM server administrator must record the user
name and password for this OSS user account and keep it in a secure place.
The IBM InfoSphere Information Server needs access to this OSS account.
