Overview A copy of the SPECTRUM Software Release Notice (SSRN) is included on both the SPECTRUM Application CD Version 6.6 with Service Pack 2 and the SPECTRUM Documentation CD Version 6.6 with Service Pack 2; it is also available online at http://www.aprisma.com/manuals. The SSRN is intended to alert users to special considerations for upgrades, product enhancements or changes, late-breaking information, and corrected and known anomalies.
Upgrade Considerations This section identifies product changes that should be considered when upgrading from prior releases. Some of these changes may require modifications to existing SPECTRUM customizations and integrations. • The version of Service Performance Manager (Web Operator component) in this release is not compatible with SpectroSERVERs at a version prior to 6.6.0 SP1.
• The AutoDiscovery application database, which stores configurations and result sets, has been re-implemented. The first time Auto Discovery is run after installing any Service Pack on SPECTRUM 6.6, the pre-existing database will be automatically converted to the new implementation, preserving any pre-existing data. As an added precaution, the installation will copy the entire pre-existing SPECROOT/ AutoDiscover directory to SPECROOT/AutoDiscover.backup.
SPECTRUM 6.6 Feature List This section describes new features included in SPECTRUM Version 6.6. Additional enhancements are included in this Service Pack 2 CD release. Those additional enhancements are discussed in the respective Software Release Notes for the Web downloadable versions of 6.6 Service Packs 1 and 2, which can be accessed at: http:// www.aprisma.com/support/secure/download/ index.cgi?rev=06.06.00 AutoDiscovery One of the many goals for SPECTRUM 6.
• Reduction in Model Count and Memory Usage: Model count and memory usage were reduced by no longer automatically discovering/ modeling unnecessary EthernetIfApp application models. These may still be generated, if needed, by initiating a manual application rediscovery from a device’s configuration view. Accuracy • Fanout models: Additional intelligence has been added to review fanout placement. Previous releases of SPECTRUM would place a fanout between devices when the connecting device was unmanaged.
• Universe settings: Changes have been made to the default universe settings to provide a cleaner modeling presentation. New Defaults: 1) Create routers in this view only 2) Place LANs in this view only 3) Create LANs. • Loopback and Duplicate IP support: A change was made in SPECTRUM to allow models to exist that have duplicate IP addresses. Some networking technologies such as load balancers create identical IP addresses across a range of devices.
• Database check and backup will now occur prior to completing AutoDiscovery. The check provides the user with a warning if their database is corrupt prior to starting AutoDiscovery and allows them to restore a non-corrupt database. The backup then ensures they have a clean backup available moving forward if there is a problem that occurs during the discovery.
Maintenance Mode • Users can now enable maintenance mode for individual interfaces/ports of a device. Interfaces/ports in maintenance mode behave in the same manner as devices in maintenance mode. No alarms or events will be asserted on the interface/port while in maintenance mode. SPECTRUM will send no SNMP or ICMP communications to the interface/ports while in maintenance mode.
New Management Modules • Nortel Contivity MM: This MM delivers support for Nortel’s Contivity family of VPN switches and provides IP Fault Management visibility. The MM provides support for many RFCs including, but not limited to RFC2737 (Entity MIB), RFC2787 (VRRP MIB), RFC2790 (Host Resources MIB), RFC1850 (OSPF MIB), and RFC1724 (RIP2 MIB). Given the VPN focus of this family of devices, of particular interest is RFC2667 (IP Tunnel MIB).
• Cisco CallManager MM: This MM delivers support for Cisco’s CallManager. The MM provides support for the Cisco CallManager (CCM) MIB. Supported MIB groups include the “ccmTable” (CallManager) MIB group, “ccmGatewayTable” group and the “ccmGatewayTrunkTable” group. These tables provide the user insight into the health of the CallManager as well as information on the gateway connected to the CallManager.
• RFC2667 (IP Tunnel MIB): This RFC provides information pertaining to tunnel protocols that are established over IP. It also provides the public IPs that a tunnel is established over. SPECTRUM will use the information provided on the tunnel such as remote and local IPs, type of tunnel and security, and status of the tunnel. In addition, several other enhancements were made to existing management modules.
Non-Persistent Connection Manager (NPC) • Support for Multilink PPP has been added by allowing a Dialup_Link model to be pasted on more than one interface on a single device model. When the Dialup_Link model is pasted on each of the PPP interfaces which make up the multilink, these interfaces will form a secondary group. A new Dialup_Link model attribute, DevSecGrpActiveCriteria, controls the method used to determine the state of a secondary group, and thus the secondary link.
SPECTRUM Configuration Manager • SPECTRUM Configuration Manager “save as” capabilities have been enhanced to allow the current configuration to be written to a file with the name devicename_config name.txt. This translates to easier archival of configurations. • The risk of a customer router staying in an infinite “wait” state and SPECTRUM Configuration Manager hanging has been removed.
Web Operator Suite • The amount of unused screen real estate and secondary graphics and logos has been reduced to increase the amount of useful data that can be presented on a screen. This reduces the amount of scrolling and the need for the user to “hunt” for data. • The Web Operator Suite home page has been removed and users will now be initially presented with the Alarm Manager after logging into the product. • Alarm Manager no longer refreshes automatically by default.
• If BMC PatrolView Integration is in place, visibility of parameters below applications has been enhanced by creating another link below the Application Class that displays a view for all the parameters of each class. Performance • Watch Editor performance has been increased by only displaying a subset of affected models, therefore minimizing the time users wait to retrieve their requested list of models. The number of models to display at any given time will be user-definable.
• The “Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” changes made via the Edit mode in the SpectroGRAPH are now saved to the GIB for the current view so that a restart of the SpectroGRAPH displays the desired change. • Automatic map entry timeouts have been added to allow distributed SPECTRUM component entries to age out. This benefits the performance and usability of the server selection start-up dialog of the Control Panel and other distributed applications.
Corrected Issues This section describes issues that have been corrected in SPECTRUM 6.6. Additional corrected issues are included in this Service Pack 2 CD release. Those additional corrected issues are discussed in the respective Software Release Notes for the Web downloadable versions of 6.6 Service Packs 1 and 2, which can be accessed at: http:// www.aprisma.com/support/secure/download/ index.cgi?rev=06.06.
Corrected Issues: AutoDiscovery & Modeling Item Problem Resolution 2 When completing an AutoDiscovery of 2700 routers (that were already active), AutoDiscovery hung for a few hours after printing the following message in the AutoDiscovery GUI: “Model creation finished: created 1 model”. Java exceptions were causing the GUI to hang. This was resolved by presenting the errors to the user to ensure he/she knows the exception has happened and can then make the choice to either continue or exit.
Database, Data Export, & Reports Corrected Issues: Database, Data Export, & Reports Item Problem Resolution 1 Reports: When a scheduled entry was saved and the Scheduler dialog was closed, the saved scheduled entry did not get listed when the Scheduler dialog was reopened. This was resolved by making adjustments to show the scheduled entry when the Scheduler dialog was reopened.
Event & Alarm Management Corrected Issues: Event & Alarm Management Item Problem Resolution 1 Alarm Manager: The user was seeing a memory leak when running their Corba application in 6.5.0. This was resolved by adjusting the code to remove the leak. 2 Alarm Manager: ReadOnly only users (ADMIN, 5-9 or anything, 5-9) did not have access to the information or buttons in the Location Tab within any of the PGUI applications.
Corrected Issues: Event & Alarm Management Item Problem Resolution 7 This was resolved by adjusting the file to EMS: The event format file for event 210010 enumerated the 3rd variable of show the correct information in the the event in a table. It should have been appropriate place and format. the second variable that was enumerated. There is no third varbind sent in the trap.
Installation Corrected Issues: Installation Item Problem Resolution 1 Installation crashed when the Install User Name exceeded the limit (20 characters for a username on NT, not including the domain and 64 characters for Solaris). This was resolved by increasing the maximum length allowed for User Name. 2 Patches were intermittently failing when unzipping vtapes. This was resolved by replacing gzip | newtar with a version of newtar that handles gzip compression internally.
Miscellaneous Corrected Issues: Miscellaneous Item Problem Resolution 1 Live Pipes: When the port models in the port link list node were zero, the user received “Access Denied message” in Enable Live Pipe GIB View. This was resolved by adjusting the code to skip permission checking on the model if the model handle is zero. 2 Online Backup: A user attempted to perform online backups on his Windows machine but the backup failed because the tmpdir directory was not being removed.
Management Modules Corrected Issues: Management Modules Item Problem Resolution 1 ADC Cuda: The ADC_Cuda is a Chassis based device. Each card in the Chassis has its own CPU and thus its own discreet SystemUpTime. The system was displaying the Chassis SystemUpTime for the boards rather than the correct board SystemUpTime. This was resolved by importing the mib that supports basSysUpTime into a model type adc_alias_mib that is derived off of the ADC model type.
Corrected Issues: Management Modules Item Problem Resolution 6 A Cisco_Router management module was losing some links to DLCI_Ports when the model was reconfigured. This problem occurred after migrating from SPECTRUM 5.0rev1 and was caused by the Frame Relay Internal_IF_Type attribute being set to 0 instead of 32. This was resolved by creating a new attribute that will check the value of an interface's Internal_If_Type upon SpectroSERVER startup and write the correct value if necessary.
Corrected Issues: Management Modules Item Problem Resolution 13 Host Compaq: In 6.5, the cmpq app models were deprecated and the Host_Compaq model type inherited all the device specific attributes, and new GIB views were created. The user could not find views for the cpqSePci mib information that were there in 6.0.3. The attributes were there, but the user requested new GIB views. Three new GIB views where created for cpqSePciSlotTable, cpqSePciFunctTable and cpqSePciMemoryTable.
Search Manager Corrected Issues: Search Manager Item Problem Resolution 1 While performing a custom search with Search Manager, the user found that “Polling Interval” was being displayed incorrectly. This was resolved by modifying the calculations that are performed against Polling Intervals entered by the client before displaying the value.
Corrected Issues: SpectroGRAPH Item Problem Resolution 2 More information was needed when a SpectroGRAPH received a “Permission Denied” error when it tried to connect to a SpectroSERVER. SecurityManager (SM) reads the .hostrc file after a SpectroSERVER is started or the .hostrc file is updated and tries to resolve all the host entries in .hostrc by OS Service. Sometimes the OS Service did not resolve the network address for some hostnames listed in .hostrc.
SpectroSERVER Corrected Issues: SpectroSERVER Item Problem Resolution 1 FlashGreenEnabled functionality was not This was resolved by adjusting the code working in 06.05.01. so that when FlashGreenEnabled is set to “true” and a model's alarms are cleared, the model will flash green. 2 When available threads values were changed in the VNM -> Configuration -> Thread Information view GUI, the values were written to the database but the $SPECROOT/SS/.vnmrc file was not updated.
Toolkits Corrected Issues: Toolkits Item Problem Resolution 1 If a client program sent a Corba invocation message of This was resolved by ensuring that CsRelationSrvc::testRelMTypeLi CsRelationSrvc::testRelMTypeLi st() throws a VALUE_NULL Corba exception notifying the client program st(), passing a list of CsCModelType::CsCMTypeList that that it is sending a null pointer in the list.
Known Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.6 Service Pack 2 CD Release This section identifies known anomalies for SPECTRUM and its integrated applications in SPECTRUM 6.6 Service Pack 2 CD release.
Known Anomalies: AR System Gateway Item Description Solution 4 The Remedy password for the required SPECTRUM user is stored as a standard text value in the AR System Gateway resource file (.arsgrc). This value is not encrypted and could be cause for concern with regard to security. Ensure that permissions allow only appropriate individuals access to the .arsgrc file.
Enterprise Alarm Manager (EAM) Known Anomalies: Enterprise Alarm Manager (EAM) Item Description Solution 1 Newly created alarm descriptions in SpectroWATCH do not display in the Alarm Manager if the Alarm Manager was running when the watch and its custom alarm description were created. The alarm displays without a description of the new alarm. Exit the Alarm Manager, then restart it. The new view updates to include the custom alarm description.
Level I Developer’s Toolkit Known Anomalies: Level I Developer’s Toolkit Item Description Solution 1 When you run the MTE and import a MIB There are two workarounds: with an object name longer than 30 1.
