• 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.
Distributed Install
• Users will now be able to complete distributed, multi-platform remote
installations of all core SPECTRUM components and patches via
command-line configuration files and utilities from a single host
system.
Event and Alarm Management
• AlarmNotifier was enhanced to provide flexibility in determining the
events to be viewed for each alarm. Users can now choose to show all
events or view a summary of events where duplicates have been
removed.
• Error checking and messaging in AlarmNotifier was enhanced to
provide better, more meaningful error messages when errors occur
within EventFormat files.
• Read-only users are now able to acknowledge alarms if the “Alarm
Update by Read Only” attribute is set to true on the AlarmMgmt model.
• When retrieving alarms using AlarmNotifier, if a DLCI ports goes down,
the IP address for the logical DLCI port will now be displayed instead of
the primary IP address of the device.
• The Clear User Preferences menu pick will now be disabled for Read-
Only users.
