Text Conventions The following text conventions are used in this document: Element Convention Used Example User-supplied parameter names Courier and Italic in angle The user needs to type the brackets <>.
Element Convention Used Example Solaris and Windows directory paths Unless otherwise noted, directory paths are common to both operating systems, with the exception that forward slashes (/) should be used in Solaris paths, and backslashes should be used in Windows paths. <$SPECROOT>/app-defaults on Solaris is equivalent to <$SPECROOT>\app-defaults on Windows. Document Feedback Please send feedback regarding SPECTRUM documents to the following e-mail address: spectrum-docs@aprisma.
Getting Started This guide contains prerequisites, instructions, troubleshooting tips, and reference information related to SPECTRUM installation. Refer to the table below to determine where to begin the installation process and how to proceed from there. In this section: Installation Process Tasks [page 10] Installation Process Tasks The table below lists the common tasks for installing SPECTRUM. Use this as a guide for determining how to proceed for your specific installation.
System Requirements and Recommendations This section contains system requirements along with recommendations for configuring your operating environment—before you install SPECTRUM—for enhanced SPECTRUM performance and efficiency. In this section: System Requirements [page 11] Optimizing Your Operating Environment for SPECTRUM [page 12] SpectroSERVER Landscape Handle Requirements [page 14] System Requirements The following tables list the hardware and software required to run SPECTRUM.
Table 2: Windows System Requirements Component Requirement Operating System Windows NT 4.
Table 3: Recommended System Configurations One Workstation Managing Fewer Than 500 Devices/Avg.
Disk Striping and RAID For optimum performance, Aprisma recommends running SPECTRUM on systems with multiple, ultrawide, 10 K-rpm, SCSI disk drives using disk striping and/or RAID (redundant array of independent disks) technologies. Disk striping is a technique for spreading data over multiple disk drives. RAID is a disk drive system that employs two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance improvement.
WARNING! You must run the lh_set utility before you run SpectroSERVER for the first time after installation. If you run SpectroSERVER before running lh_set, SPECTRUM assigns a default landscape handle that is the same whenever and wherever it is assigned by SPECTRUM. This creates the potential for duplicate landscape handles when multiple landscapes are configured. This means that these landscapes can never be accessed simultaneously from the same SpectroGRAPH or application.
Determining and Changing Landscape Handles This section contains the procedure for changing a SPECTRUM landscape handle. You may need to complete this procedure if you are upgrading an existing SpectroSERVER database and need to change its landscape handle to meet SPECTRUM requirements Determining the Current Landscape Handle Procedure 1. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/SS 2. Run the following command: ../SS-Tools/lh_set Changing the Landscape Handle Of a SpectroSERVER Database With Existing Models Procedure 1.
<$SPECROOT>/app-defaults/Reports 3. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/app-defaults 4. Edit the SDE and Reports files where they contain entries like the following: *PreferredLandscapes : 5. Enter the value that represents the updated landscape handle.
Types of SPECTRUM Installations This section describes the types of SPECTRUM installations and the differences between them. Read these descriptions to determine which kind of installation to perform. If you have existing SPECTRUM data that you want to preserve, it is important to perform the correct type of installation.
is 5.0.1 (with CS2 and MMS2) or earlier, contact your Aprisma support or sales representative for information on upgrading. Compatibility Between SPECTRUM Releases Using new versions of SpectroGRAPH and other client applications with an older version of SpectroSERVER is not supported. You may, however, connect to a newer version of SpectroSERVER from older clients.
If you have modified any .pib files (not recommended) and want to retain the changes in the post-upgrade database, create a default.p file and add your .pib file entries before beginning the installation. For further instructions, see the SPECTRUM Extension Integration (SEI) Developer Guide (0623). If you made any changes to the resource files listed in Table 4, make a note of them, since these files are overwritten by any upgrade or patch installation.
Installing SPECTRUM Patches When necessary, Aprisma issues software updates (“patches”) to existing versions of SPECTRUM. Patches are supplied on a CD complete with the SPECTRUM installer. Use the Component Selection Screen [page 57] to view the components to be installed. Each patch release includes a software release notice that gives step-by-step installation instructions, including those for relinking SPECTRUM components.
Installing on Solaris In this section: Prerequisites (Solaris) [page 22] First-Time Installation (Solaris) [page 29] In-Place Upgrade (Solaris) [page 29] Migration and Upgrade (Solaris) [page 30] Prerequisites (Solaris) These prerequisites must be satisfied before you begin installing SPECTRUM on a Solaris system. Root Privileges You must have root privileges to perform a SPECTRUM installation on Solaris systems; therefore, before running the installation software, you must log on as root.

deprecating obsolete models and model types, see Upgrading SPECTRUM Models, Model Types, and Management Modules [page 84]. Configuring SPECTRUM CORBA Services Some SPECTRUM operations rely on CORBA agents. When these agents are started on the local network, they discover each other using UDP broadcast messages. If your SPECTRUM environment spans multiple broadcast domains, make sure the primary IP address of the host for each of these agents is available to the agents in different domains.
a. Using the Registry Editor, add the Visigenic Software Inc subkey information as indicated by bold text in Figure 1: Figure 1: Visigenic Software Inc Subkey - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Visigenic Software Inc - Visibroker - 3.0 - OSAGENT_PORT:REG_SZ:14000 - PathName:REG_SZ:<$SPECROOT>/bin/VBOA - vbc:REG_SZ: - vbj:REG_SZ: - VBROKER_ADM:REG_SZ:<$SPECROOT>/bin/VBOA b. Restart Spectrum Visibroker SmartAgent. [Solaris] 1.
Changing the OSAGENT_PORT You can configure SPECTRUM to use an osagent port (OSAGENT_PORT) other than the default of 14000. In environments where Visibroker applications in addition to SPECTRUM are used, each Visibroker application must have a unique osagent port to avoid conflicts. Additionally, to avoid conflict in a distributed SPECTRUM environment, you can define a unique OSAGENT_PORT for each distributed SpectroSERVER. Complete this procedure to change the OSAGENT_PORT. Procedure 1.
Scheduler Requirements (Windows) This section describes how to configure the Windows Scheduled Tasks service to work with the SPECTRUM Scheduler. Procedure 1. [Windows NT] Select Start > Windows NT Explorer. [Windows 2000] Select Start > Settings > Control Panel. 2. Open Scheduled Tasks. 3. Select Advanced > AT Service Account. 4. In the AT Service Account Configuration dialog box, select This Account. 5. Enter a user name (including the domain, if applicable) of a valid SPECTRUM user (e.g.
/etc/rc2.d/S97processd WARNING! These files are required for SPECTRUM operation and should not be removed. For more information about processd, see the Distributed SpectroSERVER (9032770) guide. SPECTRUM Remote Administration Daemon (SRAdmin) Files The installation adds the SPECTRUM Remote Administration daemon (SRAdmin) files required by SPECTRUM for user authentication and distributed administration: /sw/SPECTRUM/SRAdmin/sradmin.exe /etc/init.d/sradmin /etc/rc0.d/K01sradmin /etc/rc2.
Setting up Client Access Client access to SPECTRUM is controlled by the .hostrc file in your SPECTRUM installation directory. By default, this file is configured to prevent other workstations from connecting to your SpectroSERVER (or your SpectroGRAPH from connecting to a SpectroSERVER if you have installed only SpectroGRAPH). You can configure the .hostrc file from the SPECTRUM Control Panel to set up client access. Procedure 1. Start the SPECTRUM Control Panel. 2. Select Configure > Host Security. 3.
Configuring Exceed X Server for Remote Display Use this procedure to configure the Hummingbird Exceed X server for remote display: 1. Install the SPECTRUM-required version of Exceed (see Table 2 [page 12]) on the intended remote display workstation if it is not already present. 2. [If your Exceed X server is already running, disregard this step.] Using Windows Explorer, migrate to Program Files>Exceed.nt, and double-click exceed.exe to start the Exceed X server. 3.
Initiating Remote Display To initiate remote display at your Windows workstation, follow these instructions: 1. Make sure the SPECTRUM Control Panel, and any applications that you want to remotely display, are installed on the Solaris workstation and configured to support remote display. Note: SpectroGRAPH does not need to be running to initiate remote display. 2. From the Windows Start menu, click Run. The Run window displays. 3. Type: Telnet and hit Enter.
Terminating a Remote Display Session Exit all remotely displayed SPECTRUM applications properly. Then type exit at the prompt in the Telnet terminal window to end the Telnet session. Remote Display Limitations The limitations to the functionality of remote display of SPECTRUM are: • Java applications that are run from remote display sometimes display in a window that is too small for the contents. Try resizing the window. If resizing is not successful, launch the application again.
Upgrading SPECTRUM Models, Model Types, and Management Modules This section contains information about upgrading your SPECTRUM models, model types, and management modules after you install the new version of SPECTRUM. In this section: Ensuring Database Compatibility With Your Upgrade [page 85] Upgrading Model Types and Models From SPECTRUM 5.0.
Ensuring Database Compatibility With Your Upgrade To ensure compatibility between your SpectroSERVER database and your SPECTRUM upgrade, you must convert SPECTRUM models created with older model types and remove the discontinued model types after you install the new version of SPECTRUM. This procedure is not required for first-time installations. In some cases, a model type has changed based on vendor requirements.
Table 1: Upgrade Scripts, Templates, and Procedures Listed by SPECTRUM Version If you are upgrading from this SPECTRUM version: Use the following script, template or procedure: 5.0.1 6.0 6.0.1 6.0.2 MM_dep_50R1_script.pl [page 89] X Convert_to_SSX.script [page 90] X MT_del_50R1_script.pl [page 91] X Rem_EnetApp_Mdls.sh [page 92] X X X X Removing the Discontinued Model Types [page 93] X X X X host_conversion.
If You Used Model Type Editor If you used the Model Type Editor (MTE) to customize your SpectroSERVER database, make a record of all changes that you made with the MTE. Some changes made with the MTE are not preserved when the database is upgraded to a later version of SPECTRUM.

Upgrading Model Types and Models From SPECTRUM 5.0.1 This section contains the procedure for upgrading your SPECTRUM models if you are upgrading from SPECTRUM 5.0.1. Several management modules were deprecated since this SPECTRUM version. In addition, see Postinstallation Scripts and Templates [page 85] for additional scripts you must run to upgrade to the latest SPECTRUM version. MM_dep_50R1_script.pl The MM_dep_50R1_script.pl script identifies and converts old models.
procedure, delete that model and manually create it as a new GnSNMPDev model or the appropriate LANPlex or Kentrux model type. Troubleshooting If the MT_dep_50R1_script.pl script does not run: 1. Make sure you are logged in as a valid SPECTRUM user. 2. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/vnmsh 3. Run the following command: ./connect 4. Run the following command: ./disconnect You may have to perform this procedure more than once.
Procedure 1. Start the SpectroSERVER. 2. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/SS-Tools/Convert_to_SSX 3. Run the following command: Convert_to_SSX.script The -gnsnmpdev flag can be added to the end of this command to convert both Gen9000 and GnSNMPDev models. Only models of 9x5xx devices are converted; other Gen9000 and GnSNMPDev models are not converted. 4. After the script runs, check the Conv_SSX_Log__
Procedure 1. When you have determined that all models have converted, stop the SpectroSERVER. 2. Run the MT_del_50R1_script.pl script, using a logon identity that has permissions to delete database entries, files, and directories in the SPECTRUM installation directory (<$SPECROOT>). Removing Discontinued Ethernet Application Models and Model Types The section contains the procedure for removing the discontinued models and model types listed in Table 3, using the procedure that follows.
4. Check the Rem_Mdls_Log__
Upgrading Host Models and Model Types The section contains the procedure for converting the host model types listed in Table 4 to new model types as part of your SPECTRUM upgrade. The table shows model conversion data for old host model types and the new converted host model types. Table 4: Host Model Type Conversions Old Host Model Type New Host Model Type SM-GHO1000: Host_NT, Host_HP, Host_SGI, Host_IBM, Host_DEC, Host_Sun, and GenericHost model types.
host_conversion.pl Procedure 1. Start the SpectroSERVER. 2. Navigate to: SS-Tools/Convert_to_Host 3. Run the following command: host_conversion.pl [gnsnmpdev] Note: If you run the script with the gnsnmpdev flag, it will also convert any workstations modeled as a GnSNMPDev. It may take a few minutes for the script to run. 4. Check the Conv_HOST_Log__
Procedure 1. Stop the SpectroSERVER. 2. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/SS 3. Run the following command: ../SS-Tools/db_remove ../SS-Tools/ Convert_to_Host/obsmodellist.txt You can also run the above command with the debug flag turned on, as follows: ../SS-Tools/db_remove -debug ../SS-Tools/Convert_to_Host/obsmodellist.
Upgrading Nortel Accelar Models and Model Types The section contains the procedure for upgrading the models and model types listed in Table 5, using the procedure that follows. Table 5: Nortel Accelar Upgrade Old Model Type New Model Type Template PassportDev Accelar1200 Psp2Accelar.dbc (model type handle 0x2ec0005) (model type handle 0x2ec0002) Note: You can use Search Manager to determine if you have models that meet this criteria.
Upgrading Generic Cable Modem Models and Model Types The section contains the procedure for upgrading the models and model types listed in Table 6, using the procedure that follows. Table 6: Generic Cable Modem Upgrade Old Model Type New Model Type Script Details GnCableModem DocsisCM DocsisCM_migration.pl The new model type retains the same model type handle, so information about that model is retained in the upgrade. Procedure 1. Start the SpectroSERVER. 2.
Upgrading Juniper Router Models and Model Types The section contains the procedure for upgrading the models and model types listed in Table 7, using the procedure that follows. Table 7: Juniper Router Upgrade Old Model Type New Model Type Script Details JNPR_Mxxx JnprRedundRtr Improved redundancy components for the M20, M40e, and M160 devices. juniperConv.pl Procedure 1. Start the SpectroSERVER. 2. Navigate to: <$SPECROOT>/SS-Tools/juniperConversion 3. Run the following command: juniperConv.pl 4.
Upgrading Management Modules Use Table 8 to determine the script and template combination to run to upgrade the SPECTRUM management modules listed; then complete the procedure—or individual steps—that follow. Table 8: Scripts and Templates for Upgrading Management Modules For this management module: Use this template: With these scripts: SM-WEL1003 Ntlwf_dep_template MM_Model_Migration.pl MM_MType_Deletion.pl MM_rediscovery.pl SM-CSI1097 DocsisDepTemplate MM_MType_Deletion.pl MM_rediscovery.
Troubleshooting If one of the scripts fails: 1. Ensure that you are running the scripts in the order presented in the procedure. 2. Ensure that the SpectroSERVER is running or stopped, as indicated in the procedure. 3. Ensure that the database is not locked by another process.
Troubleshooting This section describes error messages and problems you may encounter when using the SPECTRUM installation software. Possible causes and solutions are provided wherever possible. Error: On Solaris systems, the screen displays inverted text, partially missing text, or other improper elements. Solution: Make sure you are using the latest drivers for your video card. Error Message: You must have the correct privileges to run Install. On a Unix system, you must be root.
Error Message: - - - - - - - - - - - TRACEBACK Module "X " Message Module "Dsply" Message Module "Err - - - - - - - - 2: file "err.c " line 438 0: file "./xdsply.c" line 102 " Message -1: file "err.
Error Message: ** Error during Database save as db_ Installation Phase: DBImporting Cause: Installation software is unable to save the existing SS database, most likely because the SS database is write-protected or does not exist (was deleted). Solution: Use the chmod utility to make the SS database writable, and reinstall. If this does not work, contact your Aprisma support or sales representative.
Cause: These and similar messages during linking are caused by failure of on-site linking of a product executable. Often, these messages are preceded by output of various link utilities, for example: ld: SS.o: No such file or directory ld: : output write error: Bad file number nm: SpectroSERVER: cannot open The exact format and nature of these errors may vary somewhat between platforms.
Uninstalling SPECTRUM You should uninstall SPECTRUM when you are migrating from one machine to another; or when removing SPECTRUM from your network environment. You should not uninstall SPECTRUM when upgrading in place.

Appendix A This section contains detailed information on topics referenced from other parts of this guide. In this section: Using the Online Backup Utility [page 109] Mounting the SPECTRUM CD [page 109] Setting the Solaris Display Environment [page 111] Using the DBconv Utility [page 112] Using the Online Backup Utility Procedure 1. In the SPECTRUM Control Panel select File > Save Database. The Online Database Backup Configuration View opens. 2.
If Volume Management is disabled, you will need to set up a CD mountpoint directory and enter a mount command to access the installation software on the SPECTRUM CD. This procedure varies depending on whether the installation is local (the target workstation is the host for the CD drive) or remote (the drive is hosted by a workstation other than the target workstation). CD mounting procedures for local and remote installations are described separately in the following sections.
If the dfstab file does not already exist, you will have to create it. Add this entry, perform Step 6, and then reboot (or run etc/rc2.d/K28nfs.server.start) before proceeding to Step 7.) 6. Export the file system by making the following command line entry: exportfs -a 7. Log onto the target workstation as root using the su - command. 8. Type mkdir /cdrom to create a directory for the CD mount point.
is in effect on your workstation. If it is not, set the variable by entering one of the following commands: From the C shell: setenv DISPLAY :0 From the Bourne or Korn shells: DISPLAY=:0 ; export DISPLAY Using the DBconv Utility SPECTRUM provides a DBconv utility that converts a set of models in the SPECTRUM database from one model type to another. You can also use DBconv to rediscover applications and to reconfigure the interfaces in a set of models.
If you wish to convert only a subset of the models present, you can remove the comment symbol from the #models_to_convert line and enter a specific number of models to be converted. This action will cause the DBConv utility to selectively convert the number of models you specify from among those present in your database. Leaving the line commented (with the # in place) will convert all models of the specified type with which SpectroSERVER has established contact. 5.
(e.g., Rtr_cisco_IGS instead of Rtr_CiscoIGS), the system will generate an Event00010644 model mismatch alarm. The DBconv utility can take its configuration from two places: • A file that is specified on the command line • Directly from the command line itself. Options entered via the command line will override corresponding options specified in the configuration file. To get a list of available command line options, run DBconv with no option listed. For further details on DBconv functions, see the DBconv.
