Abbreviation and Terms for Cabletron SPECTRUM
Caution: The SPECTRUM examples and definitions are meant as a guide to setting up SPECTRUM. The examples and
definitions were created using SPECTRUM Release 4.0 and work with that release. In cases where there is a discrepancy
between the examples and definitions in this document and those in Cabletron SPECTRUM documents, the information from
Cabletron takes precedence
A landscape is the set of devices managed by a specific server. That is, a landscape is the server plus the devices
managed by that server.
A SPECTRUM database contains general information about the types of devices in a landscape and also contains current
data collected about the devices in a landscape. Generally, current refers to the last few cycles of data collection.
SPECTRUM archives collect data about devices in a statistics data base. Data are exported from the statistics data base
to SAS staging data sets. The data in the data sets are then processed into your PDB.
A model type is a set of similar devices. One model type might be HP workstations, another might be Cabletron Systems
MRXI Repeaters, and so on. Each model type has a name, and model type names are case sensitive.
A model type handle is a hex number that uniquely identifies a particular model type. Model type handles are assigned
by SPECTRUM and, thus, are the same in every SPECTRUM landscape. For instance, HP workstations have a model
type name of Host_HP, which corresponds to a model type handle of 0x1160008.
Note: A table in an IT Service Vision performance data warehouse (PDB) contains the data from a given model type.
The IT Service Vision table name is the same as the model type name (or shortened if the full name of the model type is
too long).
A model is a particular device managed by a server. Thus, a model is an instance of a model type. A SPECTRUM
database typically has data about more than one model per model type.
A model handle is a hex number that uniquely identifies that particular model (device) in a SPECTRUM database. A
model handle is generated by SPECTRUM when a device is added to the landscape, and the model handle is unique
within that landscape. For example, a particular Cabletron MRXI repeater could have model handle 0x04023a1 on one
server, and no other device on that server would have that same model handle. And if that Cabletron MRXI repeater
were also managed by another server, its model handle would be 0x04023a1 in the first SPECTRUM database and could
be 0x04023a1 or, say, 0x23001b in the other SPECTRUM database.
