Cabletron SPECTRUM Appendix 2: Alternate Data-Logging Method
This is an alternate version of the task in Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process, Reduce and Report on Your Data.
In this version of the task, you update the SPECTRUM database using the SPECTRUM Command Line Interface (CLI). Using
CLI, you can enable logging of attributes for more than one model at a time.
Prerequisites
1. SAS is installed.
See Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection Software
.
2. The IT Service Vision server software is installed.
See Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection Software
.
3. You know the model type name of the devices from which you want to collect data.
Because SPECTRUM and IT Service Vision are organized based on the model type of a device, in this document
logging will be enabled for all devices with the same model type. See Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process,
Reduce and Report on Your Data for more information on determining the model type for a particular model.
4. The IT Service Vision server is available on the SPECTRUM management machine.
See Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection Software
for more information.
Actions
All actions for this task are to be performed on the SPECTRUM management machine.
Note:
The IT Service Vision file
cscsilog
contains a shell script that interfaces with the SPECTRUM data base by using the
SPECTRUM Command Line Interface (CLI). For more information on CLI, please refer to the SPECTRUM Command Line
I
nterface manual.
1. Customize the cscsilog shell script for updating the SPECTRUM data base to enable data collection.
a. Make a copy of cscsilog.
For the purpose of illustration, assume that
!SASROOT=/usr/local/sas/, SPECTRUM is installed in
/usr/spectrum
, and assume that your work space is /tmp/. In that case, you would use this command:
cp /usr/local/sas/misc/cpe/cscsilog /tmp/cscsilog
to copy cscsilog to the /tmp directory.
b. Customize the cscsilog shell script.
Near the top of
cscsilog
you will find a section of user-definable variables that control the execution of the
script. These must be customized to work properly at your site.
