User`s guide

Set this to the SPECTRUM base directory to which SPECTRUM_home refers. For example, if
SPECTRUM is installed in /usr/spectrum, DATA_PATH=’/usr/spectrum’.
DATA_DIR
Set this to the directory (under the base directory) where the command line interface programs are
located. Normally, DATA_DIR=’vnmsh’.
POLL_INT
Set this to the number of seconds between polls of the devices. A smaller number will create more
network traffic.
LOG_RATIO
Set this to the fraction of polls that are logged. (For instance, if LOG_RATIO is 5, every fifth poll is
logged.) This, together with POLL_INT, controls the intervals between data samples.
2. Execute the script
The script requires at least two parameters. The first is the SPECTRUM landscape (server) name. The remaining
parameters are the model types of interest. Many different model types can be enabled for polling and logging at one
time. For example, if the SPECTRUM landscape name is sunfin and the model types for data collection are
HubCSIMRXi
and
Rtr_Cisco
, then the following should be used to start data collection:
/usr/spectrum/vnmsh/cscsilog sunfin HubCSIMRXi Rtr_Cisco
3. Watch the output of the script.
You should see messages similar to the following:
Starting CLI Local Server ./VnmShd ...
connect: successful sunfin
current landscape is 0x400000
Updating attributes for all models of type Rtr_Cisco
Id Name Value
0x10071 Polling_Interval 60
Id Name Value
0x10072 Poll_Log_Ratio 10
Updating attributes for all models of type HubCSIMRXi
Id Name Value
0x10071 Polling_Interval 60
Id Name Value
0x10072 Poll_Log_Ratio 10
where the Id fields are the attribute IDs that correspond to the Polling Interval and Poll_Log_Ratio. These attributes
control the rate of polling and archiving of data for the model type.
