Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 Configuration Requirements Introduction Telco Alarms Manager (TAM) is a set of telecom server software components designed to manage the alarms state of the server and indicate health status via the local Telco Alarm Panel (TAP) as well as remotely via dry contact relays.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 Configuration Installation TAM 2.0 is provided on the HP Server cc3310 User Information Diagnostics and Utility Resource CD. To run installation directly from CD: Installation can be started from the Welcome page that auto runs when the CD is mounted or inserted. From the welcome page, select Management SW. From the drop down Management Software page: 1. If you are using a Linux OS, select the Install Linux ISM/TAM Driver’s box (at the bottom of the page). 2.
SNMP Event Agent The SNMP Event Agent is installed with TAM. It is delivered as a component of TAMTools. The SNMP Event Agent listens for configured SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps. Any exceeded thresholds or alerts that it receives are mapped and forwarded to TAM which illuminates corresponding status LEDs on the alarm panel. NOTE TAMTools must be running for this feature to be active. You can run TAMTools in the background by starting it in the shell with a "tamtools –t" command.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 Configuration Alarm Models TAM supports two models, Most Severe and All Severities. If TAM is running in firmware-based mode, the SDR (Sensor Data Record) can be configured to change the alarm model. Please refer to the BMC TAM EPS for SDR information. If TAM is running in software-based mode, the alarm model can be configured by modifying the tamconfig file and setting ALL_SEVERITIES_MODEL to yes or no. TAM must be restarted in order for this change to take effect.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 TAMTools TAMTools NOTE TAMTools must be running for this feature to be active. You can run TAMTools in the background by starting it in the shell with a "tamtools –t" command. TAMTools is an example of how the TAM API can be used to operate the Telco alarms. Overview TAMTools is a Java-based stand-alone application that performs various Telco Alarms Manager functions.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 TAMTools • Object— An object represents major hardware component(s) such as memory, processors, etc. • Counter—The monitored value(s) of an object. Each object has 1 or more counters. For example, available memory is a counter for the memory object. • Instance— Some objects have multiple entities. For example, the PhysicalDisk object may have one instance - c:\ or multiple instances - c:\, d:\, and e : \.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 TAMTools SNMP Tab The SNMP tab represents the SNMP Event Agent. The TAMTools MIB browser allows the user to select SNMP entries or TRAP entries and configure a threshold for the entry. The threshold allows for the generation of a Telco Alarms Manager LED assertion. The SNMP Event Agent stores configuration information in tamtools.xml. This configuration file can be imported or exported to additional servers.
Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0 TAMTools • Removing SNMP Events—Select the SNMP tab and select details to view event details. Select the event that you wish to remove and then select Remove. This configuration change is updated to the xml file and can be viewed immediately in the details window. OSD Tab TAMTools provides an on-screen display tool that shows the Telco Alarms Manager state and the Telco Alarm Panel state. TAM OSD is available for use as a debug or development tool.
