IBM Tivoli TrainingNetcool/Proviso 4.4.3 IBM Tivoli Training Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3 Change FC_QUOTA values using the topology editor This module describes changing FC_QUOTA values using the Netcool/Proviso® topology editor. Objectives Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: Identify the steps taken to update FC_QUOTA values Describe the use of the topology editor and deployer to implement FC_QUOTA changes Upon completion of this module, you should be able to identify the steps taken to update FC_QUOTA values and describe the use of the Topology Editor and Deployer to implement FC_QUOTA changes. Assumptions Assumptions Before undertaking these tasks: You must have Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3, or later, installed and running You have access to the servers in the Proviso installation and root access to run the Launchpad You must have a Web browser installed in order to run the Launchpad Before undertaking these tasks, you must have Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3, or later, installed and running. You must have access to the servers in the Proviso installation and root access to run the Launchpad, and you must have a Web browser installed to run the Launchpad. Changing FC_QUOTA values Changing FC_QUOTA values Before Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3, you changed FC_QUOTA values by editing configuration files. In Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3, you use the Topology Editor to change the FC_QUOTA values. From there the new FC_QUOTA values are deployed into the installation. Slide 5 To change FC_QUOTA values, you must launch the Topology Editor. In this example the Topology Editor will be launched from the Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3 Launchpad. As root, on the server where the launchpad.sh is located, run the launchpad.sh command. When the Launchpad graphical user interface (or GUI) is displayed, click Install Topology Editor. Slide 6 When Install Topology Editor is displayed within the Launchpad GUI, click Start Topology Editor. Slide 7 The Topology Editor will open in a pop-up window. This example uses an existing topology file. Click Open Existing Topology from the Topology pull-down menu. Slide 8 The topology file used in this example is a local topology file. Click local. Slide 9 This example uses the default topology file called topology.xml, located on the server at /opt/IBM/proviso/topologyEditor. Highlight the topology.xml file and click OK. Slide 10 After you have selected the topology.xml file, click Finish. Slide 11 In the Topology Editor, under Logical View, expand Netcool/Proviso Topology. Slide 12 Click to expand DataChannels. Slide 13 Use the scrollbar to display DataChannel 1 components. Slide 14 Click to expand to the component view of DataChannel 1. In this example the FC_QUOTA values for SNMP 1.1, FTE 1.1, CME 1.1, LDR 1, and DLDR 1 will be updated. Slide 15 Click to expand Collector 1.1. Slide 16 Click to highlight Collector SNMP 1.1. Slide 17 Highlight and edit the FC_QUOTA value for Collector SNMP 1.1. Slide 18 Click to highlight Complex Metric Engine 1.1. Slide 19 Highlight and edit the FC_QUOTA value for Complex Metric Engine 1.1. Slide 20 Click to highlight File Transfer Engine 1.1. Slide 21 The FC_QUOTA property is located within the Advanced Properties tab for the File Transfer Engine. Click the Advanced Properties tab and then highlight and edit the FC_QUOTA value. Slide 22 Click to highlight Daily Loader 1. Slide 23 The FC_QUOTA property is found under the Properties tab for Daily Loader. Click the Properties tab and then highlight and edit the FC_QUOTA value for Daily Loader 1. Slide 24 Scroll down to display Hourly Loader 1. Slide 25 Click to highlight Hourly Loader 1. Slide 26 Click to highlight and then edit the FC_QUOTA value for Hourly Loader 1. Slide 27 After you have updated the FC_QUOTA values, you must save the topology before it can be deployed. In the Topology pull-down menu, click Save Topology. This action saves the topology file that was updated using the Topology Editor. Slide 28 After the topology has been saved, you use the embedded Deployer in the Topology Editor to deploy the updated topology. Click Run Deployer for Installation from the Run pull-down menu. Slide 29 Click OK on the informational pop-up window. Slide 30 The embedded Deployer is initialized. Slide 31 Click Next. Slide 32 The Deployer loads the topology. Slide 33 You must now supply credentials for the Netcool/Proviso database. You must enter the host name of the database and the password for the PV_INSTALL database user. Verify that the information provided and pre populated is correct for your installation before proceeding. Slide 34 After you have supplied and verified the correct credentials, click Next. Slide 35 The Deployer now downloads the environment status. Slide 36 When presented with choices of running the configuration’s steps, click Run All to update the channel configuration. Slide 37 When the steps have successfully completed, click Done. Stop and restart the channel components Stop and restart the channel components The FC_QUOTA values for Channel 1 have been changed. The DataChannel components must be stopped and restarted. This work should be scheduled with your Proviso installation’s administrators in order to minimize the impact on collection. On the DataChannel server for Channel 1, stop the processes using the dccmd command. Then restart the processes, using the dccmd command with the start option. Summary Summary You should now be able to: Identify the steps taken to update FC_QUOTA values Describe the use of the Topology Editor and Deployer to implement FC_QUOTA changes You should now be able to identify the steps taken to update FC_QUOTA values and describe the use of the topology editor and deployer to implement FC_QUOTA changes.
