IBM NETCOOL 4.3-W - Manual (Page 471)

Appendix A: Configuration
Netcool/Proviso Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack User’s Guide, Version 4.3-W 449
An inventory collects data about the network resources that the technology pack monitors. After you install
an SNMP technology pack, you must create an inventory profile using the Inventory Tool Wizard and then
initiate a discovery by executing the inventory profile using the Inventory Tool .
Running the initial inventory against SNMP objects is an intricate task and unfortunately beyond the scope
of this configuration appendix. For instructions on using the Inventory Tool Wizard to create an inventory
profile and the Inventory Tool to execute the inventory profile, see the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration
Guide.
12. Edit pack-specific UBA parameters, based on the following Netcool/Proviso platforms:
— 443 and higher
— Pre-443
443 and Higher
In this release of Netcool/Proviso, you were instructed to modify the technology pack-specific UBA
parameters when you installed the Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack, using the Topology Editor. If you
did not modify the UBA parameters with site-specific values or you want to make additional edits, you can
do so now. Otherwise, you can go to the next step.
See the Installing Technology Packs chapter of the Netcool/Proviso Installation Guide for more information.
Pre-443
The Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack requires specific UBA parameters that are not in the
dc.cfg
file.
The DataChannel installer creates a
dc.cfg
file in the DATA_CHANNEL_HOME/conf directory
(
/opt/datachannel/conf
, by default). These pack-specific parameters were delivered in a template file
called
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg
.
The best practice on adding these pack-specific parameters to the
dc.cfg
file is to:
— Edit the pack-specific UBA parameters in the template file with site-specific values.
— Manually add them to the
dc.cfg
file.
To edit the pack-specific UBA parameters in the template file with site-specific values, follow these steps:
12-a. On the DataChannel server, change your working directory to the
DATA_CHANNEL_HOME/scripts directory by entering the following command, replacing
DATA_CHANNEL_HOME with the DataChannel home directory (
/opt/datachannel
, by default):
cd DATA_CHANNEL_HOME/scripts
12-b. Make a backup copy of the
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg
template file, by entering the
following command:
cp voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg.ORIG
12-c. In a text editor, open the
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg
template file for editing.
12-d. Edit the pack-specific UBA parameters according to the instructions provided in Appendix B, Template File
Reference .
Note: The cross reference link to Appendix B , Template File Reference does not work due to a formatting
limitation.
12-e. When you are satisfied with your edits, write (but do not quit) the
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg
template file.
Important: Editing the dc.cfg file is a non-trivial task and prone to error. Take your time and check your work
carefully.
