Main commands

Main commands
License
To allow sipccf to work, a license file must be copied on each MRF-P hosts in
the /opt/AVPOP/cfg/modules/ directory
License key is based on eth0 MAC address

Main commands
The OMC Tool
- omc –help : help on omc

Main commands
The OMC Tool
The OMC Tool (linus login) :
- omc –l : check current state of the MRF Modules (stop/start, manual/auto)
- omc –s , omc –t : start & stop a Module
- omc –m : change current start mode of a module (only from manual to

auto)
- Check defense state (omc –l)
- omc –d start , omc –d stop : modify defense state

Main commands
The OMC Tool
Start : omc -S
To start the MRF, follow the steps below. This will start all the software
modules.
NOTE:This procedure is done automatically when the system starts unless it
has been inhibited before shutdown.
1. Connect to the unit with linus login
2. Type the following command : omc –S
3. The interface returns the following:
· If the machine is already running:
Ospme_machine_control : machine su240rd15 already started ...

Ospme_machine_control : start the machine with defence

Main commands
The OMC Tool
Stop : omc -T
To stop the media server, follow the steps below. This will stop all the modules
1. Connect to the unit with linus login.
2. Type the following command : omc –T
3. The interface returns the following:

ospme_machine_control stop
su65xrd02 - ospme_machine_control : stop the machine …….
mngt> Application is stopping...
· If the machine is already stopped:

ospme_machine_control : machine su240rd15 already stopped…

Main commands
The OMC Tool
List modules
To list all the modules with information,
follow the steps below:
2. Type the following command :

omc –l

Main commands
The OMC Tool
Start module : omc –s <module_name>
2. Type the following command : omc –s <module_name>
In some case a module can be in manual mode, it means that the defence will
not start the module, and only the previous command typed by linus can do so.
To change from a manual mode to automatic mode, you have to type de

previous command and when the module is started type the following
command:
omc –m <module_name>

Main commands
The OMC Tool
Module immediate stop : omc –t <module_name>
2. Type de following command : omc –t <module_name>

Main commands
Trace level (static change)
Trace level in configuration file
2. Type the following command:
cd /opt/AVPOP/cfg/modules
3. Edit the configuration file of the module (<module_name>.cfg) and change
the value of the parameter traceMask
4. Type the following command to restart the module :
omc –r <module_name>

Exercise
 Objective: Remote maintenance - Use of main

commands (traces, management, control) using
SSH

ALARM AND STATISTICS GENERATION :
MRF processes (mrfivr, sipccf, …) write :
- their alarms in /tmp/alarm directory

- their statistics in /tmp/statistics directory

Management
Architecture
alarmlm :
- collects alarms in /tmp/alarm
- send alarms to AlarmGM (MCDP)
Statisticslm :
- collects tickets in /tmp/statistics

- send statistics tickets to StatisticsGM (MCDP)
Recoveryalarmlm : if ALarmGM not reachable, stores alarms and try to

connect periodically AlarmGM in order to send alarms
Recoverystatlm : if StatisticsGM not reachable, stores tickets and try to

connect periodically StatisticsGM in order to send tickets

Platform management
Getting started
How to connect the platform management :
http://139.54.128.90:8080
where 139.54.128.90 is the management floating address of MRF.

Management

Then enter your authentification informations.
(login : weboamadmin, password : admin)

Management
Traps SNMP
For traps SNMP generation, you have to declare your SNMP manager :
-> /opt/jboss/server/mcdp/conf/managers.xml
Add address and port of the new manager in the xml description :
<manager>
<address>IP_Address_XMC_or_COM</address>
<port> IP_port_XMC</port>
<local-address> MNGT PhysicalIPAddress of MRF-C node </local-address>

System backup / restore

System backup / restore
References :
- MRF Backup : 5900 MRF Backup Procedure User Guide
- MRF Restore : 5900 MRF Restore Procedure User Guide

System backup
Overview
SYSTEM BACKUP :
 To be perform after each MRF installation !!!
This service uses MondoRescue open-source solution.
This operation needs to shut down all possible applications (this minimizes any
compare differences following the backup).
=> It’s necessary to boot to single user mode.

System backup
Procedure
1- Boot in single user mode :
 In the file /etc/inittab, replace “id:3:initdefault:” by “id:1:initdefault:”
 reboot
2- Restore file /etc/inittab
3- Launch automatic Mondoarchive Backup script (as root) :
Launch : /Mondobackup/MondoBackupToISO.sh

System backup
Procedure
RESULTS :
In /space/mondorescue :
 creation of an ISO file, backup of the system
 creation of a file containing the MD5 checksum of the ISO

System restore
Procedure
The restore operation uses the bootable DVD (ISO file, backup of your system).
This DVD allows you to perform the automatic complete restore of an

application Server on a MRF.
Duration : approximately 25 minutes .

Exercise
 Objective:
Perform a system backup/restore of a MRF-P using
SSH access
PC
Time allowed : MRF

1 hour
