This chapter describes the Cisco Digital Subscriber Line Manager (CDM) deployment feature. Deployment is the process of preparing the Cisco EMF server for the creation and subsequent management of new network elements. It is occasionally referred to as provisioning. It is also occasionally referred to as preprovisioning.
Preprovisioning means that part of the network setup before the service is actually provisioned. After objects are deployed, the initial state of all objects is normal.
Preprovisioning is the process of reserving and configuring a space in the system for network equipment, which are not yet been physically slotted into the system rack. It refers to a particular state of the device or object. If an object/device is in preprovisioned state, it means that though the device/object is not present, the system was preprovisioned to hold an object of similar type. Thus the line cards in the CDM can exist in a state known as preprovisioned but the CDM will not monitor their status. When the cards are placed in the physical equipment, you can move the line card from the preprovisioned state to the commissioned state by clicking the Commission button. Refer to the "Commissioning Objects" section.
 |
Note The initial state of all objects after deployment is decommissioned. You can also select Decommission if required. Refer to the "Decommissioning Objects Before Maintenance" section for more information. |
You can also create site, chassis, NI-2 and line card objects manually from the MapViewer or Object Manager applications.
|
Note An NI-2 object is automatically created when a chassis is deployed. |
Each object has two names:
During deployment and object creation, these names are the same as each other. However, if you rename one occurrence, you must ensure that the other occurrence of the name is also changed. For more information about naming objects, refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide.
To create new chassis, NI-2 and line card objects, use Deployment from the following object types or map nodes (Table 3-1).
| Task | Launch Point | |||||||
| Manager | Site | Shelf | Chassis | NI-2 Card | NI-2, OC-3 Port | Line Card | ADSL Line Card Port | |
Deploy Network | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No |
Deploy Site | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No |
Deploy Cisco DSLAM | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No |
Deploy Cisco DMT Line Card | No | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | No |

After you specify one of the options listed in step 2, the Deployment Wizard launches.
To select a deployment option from the NI-2 object drop-down menu:
Step 2 Select the following option:
After you specify one of the options listed in step 2, the Deployment Wizard launches.
Use the Deployment Wizard to deploy new network objects which can then be managed. Launched the Deployment Wizard from pop-up menus available on selected objects in the Map Viewer or Object Manager applications. The sequence of windows that appear during deployment in the Wizard include:
|
Note The windows that appear depend upon the type of deployment selected. |
To deploy a CDM DSLAM under a site:
Step 2 Select Deploy Cisco 6130 DSLAM or Deploy Cisco 6260 DSLAM.
Step 3 The Deployment Selector window appears (Figure 3-1).
Step 4 Select one of the options available in the Deployment Selector window.
Step 5 Click the Forward button.
Step 6 The Deployment Details window appears (Figure 3-2).
Step 7 Enter unique shelf, chassis, and NI-2 card names.
|
Note The shelf, chassis, NI-2 card combination you name must be different from any other managed object. |
Step 8 Click the Forward button to access the Object Details window (Figure 3-3).
Step 9 In the Attributes area, enter the IP Address of the N1-2 device.
Step 10 Select the SNMP version of the N1-2 device, enter the correct SNMP values and click the Forward button. The Deployment Summary window appears (Figure 3-4).
The Deployment Summary window summarizes the deployment you have created and enables you to either commit or reject the deployment.
Step 11 To commit a deployment, click the Finish button to confirm the operation. The Cancel button changes to the Dismiss button. To close the window, click the Dismiss button, or, to reject the deployment, click the Cancel button.
Step 12 A feedback window then informs you if deployment is successful or not.
To deploy a DMT line card:
Step 2 Place the cursor over the relevant NI-2 object. Press and hold down the right mouse button, a pop-up menu appears.
|
Note The NI-2 card must be commissioned before a line card can be deployed. Refer to the "Commissioning Objects" section. |
Step 3 Move the cursor to Deploy DMT --\> Line Card to highlight it. Release the mouse button.
Step 4 The Deployment Selector window appears (Figure 3-5).
Step 5 Select the deployment you require and click the Forward button. The Deployment Details window appears (Figure 3-6).
Step 6 Enter the number of DMT line card objects, and click the Forward button to view the Object Details window (Figure 3-7).
Step 7 Enter the slot number of the DMT line card and click the Forward button. The Containment Details window appears (Figure 3-8).
Step 8 Click one of the Select buttons to choose either physContainment or pvcdialogContainment.
Either the physContainment window (Figure 3-9) or the pvcdialogContainment window (Figure 3-10) appears.
Step 9 In the PhysContainment window, select the chassis object and click the Apply button. The Deployment Summary window appears (Figure 3-11).
The Deployment Summary window summarizes the deployment that you have created and enables you to either commit or reject the deployment.
Step 10 To commit the deployment click the Finish button to confirm the operation. The Cancel button changes to the Dismiss button.
To close the window, click the Dismiss button, or, to reject the deployment, click the Cancel button.
A feedback window then informs you if deployment is successful or not.
Use the Site Information option to enter site information and contact details for the selected site (for example, the site address and contact information).
To view and edit the Site Information window:
Step 2 Select the Site Information option. The Site Information window appears (Figure 3-12).
The Site Information window contains three tabbed sections:
Contact One Tab
To enter information for the Contact One tab (the first contact):
Step 2 Enter information into each of the data entry boxes as required to provide personal contact details for an individual at the site.
Step 3 To save the information you entered, select the Save option from the File menu or click the save icon (the open folder) on the window toolbar.
Contact Two Tab
Enter the details of a second contact person at the selected site. To save the information you entered, select the Save option from the File menu or click the save icon (the open folder) on the window toolbar.
To enter notes for a selected site, use the Notes option. To access the Notes window:
Step 2 Select the Notes option and release the mouse button. The Notes window appears (Figure 3-14).
Step 3 Enter information into the Notes section.
Step 4 To save the information you enter, select the Save option from the File menu or click the Save icon (the open folder) on the window toolbar.
Step 5 Click the Close icon or select the Close option from the File menu.
In the commissioned state, the CDM polls the device to detect whether it is present or not.
|
Note Objects can be pre-configured before they are physically installed. |
If an object enters the commissioned state, the CDM polls the object every twenty seconds to determine if it is present or not. If the object has been physically installed, the object attempts to commission all of its descendents. That is, it determines whether or not the object's children and descendents are present. After all of the object's descendents are installed or otherwise detected, the object's state is set to normal.
Commission is available on the NI-2 Status window, which you open from an NI-2 object in the Map Viewer or Object manager applications. Click the Commission button to launch the Subrack Discovery process.
If you want to replace an existing card or perform any kind of maintenance, you must decommission an object. Click the Decommissioned button to change the status from Normal to Decommissioned. The children of the objects also change their status to decommissioned.
|
Note If the Cisco DSLAM is shut down and later restarted, the object is still in the Decommissioned state. |
The state of a selected object is shown in the status bar, and directly affects the operations you can perform on that object. Table 3-2 shows the possible states for each object.
