Setting Up the Management Engine 1100 Series

Setting Up the Management Engine 1100 Series

This chapter describes common scenarios to help you configure your system. It contains:

ME 1100 Series Overview

The ME 1100 Series is a network appliance that performs distributed data collection and aggregation functions for network management applications. The ME 1100 Series is used by Service Level Manager (SLM) to collect performance data needed to monitor service level agreements that you have established with your service providers. Several ME 1100 Series can be deployed in your network, as shown in Figure 2-1, and more than one SLM server can connect to a single ME 1100 Series.


Figure 2-1: Sample Network Configuration


Each ME 1100 Series collects the appropriate service-level metrics from its assigned set of SA Agent-enabled network devices using SNMP. The SLM application periodically collects data so to not overload the network. Data is collected using HTTP data stream and XML format. This distributed architecture enables localized collection of management data across VPNs and firewalls.

Setting up the ME 1100 Series is a multistep process, which is defined in Table 2-1. After the steps are completed, your ME 1100 Series is ready to begin monitoring device pairs for data collection.

As part of the configuration process, you must set a username and password for both the SLM server and the ME 1100 Series to enable communication between the two devices.

As part of the ME 1100 Series setup script, you are prompted for a DNS server. It is recommended that you register the ME 1100 Series with the DNS server, as the ME 1100 Series must communicate with the DNS server to resolve all hostnames.

For your convenience, Table 2-1 provides you with a quick reference to help you configure your ME 1100 Series.


Note Table 2-1 assumes you have already installed your ME 1100 Series and run the setup script.


Table 2-1: Quick Reference for Setting Up the ME 1100 Series
Step Description Reference

Step 1

Register ME 1100 Series with DNS

It is recommended that you register the ME 1100 Series with the DNS server.

Step 2

Verify DNS is working

From the ME 1100 Series command prompt, enter nslookup <ip address> <dns server>.

Step 3

Set/verify clock settings

It is recommended that you use NTP. If you have no NTP server, verify clock setting is correct using show clock command from the ME 1100 Series command prompt.

For more information, see Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series.

Step 4

Add devices to inventory

All devices must be SNMP enabled with a read-write community string.

For more information, see Installing and Setting Up CD Two (on Windows NT or Solaris).

Step 5

Set up ME 1100 Series using SLM administrative GUI framework

Enter password for username slmuser when prompted. From the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop, select Service Level Management >Administration >Management Engine>Configure.

  • Complete required fields.

  • Add password for username slmuser, which must match slmuser password added to ME 1100 Series.

  • Click Close. The Configure Management Engine window closes, and the Management Engine Software Update window opens.

See section "Configuring the ME 1100 Series".

Step 6

Verify ME 1100 Series is running

Check status of ME 1100 Series configured on your network.

From the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop, select Service Level Management >Administration >Management Engine>Management Engine Status.

See section "Viewing Management Engine Status".

Step 7

Update ME 1100 Series software

Download software from SLM server to ME 1100 Series. Click Check All, then click Update Software.

For future software update needs, you can select
Service Level Management>Administration>
Management Engine>Software>Update Software
from the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop.

See section "Updating Software on the ME 1100 Series".

Step 8

Check ME 1100 Series software update status

This is an automated process.

To verify software update status for future needs, you can select Service Level Management >Administration >Management Engine>Software>View Software Update Status from the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop,

See section "Viewing Software Update Status".

Configuring the ME 1100 Series

You configure the ME 1100 Series by selecting Service Level Management>
Administration> Management Engine>Configure from the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop. The Configure Management Engine window opens, as shown in Figure 2-2.


Note You are prompted to install the Client Application Manager (CAM) when you click a SLM file in the SLM navigation tree. CAM can speed up the time needed to download applications after the first invocation. Restart your browser when CAM installation is complete.

Step 6 Close the browser window after viewing ME 1100 Series statistics.


Modifying an ME 1100 Series

There are several reasons for modifying an ME 1100 Series:

If source devices are reassigned to another ME 1100 Series, SLM deletes the collection request from the old ME 1100 Series, then sets up a new collection request on the new ME 1100 Series. This results in SA Agent operation changes to the source device. The setup and tear-down changes affect the ability to maintain data collection for that time, which creates a gap when report information is viewed. Your SLCs and SLAs, however, remain intact.

Before You Begin

For more information, refer to Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series.

Setting a New ME 1100 Series As Default

SLM requires at least one ME 1100 Series for monitoring SLA device pairs. When only one ME 1100 Series is installed and configured on the network, it automatically becomes the default device. The default device is responsible for monitoring all device pairs that are not assigned to a particular ME 1100 Series.

You cannot delete an ME 1100 Series set as default. Therefore, you must assign another ME 1100 Series as the default device before you can remove or replace an ME 1100 Series. If you set another ME 1100 Series as default, any newly defined device pairs are assigned to it. Previously assigned device pairs remain unchanged.


Note SLA device pairs already defined and assigned to a default management engine are not reassigned to the new management engine set to default.

Procedure


Step 1 From the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop, select Service Level Management>Administration>Management Engine>Configure.

The Configure Management Engine window opens, as shown in Figure 2-9.

Removing an ME 1100 Series

As your network changes, you might need to remove or upgrade an ME 1100 Series.

If you have only one ME 1100 Series configured on your network, you must add another management engine to the network, then set it as default. This will enable you to remove the initial one without disturbing any jobs.

There are three basic steps for preparing to remove an ME 1100 Series, as shown in Table 2-15.


Table 2-15: Quick Reference Table
Step Description

    1.

Add another ME 1100 Series to your network. See the section "Setting a New ME 1100 Series As Default".

    2.

Set the new ME 1100 Series as default.

    3.

Reassign source devices to a new ME 1100 Series1.
