Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) release 9.1 uses the CiscoView version 4.1 program to manage AXIS release 4.1 shelves, as well as IGX and BPX release 9.1 equipment. AXIS releases up through 4.0 shelves are managed through the Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager, which is launched instead of CiscoView when one of these shelves is selected.
To launch CiscoView from Cisco SV+, click on the Equipment Management button on the SV+ Desktop window, or, when you are running HP OpenView, display a topology and select the Equipment Mgr command on the Cisco menu. (This menu command is disabled unless an AXIS node or an AXIS-connected BPX node is selected in the Topology window.)
Cisco View is not launched when you select a supported device using the Equipment Manager window's Display Shelf View button.
The Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager contains tools for configuring release 4.0 AXIS-shelf cards, lines, and ports. The Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager may be viewed by multiple users at various Cisco SV+ workstations. However, a single Cisco SV+ desktop cannot run multiple sessions of the Equipment Manager.
When managing equipment, either through CiscoView or the Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager, the Cisco SV+ core processes must be running.
CiscoView is a separate product and is not installed during Cisco SV+ installation. However, a CiscoView 4.1 product CD is included in the Cisco SV+ product package and can be installed by following the instructions in the CiscoView Installation Guide. For information about using CiscoView, see that product's documentation.
Click on the Equipment Management button on the SV+ Desktop window to display the Node:Shelf Selection window.
The Nodes pane lists all of the nodes present in the network. The Shelves pane is empty when the window is first displayed.
Boldfaced names indicate a node has shelves available for viewing. When you select one of these nodes, the shelves are listed in the Shelves pane.
To view details about a particular shelf, select its entry in the Shelves pane, then click on the OK button.
When you select a node and shelf that is managed from CiscoView (see the introduction to this chapter) and click on the OK button, Cisco SV+ attempts to display the CiscoView application. When CiscoView is not installed, a message box is displayed informing you CiscoView failed to launch. Click on the Acknowledge button to close this message box and return to the Cisco SV+ Desktop.
When you select a node and shelf managed from the Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager, the Equipment Manager window is displayed. This window displays information about the selected AXIS shelf.
Initially, the Shelf View pane is empty.
To see a graphical display of the cards installed on the selected shelf, click on the Display Shelf View button. In the display of cards that fills the center pane of the window, both the card and the individual lines into each card are color coded to indicate status.
The Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager window includes the following fields/controls:
Node Name | This read-only field identifies the currently selected node. |
Interface Shelf | This field identifies the currently selected shelf. |
"..." button | Click on this button to re-display the Node:Shelf Selection window, which allows you the select a different node or shelf. When you select a device not managed by the Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager (see the introduction to this chapter), the Display Shelf View button, described below, turns red. |
Display Shelf View | Use this button to load the card cage display into the window, showing a graphical display of all of the cards for the selected node or shelf. When this button is red, it means you have selected a device not managed by the Cisco SV+ Equipment Manager. When you click on the Display Shelf View button, an error message is displayed. Click on the OK button to dismiss the error message, then select the File menu's Exit option to close the Equipment Manager window. Re-select the Equipment Management button in the SV+ Desktop window. When you select the desired device in the Node:Shelf Selection window and click on the OK button, Cisco SV+ attempts to open CiscoView so you can manage this device. When CiscoView is not installed, you cannot manage the device from this workstation. |
Shelf View | This region contains a graphical display of each of the cards in the interface shelf. The card type is printed above the card. Under each card is the slot number. Click on a card to select it, then select options from the Equipment Manager window's menu bar to see details about that card. |
