Magellan Vector OMS-V 2.3 Release Notes
Sun Solaris Installation
Some functions on OMS-V use fonts that are not part of the default Solaris
installation. This means that some GUI items in the OMS-V pull-down menus
will not work. (Example - Operation/Switch Control, which controls synching
and swacting of the Vectors). However, these operations can still be performed
through the text-based VMI. This problem is avoided by following the
instructions provided in “Required font set for Solaris Installation in Chapter
3 of NTP 241-9501-200, Vector Software Installation and Commissioning.
Hewlett Packard Platform Considerations
Hewlett Packard discontinued support for the HP-UX 9.6 operating system as
of 2Q97. The operating system now provided by HP and used by OMS-V
release 2.3 MR1 is HP-UX 10.20. If your current operating system is not HP-
UX 10.20, it must first be installed before installing OMS-V release 2.3 MR1.
OMS-V Installation on Hewlett Packard
WARNING! HP-UX 10.20 causes the installation script to abort if the xterm
window is resized during execution of the script. Therefore, please ensure the
xterm window is an appropriate size before invoking the installation script. It
is worth keeping in mind that this resizing problem occurs during the execution
of any shell script.
HP-Openview Considerations
OMS-V uses the HP-OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) for discovery
and display of the Vector Switching Systems in the network. Hewlett Packard’s
OpenView release, version HP-OV 5.01, is used by OMS-V 2.3 MR1 for
Vector system management. If your HP-OV version is not 5.01, an upgrade to
HP-OV 5.01 is necessary for OMS-V 2.3 MR1 deployment.
A list of patches, shown in
Table 4: on page 13
,
is required for HP OpenView
5.01 installation. Do not install extra patches unless it is advised by HP
OpenView technical personnel.
Further information about the patches, and the files to download can be found
on the World Wide Web at the following address:
http://ovweb.external.hp.com:80/cpe/patches/nnm/nnm.html
If the listed patches in Table 4 can not be obtained, use the latest HP OpenView
5.01 consolidated patches which contain the required patches.
Note: OMS-V 2.3 MR1 release was tested with the patches listed in Table 4.
