2.1 HiPath 4000 in the Customer LAN
In order to be able to control the IP-based access points/HiPath 4000 SoftGates,
the HiPath 4000 control system must be given access to the IP network via which
all access points/HiPath 4000 SoftGates can be reached. This is usually the
customers intranet. Once the Atlantic LAN is an internal HiPath 4000 network
and may no longer be linked with the customer network, the control processors
of the HiPath 4000 have additional LAN interfaces.

The interfaces 2 and 3 are deliberately listed separately. Many customers want a
strict separation of their IP networks for data and voice. Connection 2 must be
located in the voice NET for this type of scenario in order to communicate with the
HG 3575. This also applies for connection 1. Connection 3 can be located in the
data network. Here are no real-time requirements placed on the network. A
consolidation could have prevented interface-related prioritization and reduced
availability.
In the case of a HiPath 4000 SoftGate, it is also possible to have interfaces 2 and
3 run over a physical address.

Hardware Configurations
The requirements specified in IP Solutions > Gateways HG 3500 and HG 3575 >
Network Requirements and Network Data for IPDA LAN ports also apply to
interfaces 1 and 2.
The capacity of interface 3 must be configured so that a system version can be
completely restored from the backup server.
Assuming that one backup is performed daily and that all survivability units can
restore simultaneously and without restrictions, a minimum bit rate of 24 Kbps is
required. The maximum possible amount of data (all data is modified and must
be transferred) is then transferred in ten hours.
The backup server must have enough memory for a complete backup set. This
requires a maximum of approx. 100 MB.
cPCI
IMPORTANT: The existing DSCXL boards in HiPath 4000 communication
server and AP Emergency server including HDMO/HDCF modules will be
replaced with the new DSCXL2 server blades.

This means upgrading to cPCI server.
2.3 Simplex/Duplex
2.3.1 Feature Description
Virtual Machine
With HiPath 4000 V6, both the simplex and the duplex configuration are
implemented by means of virtual machines. The underlying operating system is
Linux.

HiPath 4000
Simplex/Duplex
Supervise the virtual machine instances for the ADPs, CCs, and HiPath 4000
Assistants/HiPath 4000 CSTAs on the own hardware machine.
In case of an error, together with the Linux High Availability Framework on the
other hardware machine it will be decided whether an ADP switchover is
necessary (duplex configuration only).
Prevent inconsistent or insecure states like, for instance, two active ADPs at
the same time (duplex configuration only) or hacker attacks.
Display and log the summarized results of the RMX startup phases for each
phase.
Start and monitor the virtual Atlantic LAN. In case of bad throughput/long
delays, it is considered defective.
Display failures of the supervised resources in time, e.g. low network quality
is too low, slow synchronization, RTM interface unavailability.

Simplex mode
This solution supports redundant LAN ports, the failure of central control (CC),
ADP, HiPath 4000 Assistant and HiPath 4000 CSTA. Also, the HiPath 4000
Administration portal will be switched over with ADP, HiPath 4000 Assistant and
HiPath 4000 CSTA.
The CCs run in hot standby mode and were supplied with continuous data and
status updates over the virtual Atlantic LAN.
The ADP, HiPath 4000 Assistant and HiPath 4000 CSTA run in warm standby
mode and need to be restarted in case of failover.
The SWU failover is independent from a failover of the other services.

Normal Operation
In normal operation ofa duplex confiuration, the virtual machines of the ADP and
the HiPath 4000 Assistant/HiPath 4000 CSTA on the primary hardware machine
are active, while the correspondant virtual machines on the secondary hardware
machine are offline. The ADP and the HiPath 4000 Assistant/HiPath 4000 CSTA,
which reside on the same hardware machine, can only change their active/offline
states together. Thus, a HiPath 4000 Assistant/HiPath 4000 CSTA can be only
active on that hardware machine on which the virtual machine for the ADP is
active.
Redundant LAN ports
The LAN ports of the Hipath 4000 Communication Server (with DSCXL2) can be
configured in hot redundant mode and connected to two redundant Ethernet
switches. L1 failure of one Ethernet switch results in hot switch-over to the
redundant Ethernet switch without loosing calls or application connectivity.
The following LAN ports are available:

A grace period license is created automatically with the first portal configuration,
which remains valid for 30 days.
A customer license must be created by specifying the MAC address (e.g. eth0 of
DSCXL2 board) and the system number in the Central License Server (CLS). The
number of licenses required is specified here. The generated ".lic" file can be
loaded into the HiPath 4000 Assistant using the "License Management"
application. The HiPath 4000 Assistant generates a codew from this for the RMX.
Licenses can be loaded and displayed in the HiPath 4000 Assistant in the
Access Management > License Management menu. Click Browse to search
for and select the license file on your PC or drives. Then confirm your selection
with Send. The license file is thereby copied to the predefined directory.

SNMP Configurator
SNMP is used to provide a standard interface for monitoring and
configuring network resources.
SNMP is based on the manager / agent model. Agents maintain
management information databases, which can be read and possibly
written by managers. This kind of communication is always initiated by
the managers. Agents are also capable of sending notification events, socalled "traps", to the managers asynchronously. Apart from these
operations, the SNMP protocol definition also includes the data model
and the network protocol.

Notification Mechanism and Usage Scenarios
How long does it take to update the Assistant database when an AMO
command is executed?
What will the user see on the Assistant until the (Informix) database is
updated?
Does the Assistant notify the users after updating its database?
Does the notification process slow down the execution of direct AMO
commands?

hipath_4000_assistant.fm
HiPath 4000 Assistant
Notification Mechanism and Usage Scenarios
Does the Assistant notify the users after updating its database?
No. If, for example, the user is looking at the configuration of station 2300 using
the Assistant, and in the meantime someone changes the configuration of that
station using AMO commands, the Assistant will update its database, but it will
not tell the user that the database has been updated. The user is now looking at
old data. If the user decides to make changes to this old data and save the
changes, it will overwrite what has just changed on the switch. Note that this is no
different from having two Assistant users trying to work on the same station at the
same time. This should never happen. An object should be modified from one
place at a time only.
Does the notification process affect the Assistant performance?
Yes. The Assistant is able to process one request at a time. While the Assistant
is processing an AMO notification, it will not be able to process requests coming
from its own user interface. In other words, a request coming from the Assistant
user will have to wait until the notification is processed. For the Assistant user, it
looks like the Assistant is running slowly, when in fact the Assistant is busy doing
something else (the notification processing).
Does the notification process slow down the execution of direct AMO
commands?
Yes. The switch can execute only one AMO command at a time. If the Assistant
is executing AMO commands to synchronize its database, AMO commands
coming from other sources will have to wait their turn.
What happens if I execute a lot of AMO commands in a short period of time,
e.g., run an AMO batch file?
There is a limited notification queue between the Assistant and the switch (it can
hold up to 25 AMO commands in its default configuration). If that notification
queue overflows because the Assistant cannot keep up with the AMO
commands, the Assistant will send a command to the switch to stop the AMO
notifications and will put its database in out-of-sync state. Notifications will remain
disabled until the next upload is executed from the Assistant (either a manual
upload or the nightly upload).
I have to execute a large AMO batch file to update a customer configuration.
How should I proceed?
Do not use the Assistant while the AMO batch file is running. If the AMO batch is
large enough, it will eventually overflow the notification queue (see What happens
if I execute a lot of AMO commands in a short period of time, e.g., run an AMO
batch file?). This will stop the notification mechanism and put the Assistant
database in out-of-sync state. If you have to use the Assistant immediately after
executing the AMO batch file, run an upload. Otherwise, just wait for the nightly
upload to do its job. In the next morning the Assistant database should be
synchronized with the switch database.

Installation and Configuration
General Notes
The HiPath 4000 software is able to run on DSCXL2 boards or, alternatively,
on regular server PC hardware.
IMPORTANT: However, local shelves/LTUs are not supported in a server PC
environment; these require the Rear Transition Module (RTM), which is only
available on DSCXL2 boards.
The HiPath 4000 Assistant components must run on the same hardware on
which the RMX-based Switching Unit (SWU) and the Administration and Data
Processor (ADP) are running.

If the time is turned back manually on the NTP server by a large time frame,
make sure that all virtual machines are shut down. If the virtual machines are
not shut down, you have to perform a restart (e.g. via the HA Resource
Manager). Otherwise, problems may arise with the virtual real-time clock.

System Backup and Restore
Feature Description
and secondly
The system backup contains all needed HiPath 4000 V6 applications including
RMX, HiPath 4000 Assistant and CSTA images as well as the configuration data.
This backup set will be stored (default) on the system hard disk.
Each backup set contains a First Install Wizard (FIW) which has to be used for
the Restore.
After a successful restore, the HiPath 4000 applications will be started
automatically in basic mode. This means only the HiPath 4000 Administration
Portal is running/accessible.
In the next step the LAN Wizard has to be started and the eth interfaces must be
checked or reconfigured. In case of the restore will be done on a new/different
hardware, then you must check the eth lan interfaces and change if necessary.
Use case
Hard disk crash - restore on new hard disks with preinstalled SLES 11

System Backup and Restore
Service Information
The restore of the new System Backup requires a preinstalled SLES 11 SP1
hard disk.
During the restore process a SLES 11 SP1 repository (e.g. SLES11 SP1
DVD) must be available.
Restrictions
The installed license files are not part of the system backup.
For the time when the HiPath 4000 Assistant system backup rpms are build,
the HiPath 4000 Assistant will be shut down. RMX and CSTA stay in service
without interruption.
The backup set of server plattform can only be restored on a server plattform
hardware and not on a DSCXL2 harwdare.
During the system backup is running no Backup & Restore via HiPath 4000
Assistant is possible and vice versa.

Leistungsmerkmalbeschreibung
8 Raid Synchronisation
8.1 Leistungsmerkmalbeschreibung
IMPORTANT: Es wird empfohlen immer zwei Festplatten im HDTR zu haben
und diese in einem Raid-Verbund zu betreiben! Der Raid-Verbund bietet einen
zustzlichen Schutz bei Hardware-Fehlern!
Vorteil
Das hat den Vorteil, dass bei Ausfall der aktuellen Festplatte (Hardware-Fehler)
eine weitere Festplatte existiert mit der der Betrieb ohne Unterbrechung
fortgefhrt werden kann.
Nachteil
Der Nachteil eines Raids ist, dass Software-Fehler auf die zweite Festplatte
vererbt werden.
8.2 Ablauf
1. Schieben Sie eine Festplatte in den oberen Schacht des HDTR. Von dieser
Festplatte wird gebootet.
2. Melden Sie sich am HiPath 4000 Administrationsportal an.
3. berprfen Sie, ob die Festplatte korrekt eingelegt und gelesen wurde.
Wechseln Sie zu Wartung > Notfall-HD.
