under HP OpenView . It provides the means to administer the AAC device, accept traps from it, and gather
performance data.
This feature document provides instructions on:
How to prepare for and install the OneVision AAC Manager software on both HP and Sun workstations
How to remove the installed software if necessary
How to assist and/or accelerate the process of discovering AAC devices for the HP OpenView Map
How to cut through to the AAC Terminal Interface
How to upload or download configuration images from or to the AAC
Which SNMP traps are generated by the AAC
This document assumes that you have a working knowledge of UNIX and HP OpenView. If you are not familiar
with the general use of HP OpenView, refer to your HP OpenView documentation for a description of the user
interface.
Features
The AAC Manager provides the following features:
Discovery and addition of AAC devices on a network map
Cut-through from HP OpenView to the AAC for configuration, diagnostics, and device performance
evaluation
AAC configuration image transfer allowing storage of AAC device options on HP OpenView for use in
disaster recovery

Page 2: Installation Information
Installation Information This section provides information you need to know prior to installing the AAC Manager software. Hardware Requirements The AAC Manager runs under HP OpenView on either an HP or Sun workstation that is connected to the AAC device. The AAC device must have firmware revision 3.2. Any additional hardware requirements are the same as those of HP OpenView. -
Page 3: Installing The Application
Installing the Application This section describes how to install the AAC Manager software on both HP and Sun workstations. Installing on HP Systems To install the AAC Manager on HP systems, perform the steps below. (Refer to your HP OpenView documentation for detailed descriptions of the HP OpenView commands.) To abort the installation process, use the UNIX interrupt key (for example, Control-D or Delete). -

4. Create a directory in a path other than /usr. This directory is temporary and only needed for the installation process. 5. TYPE: cd <path of directory created in Step 4> 6. Insert the first AAC Manager diskette. 7. TYPE: bar xvf /dev/rfd0 8. -
Page 5: Discovering Devices
Discovering Devices This section describes how HP OpenView discovers the AAC device and how you can accelerate that process. Once the AAC is assigned an IP address and is physically connected to the HP OpenView host, HP OpenView discovers it automatically. With large networks, however, discovery can take a long time. You may want to accelerate the process by one of two methods. -
Page 6: Accessing The Terminal Interface
Accessing the Terminal Interface The Terminal Interface provides the ability to connect directly to the AAC. The Terminal Interface provides VT100 terminal access over a telnet session. The Terminal Interface is limited to one session at a time per physical device, although multiple sessions can be established concurrently to multiple devices, each with its own Terminal Interface window. - Page 7 Transferring Configuration Images Hardware and software options selected via the Terminal Interface for an AAC are stored in a configuration image on the device. The configuration image can be transferred (uploaded) from the AAC device to the HP OpenView host and stored in a UNIX file. Conversely, a configuration image can be transferred from the HP OpenView host to the AAC device (downloaded).
