Status Checking; Retrieving Objects; Running Multiple Probes; Shutting Down The Probe - IBM Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Nortel CNM Reference Manual

The FTP command is run in the user's home directory. For FTP users other than root, you
must change the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to
enable the probe to locate the security IRP file; for example, if the FTP user is norteluser,
the home directory for this user will be /home/norteluser. In this case, you must change
the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to:
../../opt/nortel/config/3GPP/NortelSecurityIrpAgent.ior

Status checking

The probe checks the status of the IRP agent every 60 seconds. You can change this
frequency if required using the Agentheartbeat property.

Retrieving objects

If the Resynch property is set to true, the probe initially receives a list of all active alarms
from the AlarmIRP server. The probe then connects to the NotificationIRP server and uses
the CORBA notification push model to receive new alarms from the server as they are
generated. If the Resynch property is set to false, the probe only receives new alarms.

Running multiple probes

You can run multiple instances of the Probe for Nortel CNM. For each instance running,
you must specify a different port to which the server listens using the ORBLocalport
property.

Shutting down the probe

To stop an instance of the probe, you must issue a stop signal to the process associated with
that probe instance.

Timeout

The Probe for Nortel CNM has a timeout facility that allows it to disconnect from the system
if there is no activity for a predefined amount of time. You can specify how long the probe
waits before disconnecting using the Timeout property.
