  471.  that allow an OS/2 system to manage heterogeneous systems in a LAN environment.
  472.  An OS/2 system may also be managed by other systems that conform to the same
  473.  standards.
  474.  
  475.  The LAN NetView family of products is based on systems management
  476.  standards such as those developed by ISO (the International Organization for
  477.  Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) as
  478.  part of their work on Open Systems Interconnection (OSI).
  479.  
  480.  The primary purpose of this white paper is to provide the reader with a look
  481.  at the LAN NetView Agents and LAN NetView Agents Extended products and the
  482.  Management Information Base (MIB) they represent.
  483.  
  484.  The LAN NetView agents are a key component of the LAN NetView family of
  485.  products.  They provide systems management application developers with access
  486.  to a wide variety of objects associated with OS/2, its major subsystems (LAN
  487.  Server V3.0, Database Manager and Communications Manager), DOS V5.0 and DOS
  488.  V5.0 with Microsoft** Windows** V3.1.  In addition these agents provide
  489.  information regarding the hardware on which they are running.
  490.  
  491.  Agents are systems management applications which perform operations on
  492.  managed objects at the request of managing applications and emit
  493.  notifications on behalf of managed objects.
  494.  
  495.  IBM LAN NetView systems management applications will take advantage
  496.  of these agents.  However, and maybe more importantly, these agents may be
  497.  utilized by systems management applications written by other vendors or
  498.  customers.  The MIB defined by these agents represents a rich set of object

  510.  This paper will briefly introduce the LAN NetView concepts and products, and
  511.  then provide a more in-depth look at the MIB defined by the LAN NetView Agents
  512.  and LAN NetView Agents Extended products and the possibilities it presents for

  570.  _______________________________________________

  572.  
  573.  
  574.  
  575.  
  576.  The LAN NetView family of products is based on a series of industry
  577.  standards as mentioned previously.  This family of products provides systems
  578.  management applications and a framework.  This framework provides an enabling
  579.  platform for IBM applications as well as applications written by vendors or
  580.  customers.  The following sections will provide a brief overview of the
  581.  concepts behind the LAN NetView framework.
  582.  
  583.  
  584.  2.1  THE OBJECT-ORIENTED MODEL
  585.  ______________________________
  586.  
  587.  Communications protocols were developed to provide communications between
  588.  systems.  But for distributed systems management, communications protocols
  589.  alone are insufficient.  Distributed management programs require standard
  590.  descriptions of the resources to be managed.
  591.  
  592.  Therefore OSI adopted an object-oriented model for encapsulating these
  593.  resources and standardizing the interfaces they present to the network.
  594.  
  595.  In an object-oriented model, code and data are fused into a single entity
  596.  called a managed object.  A managed object is composed of a set of attributes
  597.  which characterize it, actions that it can perform, and notifications that it
  598.  can emit.
  599.  
  600.  In the LAN NetView environment, a managed object is an abstraction
  601.  that models some physical resource (such as a workstation) or logical
  602.  resource (such as a file system).
  603.  
  604.  Those aspects of resources that are related to the management of the resource
  605.  are accessible through the managed-object abstraction.
  606.  
  607.  A managed object is defined by :
  608.  
  609.  o   Attributes
  610.  
  611.      The attributes represent information about the object.
  612.  
  613.      Operations may be performed on objects or specific attributes of objects.
  614.      Examples of these operations are GET, SET for attribute values and CREATE
  615.      and DELETE for objects themselves.
  616.  
  617.  o   Actions
  618.  
  619.      Actions represent functions that an object can perform.
  620.  
  621.  o   Notifications
  622.  
  623.      A notification is an unsolicited message that an object sends
  624.      asynchronously to agents and managers.
  625.  
  626.  
  627.  (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1992                                              2-1
  628.  
  629.  
  630.  
  631.  
  632.  
  633.  A set of object classes and their associated attributes, actions and
  634.  notifications make up a Management Information Base (MIB).  Management
  635.  applications may then be designed to utilize the MIB in performing management
  636.  functions.
  637.  
  638.  
  639.  2.2  MANAGERS, AGENTS AND MANAGED OBJECT INTERACTION
  640.  ____________________________________________________
  641.  
  642.  A distributed systems management environment is achieved through distinct
  643.  entities called managers and agents.  This environment is similar to a
  644.  client-server model.
  645.  
  646.  An agent is the part of a distributed management program that supervises one
  647.  or more managed objects.  The agent receives requests for operations to be
  648.  performed on managed objects or requests for objects to perform certain
  649.  actions.  The agent is responsible for passing these requests to a resource
  650.  manager.  A resource manager provides the interfaces required to carry out
  651.  the specific request.
  652.  
  653.  For example, in an OS/2 environment, the LAN Server, Communications Manager,
  654.  Database manager or even the operating system itself can be considered a
  655.  resource manager.
  656.  
  657.  The agent is also responsible for emitting notifications (events/traps) when
  658.  it detects special conditions in the managed object.
  659.  
  660.  A manager is the part of distributed management program that issues requests
  661.  for actions and receives notifications.  A manager uses the services of one
  662.  or more agents.  Managers do not manage resources directly, rather they issue
  663.  requests to objects which are represented by agents.
  664.  
  665.  Figure 2-1 on page 2-3 represents the interactions between managers, agents
  666.  and managed resources.

  726.  
  727.  Each subsystem which controls a set of resources is called  a resource
  728.  manager.  Examples include:
  729.  
  730.  o   the Operating System
  731.  
  732.  o   the Communications Manager
  733.  
  734.  o   the Database Manager
  735.  
  736.  o   the LAN Server
  737.  
  738.  An agent will perform management operations on resources through API's
  739.  provided by the resource manager.
  740.  
  741.  The interfaces used between an agent and the resources it represents are not
  742.  subject to standardization.  An agent is free to use whatever interfaces are
  743.  available in the system in order to carry out operations or actions.  Even
  744.  though the framework is object-oriented, the actual interaction between the
  745.  
  746.

  748.                           Chapter 2.  The LAN NetView Framework  2-3
  749.  
  750.  
  751.  
  752.  
  753.  
  754.  agent and the resource manager may use non-object oriented interfaces.  This
  755.  interaction is completely hidden from the managing system.
  756.  
  757.  The LAN NetView architecture currently supports two different sets
  758.  of protocols and services to be used between managing and managed systems :
  759.  
  760.  o   CMIP, the Common Management Information Protocol was designed for
  761.      managing OSI networks.  The services defined  for CMIP are known as the
  762.      Common Management Information Services, or CMIS.
  763.  
  764.  o   SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol was designed for managing
  765.      TCP/IP networks and devices.
  766.  
  767.  The LAN NetView framework provides three key APIs for building
  768.  applications:
  769.  
  770.  o   The X/Open OSI-Abstract-Data Manipulation (XOM) API
  771.  
  772.  o   The X/Open Management Protocols (XMP) API
  773.  
  774.  o   The Graphic User Interface (GUI) API
  775.  
  776.  The XOM API is used to manipulate the data structures associated with
  777.  objects.
  778.  
  779.  The XMP API is used for standards-based process to process communications
  780.  between a managing system and a managed system.
  781.  
  782.  The GUI API is used by applications on the managing system to provide a
  783.  consistent user interface to all management applications in a LAN NetView
  784.  environment and to enhance the capability for seamless navigation between
  785.  systems management applications for the user.
  786.  
  787.  
  788.  2.3  STANDARDS USED BY LAN NETVIEW
  789.  ____________________________________________
  790.

  1074.  
  1075.  In Chapter 2, "The LAN NetView Framework" on page 2-1 we discussed the role of
  1076.  agents in a distributed systems management environment and in Chapter 3, "The
  1077.  LAN NetView Family of Products" on page 3-1 we described the LAN NetView Agents
  1078.  and LAN NetView Agents Extended products.
  1079.  
  1080.  This chapter will provide additional detail and introduce a few new concepts
  1081.  that are key to understanding the agents and the MIB.
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084.  4.1  RESOURCE MANAGER AGENTS
  1085.  ____________________________
  1086.  
  1087.  Through the LAN NetView Agents and LAN NetView Agents Extended products, IBM
  1088.  will define objects for the following resource managers:
  1089.  
  1090.  o   the operating system
  1091.  
  1092.      -   OS/2
  1093.  
  1094.      -   DOS V5.0
  1095.  
  1096.      -   DOS V5.0 w/ Microsoft* Windows* V3.1
  1097.  
  1098.  o   LAN Server V3.0
  1099.  
  1100.  o   Communications Manager
  1101.  
  1102.  o   Database Manager
  1103.  
  1104.  The agents will define objects and their associated attributes, actions and
  1105.  notifications related to the resource.  A summary of these agents and objects
  1106.  is provided in Appendix A, "LAN NetView MIB Summary" on page A-1.
  1107.  
  1108.  It is important to note that the different operating system agents were
  1109.  designed with as much commonality as possible.  This allows management
  1110.  applications to be written to manage any of the operating system environments
  1111.  with a minimum of operating system specific code.  Many of the same object
  1112.  classes are defined under the different operating system agents.
  1113.  
  1114.  For example, there are several object classes related to hardware which are
  1115.  defined by the operating system agents.  Therefore, it is possible to
  1116.  reference the same object class (such as Fixed Disk Drive) from a management
  1117.  application that is managing both DOS and OS/2 systems.
  1118.

  1127.  
  1128.  
  1129.  
  1130.  4.1.1  RESOURCE MANAGER OBJECTS
  1131.  
  1132.  The majority of the objects defined by the agents relate to specific physical
  1133.  or logical resources and the attributes associated with those objects can be
  1134.  mapped to specific information about those resources.  The managing application
  1135.  addresses these resources as objects.  The agent uses whatever API's are made
  1136.  available by the resource manager to access the resources and the associated
  1137.  information.
  1138.  
  1139.  Accessing the attributes is usually accomplished by a managing application
  1140.  issuing a GET or SET request to the appropriate object.  This returns or
  1141.  modifies the specific attribute.  If multiple attributes are involved, then
  1142.  this would require multiple GET or SET operations.
  1143.  
  1144.  This is fine for most management applications, but there are some cases where
  1145.  a slightly different mode of operation is required.  In these cases we will
  1146.  define special objects called Management Support Objects, which is the
  1147.  subject of the next section.
  1148.  
  1149.  
  1150.  4.1.2  MANAGEMENT SUPPORT OBJECTS (MONITOR-SCANNER)
  1151.  
  1152.  In support of the LAN NetView Monitor application or other applications
  1153.  wishing to gain access to system performance data, the agents have defined
  1154.  special objects which we will call management support objects.  The methods
  1155.  associated with these objects utilize performance instrumentation provided by
  1156.  OS/2 V2.0.  This instrumentation provides access to low level counters,
  1157.  timers and control blocks necessary for performance management.
  1158.  
  1159.  There are several reasons why performance data may need to be handled
  1160.  differently than other attributes:
  1161.  
  1162.  o   There must be synchronization of the access to different attributes.
  1163.  
  1164.      A series of GET functions to take a snapshot of multiple attributes would
  1165.      not be adequate as each would return attribute values from a different
  1166.      point in time.
  1167.  
  1168.  o   There is a requirement to monitor or scan certain counters/timers.
  1169.  
  1170.      This provides the capability to generate a notification when certain
  1171.      thresholds are reached.
  1172.  
  1173.  o   There is a requirement to log or capture certain data over time and at
  1174.      specific intervals.
  1175.  
  1176.  OS/2's performance instrumentation provides the system level functions
  1177.  required to achieve each of the above objectives.  However, implementing this
  1178.  through the standard GET/SET interfaces to the resource manager objects would
  1179.  be difficult if not impossible.
  1180.  
  1181.  Therefore a special monitor-scanner object class is provided to provide the
  1182.  necessary interfaces for a managing application.  The monitor-scanner object
  1183.  will interface directly with OS/2 to provide the functions required.
  1184.  
  1185.  
  1186.                                               Chapter 4.  LAN NetView Agents 4-2
  1187.  
  1188.  
  1189.  
  1190.  
  1191.  
  1192.  The performance information can be mapped to attributes associated with
  1193.  resource manager objects.  In fact, the MIBs associated with the OS/2 and LAN
  1194.  Server agents will define the attributes associated with the monitor-scanner
  1195.  object.  However, a managing application would not issue a GET or a SET to
  1196.  the resource manager object agent to retrieve or modify these attributes.
  1197.  
  1198.  Instead, the managing application will CREATE an instance of the
  1199.  monitor-scanner object.  In creating this instance, it will define such
  1200.  parameters as the specific attributes to monitor, the granularity period (how
  1201.  often it scans the information), thresholds, schedules and more.
  1202.  
  1203.  Once the monitor-scanner object is instantiated, the performance data will be
  1204.  gathered/monitored.  Notifications will be generated when thresholds are
  1205.  exceeded.  If a managing application wishes to retrieve the monitored
  1206.  information, it then issues a specific ACTION which will return the logged
  1207.  data.
  1208.  
  1209.  There are other management support objects related to the monitor-scanner and
  1210.  the log files that it generates.  The information related to these objects
  1211.  and how to access the information they represent will be supplied in the
  1212.  LAN NetView MIB documentation.
  1213.  
  1214.  In Appendix A, "LAN NetView MIB Summary" on page A-1 we provide a
  1215.  summary of the LAN NetView MIBs.  We do not specifically cover the
  1216.  monitor-scanner object.  The information it represents is listed as
  1217.  attributes of the objects defined by the OS/2 and LAN Server agents.
  1218.  
  1219.  We handled the attributes in this way in order to more easily summarize the
  1220.  available information.  The actual process for accessing the individual
  1221.  attributes (either through the resource manager object or the monitor scanner
  1222.  object) is beyond the scope of this white paper.

  1260.  
  1261.  This chapter will provide the reader with a look at the MIB that has been
  1262.  defined by and is supported by the LAN NetView Agents and LAN NetView Agents
  1263.  Extended products.
  1264.  
  1265.  This rich set of object classes will allow applications to be written that
  1266.  take advantage of the IBM supplied agents.  This will relieve application
  1267.  developers of the requirement to write their own agents and will increase
  1268.  consistency across applications developed independently.
  1269.  
  1270.  This chapter should not be considered to be a comprehensive look at all of
  1271.  the available attributes, actions and notifications defined by the LAN NetView
  1272.  agents' MIB, but rather a sampling that represents a subset of those
  1273.  provided.
  1274.  
  1275.  We will present this information by looking at five primary systems
  1276.  management functional areas:
  1277.  
  1278.  o   Operations Management
  1279.  
  1280.  o   Configuration Management
  1281.  
  1282.  o   Problem Management
  1283.  
  1284.  o   Performance Management
  1285.  
  1286.  o   Inventory Management
  1287.  
  1288.  Though most of these areas are addressed in part by IBM LAN NetView
  1289.  applications, customers may desire additional management applications which
  1290.  meet their specific needs.
  1291.  
  1292.  The primary objective of IBM's agent design team was to provide support for
  1293.  the monitoring and control of the operating systems and subsystems.
  1294.  
  1295.  The secondary objective was to monitor and control specific resources owned
  1296.  by the operating systems and subsystems.
  1297.  
  1298.  Each of these objectives were addressed in light of the five functional areas
  1299.  listed above.

  1349.  5.1.1  MONITORING THE STATUS OF RESOURCES
  1350.  
  1351.  The resources within the network that require monitoring can include both
  1352.  hardware and software.
  1353.  
  1354.  When monitoring the status of resources within the network, it is desirable
  1355.  to be able to receive changes in status through unsolicited notifications.
  1356.  It is equally desirable to be able to explicitly query the status of a
  1357.  particular resource.  Both of these capabilities are supported by the
  1358.  LAN NetView agents.
  1359.  
  1360.  The ISO/IEC 10165-2 (X.721): Structure of Management Information - Definition
  1361.  of Management Information specification defines the state attributes listed
  1362.  below.  The LAN NetView agents will use these states as applicable.
  1363.  
  1364.  o   ADMINISTRATIVE STATE
  1365.  
  1366.      -   the resource is prohibited (locked)
  1367.      -   permitted for existing users (shutting down)

  1395.      One or more of the above states may be applicable to a particular
  1396.      resource at any moment in time.
  1397.  
  1398.  o   USAGE STATE
  1399.  
  1400.      -   the resource is currently not in use (idle)
  1401.      -   in use and has enough capacity to accommodate additional users
  1402.          (active)
  1403.      -    in use but does not have enough capacity to accommodate additional
  1404.          users (busy).
  1405.  
  1406.  In addition, IBM has defined additional states that are resource specific and
  1407.  are not covered by those defined above.
  1408.

  1450.  
  1451.  In addition to querying the operational status of a resource, an operations
  1452.  management program can issue a GET operation to retrieve object attributes
  1453.  which contain information about the operational characteristics of managed
  1454.  resources.
  1455.  
  1456.  The following list provides examples of some of the objects and attributes
  1457.  that provide operational information.  Many attributes can also be altered
  1458.  through a SET command issued to the agent.
  1459.  
  1460.  o   Logical Volumes : Volume Size, Allocation information, Utilization.

  1651.  
  1652.  The agents will generate notifications for the creation or deletion of some
  1653.  resources and will generate notifications for changes to certain attributes
  1654.  such as configuration parameters.
  1655.  
  1656.  In addition, there is a 'Monitored File' object class that will allow an
  1657.  agent to monitor critical files (such as configuration files) and emit
  1658.  notifications if they are changed.
  1659.  
  1660.  
  1661.  5.2.4  CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
  1662.  
  1663.  The LAN NetView MIB provides the prerequisite object class definitions to
  1664.  develop a powerful configuration management application which can access most
  1665.  configuration parameters within a managed system.  The capability to be
  1666.  alerted to changes to 'monitored files' provides a key function for
  1667.  identifying changes to configuration files on key systems within the network.

  1719.  5.3.1  MONITORING RESOURCES
  1720.  
  1721.  Agents can send 'heartbeat' notifications on behalf of monitored resources.
  1722.  This allows for recognition that an agent is or is not operable.
  1723.  
  1724.  Agents will send notifications as objects are created or deleted.  For
  1725.  instance, a notification will be generated when the Communications Manager
  1726.  becomes active on a node.
  1727.  
  1728.  
  1729.  5.3.2  ANALYZING RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS
  1730.  
  1731.  It is the responsibility of the managing application to analyze the
  1732.  notifications it receives from agents in order to help determine the cause of
  1733.  failure.
  1734.  
  1735.  Examples of the type of notifications that are generated by the agents on
  1736.  behalf of the managed resources are listed below:
  1737.  
  1738.  o   LAN Server
  1739.      -   Quality of service alarms : Network I/O error threshold reached, disk
  1740.          drive nearing capacity, audit log full, etc.
  1741.      -   Equipment alarms : Fault Tolerance system fixed a bad sector, Fault
  1742.          Tolerance system detected a difference between the contents of the
  1743.          primary and the secondary partitions of a mirrored fixed-disk drive,
  1744.          etc.
  1745.      -   Environmental Alarms : LAN Server has detected multiple failed
  1746.          password-entry, multiple unauthorized resource-access attempts, etc..

  1753.  
  1754.  
  1755.  
  1756.  
  1757.      -   Quality of service alarm : Error log has reached its maximum size,
  1758.          redirecter has reached the configured threshold for a specified
  1759.          resource
  1760.      -   Processing alarm : Internal processing error, resources not
  1761.          available, etc.
  1762.  
  1763.      Detailed information about each error condition will be transmitted in
  1764.      the notification.
  1765.  o   Communications Manager
  1766.      -   APPN node : Insufficient storage for intermediary session setup (only
  1767.          by APPN network node), SNA protocol error, etc.
  1768.      -   LAN adapter used for SNA : open failure detected by token-ring lobe ,
  1769.          CSMACD bus inoperative
  1770.      -   SDLC adapter used for SNA : Link error due to the remote link station
  1771.          address, link error due to bad line, etc.
  1772.  
  1773.      Error conditions that normally generate SNA alerts in the Communications
  1774.      Manager will cause the CM agent to generate a notification to a managing
  1775.      system.
  1776.  
  1777.      The notification carried information about the event ( probable cause,
  1778.      specific problem, severity, proposed repair actions), and the problem
  1779.      data (product IDs, alert type, failures cause).

  1782.      -   State Changes
  1783.      -   Creation/Deletion of Objects
  1784.  
  1785.      Notifications will include the SQL return code if applicable.
  1786.  
  1787.  
  1788.  5.3.3  CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
  1789.  
  1790.  Many of the capabilities discussed under other functional areas such as
  1791.  operations management and configuration management apply equally as well
  1792.  within problem management.  Once a problem has been detected and the cause
  1793.  determined, operations or actions are typically performed to carry out the
  1794.  problem resolution.
  1795.  
  1796.  For example, a configuration change might be required with a system restart
  1797.  to follow.  These capabilities are addressed in the sections relating to
  1798.  configuration and operations management.
  1799.  
  1800.  
  1801.  5.3.4  PROBLEM MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
  1802.  
  1803.  The LAN NetView agents provide a rich set of resource monitoring and
  1804.  notification capabilities across all resources.  The capabilities exist to
  1805.  perform corrective actions once the proper resolution has been determined.

  1850.  5.4.1  MONITORING SYSTEMS AND ISOLATING PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS
  1851.  
  1852.  In monitoring performance as well as isolating potential problems, it is key
  1853.  to be able to receive notifications as thresholds on performance related
  1854.  resources are reached.  It must also be possible to continually monitor or
  1855.  GET values of key performance indicators such as counters and timers.
  1856.  
  1857.  The list below shows some of the information that may be monitored through
  1858.  the LAN NetView agents.
