What is OpenLane Performance Wizard?

OpenLanet Performance Wizardt Version 4.2 provides you with a set of tools

that you can use to monitor, analyze, test, and troubleshoot various network

devices. Using the Performance Wizard, you can:

H Obtain real time and historical data on various network devices. All

information collected is compiled into charts, based on chart type, and the

information is viewable as graphs.

Use these charts to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot networks that use

Frame Relay, T1, DDS, Hotwirer DSL, MVL network devices, and other

network devices that support MIB-2 Frame Relay Transmission (RFC-1315),

DS1 Transmission (RFC-1406), DS-3 Transmission (RFC-1407), Frame

Relay Services (RFC-1604) MIB variables, and Paradyne Enterprise MIBs.

H Create and deliver Web-based historical reports to customers that provide

service level verification, capacity planning, and trending data to use to

troubleshoot performance problems.

Web-based reports are available for FrameSaverr SLV devices only.

H Perform Diagnostic Tests that enable you to check the integrity and

performance of network devices, and to some extent, the network itself.

Available tests include the ability to run loopback and pattern tests, as well as

perform a Lamp Test, Connectivity Test, or check EIA Leads Status.

This feature is available for FrameSaver devices only.

This chapter provides you with the information you need to install and start the

OpenLane Performance Wizard application on a variety of operating platforms.

NOTE:

OpenLane Performance Wizard Real Time reports support all Paradyne

devices, as well as other devices, that support standard MIB-2 and Frame

Relay MIBs.

Installing the Java Runtime Environment

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) can be installed on your platform before

you install the Performance Wizard or installed during the OpenLane automated

installation. The following are the supported JREs:

H Solaris requires JRE Version 1.1.7

H HP-UX requires JRE Version 1.1.7.01

H AIX requires JRE Version 1.1.6

H Windows NT requires JRE Version 1.1.8

To determine if the JRE is installed on your system, open a command prompt

window and type the following command:

For Windows: jre

or for HP-UX: jre -version

If the JRE is installed, a message similar to the following is displayed:

Java(tm) Runtime Loader Version 1.1.8

Usage: jre [-options] classname [arguments]

Options . . .

If you do not receive a similar message, consult the documentation for your

operating platform to ensure that  JRE executable has been included in your

PATH. Should you need to install the JRE, you can download the software from a

site on the World Wide Web that is applicable to your operating system.

Integrating with OpenView or NetView

The Performance Wizard can optionally be integrated with Hewlett Packard (HP)

OpenView (herein referred to as OpenView) or NetView, depending on your

operating platform. Integrating with OpenView or NetView gives you the option of

starting the Performance Wizard, launching Real Time charts, or starting

Diagnostic Tests from within these applications.

The following are the operating platforms and versions of OpenView or NetView

that are compatible with the Performance Wizard:

H Solaris and HP-UX with HP OpenView Version 5.0 or 6.0

H AIX with NetView/AIX Version 4.1 and 5.1

H Windows NT and Windows 95 with HP OpenView Professional Suite D.03.01

OpenView or NetView must be installed on your system, but not running, if you

want to integrate OpenView or NetView with Performance Wizard.

Using Default Paths

During installation, you must accept the OpenLane Performance Wizard defaults

if you want to integrate Performance Wizard with OpenView or NetView. If the

default destination is used, integrating with OpenView or NetView occurs

automatically during the installation. Defaults paths are:

H For Solaris and HP-UX:

/opt/OV/pdn/PerfWiz

H For AIX:

/usr/OV/pdn/PerfWiz

H For Windows 95/NT:

c:\pdn\PerfWiz
