3 Using the Cartridge
This chapter provides instructions for using the Oracle Communications Network Integrity RAN and Microwave Discovery Cartridge in Network Integrity.
Creating a Discover RAN Devices Discovery Scan
The Discover RAN Devices scan is used to discover and model data of RAN devices.
The Discover RAN Devices discovery scan discovers network information and creates network entities such as physical device, logical device, rack, shelf, card, port, interface.
To create a Discover RAN Devices discovery scan:
-
Create a new scan.
See Network Integrity Online Help for more information.
-
On the General tab, from the Scan Action list, select Discover RAN Devices.
The Scan Type field displays Discovery.
-
In the Scan Action Parameters section, configure the scan with appropriate parameters.
-
(Optional) To filter the discovered Network elements by name, enter a name in the Network Element Name field and set the Network Element Name Qualifier list.
-
(Optional) To filter the discovered Network elements by type, enter the type in the Network Element Type field and set the Network Element Type Qualifier list.
-
-
On the Scope tab, specify path to the file directory.
Save and run the scan.
-
The scan discovers and models logical and physical devices.
The scan creates a device model for each logical and physical device.
Populating UIM with Discovered Data for RAN Devices
This procedure describes steps to populate UIM with network data discovered by the Discover RAN Devices action.
To populate UIM with discovered network data:
-
Create a new scan.
See Network Integrity Online Help for more information.
-
On the General tab of the Create Scan page, from the Scan Action list, select Discover RAN Devices.
The Scan Type field displays Discovery.
-
Select Detect Discrepancies.
-
In the Scan Action Parameters area, make any necessary configurations.
-
-
Save the scan.
-
Run the discovery scan.
The scan generates Entity+ discrepancies for each discovered device.
-
Right-click on the discrepancies you want to populate into UIM and select Resolve RAN and Microwave devices into UIM.
-
Click Submit.
-
Verify that UIM is populated with the discovered data.
Note:
The import action Import from UIM available in the UIM_Integration_Cartridge, can be used to import data from UIM.
Creating a Discover Microwave Devices Discovery Scan
Discover Microwave Devices scan is used to discover and model data of Microwave devices.
The Discover Microwave Devices discovery scan discovers network information and creates network entities Physical device, Logical device, shelf, card, direct card. port, interface.
To create a Discover Microwave Devices discovery scan:
-
Create a new scan.
See Network Integrity Online Help for more information.
-
On the General tab, from the Scan Action list, select Discover Microwave Devices.
The Scan Type field displays Discovery.
-
In the Scan Action Parameters section, configure the scan with appropriate parameters.
-
(Optional) To filter the discovered Network elements by name, enter a name in the Network Element Name field and set the Network Element Name Qualifier list.
-
(Optional) To filter the discovered Network elements by type, enter the type in the Network Element Type field and set the Network Element Type Qualifier list.
-
-
On the Scope tab, specify path to the file directory.
