  1. Q-Advisor Quick Start System Administration and Basic Functionality Version 4.0 – September 2007

  2. Agenda • Q-Advisor Architecture and Overview • System Administration • Network Probe Configuration and Management • Reporting

  3. Q-Advisor Architecture and Overview Graphical User Interface is browser based for easy access from anywhere on the network. Multiple access, user/group/password security for tests and result data. Web Services Alarms To Other OSS RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Operating System MySQL 5 Relational DataBase Scalability is ensured RDBMS SOAP/XML Northbound and Southbound interfaces for integration with other systems. Web Client Collector Flexible collection of results from multiple tests and sources—low impact on the network. Q-Agent Voice KPI Video KPI Data KPI

  4. Basic Connectivity eth1 eth0 Q-xxx Network Probe TestNetwork ManagementNetwork eth0 eth0 eth1 Q-Advisor Server Q-xxx Network Probe

  5. Log Into the Q-Advisor Using a Browser Open a browser window from the desktop of a PC connected to the Q-Advisor, then enter the following Web address: http://<server_name>:8080/q-advisor<enter> Log in using the default usernameroot and passwordimedia,then clicktheLoginbutton. Note: The password is case-sensitive

  6. Q-Advisor Main Screen Main Menu Bar SLM and KPI Status Latest Alarms Network Probes Status Q-Advisor System Status

  7. Main Menu Bar • The Main Menu Bar consists of drop down menus organized by function: • System Admin: All tasks necessary to configure and manage the Q-Advisor • Q-Probe: All tasks necessary to configure and manage the network probes • IPTV: All tasks necessary to create and run IPTV tests, and manage the results • VoIP/SIP: All tasks necessary to create and run VoIP and SIP tests, and manage the results • Data: All tasks necessary to create and run Data tests, and manage the results • Note: The IPTV, VoIP/SIP and Data menus follow the same structure and are self-containedSymmetricom offers separate QuickStarts for the IPTV, VoIP/SIP, and Data applications

  8. System Administration - Setup

  9. System Administration - Alarms Sample SNMP Output V-Factor_warning .1.3.6.1.4.1.20316.1.2 "QoSmetrics_trap" majorSLM: $1 for scenario $7 channel $2 on NetWarrior $3 has warning V-Factor alarm. V-Factor value is $4 MOS_severe .1.3.6.1.4.1.20316.1.3 "QoSmetrics_trap" criticalSLM: $1 for scenario $7 channel $2 on NetWarrior $3 has severe MOS alarm. MOS value is $4 16 separate groups of SLM/KPI settings, can be renamed

  10. Network Probes

  11. Network Probe Activity Select Q-Probe>Managementto see the status of the network probes. You can configure a test using any network probe that shows a status ofUP. Additional information on thenetwork probes is available by clicking on the link. Probe Identity and Location Version Numbers Probe Time Source, Software Release, Configuration and Ports Probe Event Logs

  12. Network Probe Updates Network Probes are remotely managed and updated. To update the Network Probe Software: Select all the Network Probes to be updated, using the check boxes First, browse to the “Application” update file on your workstation, named:netapp-4.0.0000xx-tar.gz select it, and hit the button After approximately one minute, the network probe will automatically restart(verify by the network probe Status changing from DOWN to UP) Next, browse to the “Kernel” update file on your workstation, named:kernel-4.0.0000xx-tar.gz select it, and hit the button Finally, reboot the Network Probe by hitting the button. Verify the changes by clicking on the link, and checking the Application and Kernel Version Numbers.

  13. Network Probe Discovery To find the probes, pick Q-Probe>Discovery from the menu bar. Enter the IP address range for the probes. Note: subnet masks will allow the discovery of multiple probes. Click Start Auto-Discovery. Q-Advisor will discover the Q-xxx Network Probes, display them as they are found, and stop by itself.

  14. Network Probe Configuration - Ports

  15. Network Probe Configuration – Time Source

  16. Reporting - Scheduling Reports are created, scheduled, and automatically run every day, week or month. Options are: E-mail address for report recipientsSchedule: Daily, Weekly, or MonthlyPaper format: Letter or A4

  17. Reporting - Report Template Default Report Templates are supplied, users may create their own templates.

  18. Reporting - Scheduled Reports

  19. Set the Q-Advisor's Local Time Log into the Q-Advisor (shell, not GUI) as root. Navigate to /usr/share/zoneinfo (cd /usr/share/zoneinfo ). Select the continent and city pair that best matches your location, such as Europe and Roma. Copy the time zone to the system. For example, for Europe and Roma, enter cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Roma /etc/localtime Update the java environment by completing the following: Add the time information to the /etc/profile file. For example, for Europe and Roma, enter export TZ=“Europe/Roma" Enter the following to execute the change: . /etc/profile service tomcat stop service tomcat start Log into the Q-Advisor GUI, select System Admin > Setup >Q-Advisor; select Local vs. UTC Time; click the Update button. Verify that the change occurred by checking the Server Date updated on your Q-Advisor (System Admin > Scheduler) is the easiest place to check To change the local time in the Q-Advisor, use a monitor and keyboard, or a SSH (Secure Shell) connection, to the server and follow the steps below.

  20. Backup the Q-Advisor Database To backup the Q-Advisor database called qosmetrix_v40 in a file named backup: Note: Make sure no test scenarios are running and all users are logged off before proceeding. Using a keyboard and monitor, or an SSH connection to the Q-Advisor, log in as root. At the # prompt, enter: # mysqldump –unetadvsr –pimedia123 qosmetrix_v40 > backup<Enter> To restore a Q-Advisor database backup from a file named backup: Prepare mysql first: # mysql –unetadvsr -pimedia123 qosmetrix_v40 -A<Enter>mysql> drop database qosmetrix_v40<Enter>mysql> create database qosmetrix_v40<Enter> mysql> quit<Enter>Bye Then, perform the restore:# mysql –unetadvsr –pimedia123 qosmetrix_v40 <backup<Enter>

  21. Change the IP Address for Eth0 NOTE:You’ll need to use a monitor, keyboard, and vi editor to complete this procedure. Login in as root Enter cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts Enter vi ifcfg-eth0 In the eth0 file, change the network, netmask, gateway, and IP address as required for your network. The following shows example entries: DEVICE=eth0 #BOOTPROTO=dhcp BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes BROADCAST=10.100.255.255 IPADDR=10.100.17.230 NETMASK=255.255.0.0 NETWORK=10.100.0.0 GATEWAY=10.100.0.1 Save the file, and then restart the network: service network restart
