PRO SWITCHING SYSTEM
CAUTION
Do not delete unneeded temp files while running OpenView!
Alarm and System Event ASCII Files
The system saves the alarm log in Paradox database files OVALINS.* in the OV
directory. To save disk space between OpenView sessions, erase old alarm log files
that will not be used.
6.3 Creating a System Map
The first step in managing your Pro Switching System is to create a system map.
You can set up the system via screens and prompts. The basic concepts are
described in detail in the HP OpenView User’s Guide.
A systematic and convenient way to set up a database and map is to begin with
basic System menu items. Then proceed to the Definition screens for this System
data.
Notepads (notepad fields labeled Notes), accommodating up to 800 characters,
are provided for sites, racks, lines, communication ports, and all definitions and
operations. You can use these to record information about the network while you
are creating the database and map.
To Create a System Map
1. Log on. From the main menu, choose System, Operator Sign-On, which lets
you log onto the Pro Switching System. Enter the correct user ID and
password.
2. Open a new map. From the main menu, choose File, New. A new map
appears.
3. Name map. From the main menu, choose File, Save As....
4. Add Site Icons. From the main menu, choose Edit, Add.... The Add toolbox
appears. Select Compound Object and BlackBox from the dropdown lists to
highlight the Black Box site icon. Click-and-drag the icon onto the new empty
map. A Site Description page appears.
5. Describe Sites. On the Site Description page, enter the site name and other
appropriate information. Click on Add to Network when finished. Repeat
steps 4 and 5 to add more site icons.
