Commissioning Objects
Commissioning is the action required to notify CEMF to start activelymonitoring
the object. Only the following C65/76M objects can be commissioned and
decommissioned by the user:
•Network Element
•Supervisor Module
•Ethernet Module
•Switch Fabric Module
•FlexWAN Module
•Content Switching Module
•Port Adapter
•OSM Module
When applied to these objects, the commissioning process is propagated down to
all the object’s children. For example, if the Network Element object is
commissioned, all the C65/76M objects are also commissioned. If only a
SupervisorModule object is commissioned, then its Ethernet Interface objects are
also commissioned.
When the Network Element object is commissioned, a subchassis discovery is
started to determine the contents of the switch. If objects on the switch are
discovered that do not currently exist in CEMF, then these objects are
automatically created and populated. For example, an Ethernet module would be
automatically populated with the appropriate number of interfaces when it is
discovered. If the object already exists in CEMF, then a type match is made
against the CEMF object and the one found during discovery. If a mismatch is
found, the object is placed into the Mismatched state and an error is generated. If
there is no mismatch, then the object is commissioned successfully and CEMF
begins to monitor it.
Figure 4-1 shows the CEMF Map Viewerapplication with the C65/76M software
installed. When an object is deployed in CEMF, the objects are automatically
added to the Network, Physical, and the appropriate Manager Views. In this
example, the NetworkElement objects are called “may” and “morar,” the Chassis
objects are called “may-Chassis” and “morar-Chassis,”and the Software objects
are called “may-Software” and “morar-Software.”
