Access-in management unit 102 among Fig. 1 has the function of two aspects: the UP in the ups system is carried out life cycle management and scheduling; Accept the order that NMS initiates, the distribution of the line command of going forward side by side is distributed to corresponding UP module with order.
And as the network management system that has adopted comprehensive network management access management system of the present invention, the ups system deployment way is flexible, such as UPS among Fig. 1 multiple deployment way is arranged:
One, ups system as the operation of process independently, is not deployed in the NMS system and goes, and the NMS system moves in a process, such as the UPS3 among Fig. 1.When the scale of NMS management is less, in the few situation of hardware resource, this mode can take full advantage of hardware resource, between the minimizing process and the expense of machinery compartment communication.Owing to being in the same place with the NMS process, so it is slightly tight to be coupled to a certain extent, the start and stop of system also will be together, and it is limited that this mode mainly is applicable to hardware resource, and in the less situation of management scale, so have applicable occasion.
Two, ups system is as independently process operation, and the physical machine of operation is in the same place with NMS, such as the UPS1 among Fig. 1, UPS2.When the hardware resource of system is well-to-do, abundant such as many CPU, internal memory, can take full advantage of the resource of system as the multi-process operation, UPS process independent operating has reduced the stability influence to the NMS process, the startup of program, stop and the operation of renewal and NMS process independent, maintainability has also strengthened.
Three, ups system is as independently process operation, and physical machine and the NMS of operation are not together.The network size of system management is large, and can use this scheme when being comprised of two above machines.Ups system can also be as a plurality of procedure deployment on identical or different physical machine simultaneously, and the UP type of moving among the different UPS is different.This networking mode is higher to the utilance of hardware resource, and the autgmentability of system is also higher.
As the ups system of independent process operation even can be deployed to place nearest on the EMS region (same machine room, even on the logical machine), UPS and EMS can be one-one relationships, also can be the relations (managing a plurality of EMS in the machine room nearby) of one-to-many.The network bandwidth is narrower between EMS and NMS, and ups system and EMS are deployed in together, can reduce the bandwidth requirement that NMS administrative institute needs.
Four, mixed deployment pattern, the three kinds of modes in front exist in the NMS system implementation plan simultaneously, configure the most flexibly according to performance.
Consult shown in Figure 3ly, the communication among the present invention between ups system and the NMS system can be undertaken by general communications protocol, such as: CORBA, SOAP etc.Communication protocol stack provides synchronously, asynchronous command/respond module, and the message communication mode also is provided.Communications protocol can be take TCP/IP as the basis, and the two ends of communication can be in same process, also can be in different processes, and for the deployment way of native system support provides communication to support the basis.Ups system provides the configuration feature of PORT COM, when a plurality of UPS operate on the same physical machine, with listening port stagger the configuration namely can realize.
Consult shown in Figure 4, UP carries out the type division according to the EMS interface type of access: every type UP docks with the class EMS that special interface is provided, every type UP can have a plurality of execution modes, such as the UP of CDMAR_EMS type in the table, corresponding same type but be positioned at two EMS of different geographical respectively.Each UP carries out adaptive and communication with a corresponding EMS.UP has general attribute, and a plurality of proprietary attributes also can be arranged.UP sign (UP ID) is particularly arranged, by can be in the overall situation unique UP of sign of UP ID in the general-purpose attribute; UP type (UPType), the UP of same type has identical UP Type, corresponding one of a UP Type realizes module, realized the function of each UP by this realization module, specifically, this realization module can comprise a cover code, thereby UPF just can determine that according to UP Type the actual UP that these UP needs load realizes module.
Only exemplarily show the type of several UP in the table, and and the corresponding EMS interface type of each UP and UP ID, certainly, in concrete the application, the naming method of UP type, UP ID can also have other various ways, can select according to using needs, the present invention is not limited this.
Consult shown in Figure 5ly, in one embodiment of the invention, UPF has stipulated the unit function that each UP must provide, thereby the function that provides behind the adaptive EMS of unified UP has been provided, and manages and operate UP in consistent mode.Certainly, the interface that each UP must realize in the practical application and the function that provides also can have other configuration, such as adopting in the function shown in Figure 4 one or more, also can adopt other function, and the present invention is not limited this.The function that function shown in the figure has UPF and UP to realize:
Wherein the function of UPF realization comprises:
1, UPFService UPF module management service function
2, UPAdaptor UPF stipulates the adapter functions that each UP must realize
3, UpStatus UP ontology of states function
The function that UP realizes comprises two kinds, and a kind of is the private adapter practical function, and a kind of is the General adaptive function.
Wherein, the private adapter practical function comprises:
1, IPUPAdaptor provides the UP adapter practical function of the EMS of certain managing I P equipment;
2, Tmf814Adapotr provides the UP adapter practical function of the EMS of Tmf814 standard function
Wherein, UPHandler is UP adaption function General adaptive function, comprising:
1, UPCmHandler UP configuration is adaptive;
2, UPFmHandler UP alarm is adaptive;
3, UPPmHandler UP performance is adaptive;
Specifically, the function that UP need to provide can realize by software, specifically is divided into two classes:
1, the relevant method of UP life cycle
LoadConfig () UPF offers each UP environmental parameter, informs namely UP will realize the UP of what type, and what UP ID is, the environmental parameter and the value thereof that need during the UP operation;
Start () UPF starts the UP operation;
Stop () UPF stops the operation of UP;
GetStatus () UPF is the communication state between the current and EMS by the method inquiry UP;
2, the adaption function method of UP
GetHanler () UPF obtains the adaptive realization of UP concrete function by the method, such as the adaptive realization of configuration, alarm and performance.Such as the UPHandler function among Fig. 5, for different adaption functions, further abstract is corresponding configuration adaption function UPCmHandler, alarm adaption function UPFmHandler and performance adaption function UPPmHandler, and each UP provides specific implementation by realizing concrete function adaption function.The agreement that these specific implementations provide according to EMS north orientation adaption function is carried out adaptive, and common agreement has CORBA, SNMP, TL1, FTP etc.
With reference to shown in Figure 6, be the method flow diagram that the described comprehensive network management access management system of application of the present invention carries out network management, described method comprises:
Step 601: the access adaptation module is carried out type according to the Element management system that accesses divide;
Step 602: after access adaptation module and Element management system are adaptive, the order that Element management system is managed that the reception comprehensive network management sends, and described order is distributed to the access adaptation module adaptive with described Element management system;
Step 603: trigger the access adaptation module and carry out the function corresponding with described order, Element management system is managed.
In one embodiment of the invention, described method also comprises: described access adaptation module is carried out life cycle management and scheduling.
Wherein, described access adaptation module is carried out the function corresponding with described order, comprising:
The adapter practical function of the Element management system of managing I P equipment, the adapter practical function that the Element management system of Tmf814 standard function is provided, General adaptive function are provided;
Wherein, the General adaptive function comprises: configure adaptive, alarm is adaptive, performance is adaptive.
In an embodiment of the inventive method, UP has three kinds of running statuses in the runtime, and UPF is responsible for carrying out triggering and the maintenance of UP state transition, and the running status object is the UPStatus function among Fig. 4.These three kinds of states are:
Halted state (Stopped) shows that UP is in halted state, does not currently also set up communication with EMS and is connected;
Starting state (Starting) shows that UP just is at starting state, and set up in the process that communication is connected with EMS this moment;
Running status (Running) shows that UP moves, and is connected with the communication of EMS normally this moment to set up, and can send order or accept message to EMS.
Consult shown in Figure 7ly, the migration between the UP state and trigger condition thereof are:
Stopped is to the Starting state: the initial start UP of system, and perhaps time is up because occurring restarting after link down is stopped with EMS for UP, and UPF triggers by calling UP start method;
Starting starts unsuccessfully (the start method is returned unusually) to Stopped state: UP.For example, because network is unreachable, can't sets up communication with EMS and be connected;
Starting successfully starts (the start method is normally returned) to Running state: UP.At run duration, heartbeat detection function detects that link normally then keeps the Running state between UP and the EMS;
Running is to the Stopped state: to detect between UP and the EMS link unusual when the heartbeat measuring ability, the perhaps artificial order of initiating to stop the UP operation in the system, and UPF triggers by calling UP stop method.
Native system has UP heartbeat detection mechanism, by this machine-processed raising system and the reliability and stability of docking the communication between EMS.After communication link went wrong between UP and the EMS, system can attempt recovering automatically.Consult shown in Figure 8ly, its strategy is as follows:
UPF regularly carries out the poll of UP state, when finding between UP and the EMS that the strategy of taking UP to stop and restarting appears when unusual in communication.The blanking time of restarting UP, the strategy by deferred periodic accumulation carried out, and after restarting first the UP failure, will reattempt and restart (t is short period time, and such as 2 minutes, time value was configurable in system) next time after the interval 2t time.Start still failure next time, will after the interval 4t time, reattempt next time again and restart, namely restart unsuccessfully afterwards with interval 2 at every turn
nReattempt after the t time (number of times of n for once attempting starting) and restart, until trial cycle when reaching largest interval cycle T (be generally 1 hour, its value is also configurable in system) (, 2
nT>T), gap periods is T just.
Adopt this strategy, behind the communication link generation obstacle between this comprehensive network management connecting system and EMS (interrupt such as network, EMS is because fault or maintenance reasons operation suspension etc.), system can attempt automatically recovering communication and connect, without manual intervention.The strategy of taking the deferred cycle is in order to reduce fault and to exist for a long time, reduces overhead and the necessity of fault recovery.
As seen, the present invention can be implemented in the combination of software, hardware or software and hardware, can be implemented on the machine, also can be implemented on the different machines.Comprehensive network management access management system of the present invention provides flexibly deployment way, can be deployed in the process with Integrated Network Management System, also can with Integrated Network Management System as different procedure deployment and operate on the identical machine, can also with Integrated Network Management System as the process that operates on the different machines.Itself also can have multiple implementation the comprehensive network management access management system, such as the operation of the multi-process on a machine or many machines.
