General 8000 Intelligent Network Manager (8000 INM) SR6.0 has been designed to use Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise relational database. With this design it is possible to build a flexible system that easily adapts to changes in a managed network and to changes in the organization of network management tasks. The supported 8000 INM system configurations are listed in the following. • Single Server Configuration (SSC) • Small and medium-sized networks with a limited number of users • Dual Server Configuration (DSC) • Medium-sized networks • Multi-server Configuration • Scalable configuration to meet various network and operation requirements For more detailed information on the different supported con figurations, refer to 8000 Intelligent Network Manager Software Installation Manual. 8000 Intelligent Network Manager can adapt to centralized or distributed management schemes, and can grow when the needs of an operator develop. An operator can minimize startup costs in a smaller Coriant network by managing their entire network with a single server system con figuration. When the needs of an operator and their network grow, new management workstations and servers can be added at any time to build up to a multi-server 8000 INM system con figuration.
8000 Intelligent Network Manager may work on other types of machine con figurations than the speci fied ones, but it cannot be guaranteed. The requirements in this document apply to new purchases only. Coriant also requires existing customers to follow up with this document. When planning to change some part of the 8000 INM system con figuration, it is to be done according to the requirements of this document. Check that you always use the most recent version of this document. Before updating the 8000 INM system, contact Coriant Customer Services.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the Norton (Symantec) antivirus program in your workstations and servers. Norton may affect the performance of servers.
8000 Intelligent Network Manager has been designed and tested to be the only application running on the computers. Running other applications on the same computers is not supported and Coriant strongly recommends against it.

It is recommended that all the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager server computers (Database Server, Communication Servers, Management Servers, DXX Servers and Recovery Server) are located in the same LAN segment to provide a more reliable operation. However, 8000 INM workstations can be distributed to different locations using routers. For more information, refer to the hardware and software requirements in chapter 5 Computer Requirements for 8000 Intelligent Network Manager . The recommendation of the maximum number of workstations is based on the Coriant evaluation of the 8000 INM system performance. Con figuration of the servers and workstations and the DCN network is required to ful fill at least the minimum requirements of the large networks described in chapters 3 DCN, LAN and LAN-IC Requirements and 5 Computer Requirements for 8000 Intelligent Network Manager . Several internal and external factors such as the functions utilized for provisioning and the amount of collected PMS data set memory and CPU capacity requirements for the system. Additionally, the quality of DCN and the number of managed nodes may affect the overall performance of the system and the total maximum number of workstations can vary. The tables below show the recommendations for the maximum number of workstations and the maximum number of workstations per server.

A maximum of 30 000 Coriant network elements is supported. When calculating the number of network elements in the system, the number of other objects may also have an impact on the required hardware. For example, it is supposed that there are on average 5 Network Terminating Units (NTUs) per node. If you have more than 5 NTUs per node, use the following formula: number of NTUs/5 = number of nodes. For example, if you have a network with 1 000 nodes and there are 10 000 NTUs, the requirements will be as for a network with 2 000 nodes. Additionally, the 8800 NEs can be very dense and should b e counted as 5 nodes for 8830 Smart Router and 8840 Smart Router, and 10 nodes for 8860 Smart Router.
2.1
8000 Intelligent Network Manager Workstation 8000 Intelligent Network Manager workstation functions as an access point to an 8000 INM system network and its elements for a remote operator through a graphical user interface. There is only one workstation type. However, workstation software can be run also in Management Server computer. Workstation connects to a Management Server running a Satellite Service. Note that the workstation can only be run on the Management Server with Windows as the operating system and thus, workstation is not supported on Linux.
2.2
Database Server The database hardware requirements vary according to the actual size of the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager system network. Sybase database is supported on Windows and Linux servers. Solaris is only supported for the existing customer installations.
2.2.1
Separate Performance Database with Partitioning Separate performance database (PM DB) with partitioning is a scalability enhancement to the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager system. It increases the ef ficiency of the PM application and Network Manager Resilience Service. Furthermore, as a result of separation, it protects the 8000 INM configuration database from fi lling up due to high amount of PMS data.
1In
case of pure 8100 network, the maximum number of workstations is 800.

8000 Intelligent Network Manager SR6.0 Third Party Hardware and Software Requirements 13
2 8000 Intelligent Network Manager System Con fi gurations
It is recommended to consider taking separate PM DB with partitioning into use, if the daily collected amount of PM data exceeds 10 million rows. Furthermore, if some of the following conditions are met in a customer network, it is strongly recommended that separate PM DB with partitioning is taken into use. 1.
The performance data deletion time exceeds two hours.
2.
Administrative burden is introduced by: • Database size being too large for ef ficiently taking database backups. • Database size constantly approaching its limits and introducing need for DB size increments or size monitoring. • Replication latency is over the desired switch over time period.
3.
Customer perceives PM reports being too slow.
These conditions are meant to act as guidelines and their applicability towards an individual customer network might vary. The guidelines have been established based on customer cases and testing. Note that a separate performance database requires an additional Sybase partitioning license per Database Server.
2.2.2
Replication Server Replication Server handles the replication from primary to secondary database in the Network Manager Resilience Service (NMRS) Warm or Hot Standby environment. In the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager system con figuration Linux Database Servers must be used. There are recommendations for general guidelines in chapter 5.1.4 Network Manager Resilience Service Hardware Requirements, but optimal server speci fications must be carried out based on a specific network.
When planning a Network Manager Resilience Service, contact your Coriant representative. Before purchasing any Network Manager Resilience Service, the exact supported software version numbers and the latest details need to be checked from Coriant.
2.3
Communication Server Communication Server is used for managing 5500, 6300, 7090, 7100, 8100 EFM, 8600, 8800 and mTera UTP network elements. Communication Server is supported on Windows. Linux server is supported for the 5500, 7090, 7100 and mTera UTP network elements. The number of required Communication Servers depends on the size of the network. A recommendation for a maximum number of nodes per a single Communication Server is presented in the table below. Each server takes care of one or several areas in a network and can run several parallel adapters (e.g. 7090, 7100, 8600 and 8800). It is recommended to run the adapters in separate Communication Servers, especially if the number of managed network elements is signi ficant. MARBEN TM OSIAM OSITP4, version 1.2 is used for the 6300 network element communication.

For example, a single Communication Server can handle up to 30 x 8660 Smart Routers and 4000 x 8605 Smart Routers with PMS. These recommendations are general guidelines for dimensioning the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager system. The optimum number of Communication Servers needed for a network depends on the number of nodes, the node inventories (the number and type o f physical and logical interfaces), the set of PMS counters monitored, the overall 8000 INM activity (operations per second in the network), the fault and performance polling targets etc.
2.4
Management Server The Management Server functions as a framework for different 8000 Intelligent Network Manager application logic divided into services each running processes of its own. The installation of the different service types is done by selecting the appropriate service for Management Server in 8000 Intelligent Network Manager Setup Wizard. Management Server is supported on Windows. Additionally, Linux server is supported for the 5500, 7090, 7100 and mTera UTP networks.

Only one workstation can be run on the Windows Management Server.
For more information related to different services, refer to 8000 Intelligent Network Manager Installation and Con fi guration Guide for Management Server and Recovery Server .
2.5
DXX Server (8100 Adapter) DXX Server is used for managing 8100 network elements. However, note that Communication Server is used for managing the 8100 EFM network elements. Refer to 2.3 Communication Server . The number of required DXX Servers depends on the size of the network. Each server take s care of one or several areas in the network. Increasing the number of DXX Servers also increases the reliability of network management. In a DXX Server one X.25 port is required per 250 subracks. A DXX Server can have a maximum of four X.25 ports (using dual port X.25 cards), i.e. a total of 1000 subracks. Normally this means 700-800 nodes, depending on the number of 8170 Cluster Nodes. When using asynchronous links you can have two links with a maximum of approximately 50 subrack s per link, i.e. a total of 100 subracks. With four X.25 ports and two asynchronous links the total is 1100 subracks in a DXX Server. When using IP links you can have 250 subracks per IP link. A single DXX Server can handle up to 1500 subracks. If you have several NTUs (more than fi ve) per node, take into account that it can slow down fault polling if there are numerous faults in the NTUs. DXX Server with the X.25 card is not supported in a virtualized server environment.
2.6
Recovery Server The Recovery Server component is used for circuit and trunk protection. It is possible to have a second Recovery Server for backup purposes. The DXX Server and Recovery Server can be run in a common machine if the network size is up to approximately 350 nodes and there are no other DXX Servers in the network.
2.7
8100 Service Computer 8100 Service Computer (SC) is used for monitoring and controlling the operation of a single 8100 system node. The only 8000 Intelligent Network Manager user interface component installed on SC is Node Manager for the 8100 nodes. You can install the 6300 Craft Terminal which is used for controlling network elements of the 6300 system, in the same computer as the SC. If you use the serial port for communication, only one of the programs can be run at a time. If you use the IP link for the SC communication, Craft Terminal (using the serial port) can be run at the same time.

3 DCN, LAN and LAN-IC Requirements
3.2
LAN Configuration It is recommended that the LAN is dedicated to 8000 Intelligent Network Manager computers. When building an Ethernet LAN for 8000 INM, special attention should be paid to the connections between servers. A main management LAN interconnects the Database Server and various 8000 INM servers. Below is a fi gure of the main management LAN and some requirements for it. • Ethernet bandwidth of at least 100 Mbps is required. • Switch-based technology is required. • The main management LAN should be dedicated for use with 8000 INM only. • Tolerated maximum latency is 10 ms. • If the database is replicated, the network speed requirements for the replication database equal to the 8000 INM LAN.

76.8060-70222D © 2014 Coriant.
3 DCN, LAN and LAN-IC Requirements
There are some requirements for the LAN con figuration. • Workstation (previously satellite workstation) down-link • Segment(s) of LAN that interconnect remote workstations to the Management Server. • Hubs and switches can be used. • Every computer having a database connection (all servers) should have reliable and error free network connection. • Note that one such computer behind slow database connection will slow down the whole network management system. It is recommended not to use auto-negotiation for the speed and duplex settings in switch ports and server NICs on the 8000 INM LAN.
3.3
LAN and LAN-IC It is possible to connect workstations to servers from remote locations using TCP/IP. In such a case the communication link capacity between the locations should be as recommended in the following table. These capacities guarantee a reasonable workstation startup time, depending on the size of the network. It is assumed that only one workstation is started up at a time. Recommendations for communication link capacity between w orkstations and the main management LAN, based on workstation startup time Maximum Number of Network Elements in the Network

3 DCN, LAN and LAN-IC Requirements
The communication links between the locations must be reliable, as the quality of these links shall be better than 99.99% in Error-Free Seconds. If the quality of communication links is worse than required, Coriant cannot guarantee that 8000 Intelligent Network Manager or its parts work ef ficiently.
3.4
Networking Configuration It is highly recommended to use the Windows domain network model when more than ten computers are used for network management. For ease of administration of the computers, the servers and workstations should be connected to a domain if there are more than ten computers in the management LAN. This should be done, especially, if users are using unique accounts to access the computers. In a Windows domain, the user accounts are stored centrally in one computer that does the user authentication. A workgroup model (Peer-to-Peer) network can be used if there are less than 10 computers in the management LAN, or if the users are using the same username and password. It is also recommended to have Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and/or Domain Name Service (DNS) servers running in the LAN. These servers provide name resolution services to other computers in the network, so that they can resolve computer names into an IP address that enables computers on a network to fi nd one another and transfer information. The name resolution services should not be running in any of the dedicated 8000 Intelligent Network Manager servers. Separate servers are needed. All servers must have fi xed IP addresses. It is highly recommended to enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) client service on the Database and Replication Servers as well as enable NTP in all 8600 network elements. Management and Communication Servers should use either NTP or Windows domain time service to keep the clocks synchronized.

4 Database Protection Levels
4
Database Protection Levels There are several ways of minimizing the data loss in case of Database Server failures. • Scheduled database dumps. You always need to take scheduled dumps of the database. Frequency of transaction dumps should be set according to the level of network activity. This also de fines the risk level in case of failures. Taking database dumps is the only way to restore the previous database state e.g. in case of human errors. • Mirrored disk drives. Mirroring provides protection against hard disk failures. It means using redundant disks in Database Server. • Clustering. Clustering protects the database from any single point of failure in Database Server. Clustering provides protection within one site. Note that this solution must be purchased directly from the server supplier. • Network Manager Resilience Service is currently available in Cold, Warm and Hot Standby. • Cold Standby means having an inactive spare Database Server with ready con figurations. • Warm Standby is a resilience service, which provides a way to manually con figure connections from the main database to the replicated backup database in a case of failure. • Hot Standby is a resilience service, which transfers connections from the main database to the replicated backup database automatically in a case of failure. The automatic transfer does not cause any traf fic outages. However, it can be noticed as a short delay in the 8000 Intelligent Network Manager usage.
When planning a Network Manager Resilience Service, contact your Coriant representative. Before purchasing any Network Manager Resilience Service, the exact supported software version numbers and the latest details need to be checked from Coriant.

Disk Requirements for Servers The recommendations in this chapter regarding disks apply to 8000 Intelligent Network Manager servers and Database Servers. These recommendations are general guidelines and minimum requirements. Additional disk size or protection mechanisms can be used. The disks can be categorized into two categories. • Internal (I) – Disks that reside physically internal to the server hardware. • External (E) – Disks that reside external to the server hardware on a storage device e.g. Fibre Channel Disk Array or Storage Area Network (SAN). The disks represented in the below tables are virtual disks, not physical disks. The actual number of physical disks underneath a virtual disk depends on the implemented protection mechanism and the vendor. The operating system (OS) disk is recommended to be protected by RAID 1, i.e. mirroring, whereas the database disks are recommended to be protected by RAID 1+0. The recommended minimum sizes of the physical disks are 146 GB for internal and 300 GB for external disks.
