2.7 Collecting data for RNC and NodeB PMI NOTE
The UMTS_SOP V5.2 script package (matched with OMStar V500R008C00SPC200) supports the NodeB preventive maintenance inspection (DBS3900WCDMAV200R013C00/BTS3900WCDMAV200R013C00). The OMStar whose version is earlier than V500R008C00SPC200 does not need to collect the NodeB data.
The NIC in co-deployment mode provides the access of all NodeBs in the following versions. The NIC in co-deployment mode in the OMStar of earlier versions does not support the NodeB data collection. iManager M2000 V200R011C01SPC240 and later versions iManager M2000 V200R012C00SPC220 and later versions
The following section uses the UMTS NE as an example. The data collection method for the SingleRAN is the same.
The method described here also applies to the NICs in stand-alone and co-deployment modes.
You are advised to collect data of one RNC and its corresponding NodeBs for the RNC and NodeB preventive maintenance inspection. It is recommended that you create multiple collection tasks for multiple NEs.
Before collect the NodeB performance data, you should firstly make sure the M2000 let the NodeB performance to be saved.
2.7.1 Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task In BSC6900 V900R014C00SPC200 and later versions, the Scenario(Group) names of RNC and NodeB are both SOP.For RNC and NobeB co-collection task, see step 3. In BSC6900V900R014C00SPC200 earlier versions, As the UMTS_SOP and the NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to different groups, they cannot be selected concurrently when you create a collection task. You can modify the groups that the UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to ensure that the two collection scenarios belong to the same group by performing the following operations. Then, the RNC and NodeB data can be collected concurrently in one task. One task collects the data of 1 RNC and 249 NodeBs at most.( In M2000 V200R012C01SPC230 and later versions, when the NIC is co-deployed with the M2000, a

You can click Rules Description in column D of the Summary Report. Then the following figure is displayed.
In the preceding figure, the cells under Rules Description of column F describe the cause why each check item is marked Abnormal. For example, the rules of check item "GOU and FG2a Brd Port" are as follows: 1.
If the interface boards (FG2a/GOUa) work in active/standby mode, and ports which do not work in load sharing mode are occupied by IPPATH/SCTP (used for L3 networking), the ports must be configured to work in active/standby mode.
2.
If two interface boards work in active/standby mode, the attributes of the ports with the same number on the active and standby boards must be the same, namely, the AUTO mode, MTU mode, and flow control mode must be the same.
3.
Check the active alarms, and whether the alarm id-21348 exists or not. If exists, list the information of port.
4.
The value of MTU in the port attribute must be 1500, and AUTO mode should be recommended as 'AUTO'.
Based on the preceding description, you can learn about when exceptions will occur on the ports of the interface boards. You can also learn about how to handle the problem based on the information under Measures of column I. Step 3 Locate and resolve the problem. After learning the rules, you need to locate and resolve the problem accordingly. Click a hyperlink in column C to return to the Check Item Summary sheet. Then, click an item in column C or H to navigate to the sheet with specific check results. For example, the following figure is displayed after you click "GOU and FG2a Brd Port" under column C. You can learn that no standby port is configured for port 0 on the board that is housed in slot 26 of subrack 2 of RNC 208 (RNC ID = 208). This information matches rule 1 for the check item (see step 2); therefore, the result is displayed Abnormal. You can handle the problem by

For other causes, send the log information to R&D engineers for troubleshooting.
5.1.2 How Do I Handle the Failure to Add NEs to the NIC? 1.
Check whether the user name and password are correct, that is, check whether the login by using the LMT succeeds.
2.
If the PC is configured with multiple network adapters and the NIC earlier than V100R006C00SPC300 is used, check whether the IP address in FTP Server Configuration is consistent with the IP address of the PC. If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program without restarting the Internet Explorer.)
3.
Check Mediation layer manager to ensure that mediation matching the version of the NE whose data needs to be collected has been installed.
4.
For other causes, send the log information to R&D engineers for troubleshooting.

5.1.4 Data Collection Failure Scenarios (Configuration Data, Traffic Statistics Data, and MML Data) 3.
If the NIC fails to be connected to NEs, check whether the FTP Server of the NIC is disabled. Do not disable the FTP Server during startup or running of the NIC.
4.
If the PC is configured with multiple network adapters and the NIC earlier than V100R006C00SPC300 is used, check whether the IP address in FTP Server Configuration is consistent with the IP address of the PC. If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program without restarting the Internet Explorer.)
5.
Check whether the user has the operation right. Collect data as user admin; otherwise, the collection may fail due to lack of rights for certain collection items. −
Check whether the user is authorized to operate MML commands. If the user is not authorized to operate MML commands, collecting configuration data and MML data may fail.
−
Check whether the user is authorized to back up configuration files. If the user is not authorized to back up configuration files, collecting configuration files may fail.
−
Check whether the user is authorized to run the BIN command. If the user is not authorized to run the BIN command, collecting traffic statistics data may fail
5.1.5 Why Does It Take Time for the NIC to Collect Inspection Data? 6.
Check whether the default SOP scenario of the NIC is used for collection (it is unnecessary to collect the massive data such as logs for inspection or SOP).
7.
At present, the NIC reports the progress according to collection items. The execution sequence of the collection items may change each time a task is created. If the amount of the data collected by the first collection item is large, the required time is longer and displayed as X%.
8.
The execution sequence of the collection items may change each time a task is created. When the items with a small amount of data are collected in priority, it seems that the collection becomes faster.
9.
If the collection progress does not change for a long time, send the log information to R&D engineers to check whether the NIC still collects data
