18 Release Notes for Integrated Management Performance and Administration 6.0 SP 5 Enhancement in Fault and Performance Manager alarms / errors filter The alarms and error filter of Fault and Performance Manager release 6.0 SP 4 has been enhanced as follows: MO-Location gets disabled if you select a Category and/or MO-Type Filters now have a new Category as None, so that you can filter on location by selecting MO-Location like Media Gateway, Board, Trunk (grp/member), Port, Error Code, Cabinet and Extension. You can populate location in the Location field that you want to filter. a. Example : Category= None, MO-location= Media Gateway, Location=001. b. Example: Category= None -> MO-location= Cabinet, Location=01. Category Filter All allows you to select MO-Types from the drop down list. This list is editable and so, you can key-in any MO that you want to filter. User interface validations similar to Avaya Aura Communication Manager web maintenance GUI are part of the filter administration. For example, for a wrong entry of Media Gateway in the Location field a popup displays as given below. Similar validations (as given in the last point) for Mo-Location fields Board, Trunk (grp/member), Port, Error Code, Cabinet, and Extension have been incorporated. NIC bonding Network Interface Card (NIC) bonding enables two Ethernet interfaces on the IM PA Server to act as one, providing redundancy. The NIC bonding driver is configured to use active-backup mode in which two Ethernet interfaces can be added as slaves to the NIC bonding driver interface. Only one slave in the bond is active and the other slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. For more information on this, refer to the P & A Install and Upgrade guide 6.0 SP4 on the Support site. The System Adminstrator or the Network Admistrator of the Integrated Management server must take the responsibilty to configure NIC bonding according to the operating system. 14 Release Notes Integrated Management P & A Release 6.0 Service Pack 5 October 2011

On Microsoft Windows Vista and XP, to access the panel, go to Start menu > Control Panel > Java Control Panel. Validate usage. The first three options enable software protection, but exhibit different features. Enable - show warning if needed This is the default setting. When you encounter a potential security risk, a warning dialog box appears. If you click Yes to block potentially unsafe components from running, the program does not start. If you click No, the application or applet continues execution with some added protections. Packages or resources that you later encounter with the same names but with different trust levels, that is, sign versus unsigned, are not loaded. 20 Release Notes Integrated Management P & A Release 6.0 Service Pack 5 October 2011

25 User guidelines for JRE 1.6.0_19 and later versions Enable - hide warning and run with protections This option suppresses the warning dialog box. The code executes as if you clicked No in the warning dialog box. Enable - hide warning and don't run untrusted code This option suppresses the warning dialog and behaves as if you had clicked Yes from the warning dialog. Note: Note: The final option is Disable verification. Do not use this option. Disable verification disables the software from checking for mixed trusted and untrusted code, leaving you to run potentially unsafe code with no warning and without the additional protections. 21 Release Notes Integrated Management P & A Release 6.0 Service Pack 5 October 2011
