Tivoli NetView for z/OS, Version 5.4

Views Available on the NetView Management Console

All objects are grouped into views according to the view links and graph objects defined in the SNA topology data model. These views are the basis from which you navigate through the network to the underlying real resources.

This section describes the exception views, Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking® views, and dynamic subarea views available on the NetView® management console.

Exception Views

Exception views are the primary starting point for all view navigation to a failing network resource.

An exception view can be a collection of real, shadow, and aggregate objects that have been defined as exceptions. No connectivity relationship exists between objects in an exception view; it is simply a graphical list of objects. This list can be filtered by the DisplayStatus or UserStatus values of the object. Figure 19 is an example of an exception view.

Figure 19. Example Exception View
Example Exception View

There can be one or more exception views. The following list contains a few examples of what an exception view can contain:

For more detailed information about defining and filtering exception views, see the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Resource Object Data Manager and GMFHS Programmer’s Guide. Also see, Using Customization Tables and Methods for a description of the FLBEXV exception view table.

Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking Views

Table 22 describes the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking views available on the NetView management console. Figure 20 shows the views in pictorial form to help understand the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking view navigation. Reference keys show the correlation between the table and the pictorial diagram.

All Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking views are created dynamically, except for the first view, SuperclusterView ( 1 ), which is the starting point. Additional information about views is also available:

Figure 20 shows the view navigation available when you are monitoring Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking network or local topology. The heavy dashed line across the figure is used to show the view navigation available when you are monitoring only Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking network topology. Everything above the dashed line is the view navigation available when monitoring Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking network topology.

Note:
NetView management console views are simplified to represent just the objects contained in the views. In addition, naming conventions are not necessarily those you see in actual views.

Figure 21. Subarea View Navigation from Configuration Backbone View
Subarea View Navigation from Configuration Backbone View
Subarea Transmission Group Circuit Views

Figure 21 shows two subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit views in the subarea navigation example. The view at the top left of the figure is presented when you choose More Detail on a selected subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit object that contains the underlying multipoint resources for a single multipoint link that support subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits. The view directly beneath it is presented when you choose More Detail on a selected subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit object that contains underlying resources that are not multipoint resources.

All links in these views are null links.

For non-NTRI-like subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits, each port-logicalLink pair represents one side of the subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit. The port object represents the adapter card that the physical line is attached to, and the logicalLink object represents the link station. If the logicalLink is a VTAM-reported object, the logicalLink represents a PU statement in a VTAMLST member.

If NTRI or NTRI-like objects (FrameRelay, Ethernet, NPSI, or ESCON resources) are part of this subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit, both the logical and physical parts of the line are displayed. This is represented by a double pair of ports and logicalLinks. The pair that is closest to the logicalLink-logicalLink connection is the logical pair that represents the one of many logical resources that traverse this single physical connection. The pair farthest away is the physical pair that represents the physical NTRI, FrameRelay, Ethernet, NPSI, or ESCON connection.

The subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit view for multipoint resources shows, as an example, only the underlying resources for a single multipoint link. The other subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit view shows, as an example, one group of non-NTRI objects and one group of NRTI objects; there can be 2 to 255 groups of these objects.

If the SNA topology manager has only received one perspective of the subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit, only half of the objects are shown in this view. The dividing line is where the two logicalLinks directly connect to each other. For example, if the objects that make up a subareaTransmissionGroupCircuit are owned by two different VTAM nodes and one VTAM node has agent function and the other does not, the SNA topology manager only receives one perspective of the link. Only one side of the logicalLink-logicalLink connection is shown in this case.

Configuration Backbone View

Subarea navigation does not have a specific starting point like Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking, but the Configuration Backbone View (shown in Figure 21 and Figure 24) and the Configuration Parents view are excellent reference views to begin subarea navigation.

Although the purpose of the Configuration Backbone view is to show the context of the subarea backbone, Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking resources that directly connect to subarea backbone resources are shown in this view. This includes only appnTransmissionGroupCircuits and *ntriTypeAppnTgCircuits that connect to appnNNs or virtualRoutingNodes. It does not include the node on the other side of the link. Choose More Detail on these appnTransmissionGroupCircuit and *ntriTypeAppnTgCircuit objects to navigate to Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking.

If the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking nodes are included, the entire Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking subnetwork is pulled into this view. The obvious clutter is probably unwanted.

VTAM nodes having a dual image are shown in this view (that is, migrationDataHost nodes and interchangeNodes). Dual-image objects are those that are included in both Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea topology status collection. See Figure 9 for a pictorial example.

Note:
Only when resources are directly object-linked are they contained in the backbone view pulled from the RODM data cache.
Configuration Parents View

This view shows the peripheral connectivity of a resource, and the owning node. It does not show the subarea backbone connectivity because the information to determine exactly which intermediate resources (NCPs and subarea TGs) play a role in the connectivity is not known.

The Configuration Parents view is supported for both subarea and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking resources. Most VTAM-reported resources include the major nodes (definitionGroups) and the owning VTAM nodes that play a part in the configuration of a resource.

Figure 22 shows examples of possible configurations that can be displayed in the Configuration Parents view. Only one of these groups of resources that are connected is shown in any one view. If you select an object somewhere in the middle and request a Configuration Parents view, only the object requested and the higher-level resources to the owning node are shown.

Figure 22. Configuration Parents View Configuration Examples
Configuration Parents View Configuration Examples

In the configuration examples shown in Figure 22, all links are null links. Only one of the configuration examples is shown in a Configuration Parents view. The following list includes a description of each configuration example:

  1. In the top group of resources (configuration) in Figure 22, the logicalUnit can be an object in the crossDomainResource object class for independent LUs. The definitionGroup object can be a CA, LAN, XCA, PACKET, NCP, or LOCALSNA definitionGroup.
  2. The second configuration in Figure 22 shows the first group of resources again, with an additional set of port and logicalLink resources. The logicalUnit is also defined by the bottom definitionGroup object, which is a SWITCHED definitionGroup. The top definitionGroup object, as in the prior configuration, can be a CA, LAN, XCA, PACKET, NCP, or LOCALSNA definitionGroup.

    If this configuration represents one that involves NTRI or NTRI-like resources (FrameRelay, Ethernet, NPSI, and ESCON), the symbols and what they represent (from left to right) are shown in the following list:

  3. The third configuration in Figure 22 shows an luGroup without a definitionGroup as part of the configuration. This is intentional because luGroups are not part of a major node.
  4. When the local topology of the node is being monitored, and the node is not a VTAM node (no definitionGroups reported), the Configuration Parents view contains information that looks like the fourth group of resources in Figure 22.
  5. The last configuration is possible when a logicalUnit is located, but the owning node does not have an agent. The status is unknown.

If a Locate Resource is performed, or a Configuration Parents is performed on one of the following resources in a view, then the Configuration Parents view is displayed, with no higher-level resources connected:

Configuration Children View

The NetView Configuration Children view shows the peripheral connectivity of a resource, and any child nodes. It does not show the subarea backbone connectivity because the information to determine exactly which intermediate resources (NCPs and subarea TGs) play a role in the connectivity is not known.

The Configuration Children view is supported for both subarea and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking resources. Most VTAM-reported resources include the major nodes (definitionGroups) and the child VTAM nodes that play a part in the configuration of a resource.

You can perform the Configuration Children function on any of the following listed objects. If an object does not have any children defined, only the selected resource is displayed in the view:

Customized Views

Custom views can contain SNA subarea and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking resources managed by SNA topology manager. Custom views can be created using RODM Collection Manager, Visual BLDVIEWS, or BLDVIEWS. For more information on creating custom views, see the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Resource Object Data Manager and GMFHS Programmer’s Guide.

Views Containing Both Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and Subarea Resources

This section contains the views that are the interconnection between Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea networks. These views show the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea resources that touch at the periphery of each network and provide a navigation path between the subarea and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking.

Table 24 describes the views that contains both Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea topology resources available on the NetView management console. The different view navigations in pictorial form are shown in:

Figure 23 shows the *interdomainCircuit and the *appnTransGroupCircuitCN views that show the interconnection between Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea.

Figure 23. Views Containing Both Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and Subarea Nodes
Views Containing Both Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and Subarea Nodes
*interdomainCircuit View

Figure 23 shows in the *interdomainCircuit view at least one of the nodes on each side of the link is a composite node, that is, a combination of a VTAM node that has appnNN capabilities, and one or more NCPs. The *appnTransGroupCircuitCN represents the potential t4Nodes or *t4NodeGateways and subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits that the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking connection is spanning.

*appnTransGroupCircuitCN View

Figure 23 shows in this view two t4Nodes and four subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits. This is an example; any number of t4Nodes and subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits can be shown.

The interchangeNode can be a t5Node. In this case, the purpose of the view is to show the intermediate t4Nodes (or *t4NodeGateways) and subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits between this t5Node and the node on the other side of the LEN connection.

All subareaTransmissionGroupCircuits, and t4Nodes that provide a potential path for the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking connection are displayed. The exact path is unknown.

If the appnTransmissionGroupCircuit is using an NTRI or NTRI-like connection to the t4Node, the *ntriTypeAppnTgCircuit link object is shown instead of the appnTransmissionGroupCircuit; this is marked in the example view with NTRI. If the appnTransmissionGroupCircuit is not using an NTRI or NTRI-like connection, only the appnTransmissionGroupCircuit link object is used; this is marked in the example view with Non-NTRI. One, and only one, of these link connection objects is shown in this view.

The appnNN in this figure, can also be an appnEN, interchangeNode, lenNode, migrationDataHost, t2-1Node, t5Node, or virtualRoutingNode.

Figure 24 shows the configuration backbone view and the *ntriTypeAppnTgCircuit of appnTransmissionGroupCircuit view that shows the interconnection between Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking and subarea.

t5Node or t4Node More Detail (Logical) View

In Figure 25, the t5Node or t4Node is not displayed because the selected object cannot be carried into the next view for a More Detail (logical) command.

Only resources connected to Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking that are directly attached to the node are displayed. This includes the appnTransmissionGroupCircuit and the node that is on the other side. For t5Nodes, the Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking resources are restricted to LEN resources only.

If the selected node is a t5Node and any LEN-connected resources through one or more t4Nodes are shown in the view, an *appnTransGroupCircuitCN and the node on the other side are included in the view.

If the selected node is a t4Node and any resources connected to Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking that are using NTRI or NTRI-like resources are shown in the view, an *ntriTypeAppnTgCircuit and the node on the other side are included in the view.
