This chapter describes Oracle Communications Configuration Management, and the requirements and pre-installation tasks you must perform before installing in order to ensure the system is properly configured.
Configuration Management controls network operations for multi-vendor networks. With Configuration Management, you can automate consistent configuration management practices, such as network discovery, archiving, auditing, and activation.
The key features of Configuration Management are:
Network Discovery: Track and manage SNMP-enabled network elements and organize them into networks and sub-networks, organized by customer or geographic location. Discovered data is stored in the Configuration Management local inventory.
Configuration Archiving and Versioning: Generate records of historical configurations for change tracking, configuration troubleshooting, and emergency rebuilds of the network elements (NEs). You can also perform intelligent NE software restoration with any selected network archive version or use standard TFTP/FTP to pick up the latest archive.
Configuration Auditing and Compliance Management: Identify configuration changes between the archive version and the running configuration using a visual audit diagnosis tool. You can then deploy an automated configuration compliance audit across the network to validate configuration consistency and accuracy and find any abnormality. You can schedule this audit to run on an ongoing basis.
Configuration Activation: Create a configuration template that allows consistent configuration implementations based on network engineering guidelines. You can also enable configuration modeling, with code or GUI auto-generation, and deliver effective configuration template version management that supports changing configuration guidelines.
Configuration Change Tracking: Provides a snapshot of network-wide configuration changes, enabling you to associate device configuration changes with specific users and times. Configuration Management automatically correlates change events with configuration versions, allowing you to view configuration change records and track them to specific content changes or to view change records leading up to specific archives.
You must install the following components before installing Configuration Management:
JDK 1.7: For information about installation and configuration, see the JDK 1.7 documentation.
Oracle 11g Database. Create a tablespace, ensure that it is auto-extensible in increments of 5 MB, and create valid users. See the Oracle Database documentation for installation instructions.
Note:
Only one tablespace is needed, and users are the same as those for Oracle Communications IP Service Activator. A database administrator can configure more table space if the archive is very large.Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF): ADF is available in the Oracle Fusion Middleware media pack. For information about downloading software, see "Downloading a Media Pack". Use the version of ADF that is compatible with your version of WebLogic Server software.
Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.5, or higher. Ensure that you:
Install WebLogic Server on the server on which you are installing Configuration Management.
Create a WebLogic server domain.
Note:
When you configure the domain, select the Oracle JRF check box.Create a managed server in the WebLogic domain
Note:
For installation instructions, see the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation on the Oracle Technology Network Web site:Administration Base (IP Service Activator 7.2.x components): If you already have IP Service Activator 7.2.x installed, or if you have purchased it separately, you must integrate it with Configuration Management by using the IP Service Activator Configuration GUI. See IP Service Activator System Administrator's Guide for more information.
Install Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or 9.0
This section describes the general deployment scenarios for Configuration Management. The hardware requirement for any type of deployment is:
Oracle Solaris 10 server with Sun Fire V240, dual 1.28 GHz CPUs
Oracle Linux server with Sun Fire V240, dual 1.28 GHz CPUs
In a standalone single-server deployment, all components are installed on the same server. This scenario is intended for deployments of 500 to 1000 customer edge (CE) devices.
Figure 1-1 shows a standalone single-server deployment.
Figure 1-1 Standalone Single-Server Deployment
In a distributed deployment, every instance of the Network Processor must have a collector, TFTP, FTP, and Syslog server configured. If a network processor instance is co-located with Configuration Management, the installer configures the associated servers. Any other servers must be configured according to the procedures in "Setting Up TFTP or FTP Services" and "Setting Up the Syslog Server".
The medium-scale deployment has 1,000 to 10,000 CE devices.
Figure 1-2 shows a medium-scale distributed deployment.

The large-scale deployment has more than 10,000 CE devices.
Figure 1-3 shows a large-scale distributed deployment.
