Accessing ANSA Objects from OSI Network Management

1994
Conference paper

OSI network management provides a general framework for the management of OSI systems, and by extension of any distributed system. However, it is not yet possible to tell to what extent the tools developed for network management will be applicable to distributed systems management. This paper assumes that network managers will want to have some control of the distributed infrastructure and applications. It examines how access to some of the ANSA management interfaces can be given to OSI network managers. In order to do this, it compares the OSI network management model with the ANSA object model.

Managing ANSA Objects with OSI Network Management Tools

OSI Network Management provides a general framework for the management of OSI systems, and by extension of any distributed system. However, as this model is not well-adapted for the management of software components, distributed programming environments (e.g. DCE, CORBA, ANSAware) essentially ignore the OSI Network Management model. We assume nevertheless that OSI Network managers will want to have some control of a distributed infrastructure and application. We examine how access to some of the ANSA (distributed programming environment) objects can be given to OSI Network managers. An implementation of an ANSA-OSI adapter is then presented.

Networked Systems: Introducing Network Management Models into ODP

Jean-Pierre Hubaux

The complexity of networked systems calls for their management. The ODP framework based on viewpoints provides powerful concepts to support the specification and design of distributed systems, but without fully considering their management. In order for ODP to avoid re-inventing the wheel with regard to management, the results of network management standards that we have structured in terms of models should be integrated in the ODP framework. Therefore, this paper defines the mapping between the network management models and the ODP viewpoints. Emphasis lies on the realization of a connection management function using the proposed method.

Patterns in SNMP-Based Management

Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin

A lot of activity is currently going on to replace the SNMP management architecture with a solution better suited to managing modern IP networks and systems. New candidates include Management by Delegation, active networks, and Web-based management. In this exercise, the management community runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bath water by focusing too much on a few well-known problems exhibited by SNMP (e.g., its poor scalability) and neglecting most of its other characteristics, including those that contributed to its success (e.g., the reasons why it is simple). One way to avoid this is to explicitly capture the experience gained in the management of IP networks and systems with SNMP. In this paper, we make one step in this direction by studying the SNMP management architecture through a software engineers eyes: we identify in SNMP some of the fundamental architectural and design patterns defined in the literature. Patterns are schematic, proven solutions to recurring problems. By characterizing the current management architecture in terms of patterns, we help retain the strengths of SNMP-based management in future management architectures. We also make it easier for new software engineers to move to network and systems management by characterizing this application domain in standard pattern terms, as opposed to using the jargon understood solely by the SNMP community.
