Commissioning Objects - Cisco VS-C6509E-S720-10G User Manual

Chapter 4 Deploying the C65/76M

Commissioning Objects

Commissioning is the action required to notify CEMF to start actively monitoring the object. Only the
following C65/76M objects can be commissioned and decommissioned by the user:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
When applied to these objects, the commissioning process is propagated down to all the object's
children. For example, if the Network Element object is commissioned, all the C65/76M objects are also
commissioned. If only a Supervisor Module object is commissioned, then its Ethernet Interface objects
are also commissioned.
When the Network Element object is commissioned, a subchassis discovery is started to determine the
contents of the switch. If objects on the switch are discovered that do not currently exist in CEMF, then
these objects are automatically created and populated. For example, an Ethernet module would be
automatically populated with the appropriate number of interfaces when it is discovered. If the object
already exists in CEMF, then a type match is made against the CEMF object and the one found during
discovery. If a mismatch is found, the object is placed into the Mismatched state and an error is
generated. If there is no mismatch, then the object is commissioned successfully and CEMF begins to
monitor it.

object is deployed in CEMF, the objects are automatically added to the Network, Physical, and the
appropriate Manager Views. In this example, the Network Element objects are called "may" and
"morar," the Chassis objects are called "may-Chassis" and "morar-Chassis," and the Software objects
are called "may-Software" and "morar-Software."
Under the Network container, the Network Element objects are labelled by their IP addresses and added
to the group representing the subnet that they belong to (192.168.12.0). Under the Physical container,
the Network Element and Chassis objects are available.
Note The Software objects are available only under the Catalyst6000Manager, Catalyst6500Manager, and
Cisco7600Manager containment views.
