IBM Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager V8.3
IBM Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager V8.3 includes the new release of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.3.1 and IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9.
The profitability of most organizations depends largely upon their ability to deliver application and network-based services to customers and end users in a cost-effective manner. From fixed and mobile telecommunications services to online trading and web banking, the reliability and performance of application and network-based services are intrinsically tied to an organization's success and bottom line.
IBM Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager V8.3 delivers real-time, centralized event monitoring of complex networks and IT domains providing out-of-the-box consolidation of events from a broad range of event sources, and addresses the issue of correlating large numbers of events using de-duplication, filtering, and state-based correlation techniques. Integration with the capabilities provided by the broader IBM Service Management portfolio further enriches this core technology through:
- Business service management.
- Event enrichment through real-time integration with corporate business data (IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact).
- Application topology and dependency (IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager).
- System and application monitoring to extend the consolidation of distributed system events (IBM Tivoli Monitoring).
- System z® to capture events from the mainframe environment (IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON® XE).
- Application and transaction performance monitoring by IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager to provide consolidated views of composite distributed application events.
- Integration with the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console® (TEC) event sources.
- Network, application, and service topology-based correlation that allows the identification of root-cause and symptom events using downstream, connected, and containment-based relationships for events on both element and links. This is supported by automatic discovery of elements and relationships, and a generalized modeling capability in the Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB).
- Causal relationship correlation based upon rules or models leveraging domain expertise.
- Security information and event management, which requires specialized and dedicated techniques (IBM Tivoli Security Operations Manager).
- Trouble ticketing integration with IBM Tivoli Service Request Manager.
- Event archive and reporting with integration to IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse and IBM Tivoli Common Reporting.
This integrated approach provides an extensible event management solution (Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus), along with modular best-of-breed management capabilities to more effectively balance your immediate, specialized correlation requirements with your strategic, long-term objective of increasing sophistication across the range of event management and operational management processes.
In addition to the breadth and flexibility offered via Tivoli integration, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus software's third-party integration support has never been broader. It features:
- Continued expansion of the third-party applications, systems, and network equipment that can be monitored via the Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager probes
- Continued expansion of integrations with third-party systems through Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus gateways that allows other operations management products to benefit from the event correlation and analysis provided in the Tivoli event correlation and analysis suite
Use highly scalable fault processing to manage complex, dispersed environments
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus is designed to scale from small environments up to those of some of the largest organizations. The software can be deployed in a distributed, parallel, or hierarchical fashion to support complex operations environments that span diverse geographic boundaries. Since it couples scalability with a flexible architecture, the software can deliver robust event management to support environments of virtually any size.
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus provides consolidated management across multiple silos to help organizations improve the end-to-end availability of their application and network-based services. When the software detects faults, the faults are processed in the ObjectServer, a high-speed, in-memory database that collects events from across the infrastructure in real time.
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus then eliminates duplicate events and filters events through an advanced problem escalation engine. The software enables your staff to hone in on the most critical problems and even automate the isolation and resolution of those problems.
Automate problem resolution
Typically, operators diagnose and resolve one alarm at a time leaving several other alarms sitting in the queue for lengthy periods. Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus helps organizations improve the efficiency of their problem resolution efforts by providing an advanced capability for automating corrective actions to common problems. By allowing operators to run automated resolution scripts against recurring, predictable problems, your organization can more rapidly resolve routine issues and help minimize manual intervention.
Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition helps an organization visualize and understand the layout of complex networks and the impact of events upon them. The root-cause analysis allows Network Operations Centers' (NOC) operators to work more efficiently by focusing time and attention on root-cause events and identifying symptom events that can be filtered into a separate view.
Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 is uniquely positioned in the market place due to the following differentiators:
- Rapid time to value
- Breadth of new technology protocols and network device coverage
- Performance and scalability
- Flexibility to evolve with your network and meet your changing business needs
- Out-of-the-box integration with Netcool/OMNIbus and other Tivoli products
Streamline network operations
Tivoli Network Manager helps network management staff visualize and understand the layout of complex networks and the impact of network events and failures upon them.
Tivoli Network Manager's topology-based event correlation and root-cause analytics allows NOC operators to work more efficiently by focusing time and attention on root-cause events and identifying symptom events that can be filtered into a separate view. This dramatically reduces the time needed to heal the network and ensures that customer-facing network operations staff has meaningful, contextual information at their fingertips. This helps NOC operations meet their customers highest service expectations.
Tivoli Network Manager's advanced network discovery and visualization capabilities mean that NOC operators are also provided with the ability to view the network infrastructure and associated events that are critical to specific customer services.
Manage a broad range of application and network-based services and supporting infrastructure
Use Tivoli Netcool® Probes to actively collect business and technology events from more than 1,000 sources in real time. These lightweight agents and applications look for events and traps, and monitor network devices across the business.
The probes deliver data to the ObjectServer for collection, filtering, and storage, where your staff can view and manipulate the information and then take meaningful action. Your organization can create customized filters to view data by severity, device, service, geography, or other criteria you define.
In addition to the Netcool Probes, you can deploy the separately licensed Tivoli Monitoring family, that integrates with Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, to proactively measure user experiences and performance across applications and generate alarms based on thresholds you establish.
Tivoli Network Manager provides the user with the capability to automatically discover network devices and their connectivity. This auto-discovery capability generates a topology model that can be:
- Displayed using the web-based topology visualization tool
- Used to target network monitoring systems to identify network events
- Used to correlate disparate network events using the Network Manager IP Root Cause Analysis Engine
- Used to provide an accurate list of network assets to network-inventory systems
Tivoli Network Manager's auto-discovery process constructs a network connectivity model, which is kept up to date by periodic rediscovery (including event driven "partial rediscovery"). This automated network discovery process is highly configurable and extensible. It operates by detecting the existence of a device on the network and querying the device for inventory and connectivity information, which is subsequently processed or "stitched" together to generate a connectivity or topology model. Tivoli Network Manager includes a library of device integration modules to support all major equipment providers using SNMP, telnet, SSH, and via Element Management System integrations.
Examples of devices, systems, and applications include but are not limited to:
- Network infrastructure - Layer 1, 2, and 3 network routers and switches, such as multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), virtual private network (VPN), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay, synchronous optical network (SONET), Voice over IP (VoIP), legacy Private Branch Exchange (PBX) based services, and Network Subscriber Units, and other end-user equipment including VoIP telephones, DSL modems, and cable modems.
- Applications - IBM Lotus Notes® and IBM Lotus® Domino®, IBM WebSphere® software, Sybase, SAP, Microsoft® Active Directory, IIS, Exchange and SQL Server, BEA WebLogic, Apache, Oracle, and many more.
- Infrastructure services and protocols - HTTP/HTTPS, Domain Name Service (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4), Radius, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
- Wireless infrastructure - Nokia, Nortel, Class 5 voice switches, Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) voice switches, Signaling System 7 (SS7 or C7), Radio Access Network devices, network transport, multiservice components, and optical equipment.
- User transactions - Recording, playback, and performance testing of transactions for user-facing applications such as Java™ applets, and Flash and native Microsoft Windows® client applications.
- Security - VPNs, firewalls, antivirus programs, authorization programs, and intrusion detection systems (IDS).
- Systems - Availability, CPU, log files, memory, disk, application flow, security, and client and server response time. Extend the value of existing enterprise management tools and operations support systems.
- Peripheral equipment and business infrastructure assets including point-of-sale terminals, printers, building management systems, production and other equipment monitored by sensor or telemetry devices.
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus can serve as a manager of managers that leverages your existing investments in management systems such as HP Network Node Manager, CA Spectrum, Microsoft System Center for Operations, and many others. By enabling organizations to manage data from multiple tools under a single console, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus can help improve the effectiveness of the entire enterprise operations environment.
For service providers, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus provides integration with operations support systems (OSS) such as inventory, provisioning, and billing tools. Consequently, the software can help support enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM) initiatives.
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus also integrates with help desk and customer relationship management (CRM) applications such as Tivoli Service Request Manager, HP ServiceCenter, and BMC Remedy. It can automatically open trouble tickets and help enable help desk personnel to proactively manage problems by displaying effects of problems on customers and services.
End-to-end real-time infrastructure visibility
Gain real-time management views across your organization by assimilating data from applications and the operations environment into service views by using the Event Management Desktop, formerly known as Tivoli Netcool/Webtop. This web-enabled interface allows monitoring and viewing of high volumes of management data from the ObjectServer. The Event Management Desktop provides your executives, line-of-business managers, operations personnel, and customers with real-time, customizable views of faults, services, and key performance indicators.
Accessible from any Java-enabled web browser, the Event Management Desktop provides operations staff and executives with anytime, anywhere access to service status and actionable information. Highly customizable dashboards offer an array of images, graphical maps, charts, tables, and event lists that can be tailored according to your requirements, showing the big picture of a service or the specific devices that may be causing a problem.
IBM Tivoli Network Manager's Network Management desktop compliments the Event Management Desktop helping network management staff visualize and understand the layout of complex networks and the impact of network events and failures upon them. It includes technology specific network topology maps, network configuration visualization, and ad-hoc SNMP diagnostic tooling. Operators can drill down on specific problems in the event console to locate the alarmed device in the network, perform diagnostics on the problem, and speed mean-time-to-repair.
Integrate real-time information with historical reporting
Understanding the behavior of applications, services, processes, key performance indicators, and other relevant data is critical to effective decision making. Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager includes out-of-the-box reporting capabilities to help organizations gain intelligence about developing trends and to identify potential hot spots for proactive intervention before larger problems occur. Tivoli OMNIbus and Network Manager also provides detailed flexible reporting on the network's configuration and connectivity, allowing organizations to use this real-time data to reconcile other systems you use to support your business.

Specified operating environment
Hardware requirements
IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.3.1 specified operating environment
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus runs on hardware capable of supporting the software listed in the Software requirements section. A full installation of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.3.1 requires a minimum of 500 MB of available disk space, and a minimum of 500 MB of system memory. The memory resident ObjectServer database benefits from fewer fast processors rather than server architectures with many slower cores.
IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 specified operating environment
Hardware requirements vary according to the size and composition of your network and the features of Tivoli Network Manager you want to use. The following topics describe the hardware requirements that your servers must meet before you can install Tivoli Network Manager.
Requirements for the core components
Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 runs on hardware capable of supporting the software listed in the Software requirements section. A full installation of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 requires a minimum of 10 GB of available disk space and a minimum of 4 GB of system memory.
Tivoli Integrated Portal (TIP) (User Console) server requirements
The server on which you install the TIP must meet several requirements. The option in the installation wizard to install TIP also installs other components and is labeled User Console. The server must meet the following requirements:
- 500 MB hard disk space (At least 2 GB additional disk space is recommended.)
- 1 GB system memory (At least 2 GB additional system memory is recommended.)
- CD-ROM drive
Disk space for events and interfaces
You must calculate and allow for the additional disk space for the number of events and interfaces on your installation. The additional hardware requirements for Tivoli Network Manager are as follows:
- 4 KB of disk space for each expected event, per day of storage required
- 4 KB of disk space for each interface or port on a managed device
For example, if you expect 3,000 events each day and require them to be stored for 30 days, you require: 3,000 * 30 * 4 KB = 360 MB.
The total disk space required is therefore: 512 MB + 512 MB cache + 360 MB + (4 KB * ports).
Bandwidth requirements for discovery
Network discovery operations require a minimum of broadband connection speed. Do not attempt discoveries over dial-up connection speeds. If the connection speed is not sufficient, packets might be lost due to the amount of SNMP traffic that is generated by the default discovery and monitoring operations.
Discovery memory requirements
The discovery engine, the ncp_disco process, is the Tivoli Network Manager process that uses most memory. Make sure that you meet the memory requirements for your operating system. All Tivoli Network Manager processes, including the ncp_disco process, are 32-bit processes and, therefore, have access to up to 4 GB of memory.
On the AIX® platform, Tivoli Network Manager processes can automatically access up to 2 GB of memory on an AIX 32-bit kernel and up to 3.25 GB of memory on an AIX 64-bit kernel.
Software requirements
Note: The supported operating systems, browsers, and JRE versions for these products are reviewed and updated at regular intervals. The Tivoli Platform and Database Support Matrix, containing the latest information, is published with monthly updates at

| Licensing metric definitions and pricing examples |
|
Licensing metric definitions
Install
Install is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. An install is an installed copy of the program on a physical or virtual disk made available to be executed on a computer. Licensee must obtain an entitlement for each install of the program.
Millions of Service Units (MSU) per hour
An MSU is defined as millions of Central Processing Unit (CPU) service units per hour; the measure of capacity used to describe the computing power of the hardware processors on which S/390® or System z software runs. Processor MSU values are determined by the hardware vendor, IBM, or Software Compatible Vendors (SCVs).
Resource Value Unit (RVU)
RVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. RVU Proofs of Entitlement (PoEs) are based on the number of units of a specific resource used or managed by the program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of RVUs required for licensee's environment for the specific resources as specified in the table below. RVU entitlements are specific to the program and the type of resource and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of another program or resource.
Instead of the entitlements required for the resources used by the program directly, licensee must obtain entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the resources managed by the program.
Standby or backup systems
For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of situations: cold, warm, and hot. In cold and warm situations, a separate entitlement for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required and typically no additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire other license or entitlements sufficient for that server. All programs running in backup mode must be solely under the customer's control, even if running at another enterprise's location.
As a practice, the following are definitions and allowable actions concerning the copy of the program used for backup purposes.
Cold: A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy.
Warm: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine and is started, but is idling, and is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional charge for this copy.
Hot: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is started, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlements for this copy and there will generally be an additional charge.
Doing work includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance, and testing. It also could include other activities such as mirroring of transactions, updating of files, synchronization of programs, data or other resources (for example, active linking with another machine, program, database or other resource, and so on), or any activity or configurations that would allow an active hot switch or other synchronized switch over between programs, databases, or other resources to occur.
In the case of a program or system configuration that is designed to support a high availability environment by using various techniques (for example, duplexing, mirroring of files, or transactions, maintaining a heartbeat, active linking with another machine, program, database, or other resource), the program is considered to be doing work in the hot situation and a license or entitlement must be purchased.

Passport Advantage
Through the Passport Advantage Agreement, you may receive discounted pricing based on their total volume of eligible products, across all IBM brands, acquired worldwide. The volume is measured by determining the total Passport Advantage points value of the applicable acquisitions. Passport Advantage points are only used for calculating the Entitled Passport Advantage discount.
To determine the required IBM Tivoli product configuration under Passport Advantage, the IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing Model applies. The customer's environment is evaluated on a per-product basis.
Use the following two-step process to determine the total Passport Advantage points value:
- Analyze your environment to determine the number of charge units for a product. The quantity of each product's part numbers to be ordered is determined by that analysis.
- Order the Passport Advantage part numbers. A Passport Advantage point value, which is the same worldwide for a specific part number regardless of where the order is placed, is assigned to each IBM Tivoli product part number. The Passport Advantage point value for the applicable part number, multiplied by the quantity for that part number, will determine the Passport Advantage points for that IBM Tivoli product part number. The sum of these Passport Advantage points determines the Passport Advantage point value of the applicable IBM Tivoli product authorizations which then may be aggregated with the point value of other applicable Passport Advantage product acquisitions to determine the total Passport Advantage points value.
The discounted pricing available through Passport Advantage is expressed in the form of Suggested Volume Prices (SVPs), which vary depending on the SVP level. Each SVP level is assigned a minimum total Passport Advantage point value, which must be achieved, in order to qualify for that SVP level.
Media packs and documentation packs do not carry Passport Advantage points and are not eligible for SVP discounting.
For additional information on Passport Advantage, refer to the following
The following Passport Advantage part number categories may be orderable:
- License and Software Maintenance 12 Months - This is the product authorization with maintenance to the first anniversary date.

| Terms and conditions |
|
The information provided in this announcement letter is for reference and convenience purposes only. The terms and conditions that govern any transaction with IBM are contained in the applicable contract documents such as the IBM International Program License Agreement, IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, and the IBM Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance.
This product is only available via Passport Advantage. It is not available as shrinkwrap.
Licensing
IBM International Program License Agreement including the License Information document and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) govern your use of the program. PoEs are required for all authorized use. Part number products only, offered outside of Passport Advantage, where applicable, are license only and do not include Software Maintenance.
This software license includes Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance).
These programs are licensed under the IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) and the associated Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance, which provide for support with ongoing access to releases and versions of the program. IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) with the initial license acquisition of each program acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available. These programs have a one-time license charge for use of the program and an annual renewable charge for the enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours), as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect.

Limited warranty applies
Yes
Limited warranty
IBM warrants that when the program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the program or that IBM will correct all program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the program.
IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information on known program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. For further information, consult the IBM Software Support Handbook found at
IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).
Program technical support
Technical support of a program product version or release will be available for a minimum of five years from the general availability date, as long as your Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) is in effect. This technical support allows you to obtain assistance (via telephone or electronic means) from IBM for product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the installation and operation of the program product. Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) also provides you with access to updates (modifications or fixes), releases, and versions of the program. You will be notified, via announcement letter, of discontinuance of support with 12 months' notice. If you require additional technical support from IBM, including an extension of support beyond the discontinuance date, contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner. This extension may be available for a fee.
Money-back guarantee
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.
For clarification, note that (1) for programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program and (2) for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) with each program license acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
