6.2 Synchronizing MAE Data Between the Primary and

Secondary Sites (in the Daytime Before the Upgrade)
If a scheduled MAE synchronization task exists on OSMU and the execution period of the
task is one day or longer, you are advised to perform manual synchronization before the MAE
upgrade. This ensures that data changed after the latest scheduled synchronization is complete
and before MAE is upgraded can be synchronized from the primary site to the secondary site,
and the secondary site can properly take over services from the primary site.


During the data synchronization, do not perform any other operations, such as configuring
the current system information and switching over services between the primary and
secondary sites.

If Task Status is Execution Succeeded for all tasks, data synchronization and restoration
have been completed.

The synchronization duration depends on the data volume. Generally, a full
synchronization task takes 150 to 330 minutes, and a fast synchronization task takes 60 to
90 minutes. Therefore, arrange the operation time in advance to prevent the
synchronization from being delayed to the upgrade time window.

During the synchronization, you can perform the pre-upgrade check and backup
operations.

During the period of time between the completion of a site data synchronization task and
the restoration of the remote cold backup relationship, do not perform configuration
operations on MAE at the primary and secondary sites, such as adding, deleting, or
modifying NEs or tasks, or configuring security settings. This ensures data consistency
between the primary and secondary sites.

If the current OSMU version is earlier than V100R023C10, use the full synchronization
mode:
Step 1 Log in to OSMU at the primary site and perform the following operations to back up product
data. For details about how to log in to OSMU, see 12.1 Logging In to the OSMU Client.
1. On the main menu, choose Backup and Restore > Data Backup > Back Up Product
Data.
2. Select an MAE product and perform related operations as prompted.
Step 2 Perform the following operations at the secondary site to synchronize data at the secondary
site:
1. Choose HA > Remote High Availability System > Manage Cold Backup System.

2. Click in the Operation column of the remote cold backup system and perform
operations as prompted to forcibly synchronize product data.
----End

If the current OSMU version is V100R023C10 or later, use the quick synchronization
mode:

----End

6.3 Communication Before MAE Upgrade (Daytime Before

the Upgrade)
Step 1 Notify the upper-layer OSS to perform the switchover verification.
After the upgrade, the secondary site takes over services and the IP address changes.
Therefore, personnel responsible for the OSS (mainly the performance, configuration, alarm,
CLI, and log NBI systems) needs to be notified of the upgrade time window.
The peer party needs to specify the active/standby switchover method. For the OSS that
interconnects with the performance interface, you are advised to configure the IP addresses of
both the primary and secondary sites so that performance result files can be obtained from the
two sites at the same time. This prevents data loss during the switchover. For example,
services have been switched to the secondary site before data collection at the primary site is
complete. For the OSS that connects to other interfaces, you are advised to configure the IP
addresses for the primary and secondary sites at the same time so that automatic switchover
can be implemented. If two IP addresses cannot be configured and automatic switchover is
unavailable, you need to manually configure the IP addresses during the MAE active/standby
service switchover.
The verification method needs to be specified by the customer. After MAE services are
switched over between the primary and secondary sites, the verification method on the OSS
side needs to be specified in advance.
Step 2 Ensure that peripheral systems (OSSs, southbound systems, and other systems) interconnected
with MAE can communicate with MAE at the secondary site, and related firewall policies
have been applied for.

Remote Cold Backup System, TaiShan) Day of the Upgrade

8.2 Communication and Check Before the MAE Upgrade

(Daytime Before the Upgrade)
Step 1 Notify the upper-layer OSS to perform the switchover verification.
After the upgrade, the primary site takes over services and the IP address changes. Therefore,
personnel responsible for the OSS (mainly the performance, configuration, alarm, CLI, and
log NBI systems) needs to be notified of the upgrade time window.
The peer party needs to specify the active/standby switchover method. For the OSS that
interconnects with the performance interface, you are advised to configure the IP addresses of
both the primary and secondary sites so that performance result files can be obtained from the
two sites at the same time. This prevents data loss during the switchover. For example,
services have been switched to the primary site before data collection at the secondary site is
complete. For the OSS that connects to other interfaces, you are advised to configure the IP
addresses for the primary and secondary sites at the same time so that automatic switchover
can be implemented. If two IP addresses cannot be configured and automatic switchover is
unavailable, you need to manually configure the IP addresses during the MAE active/standby
service switchover.
The verification method needs to be specified by the customer. After MAE services are
switched over between the primary and secondary sites, the verification method on the OSS
side needs to be specified in advance.
Step 2 Ensure that peripheral systems (OSSs, southbound systems, and other systems) interconnected
with MAE can communicate with MAE at the primary site, and related firewall policies have
been applied for.
If Access is displayed in the Apps area on the MAE home page at the primary site, a message
is displayed in the upgrade evaluation result, asking you to use a tool to check the
connectivity between the primary site and NEs and between the primary site and VNFM-
Agent. This check mainly covers downlink channels from MAE-Access to NEs and VNFM-
Agent. The uplink channels from NEs and VNFM-Agent to MAE-Access cannot be checked.
Therefore, you are advised to arrange firewall maintenance personnel and peripheral system
(such as NE) maintenance personnel to ensure the upgrade of the primary site and solve the
problem that the connection between the primary site and peripheral systems is abnormal after
the primary site takes over services.
Step 3 View the panoramic monitoring status on OSMU.
1. On the main menu of OSMU, choose Maintenance > Operation and Maintenance
Management > Panoramic Monitoring.
2. Select OSMU in the upper left corner of the page and view the monitoring status of
OSMU in the upper right corner, as shown in the following figure.
If any exception occurs, contact Huawei technical support to evaluate the impact on the
upgrade and handle the exception in a timely manner.

and certain functions may be abnormal.
 The optimal resolution is 1920 x 1080, and the minimum resolution is 1366 x 768.
 Cookies have been enabled on the web browser. If Cookies are not enabled, users cannot
log in to the system.

If the EOX date of third-party software (such as the browser) you have deployed on your PC is earlier
than that of the product, upgrade the software to a version that spans the product life cycle to enhance
network security.

Context
 If you enter the password for the admin user incorrectly for five consecutive times
within 10 minutes, your client IP address will be locked for 10 minutes.
 If three accounts using the same client IP address are locked within 10 minutes, this IP
address will be locked for 30 minutes.
 If the login of a client IP address meets the IP address lockout policy set on the Account
Policy page, this client IP address will be locked for 30 minutes by default.

Issue 01 (2023-04-28) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 83

 iMaster MAE
Upgrade Expert Operation Guide (Virtual Cluster
Remote Cold Backup System, TaiShan) 12 Common Operations

 If the login of a local account meets the account lockout conditions specified on the
Account Policy page, this account will be locked for 30 minutes by default.
 All users can log in to MAE again after the lockout period expires. Local users can also
contact security administrators to unlock their accounts for login again.

Procedure
Step 1 In the address bar of a web browser on the PC, enter the server URL of the MAE client and
press Enter.
The URL format is https://IP address of the server:31943.

MAE master server, for example, https://10.10.10.101:31943.
 You can use an IPv6 address to log in to MAE. The IPv6 address needs to be included in
square brackets. The login URL is https://[IPv6 address of the OSS_Service plane of the
MAE master service VM]:31943.
 If VNF LCM is independently deployed, use the floating IP address of the OSS_Service
plane of VNF LCM to log in to VNF LCM.
 If MAE-Orchestrator is independently deployed, use the floating IP address of the
OSS_Service plane of MAE-Orchestrator to log in to MAE-Orchestrator.


If MAE is upgraded across versions, clear the browser cache before logging in to MAE.

If you want to switch between MAE login accounts, you must manually log out of the current login
account or close the web browser first. Multiple login accounts are not allowed on the same web
browser.

Step 2 On the login page, enter the user name and password, and click Log In.


If you change the password after login, keep the new password secure. If you forget the password for
the admin user, you can restore the initial password by reinstalling the system.

For security purposes, you are advised not to save your password in the browser.

After the initial installation, contact Huawei technical support to obtain and load a formal license file
by referring to iMaster MAE_V100_License_Application Guide.

If the system displays a message indicating that the license is invalid when you log in to MAE, load
a formal license as prompted. Otherwise, MAE cannot be used.

If the login fails due to other causes, rectify the fault as prompted. If the login still fails, contact
Huawei technical support.

----End

Follow-up Procedure

When no operation is required in the MAE system, click in the upper right corner to exit

12.17 Synchronizing the Performance Result Data

Generated When the Secondary Site Takes Over Services
During the upgrade of the secondary site, the NE performance result data newly collected
when the secondary site takes over services is not synchronized to the primary site by default.
After the DR relationship is restored, the NE performance result data collected during this
period is automatically deleted from the secondary site during the synchronization between
the primary and secondary sites. As a result, the NE performance result data is missing at the
primary site. However, the data has been reported to the northbound system through the
secondary site and is not missing on the MAE side. The impact is controllable. To ensure
that the data exists at the primary site, you can use the historical result incremental
synchronization tool to synchronize the data generated during this period to the primary
site. This section applies only to the core network scenario where MAE-Access is
deployed. In other scenarios, skip this section.

Procedure
Step 1 Synchronize historical performance result data.
Run the .PmDataExport.sh script to export data from the secondary site and run the
.PmDataImport.sh script to import the data to the primary site.
For details, see the sections PmDataExport and PmDataImport in iMaster MAE Product
Documentation (EulerOS, XXX): References > MAE Command Reference (EulerOS,
XXX) > MAE Commands > Performance Management.


The start time entered for executing the script must be two hours earlier than the time when the
secondary site takes over services. For example, if the start time of the scheduled backup task is
08:00, the start time needs to be set to 06:00. The end time is the time when the upgrade verification
is complete.

It takes about 1 hour to synchronize data generated within one day. If more than one day is required
for the secondary site to take over services, it is recommended that data be synchronized by day. If
more than three days are required for the secondary site to take over services, it is recommended that
data of only three days be synchronized.

12.18 How Do I Check Whether the Planned Password Is

Weak?
Procedure
Step 1 Use PuTTY to log in to the node to be upgraded as the sopuser user in SSH mode.
Step 2 Run the following command to check whether the password is in the weak password
dictionary. The passwords Test@_123 and Test@173 are used as examples. Replace them
with the actual passwords.
> echo "Test@_123" | cracklib-check 2>/dev/null
If the following information is displayed, the password is in the weak password dictionary and
cannot be used. In this case, plan a new password.

12.20 Checking and Configuring Incremental Catalog

Synchronization Between the Primary and Secondary
Sites of the VNF LCM Subsystem
VNF LCM supports incremental synchronization of key data, such as catalog data, between
the primary and secondary sites. When VNF LCM reports the data changes, such as the
changes about the saved VNFD of NEs, software package, and image package, the changes
are synchronized to the secondary site in a timely manner. During the separation of the remote
cold backup system, the setting of incremental synchronization may be affected. If this
function is not configured before the upgrade, check and configure it after the upgrade to
ensure that the incremental synchronization function is available. This section applies only
to the scenario where VNF LCM is deployed. In other scenarios, skip this section.

12.20.1 Checking and Configuring Trust Relationships Between

the Primary and Secondary Sites
This section describes how to configure trust relationships between the primary and secondary
sites so that an alarm can be sent to the administrator of the primary site promptly when the
secondary site is faulty, improving MAE system reliability.

Prerequisites
 You have obtained the passwords for the ossuser and ossadm users of VNF LCM at the
secondary site.
 You have added the fixed and floating IP addresses of the OSS_Service plane of the
master and standby VNF LCM nodes to the whitelist for mutual access between the
primary and secondary sites.

12.23 Performing Backup After the Upgrade

Scheduled backup tasks for OSMU and MAE products have been created on OSMU.
However, due to version and data changes after the upgrade, you are advised to perform full
backup to improve data backup timeliness immediately after MAE at the primary and
secondary sites is upgraded. If you need to perform other operations (such as capacity
expansion) on MAE immediately after the MAE upgrade at the primary site is completed,
back up MAE data after all the other operations are complete. Otherwise, other operations
may be affected.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the OSMU client at the primary site.
Step 2 Back up OSMU and MAE data by following the instructions provided in the following table.

12.24 Rolling Back GaussDB in the Case of an Exception

By default, GaussDB is not rolled back and only the product software and data can be rolled
back. The latest database version is compatible with the old product version, and functions
can be rolled back to the status before the upgrade. If an extreme exception occurs (for
example, the GaussDB database has serious problems) and the GaussDB database version
must be rolled back, restore the database applications and then the product data by referring to
the following table. Select the latest backup package generated before the rollback.
