2 Product Survey
Beginning with Ensemble Controller version 13.1, the Embedded License Server (ELS)
manages any required licenses which must be ordered from the ADVA Customer Focus
Team. The licenses determine the scope of system functions and features in Ensemble
Controller, and also whether you have unimpeded access to all network objects within a
Version: 1.1
particular network. Your administrator must prepare and enable the Embedded License
Server as described in the Administrator Manual and install the required licenses.
ENC R13.3.3 is a maintenance release that provides defect fixes in key areas of the system.

Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
• When upgrading from a release prior to R13.2.2, the ENC client must be re-installed.
• Changes made to the FSP 3000AC using the Netconf interface can override changes
made from ENC even when the running configuration is locked on the network element.
• Beginning with ENC R13.1.x, the default theme of the ENC client has been enhanced for
better usability and includes a breadcrumb trail for navigation. This theme is called the
“ADVA” theme. No functionality has been lost as compared with the previous theme,
Version: 1.1 to as the Accessible theme. The user is able to choose between the ADVA
now referred
theme or the Accessible theme upon initial login after installation. The selection can be
changed from the view options.
• ADVA has improved software so you can manage Z4806V2 devices with the Pro-Vision
client on ENC software release 13.3. Because of these improvements, earlier releases
20.1.1 and previous are not compatible with ENC release 13.3. Z4806V2 R20.5.1 is
compatible with ENC release 13.3.
• Beginning with ENC R13.1.1, the format of the date in the notification manager was
changed from “HH:MM:SS MM/DD/YYYY” to the ISO8601 format “YYYY-MM-DD
HH:MM:SS”
• Sync Assurance users should backup the GNSS and TPA databases before upgrading to
ENC R13.3. See “Requirements to Upgrade Sync Assurance” section of the Administrator
Manual for more details.
• ENC R13.3.3 was released after ENC R14.1.1 and R14.2.1. Upgrades from 13.3.3 to
these releases may not be supported. Please contact customer support for more
information.
Note: The user should check the customer portal for the most updated copy of the release
notes.
Ensemble Controller 13.3 is the final version of the 13.x release cycle and is treated as the
long term support version.
Enhancements for existing Ensemble Controller R13.3.3 (Build #10700) installations can be
ordered until the end of July 2025. Support for this release will be available until the end of
January 2027 when it will reach end of life.
ADVA reserves the right to replace Ensemble Controller R13.3.3 by a maintenance release
containing fixes for defects appearing in customer networks. If this release is produced, it
will also replace 13.3.3 as the long-term support version for 13.3.x and will be made
available free of charge to customers updating from 13.1.x or 13.2.x.
These can be found on the installation media, in the installation directory or on the ADVA
Customer Portal.

more details,
Note: When running the Ensemble Controller client on Windows operating systems, ADVA
recommends using 64 bit machines when managing larger networks for performance
reasons. Additionally, enabling Pro-Vision on a Windows server is only supported with the
64 bit installation on a 64 bit machine.
The installation supports only upgrades from version R12.1.1, R12.2.1/2, R12.3.1, R12.4.1,
R13.1.x, R13.2.x, 13.3.x to R13.3.3. If upgrading from a release prior to R12.1.1, please
refer to the migration hints in the release notes of R12.1.1 for the appropriate upgrade
instructions and path. Please note that the upgrade of the Ensemble Controller server for
large networks may take several hours and the user is advised to not login to Ensemble
Controller client during this period.
Please make sure you have a copy of all intermediate versions before you start the upgrade
procedure. After each installation step, the Ensemble Controller server must be started once
to complete the respective upgrade step.
Please note that only the client of Ensemble Controller R13.3.3 is compatible with the
Ensemble Controller server R13.3.3.
It is recommended to double-check all output paths for Ensemble Controller generated files:
Note: Beginning with ENC R12.1.1, the upgrade process for HA configuration has changed.
Please refer to the administration manual for details.
Note: Due to security enhancements, beginning with ENC R12.3.1, the SNMP profile settings
configured for a given device must match the device exactly. In the past, for example, if the
default v3 settings failed to successfully contact the device, ENC would attempt to use the
default v2c settings. This will no longer be the case.
Ensemble Controller supports the 64 bit (to be used only with 64 supporting hardware)
windows installations.
The Windows package of Ensemble Controller includes the free FTP server FileZilla version
0.9.29 and the free SCP/SFTP server CopSSH version 5.4.2. This version of CopSSH is
17
- Classified as Confidential -
Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
packaged with Ensemble Controller for testing purposes only. It is not intended for a
production environment and ADVA does not offer technical support for CopSSH. ADVA
recommends that an up to date commercially licensed SSH tool be installed. Please refer to
the Administration Guide, section 1.2 Installation Requirements for further details.
Note: FileZilla is now a package that needs to be installed as a separate step for Windows
Version: 1.1
environment, it will not be installed and started by default
When specifying the directory on the FTP or SCP/SFTP server for Software Download or NE
configuration backup/restore in the Ensemble Controller Network Properties page, we
recommend using absolute paths only (starting with a slash), e.g. “/my-fnm-files”.
When using FileZilla this refers to the FTP user’s home directory as specified in FileZilla (e.g.
C:\FTP\my-fnm-files).
When using OpenSSH this by default refers to the OpenSSH installation folder (e.g.
C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\my-fnm-files).
SNMP Forwarder
The SNMP Forwarder Service is primarily used by the FSP 1500 Element Manager and is no
longer started by default. To start it manually, cd to the following directory: C:\Program
Files (x86)\ADVA Optical Networking\FSP Network Manager\bin
The SNMP Forwarder service is set to Manual during installation. The user can set it to
automatic if they want the SNMP Forwarder to start automatically after a reboot.

• Only proceed if the database validation succeeds. Please call Customer Service for
support in case of failures.
• If unsupported devices (devices for which support has been removed) are found in
the database, the script will provide a warning that says “UNSUPPORTED, PLEASE
REMOVE BEFORE UPGRADE”. If these devices are not removed, the upgrade will fail.
• Please
Version: 1.1backup the fnm.properties file and reportdb directory from the previous
versions also described in Ensemble Controller Administration Manual Upgrade
Installation sections (preparations)
• Also copy the file fnm.properties, log4j.properties from the Installation
directory to a secure location
• The user is advised to back up the contents of the reportdb directory (from
the previous version installation directory) to a safe location
• The user is advised to back up the contents of the images directory (from the
previous version installation directory) to a safe location (if images had been
used)
• The user is advised to back up the contents of the CustomProducts directory
(from the previous version installation directory) to a safe location (if Custom
Products had been used)
• Copy (Ensemble_Controller_for_Windows_v13.3.3-B10700-64bit.exe or
Ensemble_Controller_for_Windows_v13.3.3-B10700.exe) to a directory on your local
hard drive or insert the Ensemble Controller DVD into your DVD-ROM drive.
1. Note: upgrade from the 64 bit version to the 32 bit version is not supported.
Neither is an upgrade from the 32 bit version to the 64 bit version. The
workaround is to back up the database, uninstall the old version, install the
new version and restore the database.

Ensemble Controller Server. Please refer to the installation instructions in the
Administration Guide for details
• Please restart the machine once the installation completes.
• After the machine comes back up, you must wait until the system upgrades the
database. Refer to the 'dbupgrade.log' file located under var\log for the following
messages:
1. At the beginning of a database upgrade:
INFO - =======================================================================
INFO - DATABASE UPGRADE HAS BEEN STARTED AND THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE A WHILE TO
COMPLETE. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE DATABASE UPGRADE COMPLETION MESSAGE BEFORE
CONTINUING.
INFO - =======================================================================
2. Note
The upgrade process may take some time to finish, which is dependent upon
the database size, the upgrade path (number of skipped intermediate NM
versions) and the server performance.

• After the installation completes, you must wait until the system upgrades the
database. Refer to the 'dbupgrade.log' file located under var\log for the following
messages:
• At the beginning of a database upgrade:
INFO - =======================================================================
INFO - DATABASE UPGRADE HAS BEEN STARTED AND THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE A WHILE
Version: 1.1 TO COMPLETE. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE DATABASE UPGRADE COMPLETION MESSAGE
BEFORE CONTINUING.
INFO - =======================================================================
• Note
The upgrade process may take some time to finish, which is
dependent upon the database size, the upgrade path (number of
skipped intermediate NM versions) and the server performance.
Please note that the first server startup phase after an upgrade takes reasonably more time
than a regular startup. During the startup phase client logins are rejected.

The “OTN (Link) Layer” feature visible in the topology graph doesn’t
support the old service model (classic) trails as carried connections. If an
OTN Link is selected in the topology graph, the connection table tab
doesn’t list classic trails and the classic trails aren’t counted as traffic
FNMD-55839 (active, standby) in the link overview tab.
The names of some of the layers may be changed during the re-explore
Version: 1.1
FNMD-58391 after a reconfiguration operation.
Protection switches for OPPM line protected services in VSM mode should
not be performed from the topology graph(i.e. "Switch to Line B").
FNMD-65797 Protection switches should be performed from the service tree.
Service creation between a 2WCC10G and an UNO NE passing through
another 2WCC10G may fail if the user uses the default setting of the
facility type on the source network interface on the parameter page of the
service wizard. The user must set the source node facility type to match
FNMD-66016 the facility type of the virtual port on the UNO NE.
After service restoration or re-explorartion, custom names for certain
layers may not be preserved and the default names will be shown. The
FNMD-66418 user will have to rename those layers again.
Discovered explored Network Media Channel connections between FSP
3000C devices which are managed using the "Set to Managed" options
from the context menu cannot be modified. The workaround is to create
FNMD-66676 the explored service from the service wizard.
On rare occasions, performing a "Delete from Database" operation on a
service results in the service re-appearing in the Discovered folder.
FNMD-66689 Restarting the client will remove the service from the client display.
For services where the signal flows through a 16PSM module twice on
different ports, the layer browser and optical trace browser may not
FNMD-66793 display the position of the modules properly.
The ability to delete or “Set to Discovered” for an NFC is not supported.
However, if the last CFC associated with the NFC is set to discovered, then
the NFC will be as well. If a managed CFC is not available, the workaround
is to select a discovered CFC associated with the NFC, set it to managed,
FNMD-71322 and then set it to discovered again.

In ENC R11.2.3, the fiber break alarm was not displayed for
FNMD-52451 some links that were down.
The user may see a fiber break indication on multiple trails,
FNMD-52895 From LOL but the main fiber break is only caused by one of them.
When ENC is configured as a standalone(non HA
configuration) and running on a Linux server and the
Version: 1.1 mediation service fails to start, it may get attempt to restart
FNMD-52938 From LOL itself repeatedly.
When changing the configuration of an unprotected explore
service to protected, the user should delete the unprotected
service from the database and then re-explore the service.
The same procedure applies when going from protected to
FNMD-53886 From LOL unprotected.
If an External Channel(ECH) service is created on a filter
module, the client port used in this service may not be
indicated on the module page of the service wizard when
creating a second service. The preferred procedure is to
select the network port first and then select the ECH from the
FNMD-54445 From LOL ECH combo box on the module page.
The network VCH is not automatically put in service for
FNMD-54661 From LOL services using the MicroMux plug on the Quadflex module.
In ENC R12.2.2, the OSA 3350 device alarm list was not
FNMD-55477 aligned with the MIB.

FNMD-55667 From LOL two services automatically does not work properly.
In ENC R12.2.2, keystore files had incorrect permissions and
FNMD-55909 were readable by everyone.
Services using the WCC-PCN-100GB module may appear in
the classic service model display. Running Fix DB
Inconsistencies displays the service in the new multi layer
FNMD-56014 From LOL model display.
Client Channel Card Protected services may appear in the old
service model display. Running Fix DB Inconsistencies should
FNMD-56075 From LOL convert the display to the new Mult Layer Model.
When the user creates client facing connection and sets the
initial state to maintenance in the service wizard, it may
result in the underlying network facing connections also being
set to maintenance. The user is advised to create the service
initially as in service and then change the state to
FNMD-56178 From LOL maintenance after creation.
Unprotected provision services passing through the 5PSM and

Pro-Vision generated an “Incorrect max bandwidth” error when you tried
to update the XG300 port configuration settings. Now Pro-Vision no longer
generates the “Incorrect max bandwidth” error during a port configuration
FNMD-65103 update.
Version: 1.1 Some alarms generated from an OptiDriver showed an AID with Power
Supply 2 when it should have been a Port or Fan. Now these alarms
generated from an OptiDriver no longer show Power Supply 2 in place of
FNMD-64968 something else.
The IP Address/Mask field was not mandatory when you added a Virtual
Interface through the Pro-Vision GUI, but when you saved the
configuration Pro-Vision generated a “Invalid IP Address/Mask” error
anyway. Now Pro-Vision does not generate a “Invalid IP Address/Mask”
FNMD-64957 error.
Many unnecessary debug log messages appeared in the log file. Now these
FNMD-63809 debug log messages do not appear in the log file.
When using SNMPv3, the device poller sometimes returned unexpected
OIDs which the poller logged as errors. To avoid this, ADVA improved the
log message reported when receiving a SNMPv3 out of time window error
while polling devices from “Expected SW version but got
OID=snmpModules.15.1.1.2.0, value=#” to “SNMPv3 time window out of
FNMD-63803 sync while polling <DEVICE>”.
Pro-Vision was selecting 0.0.0.0/0 for a network instead of the specified
network range while performing a software upgrade using zero touch. Now
FNMD-63573 Pro-Vision selects the correct network and device IP.
The SNMP tab System Location field allowed 0-63 characters, which
caused an error when you tried to save the device. To prevent such errors,
the maximum SNMP tab System Location field character length is now
FNMD-63557 80 characters.
Pro-Vision returned an internal error when you opened the Managed
Session window. Session exceptions are now handled when gathering
session information to display in the manage session dialog, allowing the
FNMD-63556 dialog to open.
Any action filter such as sending a trap was checking for duplicates, so
status change traps were not sent if they were not processed fast enough.

term) may cause missing performance data (FSP 150Cx only). Workaround: Stick
to default settings (15 minutes).
17. The performance template filter per NE type always shows “Physical Layer
Performance” even if not supported by the selected NE type.
18. On very rare occasions the Network Element’s may stop responding to SNMP
Version:requests
1.1 from the Network Management System. Workaround: Use the GUI to
reset the SNMP session in Ensemble Controller for the respective NE.
19. PDF report view generation for large performance reports is inefficient. No
workaround is available. PM Reports for large subnets should be avoided.
20. File Transfer process during Software Download of a Hatteras HN4000 might fail
due to timeout, if they take longer the 8 minutes. Workaround: The minimum
required DCN speed between the Ensemble Controller and the Network
Element(s) is 64 KBit/sec.
21. Ensemble Controller may not collect all the historical PM bins for FSP 150CM
when historical bins that are invalid are present at the NE. This is a startup
condition and only occurs during the first polling of the NE. All subsequent
collection proceeds normally, but the history is not filled once an invalid bin is
reached. No workaround is currently available.
22. Network Element layer performance data is not collected for remotely un-
managed FSP 150CP. No workaround is currently available as the NE does not
support PM’s for remote devices.
23. Assignment of performance management templates to large subnets (or
assigning large templates to subnets) takes a long time. The only workaround
currently available is the advice to perform this operation on smaller subnets or
avoiding use of large templates. If the user chooses such operation, then it’s
advisable to let the operation complete without interruption.
24. In High Availability configurations, the Ensemble Controller client may fail to
reconnect to the Standby server after a switch-over. Workaround: Close the
application client and restart.
25. For FSP 150CC-825 QOS Ethernet layer port PM is not collected. The user is
advised to use the NE Web interface to obtain the data.
26. For FSP 150CP Network Elements, the System Contact and Location information
will not be restored after a NE database restore operation. Workaround: The user
will have to enter the information again using the EM interface.
27. FSP 150CM Master NE when moved to a different subnet then the remote node
may cause a connection failure from the client to the server. Workaround: The
FSP 150CM and its remote nodes must reside in the same subnet and hence be
moved together during copy/paste operations.
28. For FSP 150CC-825 Network Elements, multiple restarts can result in Ensemble
Controller showing a loss of communication via SNMPV3 due to protocol
discrepancy. Workaround: Use the GUI to reset the SNMP session in Ensemble
Controller for the respective NE.
29. Sometimes when creating a tracked service, a clock mismatch warning is raised
by the service wizard even though the ports are configured correctly. This
warning can be ignored.
30. In rare situations, it has been observed that some OTU layer and SDH multiplex
layer performance parameters were not collected completely from FSP 3000R7.
31. When a FSP 3000R7 channel module is replaced by a different type of module
(re-provisioned on the NE), then it is required to follow exactly the procedure
61
- Classified as Confidential -
Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
described in the User Manual, Replacing Hardware. Otherwise, the new module
may not be discovered properly, and hence are not selectable as connection
termination point.
32. When Service add/remove operations are performed rapidly on the same module,
the module selection page in the service wizard may incorrectly display port
Version:availability
1.1 status. Workaround: Avoid performing rapid service add/delete
operations on the same module (wait 1 min) or use the back button followed by
next button to re-load the module selection page.
33. In very rare occasion a busy cursor may be shown when navigating to the
module selection page in the service wizard. Workaround: Restart the client and
then re-run the Service Wizard.
34. To avoid PM collection issues with FSP 1500 devices, please ensure that PM
templates do not contain any unsupported Mon Types. Additionally, please avoid
assigning templates to Subnets containing such devices (i.e. assign templates to
services instead). Workaround: One should use the Element Manager to
determine the supported Mon Types and only use these Mon Types in the
template.
35. For large subnets, report generation could be slow. Workaround: Please generate
reports on subnets with 20 NE’s or less only. Additionally, for PM reports there is
a configurable limit (maxNECountperformance) which if set will warn the user and
prevent the report generation of large subnets.
36. Insertion of a new NE on a fiber between two Network elements is not supported
in the subnet editor. Workaround: Remove the link and re-create the fibers
between NEs.
37. The service wizard module selection page will always show modules with 1 slot
width even when the module is 2 slots wide.
38. When subsequent template assignments are done for the same entity (e.g. one
template is first assigned to a service and then another template is assigned to a
subnet), the last template assignment will prevail.
39. When creating Tracked Service with FSP 1500, the default admin state is set to
down. Workaround: Please set the admin state by invoking the operation on the
selected service from the Service Tree.
40. Channel Card protected services in provisioning mode for WCC10GT and
4TCC10G modules may incorrectly display the active path in the service tree icon
as well as the service editor detail display after a protection switch operation.
41. Browse Service and View Services actions are not supported in the Security
Manager for the Service Tree. Workaround: Please use “Customers” in the “Edit
View” to control authorizations of service per users in the Service Tree.
42. The Chassis View tab in the Network tree may improperly display alarms for
40CSM-2HU and ROADM-2DC shelves. Workaround: use the NED to verify the
alarms.
43. Fiber Break indication persists in the Network View Map even when the last
service is removed from the fiber.
44. If the OS system time is or time zone is changed on the system running
Ensemble Controller server, the Ensemble Controller server must be shut down
first, then change time, followed by a server restart.
45. Duplicate Unauthorized Events can be received from FSP3000R7 due to Network
Element software related issue.
46. In the context of data services, some PM Monitoring Types will not be collected
network side of 10TCC10GT-DL modules.

Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
47. It is recommended that while using the Service Manager to create provisioned
services, any configuration changes (e.g. to the Fiber Map) made at the NE are
allowed sufficient time (5 Min) to propagate to Ensemble Controller prior to
initiating Service creation operations. Workaround: one can trigger a manual
status poll operation before performing service creation operations.
48. For
Version: 1.1FSP 150 CCf-825 devices, the ABRL-TX PM point shows the value of ABR-TX
PM Point. The user is advised to use the NE Web interface to obtain the data
49. For FSP 150 CCf-825 devices, the Parameter "Frames Marked as Green by RX
Policer" shows an incorrect value. The user is advised to use the NE Web
interface to obtain the data.
50. For FSP 1500 devices, PM’s are not collected for SDH/Sonet Performance (High
Order Path) and SDH/Sonet Performance (Low Order Path) layer.
51. Performance collection may fail to collect ‘System Up Time’ and ‘System
Availability’ monitoring types for some devices (e.g. FSP 150CC-825)
52. Force Delete operations on track services should be avoided as they may leave
counters for Folders and customers in an inconsistent state and hence show
inconsistent operational state in the service tree. Workaround: Please use the
normal delete operation on track services.
53. Mismatch alarms on services will be present in Ensemble Controller if proper
order of de-commissioning the modules is not followed. Workaround: The user
should delete the service from Ensemble Controller first, the remove the module
from the NE and finally remove the module from Ensemble Controller system.
54. Administrative Operation on the Optical Channel may result in an inconsistent
display of service detail and the status of Optical Channel in the Split Pane under
the Service Tree. The Data Service status in the Service Tree is always correct.
Workaround: Reselect the Data Service from the Service Tree to display the
updated status.
55. It is advised that the user should avoid changing the severity of the fiber break
alarm from the default critical severity.
56. It is advised that the user should avoid changing the default severities of server
generated alarms (SRV) in the events severities window as these severities will
not be reflected when the alarm is raised.
57. It is not possible to start a telnet session from NM GUI in a 64-bit Windows
system. Workaround: When telnet access to elements is required in a 64-bit
installation, use the free “putty” application (32bit) instead.
To use “putty” put the following line in the fnm.properties file:
com.adva.fnm.security.CLI_WINDOWS=C:\\path_to_putty\\putty.exe -telnet
{ip}where “path_to_putty” represents the full path to the putty.exe file
58. For 5TCE10GT-D modules service provisioning fails when the user specifies a
path and a channel number to be used for the service. Workaround: The user
should not specify the channel number and let the Control Plane pick the channel
number for the service
59. For FSP 1500 Devices, the user is advised to use the element manager to
restore the NE Database backup configuration that may have been performed
using Ensemble Controller.
60. For FSP3000R7 devices, the 40CSM OJG shelf is not supported in the Service
Wizard.
61. In a High Availability configuration when the system automatic switchover to a
standby server, the optional supplemental shell script (secondary.sh) will be
executed twice.
63

Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
62. Data Services sharing the same OCS should reside in the same Service Group
folder or directly under the same Customer.
63. For provisioned service, the user may see an error message in the message
window stating that equalization of the service has failed. Workaround: The user
may trigger a manual equalization process on the Service. The user may also
Version:ignore
1.1 such message if it is not for the first service on the tunnel
64. The user may see an error message in the performance management window
when entities are removed from the system while the PM template assignment
action is being applied. Workaround: The user can use the refresh button from
the tool bar before viewing the results
65. Provisioned services should only be deleted from the system while in the “UP”
state. This will ensure that that proper cleanup of all the entities is performed at
the NE.
66. Provision Services for 2TWCC2G7 on FSP3000R7 do not support OTU1 facility
type setting on the Network Port for GBE client service type. Workaround: The
user should provision OC48 or STM16 network facility types for such services.
67. For FSP 150CM, the user should avoid manually changing LinkLossFwdSignalType
and LinkLossFwdTrigerType parameters using the craft interface as event
notifications of such action are not sent to Ensemble Controller. Additionally,
requests that fail and must undo these parameter settings will not update
Ensemble Controller database due to missing notifications.
68. Services involving 4TCA-PCN+4GU module in ADM mode for FSP3000R7 may not
correctly display the Active Path status (either displays both path’s active or
displays an incorrect path active). Workaround: The user should run status poll
on the start and end nodes of the service.
69. Protected provisioned involving 4TCA-PCN+4GU in ADM mode do not properly
deescalate alarms on the protection path. Moreover, alarms from intermediate
modules in such configurations are also correlated to the service.
70. When there is a condition on a VCH affecting the network port or equipment, the
faulted service view will show a Service-C-Affected alarm in the faulted service
view instead of Service-N-Affected alarm.
71. The user is advised to not modify the restoration configuration (enabled/disabled)
for provisioned services after the service has been created. This parameter can
be set when the service is being created for the first time.
72. For provisioned protected services with a mixed configuration of fixed and
tunable filter for working/protection path, the user advised to retry a failed
provisioning by specifying the channel number for the fixed filter.
73. Multiple Dying Gasp Host unreachable (configuration) alarms are not handled
properly in Ensemble Controller.
74. Previously collected PM data for FSP 150CM Devices Access Port will be lost when
the media type of the port is changed.
75. When creating a restored provisioned service (“Restoration Enabled” box
checked) ensure that there is a valid signal already on the desired working and
protected paths, so that the service will not try to protection switch and/or
restore as soon as it’s created.
76. The user is advised not to minimize the Install Anywhere installation tool during
the installation of Ensemble Controller on a Windows OS. If the user does
minimize it, it's important to restore the window before the installation
completes. If the installation completes with the Install Anywhere window
minimized, it will not be possible to restore the window. The user will have to kill
the Ensemble Controller process from the task manager.

77. If Ensemble Controller is managing an FSP 1500 device and the NMS IP address
is not in the trap receiver list for the device, configuration change traps for the
High Speed Service Ports will not appear in NMS even after configuration polling.
Please make sure the Ensemble Controller is in the trap receiver list for the
device.
78. When an FSP 150EG-X device is discovered on Ensemble Controller and has
Version:TS/BC
1.1 Sync Node provisioned with multiple SOOCs protection, and the user
selects the route containing this TS/BC Sync Node, and uses “Go to slave Sync
Node” menu option to navigate to this slave Sync Node on the Synchronization
tree, the Synchronization tree path which is open as a result may not show the
active clock path to this TS/BC Sync Node. As a workaround, the user can look
for the active clock route in the Sync Map view, for this selected TS/BC Sync
Node.
79. Trap sink registration via SNMPv3 is not available on the FSP 150CCf-825 device
due to a defect on the device. Traps are sent via SNMP v2 instead.
80. Some service types and also parameters on the facility page of the service wizard
contain values required to support services provided by newer releases of the
FSP 3000R7. Some of these values may not be backwards compatible with older
releases of the device and using them may cause service creation to fail. The
solution is to make sure to provision the service with the appropriate values the
software release of the NE being managed.
81. OTU-2 services on 10TCC100G are created with EFEC as the most efficient FEC.
This mode is not support on older versions FSP 3000R7(12.x and older). Please
make sure FEC is set to GFEC when creating OTU-2 services on older versions of
the element. ADVA recommends upgrading to a current release of the device.
82. Due to a limitation on the device, NE Database Backups scheduled between 0:00
and 1:00 will fail on FSP1500 devices. The workaround is to enable the NE
backup retry and set it to 2 retries at 30 minute intervals.
83. In certain configurations it is possible that provisioning a service between NEs
with older releases will not complete successfully with an error indicating that
there was an ‘SNMP Commit Failure’. The recommendation is to upgrade the NEs
to the latest version that is compatible with the Ensemble Controller version.
84. The module page of the service wizard may allow the user to select a port on the
4TCA4G module which is not supported for the selected service type.
85. Ensemble Controller Optical Director supports setting the Error Forwarding Mode
to Laser Off on network interfaces of the 2WCC10G module. Service creation may
fail if this value is used while managing older versions of the FSP 3000AC.
86. L2 Remote PTP Slaves on OSA540x devices are not shown in Sync Director
87. After a software upgrade of the OSA5440 device, the device may appear to have
an SNMP communication failure of the switchover does not complete in under 40
minutes. The workaround is to run inventory polling on the device.
88. OCH layers created in releases prior to ENC R11.3.1 which use PM modules may
not show the correct oper state. Re-exploring the service(for explored services)
or setting the admin state to the same state it is currently in will recompute and
correct the oper state.
89. If the user uses Remote Desktop to connect to a Windows 10 machine to use the
Ensemble Controller client, the client may appear to freeze if it is open when the
RDP sessions starts. The workaround is to restart the ENC client.
90. FSP ALM devices that will be integrated to Fiber Director Server, must use SNMP
v1 or v2c during the ENC discovery process. SNMPv3 is not yet supported by
Fiber Director.
91. PM Points on XG480, XG418, XG404 devices can be collected using default PM
Profiles only. User defined PM Profiles are not supported by ENC for these
devices.
92. Explore path services are not supported for services with the Unknown Network
device in the path. Unknown Object should be used instead.
93. The Remark and Alternate Name fields in the Overview tabs of services may not
be populated properly. The workaround is to open the Modify wizard from the
65
- Classified as Confidential -
Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
context menu of the service and then click Finish. The fields should be populated
after this step.
94. Although DCN Alarm for OSA3230B mentions SNMP in the description text, the
DCN for OSA3230B is based on TCP disconnect. SNMP is not used for OSA3230B
95. TAPI does not support:
• Protected services
Version:•1.1Services that do not appear in the multi-layer model in ENC
• NfC provisioning
1. Device support is unavailable for VIF and Dummy Interfaces, service RFC2544,
service Y1564, SCP and FTP Backup, Restore, and Upgrade support.
2. When you configure or modify an OSPF Area in a dummy or virtual interface using
the GUI, the OSPF Area field is created or modified correctly, but the new or
modified entry is not added to the OSPF Areas list. To add the entry to the OSPF
Areas list, use the CLI to manually add the new row in the OSPF Areas table under
OSPF Protocol Configuration.(PV-13458)
3. Performing an SFTP upgrade on an OptiPacket does not work, and generates an
"Error (permission denied)" status message. This can occur when any user other
than the Pro-Vision NETCONF user previously performed an upgrade using the CLI
with an image name that is the same as the image name the user is trying to
upgrade from Pro-Vision. Since the owner/permissions do not match, the image can't
be uploaded and the upgrade fails. To avoid this, login to the OptiPacket, open the
Linux shell, and manually delete the old image file(s) from the "/ver" directory so
that Pro-Vision can upload its upgrade image.(PV-12867)
4. You can only set port assignments while adding UNIs/NNIs, not while updating them.
Therefore, you cannot change port assignments for a UNI or NNI that is already
assigned to a service.(PV-12146)
5. Wavelength services that use muxponder trunk ports as endpoints are currently not
supported. You should create these types of wavelength services from access port to
access port. For example, if you need to create a wavelength service between Node
A, slot 10 port 9 and Node B, slot 10 port 9 (assume these are OD-DMXP10G
modules), you will need to use any one of the eight access ports on either
muxponder as endpoints of that wavelength service.(PV-11779)
6. The configuration that follows is part of the factory default configuration for a V8-M
device. If a "Module does not exist" error is displayed when you attempt to issue any
of the VDSL module commands in Pro-Vision, verify that this configuration exists on
the device.(PV-11033)
7. No option currently exists to configure the index at the AC interface, for example,
attached to the port number .25 at eth-1/0/1.25, when you add a service to an
OptiPacket device. Pro-Vision automatically adds this service.(PV-8933)
8. After the system adds an E-Service bandwidth profile to an OptiPacket end point,
any changes you make to that bandwidth profile in the Pro-Vision database do not
automatically push down to the device. If this situation occurs, you need to manually
66
- Classified as Confidential -
Version: A Ensemble Controller R13.3.3
update the bandwidth profile directly on the device by using the chassis panel E-
Services: Policer/Shaper table. First disable the profile, save it, and then change the
profile. Save the profile again, re-enable it, and then save it.(PV-8886)
9. The outer tag is used as the sub-interface index. For example, for port 1.20 and
outer tag 214, the AC created will be eth-1/0/20.214, with outer tag 214. If you
create an AC using the CLI, you must use the same convention as Pro-Vision. It is
Version: 1.1 that the sub-interface and outer tag match. If you do not use this method
mandatory
while configuring using the CLI, you may see discrepancies in Pro-Vision.(PV-7720)
10. When you create OptiPacket services, unintended updates are made to a profile on
the OptiPacket if you have already added the profile using another service and
assigned that same profile to another service. If the Pro-Vision profile contains
changed values, the device reflects these values if the service is added or updated.
This situation occurs if you create a profile on Pro-Vision in the Bandwidth Profile
window (Policer or Shaper), create an E-Service and assign the profile, change the
profile on the Pro-Vision Bandwidth Profile window, and create a new E-Service on
the device with the profile assigned. The device updates, and Pro-Vision reflects the
changes. Both services reflect the change because multiple services share the
profile. The same updates will occur if any other services on the device change their
profile assignments to this updated profile.
11. The purpose of the Sync Config (Pro-Vision to Device) feature is to restore the
configuration after you replace an OptiSwitch. This feature has certain limitations
because if you replace an OptiSwitch, its configuration must be minimal to ensure no
dependency issues arise. For example, if the OptiSwitch has an enabled service, the
switch does not allow SNMP sets to the ports that the service uses. If you run Sync
Config (Pro-Vision to Device) on an OptiSwitch that has this configuration, potential
problems might occur. The feature currently only synchronizes objects that are in the
Pro-Vision database. If other configurations exist on the switch, for example,
configurations manually done through the CLI, you might encounter a dependency
issue.
12. The configuration for the Batch Upgrade (FTP) and Backup/Restore Config (FTP)
features are stored only in the switch, not in the database. Therefore, the Sync
feature does not support them.
13. Pro-Vision does not recognize any services you have previously created on
OptiSwitches without using the Pro-Vision service CLI. If you previously created a
service through the service CLI on an OptiSwitch before the use of Pro-Vision, any
attempt by Pro-Vision to configure a port belonging to that service will fail.
14. Currently, Pro-Vision supports only Version 2 and Version 3 trap filters for ADVA
proprietary traps. You must configure the trap client on your device as an SNMPv2 or
greater client trap in order for Pro-Vision to properly process received traps.
