2.2 Preparing the toptools Server


The toptools server must be installed and accessible to the system running HP OpenView NNM. Refer to Section 1
for instructions for configuring toptools and browsers.

Using the browser, invoke the URL

http://<Toptools

_Server>/hptt where <Toptools_Server> is the fully-qualified

DNS hostname or IP address of the system running the toptools server application. If you are unable to access the
toptools server, consult the toptools manuals directory to troubleshoot the problem.

You may be prompted for a login. Only members of one of the three toptools user groups “toptools”, “toptools
operator”, or “toptools admin” are authenticated to access the toptools server.

To simplify logins from the OpenView NNM server, use the Windows NT
User Manager to add OpenView NNM users to the the appropriate toptools
group(s) on the toptools server. Otherwise, each browser launch will be
accompanied by an authentication prompt.

2.3 Step-by-Step Instructions


On the toptools server, run the Setup.exe file located on the CD at
\Enterprises\ttwja4nnmnt for NT systems and \Enterprises\tt4nnmux or tt4nmsol for HPUX or Solaris systems.

WARNING:


Discovery is turned off by
this installation. Proper
operation of both Toptools
and the bridge require that it
NOT be turned on again.

When you execute the file the Setup wizard will check your system to see which applications (NNM, toptools) are
present. During the installation process the wizard will display its status.
