3 Installing the hp openview nnm Platform Bridge Component
3.1 Preparing the hp openview nnm System
In addition to having a properly installed and functioning HP OpenView NNM version 6.1 or 6.2 system, the HP
Toptools for OpenView NNM platform bridge component requires the installation of a qualified browser (see
section 1.2). In addition, the HP Toptools Server Bridge component must already be installed so that the platform
bridge component can link to it.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
HINT:
The Toptools console
can be displayed from
the browser using the
URL:
http://<ttserver>/hptt
where <ttserver> is
the IP address or
DNS name of the
Toptools Server.
HP OpenView NNM Version 6.1 or 6.2 is installed and functioning properly.
A qualified browser is installed and configured such that it is able to bring up the toptools
console.
The HP Toptools Server Bridge component of HP Toptools for OpenView NNM has been
successfully installed, is running, and is reachable over the network. (Try “telnet <hostname>
5041” and see if you can connect without a warning.)
All 4 SNMP services should be started. From the Control Panel, run the Services applet and
verify that “SNMP”, “SNMP EMANATE Adapter for NT”, “SNMP EMANATE Master Agent” and
“SNMP Trap Service” are all started and set on “Automatic” startup.
HP OpenView NNM services should be started. This can be done from the Windows menu.
Start->Programs->HP OpenView->NNM Services – Start
or by executing ovstart. To check the status of the services from the Windows menu, select
Start->Programs->HP OpenView->NNM Status
3.2 SNMP with netservers & nnm-nt
If Netserver Agents and NNM-NT/WINDOWS 2000 are installed on the same system the NNM-NT/WINDOWS
2000 SNMP EMANATE agents take precedence over the normal SNMP agent and settings. If you want the
Netserver to send traps to a management console you must perform the following:
1. Modify SNMP read/write community strings on a Netserver with NNM-NT. The community string is
usually set in the SNMP Properties field on the Netserver. When you install NNM-NT/Windows 2000, the
NNM-NT/WINDOWS 2000 EMANATE SNMP agent overrides and intercepts the normal SNMP
communication.
To set the SNMP read and write community strings, you must manually modify the snmpd.conf file
(usually located in C:\Openview\conf\SNMPAgent\ ) using an ASCII editor such as notepad. When
NNM-NT/WINDOWS 2000 processes start, this file is read and its entries are used to update the SNMP
configuration options in snmp.cnf.
get-community-name: public

contact: <contact’s name/location/number>
location:
<enter location of agent>
max-trap-dest: <enter max no. of trap-dest entries to be maintained.>
