Start, Stop, or Restart All NNMi Services

Stopping the NNMi services before changing the NNMi configuration prevents conflicting data from being stored in the NNMi database. Some procedures call for restarting the NNMi services to read the updated configuration.

Tip The ovstart and ovstop commands apply to all of the following products (if installed in your environment):

  • NNMi
  • NNM iSPI for IP Telephony
  • NNM iSPI for MPLS
  • NNM iSPI for IP Multicast
  • NNM iSPI Performance for QA

For information about NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic, see Start, Stop, or Restart All NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic Services.

Follow the instructions specific to your environment:
