Disconnecting Communication between global1 and regional1

To shut down (either temporarily or permanently) a global manager (for example, global1) you must disconnect communication between the global manager and regional managers.

This example assumes that global1 still has active subscriptions to regional1.

To disconnect communication between global1 and regional1, follow these steps:

1. From the global1NNMi console, click Global Network Management in the Configuration workspace.

2. Click Regional Manager Connections.

3. Check to make sure the status is Connected. If the status is not Connected, diagnose the problem using information from the Troubleshoot Global Network Management topic in the NNMi help before continuing.

4. Select regional1, then click the Open icon.

5. Click Connection, select regional1.x.y.z, then click the Delete icon.

6. Click Save and Close.
7. In the Regional Manager Connections tab, note the Name attribute value for regional1 (case-sensitive). You need this text string for the RemoteNNMiServerName variable in a later step.
8. Click Save and Close.

9. On global1, at the command line, type the following command:

   nnmnodedelete.ovpl -rm regional1 -u NNMiadminUserName -p NNMiadminPassword

10. These commands remove the node records from global1 that regional1 forwarded to it. The commands also close incidents associated with the nodes forwarded to global1 from regional1. For detailed information, see Disconnect Communication with a Regional Manager in the NNMi help.

11. To remove the configuration records for regional1, do the following.

    1. Click the Configuration workspace.
    2. Select the Global Network Management form.
    3. Select the Regional Manager Connections tab.

    4. Select regional1, then click the Delete icon.

    5. Click Save and Close to save your deletions.
12. Complete step 1 through step 11 for other regional NNMi management servers, such as regional2, that are connected to global1.
