Multihomed NNMi Management Server

When an NNMi management server is configured to have multiple IP addresses, managed nodes always use the IP address configured with the operating system on the NNMi management server. If you want to configure NNMi to use a non-default IP address while communicating and exchanging data with managed nodes, follow the procedure in this section.

To configure NNMi to use a non-default IP address with managed nodes:

1. Log on to the NNMi Management Server.

2. Open the following file with a text editor:

   1. On Windows: %nnmdatadir%\shared\nnm\conf\props\nms-communication.properties
   2. On Linux: /var/opt/OV/shared/nnm/conf/props/nms-communication.properties
3. To set a non-default IPv6 address, uncomment the com.hp.ov.nms.comm.snmp.sourceAddress.IPv6 property, and then set the property to an IPv6 address of your choice.

4. To set a non-default IPv6 address, uncomment the com.hp.ov.nms.comm.snmp.sourceAddress.IPv4 property, and then set the property to an IPv4 property of your choice.

   Note If NNMi is installed in an HA cluster, you must reconfigure NNMi . The value of the NNM_INTERFACE property in the ov.conf file must match the value specified with the com.hp.ov.nms.comm.snmp.sourceAddress.IPv4 property in the nms-communication.properties file.

5. Restart the NNMi processes by running the following commands:

   • On Windows:

     1. %nnminstalldir%\bin\ovstop -c
     2. %nnminstalldir%\bin\ovstart -c

   • On Linux:

     1. /opt/OV/bin/ovstop -c
     2. /opt/OV/bin/ovstart -c
