Configuring Certificates in Global Network Management Environments with Failover

During NNMi installation the installation script creates a self-signed certificate for the NNMi management server. This certificate contains an alias that includes the fully-qualified domain name of the node. The installation script adds this self-signed certificate to the NNMi management server’s nnm-key.p12 and nnm-trust.p12 files.

If you are using a mix of newly installed NNMi 10.30 instances and NNMi management servers upgraded to the version 10.30 from an older version, follow the guideline in Configure an Upgraded Environment to Use the New Keystore.

This example uses the global network management configuration with the application failover feature as shown in the following diagram:

Global Network Management with Application Failover
